Am I the only one who thinks of a shark swimming through the rift when Rek'Sai is burrowed?

I'm aware that Jaws has fallen out of pop culture, considering it came out in 1975. However, next year is the 40th anniversary, and Universal is very punctual about releasing copies every 5 years with 'X'th anniversary plastered all over it. That being said, they may be willing to work with Riot, i.e. sample the iconic theme without any sort of rights violation.

Just simple things, like a texture swap and triggered sounds for different movements. Instead of the shriek she puts out for her ult, it could be the climax of the theme, and going through her tunnels could be the simple 'ba-bum'. I'm not saying you couldn't sporadically put other sounds for other movement or attack actions, but these could be basic starting points. Sound-wise, since she doesn't have a normal VO, she actually lends herself to this idea more than any other champ.

Visuals could be the obvious fin in the water while burrowed, with some waves pulsing out as she moves, and her tunnels could be whirlpools. I'm very open to suggestions.

also we could get a Captain Quinn Gangplank XD

PS i would expect to pay at least 1350RP for the skin, based on detail, or even more likely a legendary

I had the same idea yesterday! I knew they wouldn't do the jaws theme for usual copyright reasons and stiff. :/ But ya I do love the idea of the theme being incorporated into it. I'd hate to advertise but I just think you would agree with most of the ideas I had for the skin check it out if you'd wish but either way I love the points you brought across in this journal.
