Skin Concept: Chess Azir

victorc44·Sep 16, 2014·13 votes·2,502 views

what if we had a skin of azir in a black and white, Checkered Costume. he could be the king, and his tower could be the queen. his summons could be rotating between, a rook, a knight, and a bishop. and his ult could be a line of pawns.

what do you guys think? please also share your ideas on this. Edit 2: i like the idea of EMOFRATPARTY, and the skin could actually look like it is made of Onix and Ivory, or Onyx and silver. Other ideas are welcome Edit: changed the word tower for the word rook.

Sounds great. I was thinking more of a granite or stone texture and the crown from a "king." The only drawback I can see there is a religious interpretation, but there is definitely a skin somewhere within this idea.

that is actually really good, and yes it can have a religious drawback, but maybe wee can have another thing that represents he is the "king"

There are chess sets that do not have a cross on the King's crown. I think the issue with this skin is defining the king, rook (for towers?) and pawns in a way that will make it uniquely Azir 's. That being said this is a great idea XD

How about getting it twice, in a black or white variant based on which side you are on.

This is good, but the drawback is that it can be hard to code into the game. what if like other champs' skins we have the red and green details, that tell us on what team they are on?

By tower you mean a rook, yes?

I think so, i dont really know all of the names for chess pieces...

If you are referring to the end pieces in the row behind the pawns then you're referring to the rook ^^ Just an fyi :)

If this were to happen it would probably turn out bad in game like skins that have the most amazing splashes but suck so bad in game. It would probably then start a chain of chess skins that would form a team because one chess skin wouldnt be right then deciding if Azir is one piece then who are the rest of the chess pieces and what do they play as in the pentakill skins for Karthus , Olaf , Sona , Yorick , Mordekaiser each being a certain role.

That is not really what i intend, but rather to have all of the chess pieces represented by him, and his abilities.

victorc44Sep 17, 20141 votes

but i also like your idea, to have a series of skins.

Yup. That sounds pretty good to me.

Personally I think a chess-themed skin would suit Ashe and Tryndamere more than Azir since there's more suitable material from the Freljord champions then Shurima.

victorc44Sep 17, 20141 votes

or even better, the Freljord champs are the "black pieces," and shurima champs are the "white pieces." ;-)

this is a really good idea, and i think that it fits his arch type very well, you kno wat else would be a good skin: conductor Azir!

Azir would be King Lissandra would be Queen Hecarim would be the Knight Soraka or Karthus would be the Bishop JarvanIV would be the tower Teemo would be the pawn
