Awesome but Under-used skins lines

Necrozard··41 votes·3,416 views

We all know some skin line are fanstastic, but some of them only contain 1 champion

So i would like to discuss about these unexploited and forgotten skin lines


Neon Strike Vi Evoques me violent colours and flashy violence, also near-illegal methods. They are supposedly siding with the "good guys" of Super Galaxy. So what kind of elegants Vanguards could fit there ...

  • Neon Strike DrMundo , he always a was nice guy acting terribly wrong, probably this side of the law is for him (and he's already weirdly coloured, he wouldn't feel out of place)
  • Neon Strike Ekko , Ekko hates Cops but he wants to fix what's wrong . So that's the best way to do it.
  • Neon Strike Renekton because he looks like "Crocubot" from Rick and Morty and he also have "a tragic backstory" About Renekton : Skins lines are a good way to tie unrelated champions to each other, so it's better that this skinline doesn't become Zaun exclusive. Just like the Omega Squad isn't Yordle Exclusive

Master Arcanist Ziggs Excellent fits for** humanoid mages**, especially the ones that require a high level of skill to be played wonderfully (Magic monstrosities would feel weird with this skin line)

  • Master Arcanist Taliyah fit because she's "in training" , this skin would show the apotheosis of her carreer But she need "solid objects" to cast her abilities, her aesthetic would likey be focused arround creating her own magic stones (and less about relying on rocks)
  • Master Arcanist Leblanc fits the descritpion, but she would need something to show how amazingly powerful she became when she use spells (just like God Fist Lee Sin abilities compared to his default skin)
  • Master Arcanist Zilean is unpopular and already have a 5/5 skin, so he's not high on the priority list to get a skin. But a Mage that control Time without external use deserve to show how powerful and scary his power is
  • Master Arcanist Ryze have a ton of skins. But as the protector Runeterra and the keeper of the World Runes, he also deserves to show his might
  • <Any humanoid mage serioulsy>

Soul Reaver Draven "A creature devoid of morality, common sense, and intelligence." Make perfect sense to him

  • Soul ReaverTalon is a popular suggestion, still relevant just like" devoid of morality"
  • Soul ReaverThresh *would feel redundant, and he already have blue-coloured skins , bad idea *
  • <A champion that have just a slight bit of morality/humanity>, so its removal feels impactful and scary

Dunk Master Darius

  • Dunk Master Illaoi will come out eventually, it's been hinted in the past, it's just a waiting game
  • Dunk Master JarvanIV goes well with the theme too (He does have dunking abilities) it would also give more depth to regional-rivalities (Noxus - Demacia - Bilgewater)

Sewn Chaos Orianna Great idea to use the "toy"/"wooly" feel and give it a touch of "twisted evil magic". Annie's style with Tibbers Non-humanoid champions, or champions that could look like toys would fit well

  • Sewn Chaos Kalista with her lances as knitting needle and her body as a ragdoll, a cool but forgotten idea of artstation
  • Sewn Chaos Volibear would contrast with his others skins (goofy or brown bear), give him a dark twisted Tibber's and cute side would benefit his skin diversity (maybe we need to wait for his VGU before he gets more skins)

If you have some simple coherent ideas, solid in-depth concepts or just skin-lines where you see un-used potential Tell me, i would love to hear them, one day it might inspire someone important TahmKench

Base form is a civilian man. white collared shirt, suspenders. Rhaast form is a your typical mob boss. Black pinstripes. Fat cigar. Five o'clock shadow. Shadow Assassin is a sneaky detective. Trench coat. High collar.

All of em have a nice Stetson style hat.

Released with Officer Camille and Mafia Xayah/Rakan

I have M7 on all these champs and I think it would be so perfect. I want skins for the new champs ;-;

Noir Kayn

That's like creating another skinline for just one champion But you concept is coherent so it should be fine

Kayn have a lot of potencial to become "the missing link" between skin lines (like Project as Shadow assasin form or Battlecast as Darkin form)

Or in your case, a connexion between the mafia and the officer skin lines ;p

Skaiserus3 votes

Its more like hes trying to add Kayn into the "Mafia" skin line. I mean, it would be strange to be called Mafia, and then youre actually a detective.

the weeaboo3 votes

I would have called it Mafia except that would only really include the Rhaast form. So I went with a label that fit all.

To be honest, I disagree. He could take an appearance more like ifrit.

This is way much cooler than a shitty Valentine skin xD I love the idea of giving them a dark-ish side :p

Shadowfire: Brand

Brand is already fire and shadow*( dark/black )*, it doesnt add anything new :v

Eternum: Malphite

This one made me laugh xD very fast Malphite running at incredible hihg speed Old Rek'Sai ult and Current Nocturne's Ult fit this description Add Malphite (or even Warwick) to the list is a great idea

Runeborn

Completly forgot this skinline even existed xP

Worldbreaker : Aatrox Mordekaiser I specificaly love these ideas, because their weapons and armor would look fantastic with a touch of "purple" and "amerindian style" And the lore of this champions (disregards humans) fit well the idea of Worldbreaker

Sancre2 votes

Shadowfire isn't just shadows and fire, based on Kindred's skin, its a mix of white and gold armor with yellow fire and black, almost organic armor mixed with crimson red fire.

I wouldn't say no to a Brand skin with a full armor of black, gold and white, almost like a divine being, blasting red hot flames everywhere


Added Malphite and Warwick to that because of their ults, the speeding similar to Rek and Noct, while I added Urgot cause it seemed cool, but regardin Eternum Cassiopeia, it seems that having a speeding ult isn't necessary for this line


No one remembers runeborn, as only Xerath had it and its quite meh, but i'm quite eager to see what they could do with tech they have nowadays, and with more solid champions instead of the ball of magic that Xerath is.


I was really puzzled when Mordekaiser wasn't added to the first batch of these skins, he seemed to be born for it.

I kinda put there Cho'gath the same reason i did with Urgot on Eternum, it could look really cool on that thematic, but he lacks a weapon

Necrozard1 votes

"its a mix of white and gold armor with yellow fire and black"

Never saw a Brand skin with actual armor

Just like Zac before his SKT skin

So just for this that could be a good idea


Eternum Cassiopeia

I can explain

Cassiopeia skins were lacking two things : - red color theme **- aura of power **(and technology ?)

A skin for the Mastery 7 Cassiopeia players And** Eternum** was doing these two things correctly

No one remembers runeborn

Yeah :v It's an old and simple skin, on a rare champions that have better skins The theme of Runeborn is also not giving creative vibes Anything could be "runeborn", that's the problem

Sewn chaos Orianna is still a good skin , with a strong concept

Mordekaiser wasn't added

Hecarim is already a Shadow Isles champion, they try to add regionnal diversity It was either Hecarim (monstruous looking) or Mordekaiser (Humanoid looking)

but he lacks a weapon

I think you found an essential aspect of this skinline The champion need to have an emblematic weapon

I hope for your suggestion: **World Breaker ** Mordekaiser (Shadow Isles)

And bet on this one : **World Breaker ** Illaoi (Bilgewater => new region)

Sancre2 votes

Too bad it seems main didn't like eternum cassio though, I think that it's cool

About the Runeborn, thats why i think that it would be interesting, i want to see how they would define the skinline that was left out so long ago

Mordekaiser could go as a worldbreaker for Noxus though, as he could be considered like that right now, that would leave out Sion for that skinline

Necrozard1 votes

main didn't like eternum cassio

I like it too :v Red is a new colour and it's a scarry skin :v

i want to see how they would define the skinline

Now me too xp

Mordekaiser could go as a worldbreaker for Noxus

Mordekaiser is not allied to Noxus, he seek to makes them go away from his house (The Immortal Bastion is his house) He's really associated with the Shadow Isles

Sancre2 votes

Yes, i Know Morde right now is riding the mist, but if they didn't want to repeat the shadow isles for that skin, they could stretch it and say that he is representing the ancient Noxus built around his bastion

we actually did see 2 new sewn chaos skins, for amumu and blitzcrank, they got cancelled though, i dont know why because i liked them

Necrozard3 votes

For 750 RP skin, they had budget limitations, very strict limits

And when the limit were respected, the final product wasn't good enough for its price

They should have higher the price, but then even less people would have bought it

They cancelled them to do somehting greater, so it's nice somehow

Like an incoming ressurection :v

Radiant

Leona - sounds redundant, but could give her an Amaterasu theme and look https://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/smite.gamepedia.com/2/2f/SkinShot_Amaterasu_Default.png mirror is her shield, sword is a katana Kayn- could do a half Lunar wrath/Radiant skin

Jade Dragon

AurelionSol - make him like the dragon from Jade Dragon Wukong's splash, but with flaming jade dragon heads spinning around him Galio - Galio made of Jade, possibly with a dragon head Braum -Jade shield, passive shaped like a dragon, ult makes jade shards pop out of the ground

Underworld

Bard - collects souls, health shrine becomes a soul shrine, sinister sound effects from his ult and portal KogMaw - fires ghostly energy at the enemy Jhin - ghostly grenades and traps, every time he fires his ult, there is a ghostly wail

Associated with the same skin line as Headmistress Fiora.

Fallen Star Guardians. Because those girls and guy need some villains to fight other than your average garden variety space-monsters-of-the-week.

Rito Jericho2 votes

That would be a fun idea.

Necrozard2 votes

"Fallen Star Guardians."

Yes that's an idea that will happen somehow (lore or quotes of SG skins) These Star Guardians don't like all each others

Like Arhi or Syndra

Sulghunter2 votes

Ahri is a insert any rude term referring to a woman here , believing herself superior to all others. If anything, the worst case scenario might be her leading some sort of purge of the SGs, getting rid of anyone she thinks isn't fit to be a SG.

Syndra on the other hand, we can at least make a story of her being a villain. Her fall to evil could be a result of her seeking ever greater power, possibly feeling that the First Star's power ain't enough, willing to make a "deal with the devil" for more.

what about the most obvious skin we are waiting for ? like Dunk master Braum AKA LeBraum james

What about a Master Arcanist Victor skin where instead of technology all his weapons and ablilties are more magical.

Slayer/Zombie needs to come back soon and frequently.

That's a good idea, but I have no idea what champions they could put :v

From another thread I made on the topic:

Slayer Graves Slayer Ekko Zombie Illaoi Zombie Trundle

GinkoG2 votes

Traditional Trundle is enough for a zombie skin, at least that's what I think.

RookPusher4 votes

Trumble shambles around the map. he's a step away from a Zombie walk already, and it would go well with his abilities.

Tower of Corpses Necrotic Kingdom ZOMBIE BITE!

Arakadia2 votes

Illaoi would be perfect for the skin. Unfortunately she's perfect for a lot of skins yet has only one.

Ekko fits but I hate him so its a struggle.

RookPusher3 votes

I picked Ekko because the slayers either use guns or chainsaws, and his model would work well with a chainsaw.

By far, I'd have to go with the jurrasic line. No, not prehistoric.

So far we only have jurrasic Chogath and KogMaw , but just think of how many more champions would look so cool with a model where they are skeletons! Jurrasic cho was a skin I always wanted when I first started playin, but when prehistoric cho came out now whenever I mention jurrasic cho people think I'm talkin bout his prehistoric skin. XP

Anyway so far the 2 champs with a jurrasic skin are void champs, so maybe we could keep up with that theme, with the exception of Kassadin and Malzahar of course, as they are more huminoid when compared to other void champs.

Hell, I think a jurrasic Warwick , Volibear , Skarner Renekton , and Nunu would look pretty darn cool.

And can you imagine how hilarious a jurrasic Gragas would look? It wouldn't fit on him, yeah, but seeing a fat dude be a literal skeleton would make me laugh. His beer, or whatever it is he drinks/throws out, could be replaced with polluted river water, thats just a suggestion for a lame idea I came up with tho. XD

Necrozard1 votes

jurrasic

Ho yeah prehistoric but only with bones, i forgot this skin line existed xd

I think the Jurrassic skin-lines works better with monstruous beings When creatures have abnormal bodies (the void excells at creating that)

Jurrasic :

  • Warwick the exposed bones of a werewolf, good idea
  • Renekton Because it's already a prehistoric skin, and Crocodile bones are scarry, good idea too
  • Nunu No xD . More serioulsy he already have a zombie skin, he's already white on his base skin and th tiny human on his shoulders would need to be a skeleton too. that's not really fitting

But if you had suggested a **Beast Hunter **Nunu , i would have agreed no problem Can't be 100% Prehistoric because of of the boy, need to be a human-sided skin And Yeti (mammals like humans) killing dinosaurs (reptiles) doesn't feel like treachery

  • Gragas NO XD. Too spooky to handle for little kids and chinese people (the owers of Riot Games by extension) Big boned Gragas would be funny and scarry ... ...how can he drink now that his body is body ... ... if he could drink what would a skeleton drink ... ... "with polluted river water" ... ... so it's now a wasteland survivor gragas ? ... ... but he's aware that he's a skeleton so why he keeps on drinking when he see that it's useless ...

Very weird skin :p

(Serioulsy this kind of things could rise the PEGI age, currently +12)
