How To Make Skins Worth It Even More (Need Feedback)

I don't know if this thread belongs here, but it has to do with skins. I think to really make skins worth the money, that more artwork gets changed and that the artwork is applied more. You probably don't understand. Let me break this down. Take Heartseeker Ashe for instance. Her abilities should be changed to be a "Heartseeker" version. The arrows could be changed to heartseeker ones, like the one Ashe uses. The artwork should also be displayed. Riot spent a lot of time on the artwork, so why not show it off a little more? Your champion picture on the bottom left of the screen (on default) should be changed to the artwork for the skin. So I would see the face of Heartseeker Ashe, not regular Ashe. When you're moving around the map, all players that see your icon on the minimap would see the skin version of that champion.

BASICALLY... Abilities will match the skin, and the skin artwork will replace any artwork of the original champion.

Let me know what you guys think about this idea. I think it adds to the skin, and REALLY makes it worth the money. Please answer the poll below and give feedback. If a Riot employee could respond if this could be possible in the next patch/update, that'd be nice.

Have a nice day to all that reads this post!

EDIT: I was going to make the mini map idea a client sided thing, but thanks to The Necron, I think that we should have the mini map idea a toggle able option. All credits go to him for the idea of the toggle able option. I was going to make it a client sided thing,

I agree, a skin that matches with the abilities makes it interesting and cool to buy. Totally.

I agree with what you're saying here, except for the minimap icon. It would be confusing for newer players, even experienced players might have trouble reading the icon to know what champion it is. The icons need to be easily understood from the moment you catch a glimpse of it.

While i doubt they will change the icons for EVERY skin, they should at least do it for the legendary skins, such as final boss veigar. Those icons would be sweeeeeeeeeeet!

Yes to the abilities but no to the minimap icon. There's too many different skins out there for someone to instantly know who they are looking at. I've seen posts of people getting confused as they are. Lol

Really if you wanted to you could just make it an option to see characters skins on the mini map considering the programming for it would be super easy with the new icons
