I think it would be cool if there was skill capes in league similar to the capes in Runescape but you would get one if you had a large amount of xp with your champion for eg 100k,500k or 1m i know what your thinking isn't that going to take allot of work but you would just need one standard cape to give all champions "how about skin?" i think the capes would be cool if they were put in a chroma tab like all the other chromas so you have the choice of using the cape or not "what if a champ already has a cape" if the champ already has a cape the new cape would replace it and also i would like to talk about the design of the cape i think it would be cool if the cape was red with a riot symbol on it or the amount of xp that you have on the champ would be displayed please give me feedback on this idea.

NEW IDEA: special boarders for champ mastery eg project skins and the vintage boarder for old Halloween skins

why give champs a cape? doesnt sound very interesting to me. Getting a skin for high mastery on the other hand would be great. Just a simple chroma skin would already be enough. Edit: Capes just dont seem like a worthwhile achievement at all. Why ruin my champ with him suddenly having a cape. Just think how ridiculous some champs would be with capes.

...how does Vel'Koz wear a cape?

In seriousness though, I think a Mastery Skin would be a better approach to the problem, as animating a seperate cape for every champion seems...overly difficult. I'd prefer a more subtle cosmetic though, as then players don't have to choose between showcasing their mastery and having a skin they like -- a much more dramatic animation for higher mastery levels would be my preferred method of doing something like this, provided it could be done in a way that it's not confusing in combat.
