NEW thresh skin: Heat-seeking Thresh

BadB0i·Mar 9, 2015·1 votes·433 views

Everyone knows why his Q is aptly named "Death Sentence". We also know how some games as thresh you just feel so good because you locked-on and sniped nearly every single Q. After a few play-making Q W combos the team starts realizing this thresh is prolife, this thresh is heatseeking. That's my proposal. Heatseeking thresh would be part of the Mecha/ battlecast series of skins. I know those are usually themed for the void characters, and blood moon is likewise for the shadow isles characters. Darius got his community creation legendary and I think that, specifically because of his game-making play-ability, and the dank 360 madlife no-scopes, this skin should totally be a thing.

Actually, if you read the lore, Shen and Akali aren't from the Shadow Isles, they're from Ionia. So that makes only 3/5 of the Blood Moon skins given to Shadow Isles champions. Also, Battlecast has seven skins right now - and only three of them are Void champions. Vel'Koz, Kog'Maw, and Cho'Gath. Skarner was originally from the Crystal Scar, but is currently from Shurima (Battlecast Alpha Skarner), Xerath's also from Shurima (Battlecast Xerath), Urgot is from Noxus (Battlecast Urgot), and then Viktor is from Zaun (Creator Viktor). Your concept also has little backing beyond conditional play experiences, there's no actual provided concept (beyond what I can guess would be Thresh's sickle being replaced with a missile.) On top of that, Thresh recently received a skin (Blood Moon Thresh), and also doesn't really have any compatibility with either the Mecha or Battlecast skin lines, mostly for the fact that his abilities can't quite be mechanized. And Dunk Master Darius is also kind of a bad reference to use when trying to attribute something to a skin line rather than a solitary thing. All-in-all, I think there's a lot of work to be done before this idea gets any honest attention.

I appreciate the feedback and that's a good point (my first time really using the boards). Ill put some effort to make it seem more viable and update it. The possibility of a battlecast skin for a non void character is promising though (i should've done more research)
