Ideas For Omega Squad Skins

Haku Prodigy··2 votes·553 views

With the new omega squad skins being release, I enjoy the sort of re-imagining of the champions if there were black ops soldiers. You got the commander Tristana : essentially SECOND in command since Teemo is technically the leader? The saboteur Fizz : I guess like a infiltrator. Then the medic Twitch and artillery Veigar . One who uses his medical knowledge to create the perfect poison and a explosive expert (sorry little guy Ziggs ).

Anyway celebrating the release for these awesome skins, I got a idea for for a champion that can add to the omega squad line up and that is Sona . I wanted to see some more new skins for support champions and I know we have Twitch as the "medic" within the omega squad motif. In this case, I imagine that Sona would be the "supplier." Sona carries a big green canvas backpack, wears tactical goggles, and has computers surrounding her that gives view of her allies and sends care packages to them. I don't know exactly how to go about replacing her harp or "etwahl" from her original design but that's the best I could think of. For her Q, giving allies bonus damage would be indicated by a bullet symbol on them. Its like giving them ammunition. Think of arcade sona's health up and movement speed up. Players could hear a gun reload sound effect as well. Her W being a red cross symbol. When activating her E, players could hear a whistle sound effect. Then when activating her R, enemy champions would dance to the "Reveille" music.

Maybe It's not the best idea depicted within the theme, but it sounds a lot better in my head [zombie-brand-clap] . What you guys think? Other than that, I am interested in hearing omega squad skin ideas from you all. What champions should be in the omega squad? And if so, do you have the design in mind? Idle and abilities animation, attire, etc. Come on and don't be shy to share your ideas [slayer-pantheon-thumbs] .

I like the idea to have a supplier support, but I think Sona isn't a good choice. Omega Squad skins to this point are all yordle or yordle sized champions. Having a human with Sona mixed in there would be odd in my opinion.

I could imagine Lulu, having a drone as pix.

I guess Sona would be a odd choice to the mix. But I agree that Lulu is a better candidate to being the supplier. Also the drone idea is a nice touch. Why I didn't think of that [zombie-brand-facepalm] . Drone plus Yordle equals instant-buy skin.

Isn't Omega Squad Teemo set in the future where he is the last survivor? After all the Promo Page shows Tristanas Firefighter Helmet and Teemo quoting: "We ain't all making it out of here" Another hint could be that Teemo shows up in every splash, but without his Omega Squad outfit and that the mission featuring him is called "The Rookie". I think it's safe to say that during the time the other skins are set in Teemo is the new member and still learning and Omega Squad teemo is his future self after surviving everyone else (due to stealth passive :P).

Corki The Pilot

The plane is changed to a military helicopter (like in the splash) and Corki is wearing futursitic looking Googles. P: The package is replaced with a big rocket Q: Shoots a grenade with much more impactfull SFX W: Explosions are a bit more widespread with multiple small craters E: A machinegun is extended from under the heli to shoot enemies R: Rockets sound more realistic and have a sleeker design Back: Makes some system checks before deploying some rocket boosters and dashing off Misc: To handwave why Corki can be seen, maybe have the heli be busted open in the front from damage (at least the window).

Heimerdinger The Intelligence

Heimer is wearing an Officer cap, black sunglasses and formal attire. Wrenches are replaced with walkie talkie and a handheld computer. Q + W: Turrets and Rockets look far more militaristic with harsher soundeffects E: Instead of an electical pulse it's a flash grenade that explodes brightly R: Emblems on his uniform and cap start glowing golden Back: Calls into his com and waits before a transport shows up and picks him up. Unlike the other skins he shouldn't climb into the Heli and instead enter through the door. Misc: Acts very proper (salutes and perfect posture), but this changes to a more lax posture (along with walking animation) with his toggle.

Kled The Cavalry

Kled is wearing torn military clothing (with ammo straps and overall bad condition), headphones with helmet (maybe not helmet, he is cray-cray) and carries a shotgun and machete. P: Kled rides a motorcycle that explodes when the HP are depleted. He calls in a new one once he maxes courage (time until delivery). Q: Shots a grappling hook / Unloads his shotgun W: Only small changes E: The motorbike revs up R: Makes a whellie while loud military music is heard Back: Starts with a back whellie then a front wheelie, circles around and then dashes off all the while blarring music. Misc: Performs various motorbike tricks during emotes.

Lulu The Supplier

Lulu is wearing a helmet with lot's of googles and tidy military clothes, her staff is a rifle and Pix is some kind of Drone. P: The Drone shoots with an installed machine gun Q: Both shoot some kind of rocket from an under barrel launcher W: Allies get injected with a srynge (maybe only small icon) / Enemies get coated with black smoke or transformed into cardboard boxes E: The Drone dashes to the target and deploys a futuristic shield to allies or shoots enemies R: The knockup is caused by an explosion and the grown champion could be covered by an energy net Back: Slowly and carefully climbs onto the drone and dashes off. Misc: "That tasted like Napalm"

I am not fully aware of the lore set in the omega squad timeline but given the clues, that does seem to be the case.

For Corki: Epic set up with his ability animations. Especially the machine gun. I would imagine to be like turrets. As for the helicopter design, that's clever. It's like a nod to all of current omega squad recall animation- Corki being there evac/drop off.

For Heimerdinger: I like that he is the "do it by the book" member of the team. I am interested in how Riot would go about this design. Definitely more sleeker and emphasis on sound impact.

For Kled: His overall ensemble reminds me of Marvel's Wolverine- a bad to the bone and harden veteran to countless wars. Not only that, both have carry a sense of insanity do to those experiences. If I would may make a suggestion, have one of Kled's taunt to be, "I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do isn't very nice..." and you got yourself a pretty solid skin.

For Lulu: Like I said to SatomiKun, Lulu is a better candidate to being the supplier and with you listing all those ideas- its more flesh out. You really nail both war and futuristic theme down pat.

With all of this in mind, I find your input really entertaining and I have high hopes that Riot would make these skins in to a reality somewhere in the future. As for an added lore, these four champion skins could represent new members of the omega squad team. Teemo could be their leader, that is after learning his mistakes and accepting his losses, he renew his vigor and set anew with the brand new omega squad team!....sorry if that sounds cheesy.

Glad you like the ideas. Tried to come up with some ideas for the other yordles, but some don't lend themselves to the military theme that well.

No worries. If anything, first hand ideas could sound silly at times. But not all of them are always perfect. So don't be afraid to tell them. I am curious how ideas goes in terms of their direction. You could always build upon a base idea and then improve from there. Other people could join in and give their inputs as well and make one whole concept, in this case, a champion skin that everyone enjoys. This goes for the rest of you- don't be afraid to share them bright ideas! [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Something to add on Corki, why not have his aircraft design based on Apache helicopters? You can have the front window view clear where you can see Corki sitting at the main pilot seat. Perhaps as a taunt, you could have him open the window like a hatch and put on a prideful stance: like Braum's taunt where he is standing on his shield.

A completely serious, totally legit question for Riot.
