Caretaker Jack··7 votes·3,406 views

S3 is here and i'm super excited to see whose getting it. Please tell me who you think would make a good Star Guardian.

The Best (Opinion): Karma Taliyah Zoe (so perfect, they're practically guarenteed a spot.) Riven (Don't you gimmie that look! SG needs a top laner!)

Honorable Mentions: Ashe Akali Caitlyn Good. But they have too many skins already. Leona
Rakan Xayah (This would be sooo cute.) Fiora Sivir (already given skins this year.) Tristana

Taric is not on your list, so I immediately disapprove.

Taliyah definitely. She’s up for a permanent second skin, and Star Guardian just goes right up her alley.

Neeko I’d say is also a given. She needs a skin before her Snowdown skin goes Legacy, and Star Guardian fits perfectly.

Zoe obviously

also they already have a top laner star gardian Poppy

I love how many passive-aggressive downvotes there are for literally no reason though. I get that people take their skins seriously, and SG even more so...but jeez people, have some respect for opinions. >.>

Ehhhhh. That's not really the case though. Outside of Pizza Delivery and the New Blood Moon, Sivir's only other skin that actually modifies all of her particles is Snowstorm. The rest just change how Q and W looks (to match her blade), without changing her E or R at all. So that's 3 skins in her entire catalog that actually have the full spread for Sivir, and it's pretty shameful. She definitely could use a Star Guardian skin, IMO, because it'd be fun in the way that it could mimic Sailor Moon's Moon Tiara boomerang ability.

I guess I do, but Sivir doesn't have a pool party skin. I think of the older champions who could use more skins, Sivir is one.

sivir poolparty

Can you post this skins splash? Sivir is a personal favorite among ADCs but ive never heard of this skin.

Also PP for these lovely marksmen when? Jinx Vayne Lucian

ChaosReyn1 votes

Sivir doesn't have a Pool Party skin...but I think I remember seeing her idly in the background of one of the other pool party splashes.

One of the earlier ones...that or it was someone else with dark hair, and im just blind af. >.>

Star Guardian Irelia

too old imo, but I do feel like it's cute.

ChaosReyn2 votes

Slew of "STAR GUARDIAN URGOT!!!" Incoming...but to be serious for a moment:

  • Top has a SG skin (Poppy) but it definitely needs more. I however will expressly say though: Screw Riven. Not a single Riven player I've ever seen in game is worthy of getting such a skin - they're all mad toxic, even if they're winning...and besides that, her character doesn't really fit the guardian code, and her animations would be hard to translate into a good SG skin anyway. I would personally say Shen would be a decent top SG skin. Yes, I am aware the VAST majority of Star Guardians are females and Ez was supposed to be an exception...but Shen could be more like Tuxedo Mask in this case, being that one random guy that shows up out of nowhere, probably saving someone, landing like 3-5 autos in the entire fight, and declaring his absolute victory before disappearing into the night. No hate against Shen: top lane is "The Island" and Shen loves to splitpush, so as far as teamfights go, I imagine this just fits his usual playstyle of going it alone and only popping in to help his team occasionally.

  • I am 200% down with Taliyah. The only reason I am saying no to Star Guardian Zoe is that she's Targonian, and basically already a Star Guardian, in her own way. However...First Star Zoe would be something to see, if you want to push the subject further, as she would make the most sense - A Star Guardian born of the stars. But that'll never happen, because the community hates on her too much over her kit. >.>

  • Kayle needs to be a thing, straight up. One of the oldest champions in the game, with an ultimate that literally screams "I protecc" should be at least an honorable mention.

  • Quinn is another candidate I'm looking at...she already has a pet (all the star guardians seem to) and Riot describes her as the "firefighter" of LoL - flying around the map at mach 6 to help her team wherever she can. Plus, it'd be a very viable jungle option.

Caretaker Jack1 votes

Shen just doesn't have that appeal to me, but I guess it's possible.... In some respects, I do think Kayle and Quinn would be okay.

Personally, Zoe being cosmic shouldn't stop her from being a star guardian. She really does fit the theme and I think it would be a shame to let that stop her from joining the crew.

My top picks would be Annie Nunu Ekko Taliyah

Caretaker Jack1 votes

Annie is a cute option that I completely overlooked..

Chembaron Yamada2 votes

My preferred picks would be: Caitlyn Orianna Quinn Taliyah Sona

It would even be a full team. Caitlyn bot, Orianna mid, Quinn top, Taliyah jungle, and Sona support.

And yes, Caitlyn might have alot of skins, but that doesn't stop other champs to get more, so why should it stop her. She could be the intelligent and calculating member of the team, the strategist.

Orianna would be great because she could fulfill an interesting trope in my eyes. Kuudere, she might seem emotionless to strangers, but she actually cares alot about her friends. Maybe she got hurt on a mission and the first star was able to save her by giving her a magical, artificial body.

Quinn and Valor as magical girl and her familiar would fit too perfect to not give her a skin here.

Taliyah needs another skin, since the only one she got was because of worlds. I imagine her as himedere, acting like a princess (her sleeves would fit an outfit based on that).

And Sona fits the Star Guardians pretty well and was the only one coming to my mind for a support. ^^

Rathar Dashing2 votes

Dream team for me is Taliyah Zoe Sona Annie Nunu

ZaneShadow2 votes

Xayah Rakan Taliyah Zoe Orianna

This would be a pretty amazing team in my opinion. Rakan Xaya would be amazing, and Oriana fits that weird but somehow universally present “robot girl” trope.

I also really like taliya because there are no SG junglers

My honorary mentions: Annie Taric Fiora Nunu

Caretaker Jack2 votes

When you describe Orianna that way, it makes me want to see her as a Star Guardian too..

Winterkill2 votes

I would love to see Karma, Zyra, Neeko, Xeyah and Rakhan.

Confirmed New Star Guardian skins are Xayah, Rakan, Taliyah, LeBlanc and Neeko.

Caretaker Jack1 votes

how do you know? I'm fuckin hyped for xayah and rakan tbh... Leblanc and Neeko feel out of place though. Neeko is too new and it doesn't fit her too well while LeBlanc is just too badass for the brand. I'd prefer to see her in almost any other space theme skin line.

ChaosReyn1 votes

Are they really confirmed?

I would've thought LB would end up with a Dark Star skin, personally (damn Black Rose Illusionist...) but then again, Syndra ended up on the roster, so I cant be surprised.

Caretaker Jack1 votes

Syndra was surprising, wasn't she? Hahaha. I gotta agree with you here.

Leblanc seems more like she would fit the dark star line, and Xayah and Rakan seem pretty cool for the line though.

Chembaron Yamada2 votes

These are not confirmed at all, it was a fake leak.

Rathar Dashing1 votes

Those aren't even the champs from the big fake leak, which had Nunu and Tristana and Zoe as a good/evil star guardian. Only thing it got right that I can remember so far was that Tahm and Sej were getting new years skins, which was a pretty easy prediction given year of the pig.

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

Huh, you are right. How did he come up that these are confirmed then?

Another fake leak I don't know about yet? XD

Rathar Dashing1 votes

I can't even find the old leak anywhere. Haven't seen anything about a new one.

Linna Excel1 votes

Top: Riven Jungle: Kindred Mid: Orianna (make her legendary so she can be human) ADC: Ashe Support: Sona

Chembaron Yamada2 votes

Orianna doesn't even need to be human in that skin line. Robot girls are a trope in anime and they could quite easily explain her. They are fighting dangerous creatures, maybe Orianna got almost killed in a fight and the first star was able to prevent that by granting her a new, magical, artificial body.

Kindred as a Star Guardian would be a bit out of place for me, tho.

Rathar Dashing2 votes

You could even give Orianna the Astro Boy treatment, very similar to her own current lore.

Linna Excel1 votes

I'm thinking Kindred would work in that the star guardians seem to have an animal friend and she's got one built into her kit.

Chembaron Yamada2 votes

Alright, that's the reason I support Star Guardian picks like Quinn Annie as well. But the reason why Kindred is a bit awkward for me is not because of that.... it's lamb....

All Star Guardians have been clearly humanoid to this point. Soraka Poppy Janna Lulu Ahri While these champions are not entirely human, they resemble humans still alot and the most important part for me: facial expression. All these champions you see clearly human faces on, they feel more relatable because of that for me.

Neeko Nami Tristana Xayah Rakan These would fall in the same category. Not human, but enough so I could imagine them as magical girls (or boy in case of Rakan).

But Kindred is different.... We don't see lambs face because of the mask and this mask is an iconic feature of the champion, they will probably always wear a mask in every of their skins. So no facial expression here. Adding to that the animalistic body, lamb does stray too much for me. I can't see lamb as a magical girl. Lamb falls for me in the same category like Twitch, he is humanoid too, but strays too much to be considered for such a skin line.

I probably can't explain it well... let's say it that way; Champions like Nami and Ahri for me are humans with animal features. Stuff like Twitch and Kindred tend for me to be seen as animals with human features. Don't know if this makes sense, but that's how I see it. :/

Rathar Dashing2 votes

Tristana's not a star guardian.

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

Ups, that was a mistake, she actually belongs in the "isn't, but possible candidate" category. ^^ Gonna fix that, thanks for pointing that out.

Rathar Dashing1 votes

No problem.

Caretaker Jack1 votes

I agree... Like, come on people! Haven't yall ever played Persona???

Chembaron Yamada2 votes

Hell yeah, exactly.

Caretaker Jack1 votes

Right?? I'm drooling at the thought! And she could really use a good quality skin...

General Matty1 votes

Obviously we need Nunu and Taric.

Rathar Dashing1 votes

Nunu yes, Taric not so much.
