New skin - Xerath iron man

interface95·Jan 23, 2016·18 votes·4,121 views

Hello!

I play League of legends very often. I just LOVE to play xerath. At this time, my favourite skin is scorched earth Xerath. But I would realy love to see a new skin for this champion like Iron man skin. Would it be possible to make it? Champ skills are perfect to go with the skin.

Q - he shoots from the hand (beam of power) W - An attack from middle of his cheast E - shoots from his hand (ball of power) R - stretch out his hand and shoots mini rockets that land on the point where you aim.

(When he has 425 or more speed, he would put his hands like iron man and float/fly ower the surface) - Amaizing, amaizing, amaizing!!!

I don't see why would it be so hard to make it. Every one would love to buy this skin :D

That could be an amazing Legendary Skin, but like Best Kog NA said, copyright exists. Then again, Forsaken Jayce and Chosen Master Yi are based off the Star Wars franchise, so who knows.

Don't forget the Scorpion and Subzero skins for Shen, Hulk skin for Mundo and the Sesame Street skin for Nunu.

Yeah, I forgot about those.

I think the workaround is to have the main themes of these skins heavily influenced by the source material without actually copying. It sucks that copyrights are very strict and abusable, but at the same time it keeps the jackholes from basically just stealing other peoples work.

I want to see this too however.

Also the new skins on the P.B.E for Draven, Sejuani and Tryndamere are a based off of Monster Hunter. makes me sad I can only afford to get one skin at the moment :(

Bladerunner7777Jan 24, 20163 votes

Zinogre sejuani is the best one

So? "Iron/Metal Armor/Robot" is copyrighted?

I really hate when people blabber about things they know little off, especially when they talk about copyright as a dogma. References to a fictional character take little adjustment to trow off any reasonable copyright infringement claims.

The only problem would be copyrights D: But I would so buy that skin if it existed.

Well about copyright. Riot has a lot of money. I guess it would not be a problem to pay and get permission to make the skin (they would get money back from players who would buy this skin).
I think that Marvel would be glad to promote Iron man in a well-known game. So if Riot would want to try, I'm highly positive that they would succeed at getting permission :)

Pretty sure it's not just about getting permission but about how much effort it is and how it would change expectations within the community. Unlikely that this or any other copyrighted material will be made into a skin. :/

Plenty of copyrighted material has found its way to skins.

This is the time where you link us. Statements mean little to nothing without proof

mikemcpartyJan 24, 20161 votes

Look at my comments above. I don't feel the need to link you to the page with all of the champs and skins. You are a big boy, you can google it.

That's not how copyrights work. If they made an officially licensed skin, one of two things would happen: Disney would get all the profits from said skin, or Disney would get a large percentage of said skin, making it not a viable path for Riot to persue

This does bring up another idea though, robotic xerath. :3 As long as he doesn't bare a resemblance to iron ban it's fine. This piece is obviously iron man though. lol

GoblinGremlinJan 23, 20161 votes

so, to get around copyright...pulsefire xerath?

mikemcpartyJan 23, 20161 votes

Skins where Riot has ignored copyright in either the name or the skin design.

-Foxfire Ahri -Project skins seem to be based off of metal gear solid -Mecha skins are based off of the transformers -Shen has two skins based off of MK -Forsaken and Chosen skins from Star Wars -Mad Hatter Shaco -Super Teemo -Sherwood Forest Ashe

Missing any? Big idea here is that Riot has ignored copyrights in the past, so I don't buy the excuse that they have somehow changed their philosophy.

IGotScuttleCrabsJan 23, 20161 votes

King Rammus from Bowser As for Foxfire Ahri you also have: Explorer Ezreal (Internet Explorer) Chrome Rammus (Google Chrome) Safari Caitlyn (IOS Safari) There's also the TMNT Rammus skin Deadpool Kennen And many many more

Come to think of it, Rammus has a lot of "based off of" skins

mikemcpartyJan 24, 20161 votes

Thank you for the additions! Did not even think about the other internet based skins. Were they all released in the same cycle?

because of copyrights, i guess

i hear people in lcs want to use xerath but they're afraid of picking him because every game there is as laggy AF

we already have battlecast. everyone forgets about it, but we already have something that fills this theme, and no one wants it.

Ulquiorra995Jan 24, 20161 votes

Old Battlecast Xerath was pretty similar - it shared Iron Man's color scheme while also having blue energy body before they changed it.

As for copyright, they've already done plenty of references and keep on doing them (just look at new Frozen/Yellow Jacket Shen; they are clearly inspired by newer appearances of Sub Zero and Scorpion). Just name it something like "Full Metal Xerath" or "Pulsefire Xerath", tack a red-gold color scheme on it and you're good to go.

KaynoukyJan 25, 20161 votes

Xerath Pls Riot make this real ! Xerath has only skin who just change the color of its energy in this body and spells. It will be so cool if he receives a skin with a real and interesting concept !
