New skin proposal - Earl Olaf
Hello to Riot games!
I am writing to You with a proposal for a new skin, which - as I modestly think - you definitely must not miss in your repertoire - Earl Olaf.
To briefly introduce myself - I am an enthusiastic League of Legends player since the end of the beta version with great fondness for nordic mythology and culture in general. No surprise then, that my favorite character is Olaf - the berserker. (And I believe that the us is a lot.)
Due to the fact that Sejuani is the chief of the tribe of Winter's claw, and has a lot of work with preparing the war against the current rulers of Frejlord, she could Olaf appoint the Earl of Lokfar, from which also Olaf comes from.
A little something from history
I don't like that Olaf is on all his skins depicted with a horned helmet. The problem is that this historical consensus has no real evidence. Among other things, this topic of Robert Frank in his work "the Invention of the viking horned helmet". Highlights in it, that is the mythical idea was born when in the preparation of operatic saga der Ring des nibelungen by the composer Richard Wagner. The helmet on the head of the singers put on in 1876 a costume designer Carl Emil Doepler. Due to the then popularity of the opera and, in particular, and the nordic sagas is not surprising that the idea spread gradually throughout Europe and beyond its borders.
Notes to the skin itself:
In this skin Olaf do not have a helmet at all, instead, he should have a classic hair cut and beard, which we know for example from the series of Vikings. https://dribbble.com/shots/5342369-Illustration-process-of-Ragnar-Lothbrok (Please, don't forget the tattoo on the head - play with details.)
Wearing a classic leather shirt, with a bear fur over his shoulders, pants and shoes. https://es.3dexport.com/3dmodel-viking-95743.htm ( bear fur over his shoulder like this https://crewsbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/https-_blogs-images.forbes.com_erikkain_files_2019_01_Vikings-16-3.jpg )

Dabing with new phrases, quotes - It's a viking, he should believe in Valhalla. Whether it's a fictional world in Runeterra or not, it is still a viking. Therefore, you could add any phrase containing the Valhalla. For example, the classic ,,Victory or Valhalla!" You can use something like ,,Everyone will know the name of Olaf!" too. Respawn quote: ,,We live to fight another day!" Dying quote: ,,What a honorable death, arrgh!"
Skin could be epic. Absence of helmets and position - Earl - is more than convenient. Olaf would, like any true viking, hungering for the power - ambition to be king of whole Freljord one day.
I believe that us - fans of viking´s culture - are many here. Therefore, I also believe that my proposal you will support.
Hail, Earl Olaf!
