New skins ideas including a new idea for a Versus event.
To those who read this, and to Riot Games and League of Legends: So, I have been thinking about this, and I have noticed Karthus doesn't have an epic skin (1350 RP). So, after giving it some thought, I have thought of a potential epic skin for Karthus, called something probably like Storm Karthus. I have already thought of how the abilities work, so I am excited to share my idea.
Karthus himself looks like a windstorm, maybe a living tornado kind of concept with glowing eyes. His Q creates a small little wind cycle, with a couple of leaves and such blowing around in it. His W creates a wall of rain. His E, when active, creates a little blizzard that is flowing around him. And for Karthus's Ult, he summons down lightning bolts on the enemy team.
I have also given some thought to more Swain skins.... as Swain already has 2 skins where he uses red energy, one with green, one with blue, and one with orange energy, I was hoping Riot could add a purple energy and a yellow energy Swain as well. I was thinking maybe an Arclight or a Justicar Swain for yellow energy, and a Dark Star or a Void Swain for purple energy. Might that work...?
For the idea for a new Versus event, I know it is kind of a far-fetch, but I was thinking a Talon vs. Zed event? To me, they seem kinda balanced toward each other, and in my eyes, I have always seen them as rivals, so I thought they might work well in a versus event! If the previously kept ideas of light vs. dark ideas were to be kept, I would think of Zed being made the darker force, and Talon the more light-guided force. Zed could have a skin similar to the concept of the Dark Star Series, except he would be called Dark Nova Zed, as that is a form of energy often seen more destructive than a regular star in space. I feel like making a Dark Star kinda skin for Zed might be a little fun: The real Zed, by which I mean the physical one, not the shadow clones, could be kinda armored like Dark Star Cho'gath after he has eaten quite a few units, and his face would either be more humanoid like Dark Star Jarvan's, or conceptual, like the glowing star for Dark Star Kha'zix skin. His shadows, however, would be kind of like a crack in reality, like the hole the Rift Herald makes when it is summoned by a champion- a purple stationary background, speckled with stars, that changes position when your champion moves, so it looks like you are looking through out space while it is moving. I feel like the X in the ult of the basic skin of Zed could be replaced by something like the Dark Star hand as seen in the ward, or as seen in Cho'gath's ctrl+1 taunt, and the blades that Zed and his shadows throw look like the "eye", so to speak, of Dark star Kha'zix- a star of dark energy. With Talon, I feel like his contrast to the shadow overcast by Dark Nova Zed would make his abilities seem quite unique. I feel that a righteous Talon would be appropriately called Arc Nova Talon. Kind of a yellow-ish color, I feel like he should seem similar in appearance, though not in size, to Arclight Yorick, with a yellow energy cape/ cloak, a righteous face, and clean yellow and white armor and garments. The blade he has on one of his arms would be opposite to that which Kassadin bears- Arc Nova Talon's kind-of sword would be a beam a piercing bright light. Whenever Arc Nova Talon uses his E to jump over walls, instead of doing a summersault or parkour flip over the wall, his cape/ cloak would shape into slightly less translucent "angel" wings still "holy" yellow like the cape/ cloak, and he would leap over the wall in a very dignified and "holy" manner. With Talon's throwing blades, at first when sent out, they would be like beams of light, and when they reach the peak of their reach upon which they transform, they would transform into glorious tiny golden-yellow stars, opposite in essence, of the blades that Dark Nova Zed throws. And for Talon's ult, where he goes invisible and speeds up, when he goes invisible, he pulls out his wings and a Arclight-type halo appears above his head, kind of like what the reworked Aatrox looks like when he ults, (only visible to teammates and enemies who can penetrate the invisibility, of course) to speed him up as he prepares to ambush an enemy with his mass of penetrating star/shuriken/blades, which were sent out as described before. Oh, something I forgot to add earlier, for Dark Nova Zed's recall, he would create a rip in the fabric of space with a blast of Dark Star energy, then he would go through and come out at the nexus. For Arc Nova Talon, in his recall he would gain his wings and his Arclight halo, and a beam of light would come down on him, kind of like Justicar Aatrox, except Talon would soar up through the beam of light, whereas Justicar Aatrox floated up through the light. I sincerely hope you (Riot Games and League of Legends) would consider my thoughts, as I enjoyed making them. Good luck on your hopefully many years to come of League of Legends, and I look forward to seeing more wonderful and amazing ideas and changes to League of Legends in the future. Thank you
