  • Why Ahri?
  • Why this skin has such a great potential?
  • Why 1820 RP?
  • Skin Idea;
  • Extras;

-WHY AHRI? As an Ahri main I always wondered why did she never had an Legendary Skin (1820 RP) if she is so popular and iconic. I know that Ahri recently got an 1350 RP skin (Arcade theme) but since Faker chose Ahri for the SKT T1 Skins (at least for what I know) I believe that a high quality skin after this one would be great.

-WHY THIS SKIN HAS SUCH A GREAT POTENTIAL? As we all know Soulstealer theme is a successful theme and we are (almost) sure that Riot will continue to design new skins for this theme. For now we have Soulstealer Vladimir (1350 RP) and Soulstealer Vayne (10 Gem Stones). This theme fitted Vladimir so well because he was originally a Blood Stealer.

( Before continuing if you don't know Ahri lore you can read it on Riot's official website: http://gameinfo.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/ahri/ )

When Ahri was released a rioter called her a ''Passive Soul Stealer''. As we can see Riot oftenly make skins related to lore:

_Lore about the past: _ -Pharaoh Amumu (resembles Amumu when he was a Pharaoh); -Pre-Void Kassadin (resembles Kassadin before being corrupted by the Void); -Human Ryze (resembles Ryze when he was young and wasn't affected by the World Runes Power);

Lore about what could happen if... :

 -Creator Viktor (resembles Viktor if he actually made his army with the Hex crystal that Jayce destroyed);
 -Freljord Taliyah (resembles the time when she traveled through Freljord before arriving at Shurima);
 -All Justicar Skins and Arclight;

(And Many Many more...)

But there is not a single skin about Ahri's Past.

  • How was Ahri if she never actually started to feel the same emotions that Man's have?
  • How dangerous was Ahri back when she was thirsty for Souls to become more Human?

All of this could be answered by making a SoulStealer Ahri Skin.

-WHY 1820 RP?

Ahri has no Legendary nor Ultimate Skins and she is way too popular and iconic to not have one. Since Legendary skins and Ultimate Skins can transmit in a very efficient way the true concept and the idea for the skin I believe it was fair enough to give her this 1820 Master Piece. Also, Ahri is often used as an SUPER KAWAII (glitter everywhere) girl or to make references to something (Dynasty Ahri Dance and Clothes/Fox Fire-web browser reference/Popstar-Kpop/Challenger-Marking the begining of the season/Academy GLITTER ALERT/Arcade-Retro Games)

I am not saying the skins are bad or saying they mustn't have references (it's so cool to see references) but Ahri needs something to make her show her Evil side. She is not always the Super POP STAR Queen.

-SKIN IDEA

(I want to apologise for the low quality image to show my intention since I am pretty damn bad drawing / I will post some characters and images on the end of the Post)

(I don't made a super clear description because I am sure if Riot want's to make this skin their ideas will be way better than mine)

_Some extras I was thinking about: _ -What if Ahri levitates? -What if her cape is something like Yorick's cape?

-EXTRAS

To All Rioters, if you read all of this then PLEASE let me know even if you didn't think this is any special or something just PLEASE, this took me so long to think about!! <3

If you enjoyed this Skin Please UPVOTE if you don't liked the skin then feel free to DOWNVOTE. Comment, Ask me questions and many more in the comments,

Thank you All Have a Nice Day! Ahri [slayer-jinx-wink]

that would make for such a wicked halloween skin <3 i think my soul was already stolen

You may be unaware, but her original designed passive was supposed to be named "Soul Eater". Had conflict with Nasus, so was changed to essence theft.

She doesn't steal souls, she feasts on them. Which creates conflict, that isn't spoken about, with thresh. Since he harvests souls in his lantern to torment them. The only thing, I doubt thresh cares who falls victim to Ahri's mind control, unless they are the individuals he wants. The difference between Thresh and Ahri, Ahri feasts on souls to be eternal. Originally, it was making her human, which brought a sense of morality which she couldn't continue doing. Because her human side I guess is a good person. Her fox side clearly is more instinctual and cruel. Since animals who are carnivorous that's in their nature. She's conflicted. Unlike thresh, he thrives on finding the perfect victims for eternal torment until their will and hope is broken. I'm not sure if he is capable of giving souls back to bodies. A body without a soul would basically be a vegetable? But even if he were capable of doing so. I doubt he would. Especially in the particular case of Lucian and his wife.

Getting off topic, but I honestly thought a shadow isles skin would fit Ahri. Because she has a dark side. Just recently its been a lot of kawaii weaboo skins that tend to focus on her cute side. But like you, there are Ahri players who like her darker side.

That's what I feel make her so interesting, she is factionless(meaning she belongs to no group of individuals), she lives her own life has her own agenda. She isn't apart of lissandra's plan to bury the world in ice, she doesn't adhere to the rules of humans( like Leblanc's Black rose or lux's Demacia) or anything living or dead, other worldly. She is an anomoly of unexplainable power that was given to her from a successor who was dieying from a huge fight, in which the unnammed successor obliterated an unmentioned amount of men. Funny thing is I'm sure the successor could've healed his wounds off Ahri, but instead gave his/her power to Ahri. Which she clearly uses to perfection, since in her new lore she is capable of taking down a whole squad of men. Alone.

But regardless of lore, skins provide universe ideas. Where champions who don't particularly fit into a story are made into one. Like vayne is bent to seek out and expel dark magic, creatures from the abyss. She was given a soul stealer skin. I don't see why Ahri couldn't get a soul eater skin.

But her legendary skin is this? I don't see it. Arcade Ahri is legendary tier, even popstar Ahri is up there. Skin could be another 1350? Because her legendary skin could be far greater. For another discussion. But I still like this idea. Clearly a few others do too.

The only thing that bothers me is a cape? Maybe a cloak is more fitting since she has nine tails. And the random weapon? Her weapon is her power of mass destruction, infinite self sustain and mind control. With those at her disposal I doubt she would even consider that weapon, if she were to wield one at all. Sure I control fire, but let me cut you with this here Axe. Lmfao pls no. I can't xD Sorry for long response. Zzz
