Aging annie (ultimate skin)

Next ultimate skin should be for annie, and every level, she grows up a little. Ive been told that she is about 8 years old, so start there, and every level add 1. Level 18 she would be 25? We can even have stages like when shes 6 she would be 13 so give her a goth stage (i know she has a goth skin but its just a skin no vo), but then 1 level later do a 180 and shes super sunshine girly. This skins thing that makes it ultimate over all other skins would be the dialogue. DJ sona has supposedly 3 hours of music. PF ez has the evolutions when he upgrades his ult, and SG udyr changes his skills when they are maxed. Annie in this case would have lots of quotes, because of the different lines and voices she would have over the years (levels).

If someone could submit some concept art that would be appreciated. A lot of people have assumed that this would be a sexual thing, but i am not looking for this. I did some thinking of exactly how i would change her with her looking recognizable, and i think the best way is her dress. Annies dress is something i associate with her, so keep this and tibbers (obviously). I dont need a picture of every level (age), maybe just level 6,11,16 (as this might be what the end result would come to. lots of people have said that having 18 models in one skin would be a lot of work, and i do agree, although i do think it is do-able). If you need an example of what i mean with her dress, look at queen ashe. It is the closest thing i can think of as to what i mean.

Unfortunately, I doubt they would be willing to do it. If they did, they would probably need to create a different skin texture/wireframe and appropriate animations for each level. In addition, each line would have to be recorded by several voice actors to properly reflect her current age.

Though, they might be willing to do several distinct ages for Annie. Perhaps 1-10 is child Annie, 11-15 is teen Annie, and 16-18 is adult Annie.

Sorry, but next ultimate skin should be Dragon Master Swain.

Annie's theme is being a little girl. Why the need for her to grow up? I think that's because you want to see teenager and adult annie. Why oh male one would you want that? Kind of disturbing.

Yorick needs a skin before annie gets yet another

Oh look, this completely original idea again.

Morello has already said somewhere (I'm not looking it up because lazy) that a Teen Annie would never happen. Stop asking for it.

I agree that I want to see Annie get a Ultimate Skin this year, but maybe not the growing up thing. I would be crzy happy to see what they came up with. Her win rate in LCS has been good for awhile now, she needs that skin baby :D

Wouldn't you actually be nerfing yourself by picking this skin that makes it easier for you to get hit by skillshots in the late-game?

I think it's better if she starts at 1 and levels up to 18, so the levels are easy to interpret. An actual baby form would be hilarious.

Also, with mathematical slider bars, they could model age "keyframes" where the overall geometry changes significantly and have smooth transitions in between. I'm sure it's a technical challenge, but it should be possible. Obviously this is ultimate skin territory here.

I had the same idea myself and Googled, and this was the most recent thread that came up. Teen Annie has been a fan favorite for a long time, but an actual 1-18 journey (or 8-25) doesn't come up as often.

I'm all down for it if you make annie an old lady.

Um. You mean make a new model/skin for each level, along with new VO for each stage, Animations, and particle effects etc.

Look neat idea but that would be well. Really fucking expensive to make.

I think the biggest problem with this idea would be readability at later levels. One thing Riot has to keep in mind with making skins is that they look like the original champion enough that it's easily recognized and there's minimal confusion. Changing Annie's model to the point where she ages would make it difficult to recognize the champion as Annie in the game.

Love the idea

I don't buy a lot of RP, but if they made this happen I would run to the store and buy some. Annie ...Katarina ...MissFortune ...Vi

Another problem... dialogue would have to change for each level (dunno if anybody else mentioned this, to lazy to read down :P) other than that, I love it

A good skin idea but a very difficult one to pull off. I hope Riot can get it done right.
