Not made by me, but I wanted to share this in case someone hasn't seen this before. Damn, it looks so nice.

EDIT: Since I only just found out that all Project skins are for human based characters, I assume this skin would be more like an Arcade Aurelion Sol.

Oh please. Lux will get an Aurelion Sol skin before Aurelion Sol gets a skin himself.

ASol is getting a skin this year.

BLIGHTBRINGER2 votes

I imagine it's gonna be the last skin of this year, considering we have no information about it or any other skins that were promised to appear at some point.

Yes. Thats what they maybe is for. It was a joke.

Velzard of Koz1 votes

She was listed among the champions that need skins as a joke. Followed by "maybe" by the speaker afterwards. Because she is popular I wouldn't be surprised If she got another one like she would get any other year, but when it comes to the list, she was there as joke by Rioters.

No, Pool Party Zoe was a teaser and wasn't part of the list.

Then let's just make it Arcade. And when he fires across the map, he can have a rainbow trail behind him!

does it change that its fucking cool? Personally I don't think so.

Project is humanoid only sadly.

Dis looks pretty.

(Also Asol skin this year)

Jaspers2 votes

There's no reason why Sol can't get 2 this year, plenty of Champs do get that, Jhin got 3.

Also, who says Project is only for humanoid? Just because so far they have been? Wouldn't that just be restricting revenue sources for Riot? Any champ can fit any theme, they just have to put in work to think how and considering this community does quite alot, there is no reason Riot can't also. As long as the skin is good enough.

Echo612 votes

No. I dont know why everyone thinks ANY champ could get a PROJECT: Skin. Theres literally a whole thing about how they are separate.

PROJECT: is for "Humans" or "Augmented Humans" made to fight the BATTLECAST

MECHA: is for Humanoid Monsters or Creatures. Built by the Yordles to defend against BATTLECAST

BATTLECAST (The Evolution): Are Creatures designed by Creator Viktor to enslave the world and forcefully "Evolve" it

My gues swould be Asol either getting some sort of Dark Star, Star Guardian, or maybe an Arcade skin, but as for the 3 listed above, BATTLECAST would probably have the most chance.

PROJECT is separate from Battlecast.

Mecha is separate from Battlecast.

Resistance and Battlecast share the same universe.

Thank you for the other post below, btw, never read that before.

I did hear that Programme and Project were the same universe.

My main point is the idea that there are people out there with money to spend on skins and Riot limiting themselves because of a 'fiction' made up to sell skins.

Well, they're not really limiting themselves. Each of the themes are technological, and each of them fit fairly well with their champions.

Zed is a cyborg ninja, not unlike Raiden from Metal Gear or... shudders G-G-Genji.

He's sleek and fast and crippling, much like the designs of his blades and particles.

Battlecast Urgot is... something. Not unlike the Metal Gear Rex or ZEKE.

He's heavy, packs a punch, and is essentially a one-man/tank/monster-army. His particles are fiery like Hell itself, with the sounds of pumps and machinery.

Program Camille is a Hunter AI. In hindsight, she fits better into PROJECT than Program, but whatever. Same applies to her as Zed.

Mecha Zero Sion is a giant war machine of metal and... whatever that blue energy shit is.

He's bulky, titanic, and could probably level Manhattan in about a few days (based on his in-game size). If we're going by his lore-form, which the Login Screen encapsulated so well, he could probably level Manhattan in half a day. The high-tech whirring and corrupted-sounding VO perfectly match up with this idea of a Renegade Mecha. The Prototype, if you will.

Each of these skin lines has a central idea to them.

PROJECT, having humans-- strictly humans-- as the base for their skins.

Battlecast, having monstrosities, or all-out supernatural beings, regardless of anatomy.

Program... I don't really know. They seem to be geared more towards the magical-champions (mainly those with SOME level of humanoid shape), including Hextech-powered ones it seems. Expect a Program Orianna coming SoonTM.

Mecha is larger humanoid beings, mostly a few feet taller than the average human. The current champions also seem to be very... bloodthirsty and violent.

ASol could fit in Battlecast or Eternum, which doesn't have a specific central idea to it. I mean, the only thing it has going for it is the fact that all the current champions have tails, hence why there's no Eternum Zed (that'd look hype af tho) or Eternum Ryze (also hype af).

Personally, I think Eternum would be a better fit, as both ASol and the Eternum creatures are alien in origin and nature. Tho, frankly, I don't know how I feel about ASol getting a second skin as a red/reddish one, as we already have Ashen Lord (which also has fiery effects).

So there's really, a large majority of techno-skins that champions can fall into. Excluding a few like Hextech, Super Galaxy,

Anivia Maokai Warwick -Battlecast

Ahri Annie Azir Brand Evelynn Fiddlesticks Fizz Illaoi (honestly a better fit than Battlecast smh) Ivern Janna Karma Kassadin (he can go with either PROJ or Prog) Leblanc Lux Malzahar Mordekaiser Morgana Orianna Ryze Swain Syndra Thresh Varus (once again, a good PROJECT pick as well),Vladimir, Yorick Zilean Zyra: Program

Akali Ezreal Irelia JarvanIV Jax Jinx Kaisa Kassadin Kayn LeeSin Pantheon Talon Varus XinZhao: PROJECT

Nautilus Nasus Volibear Zac: Mecha

Braum Corki Garen Graves Sivir: Resistance

So on and so forth. There are a lot of champions who could fit into other techno-skins aside from these four. Lancer Warrior Pantheon, Hextech ASol, Super Galaxy Quinn, etc.

Riot isn't limited in the slightest. Maybe they're limited to the STORIES they can tell, for example, we're missing out on a PROJECT Zed vs PROJECT Shen story now because Shen is Pulsefire, and so he's not a part of PROJECT's story. But speaking in terms of skins strictly, I'd argue that Riot has a large range of skins that can fit for any champion.

Didn't expect such a long thought out reply, nice one. I understand many of your points on thematic. You mention a few bits I'll comment on however.

Camille has Programme but you say she might have suited Project better, and she may well do but if that is the case, yet she has Programme, it means she's unlikely to ever get Project even though her players and fans would probably be very willing to spend money on it, heck Pulsefire would fit her even better (of course I'd say so would Mecha and Resistance).

Look at Vi's skins, her main has a 'pink' colour set right? Pink hair, trails of pink on her outfit, many of her skins are pink in main colour scheme too, yet she had a Warring Kingdoms which splashed green all over the place and Project which did yellow. All her skins different based on the theme without clashing in look and yet we still know it's Vi because of her gauntlet's and design.

Camille can do the same, just because she has a Programme, there is no reason a Project (aside from the narrative) couldn't work if they make it different enough as her identity is her design, not what colour scheme she currently has.

Same goes for Shen, in your last point, is it the case that now he has Pulsefire, he'll never get Project? He's perfect for it and I'm sure fans would part with their money for it too. This is what I mean by limiting their options.

But alas, with how hard Riot are working on skins, the amount of champs they have now, doing a skin for differing yet similar skin lines for certain champs won't be likely... except Yi, I think I heard he's getting a Programme, Pulsefire, Mecha and another Project this year.

Well, they obviously COULD do a PROJECT Shen and Camille, but Riot has never made two skins that overlap each other within the same universe. Altho Pulsefire isn't part of a specific universe, they can be in ANY universe. So if they visit PROJECT, it could technically count as an overlap.

Whether it's due to inflation in a certain theme (like technological, hence why Kog has Battlecast but Hextech is a Mythic Skin), or the aforementioned narrative view, Riot never has created two skins from the same universe/theme for a champion.

And I highly doubt Yi would be getting all that lmao. There'd be a massive uproar beyond anything the League community has ever seen.

Jaspers1 votes

It's not ANY champ could have a Project skin, it's any champ can have any skin if Riot decides it can.

Limiting only certain champs to their popular skin lines just hinders profits. If Riot think profits can be made by having a Project Ziggs, Brand, Janna, Malphite or whatever they want, they'll make it. Their issue comes from skins looking too similar not if the skin 'fits' the theme because ALL champs fit ALL themes.

#"In order to become PROJECT you have to surrender your humanity. The technology takes over your soul." ― Lisa 'Saiyaka' Thorn, Visual designer

"Artists decided to keep PROJECT skins people-sized, though the champions have fused and augmented their bodies using some big, crazy technology. 'In order to become PROJECT you have to surrender your humanity,' says Lisa 'Saiyaka' Thorn, a visual designer. 'The technology takes over your soul.'

PROJECT champs aren't just soulless husks, though. Little clues point to their human origin: Yasuo's leather glove, Leona's exposed jaw, Master Yi's wuju-sculpted washboard abs. These aren’t robots—they’re just seriously tricked out people."

"Ultimately, PROJECT is about transforming the “mere human” forms of champions using technology, and the shape language the artists used reflects that. 'When champs use their heightened PROJECT powers, it’s through shapes and geometry that fit their unique characteristics,' says Thorn."

very very cool, but Asol isnt human so he wouldnt be getting a PROJECT: skin, but maybe something of a similar line. If he gets one at all lol...... oh fk it lol, who r we kidding, ryze will get another rework before they give asol a skin xD

As of right now these are the robot/cyborg skins and how the champs in them are classified. (the only one with no real classification are chemtechs group and hextech) Project: humans Battlecast: non-human body shape with exception of creator viktor (Resistance skins not included) (Black) Mecha: large humanoid but not human characters Program: Human/ humanoid (includes IBlitzcrank)(white and teal) Lancer: Humanoid (if you count hecarim as humanoid) (sleak white -rouge) Hextech: Anything (bronze +electric Blue) Chemtech/ Bioforge/ Augmented: Humans (black and neon green) Eternum?: monsters/ non-human (bright red and Black) (Alien)

Actually, you might be right, Asol is getting a skin this year yes, but a Ryze mini-rework is under testing.

Could be project.

Envonyx2 votes

I can see that being an arcade skin

Stars Shaper2 votes

Really cool.

But if I have to take a robotic/high tech skin line I'd go with either:

  • Eternum (because all beastlike champions have got this).
  • Pulsefire (I like their aestetics more and I think it would be cool to have a weaponized dragon going rogue through the time lines).
  • Arcade (either as Secret Boss or Hyper Boss).
Sukishoo2 votes

I think Eternum would be a better theme for him though this does look pretty cool.

Now hear me out. What if we change the skin into a arcade skin? Think about. When he uses e a rainbow will follow him as he flys away like Hecarim and his arcade skin.

I have never seen a skin more beautiful than that. Riot also has to show sol some love, he has 1 skin and not many people play him. Project Aurelion sol is actually a really good idea, they should add that in lol

Maybe they could call it program Aurelion Sol or something, but idk if Arcane Aurelion Sol would be the best name

I think it would be cool to have a battle boss aurelion sol skin, where he looks like an old pixelated rpg dragon boss. His stars could look like old visual effect fire in those games, and his abilities could have a similar look. I know we just got a new set of battle boss skins but I still think it might suit him well.
