Have there been ideas on skins that replace the champ but have the same skills, Lucian and Senna?

So basically the skin would have the same exact skills as the champion the skin is over but it would be new voice over, different animations for how some of the skills are(Senna dashes differently or uses her Q different)?

I also thought of one with Yasuo where the other skin would be the past generation wind blade user?

Perhaps a Sion one where he doesn't have a different person, but him if he was alive with quotes before he killed the first Jarvan(or the 2nd, don't remember).

Maybe one with Diana and Leona where they basically "switch sides" in where Diana is the sun and Leona is the moon.

Thoughts on this kind of stuff? I remember seeing the Diana and Leona one but what do you guys think about this?

Riot has stated in the past that they strongly value character identity and making sure that when a player, whether new to the game or a long time player, see a skin they can identify the champion it belongs to easily.

That's why skin ideas rarely are so extreme that the champion becomes unrecognisable. What you're suggesting would definitely be cool, but it would make identifying the champion so difficult that they'd never do it.

I don't think Riot will create skins that completely contradict the lore, or what's left of it anyway.

I'm all for alternate reality skins, they really need to happen, ranging from gender swaps (what would a male Zyra be like? Or a female Ezreal?) to what ifs (like the Senna/Lucian skin ideas) to the time warp skins (Grown up Annie, Child Garen, Volibear as a cub?).

I would be surprised if they didn't or they plan on making Senna a champion in the future. Though a gender flipped version of a character might be interesting supposedly Blizzard is going to put out a Female Diablo in heroes of the storm but that rumor has been floating for a while.

What about a Lux skin if she was Noxus, and we can start going into the Demacia -> Noxus and Noxus -> Demacia skin line.

I honestly think this would be a great idea, make it a legendary skin, slap a price of 1350 over it and boom, instant money.

They could also make a line of Shurima ones with Pre-Assension Susan Nasus , Azir Azir , and maybe Renekton , but i dont think that would very well.

But i like the Senna idea the most, rito please!!!
