Headhunter Sion

A lot of controversy seems to be surrounding Sion and his update regarding the lack of a Traditional Skin. Fans' arguments:

  1. Old Sion and new Sion look nothing alike, and the goofy old model had its charm.
  2. The old Ahnold VO was hilarious. Riot's arguments:
  3. New Sion is a less goofy take on the same theme as old Sion
  4. The old VO is too short to fit the new VO tech on new Sion

What I think could be a possibility down the line would be a new, possibly Legendary, skin: Headhunter Sion (or Headhunted Sion?). The Headhunter skin theme is a very loose reference to the movie Predator and is characterized by torn materials and animal bones/pelts. This skin theme could work to bring back a lot of the things old Sion had that new Sion didn't:

  1. Elephant skull shoulders
  2. Dirty skin (mud camo maybe?)
  3. Elephant feet
  4. An expanded Shwarzenegger-inspired VO

Let me know what you think. Would this be a good middle ground? Would this be a concept anyone would want to iterate on or discuss more? Will the community not be satisfied unless they get a free skin? Feel free to comment whatever you want.

That's actually a really good idea. Pays homage to his old Ahnold self, and even fits the theme. I don't thin there's a tank Headhunter yet, is there?
