RIOT, Can We Get a Zac Skin? It's been 2 years

ßeerus·5/28/2017, 9:30:51 AM·27 votes·8,272 views

Now let's talk about Zac Skins, can we talk about Zac Skins? I've been dying to talk about Zac Skins all day

Why is it that Zac is so neglected in the Skin department when he's such a perfect candidate for so many possible skins? It took 2 Years for him to get his first non-release skin, and the Chroma they gave him consists of 2 colors which are practically the same (Orange and Yellow)

Just quickly thinking up Zac skins, there are so many good ideas. Tar Zac, Magma Zac, Cloud Zac, Candy/Ice Cream Zac, and that's just off the top of my head. Past that, so many people have put forth so many good ideas for Zac Skins, and they continue to do nothing.

Ontop of his lack of skins, even his Chroma is severely lacking. Why does something like Officer Vi get 6 different color combination choices, but all we get for the Zac chroma is 3, basically 2, choices? He's one single color, was it really too much effort to give us a few more Hue options? http://apollo-na-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/1422293329114/Zaccolours.jpg

Even with all these amazing ideas and community support, Riot for some reason keeps ignoring their champion with the most creative Skin potential to make sure champions like Master Yi and Caitlyn get their 4th-5th Sci-fi skin...

Yorick : What's a skin?

Riot says they have a very hard time doing Zac skins because of the way his character is. The goop effect takes a lot of work to do right and that's why we rarely get a skin for him. They had a lot better of an explanation than that, but that's about the gist of it. It's been years since I read that so my memory is foggy.

I like most of these. Space Zac reminds me of: https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/6127/187806-earthwormjim.jpg

Snow, molten, and sand are the best imo. Some great concepts here.

They aren't. Champions like Him and Zyra take extra time as making a skin for them is basically making a new champion cause they have so much to work with. He'll get one soon enough, we just have to wait a bit longer.

Twitch 7 skins all but two are legacy.(my main) Swain dont need to explain. AurelionSol Elise Camille Kindred Kled

do i need to go on? every single character is neglected in some form or way. those listed above are characters who generally just have 3 skins or less..or an outstanding supply of legacy skins. that make no since. I'm sure i missed a few. saying I'm an idiot for making a point with a character that is neglected in her own way is but since you want to act like that. what makes zac so special against all the other ..how many is it? 136 champions in the game?

I'm not trying to troll here. not at all. I'm just trying to make a point every day i see post about people literally shit facing or talking trash or begging for skins for the champions they wanna see crap form. the count for champions is 136...it takes time for things to go threw. and with these constant leaks...do you know what happens!?...do you? with leaks. that get shown and removed. things process since all sorts of crap goes down after that. skins get names changed or they just get scrapped. champions as well i wouldn't be surprised if right now there is a desk filled with scrapped zac skins because someone couldn't keep their mouth shut. process everything not just one thing.

They r all really awesome, I like the cosmic Zac the most!

Haedrig4/2/2019, 7:42:23 PM1 votes

I play zac a lot too skins that i came up with was like a guardian of the sands skin where he is made of sand and he has a pharaoh's headdress that is included into his ult as some nice golden corner pieces and for his recall he summons a pyramid and sort of breaks off the top piece and them puts his foot through it and roars or something while a sort of mini sand storm forms around him. Another one was just a simple battle boss or arcade skin where he is made of blocks, i didn't really think of some animations for that i will leave it to riot for that but for his recall he turns into an arcade pong and his head is the top part and there's 2 platforms playing pong and his eyes follow the ball i thought that was pretty cool. I also really thought a cosmic skin would look really nice on him because he has the potential to look really aesthetic from just looking at him walk i really want a skin for zac please rito

The problem I have with Zac's current skins, and with a lot of the concepts here, is that they are so close to his original skin - just some small variations for his head, and some new colours. I would like something more, like what you get with the Space / Agumented Zac. Cosmic Zac is extremely boring. It is basically his Special Weapon Zac skin with cosmic effects instead of his purple colour. I want Riot to do something unique and different. I dislike when a champion has several skins that are similar in style.

What I can tell you is that Zac's champ and stretchy tech is very difficult to work with, and that alone increases work time on him a lot. So using a popular community skin suggestion for him, Gentleman Zac - his clothes especially around his arms would have some crazy weighting and stretching issues. And it would also be really weird to see cloth stretching and turning into globs of goo haha I'd love to hear any suggestions on workarounds you may have to mitigate this!

I know "easy" recolored skins have been suggested for Mr. Blob, but then it would seem unfair if say we released a 750RP Bubblegum Zac and have him wait a while for another skin instead of taking the time to make sure we make a super awesome blow-your-mind quality skin for him.

GreenLore5/29/2017, 9:46:06 AM1 votes

Honestly I think they only gave him 3 chromas,because his skins will always look a bit like chromas.

I mean if they ever gave him a yellow skin,then it'd look a lot like his yellow chroma regardless of what they do with it.

Anyway,Riot said that they are going to focus a bit more on champs who didn't get a skin in a long time.
