Hello everyone! This is my first time ever posting a thread here so I hope we can help spread the love to Taliyah and get her a skin soon in the future this season!
To start things off I should probably talk about where the idea originally came in mind to me and why Academy Taliyah would be a nice addition to the Academy skin series. It all began when me and my friends were just playing a game of League and we were in the champ select screen. During this time I had no idea what to choose and I was about to lock in Taliyah but instead I scrolled by Ahri and locked her in and saw her Academy skin. When I was looking at Ahri's Academy skin, it came in mind to me that I was questioning "Hmm... I wonder if Taliyah got an Academy skin." and then it lead to me just talking about it the whole entire game. The reason why I find it be a nice addition to the Academy series is because it's actually one of my favorite series and Taliyah is one my favorite mid laners so seeing her just throwing text books at people is just amusing to see.
As far as the design goes here, (again shout outs to @ZeOcelot on twitter for the concept art) I can imagine Taliyah wearing glasses with her school uniform (Kind of like Ahri's Uniform but maybe a different design) and with her unique type of scarf kind of like Vladimir's and she would have some unique quotes relevant to the skin she is using, for example she would say like, "Get educated!" or something when ever she kills someone. Her hair color can be what ever but I can kind of think of Taliyah being a book work who usually reads by herself at a table so she can possibly have brown hair with a dyed highlight some where on her hair (If you have any ideas about her design then feel free to share them!).
And as far as her spell designs woud look, this is what I also had in mind.
Her Q would basically be her throwing/shooting out books/textbooks.
Her W would be a bookshelf or something you would find at school just knocking up the enemies/minions. (Haven't thought of any good ones for her W)
Her E would be a bunch of books/textbooks laying on the floor and when an enemy runs through it then the book's pages just scatter every where due to it being ripped because an enemy dash through it.
And finally her R would be her riding on a chair or something to her a destined location while a bunch of bookshelfs topple down and follow her. (Also not very sure what she could ride along her wall)
But that's about it! Feel free to share some ideas and hopefully we can get in Academy Taliyah in the near future! ^ ^)
