Zed! A new skin for him!

GoodGuyZed1337··3 votes·4,740 views

So what about the Zed rework/retexure? I mean, he's older than Zac and Zac get's four skins. Come on.. WE Have waited LONG enough for a Zed retexure and a new skin for him. I just watched Big Hero 6 and "Wasabi" Had kinda like Zed's daggers/Swords And "Gogo" Had her Circle Flat rings that looks like Zed's Q, MAYBE you can Take THAT Q Model and do SOMETHING about it, because i was thinking of that when i was done watching the movie. BUT WAIT! Theres more! I saw "The guy in the MASK" Had a Zed like mask and i thought you guy's could fix that. For me, and MANY Other players THAT wouldve been awesome. Oh yeah, if that Zed chroma pack comes out, Make sure to give his animations some VFX Change, like his E "Shadow Slash" > Shows a red/crimson VFX On the lightning when he spins. And his W VFX Could be a Darkish/Crimson Shadow. Just my thoughts about it. Sorry for the English. Im from EUW And i live in Sweden, this is just my NA Account so i could play with my friends ^^ PLEASE Riot. THINK About this IDEA for ONCE. And im done here, names Robin. c: Oh yeah, im also a Zed main.

Please not a bat...or anything ghost/Harrowing related matter...seriously please. Consider the following:

Sushi Chef Zed (No taste is forbidden, Secrets kept are recipes wasted) The artwork would be working side by side with Tahm Kench and his shadows at another station.

Dive Master Zed (Scuba/Aquatic theme with propellers for shuriken, No depth is forbidden)

Noob Zed Bot (Noob Sai bot/ Project: Zed)

DJ Zed/ Mix Master Zed (http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/v9tR1EzE-original-skin-mix-master-zed)

Food for thought.

Zed doesnt need a rework, but he definitely needs a new skin, a rioter brought it up not saying anything official but sometimes they have certain themes for skins to be released at appropriate times so a zed skin could be done by now for all we know and there just waiting for the right time to release it

I've said something similar to what TotemBuffalo mentioned above.

There are instances where we have a skin in development, but we don't release it until an event, or a particular time of year.

For example, Pool Party Zac was something we absolutely wanted to do, but didn't want to release him without the other Pool Party skins. In addition, we wanted to time the release of these skins with summer, since that's the best time to have a Pool Party! :D

Let's say we had some kind of Harrowing-themed Zed skin. (He's a bat? I don't know - let's just roll with it). Zed wouldn't see another skin until Harrowing (October) because that would be the most appropriate time to release said skin.

While we may not have announced a brand new Zed skin, we have announced chromas for Shockblade Zed.

Just a quick quetion, will there be any VFX Change in his chroma pack? If so it would be REALLY awesome. But there are quite some custom skins for Zed that look like theyre made by you guys, For example "Mecha Zed" The animation of it was like made from your animations. Anyways, about Zed. I've mained him since early 2014, I've used Shockblade quite a long time and the SKT one aswell, BUT you could atleast retexure him a bit, He's old, but when i heard the chromas were coming for him i got excited. ^^ But im thankful for that you show him some love for once ;_;

There's been discussion around the shadows, but nothing has been decided upon.

There are some really cool concepts for Zed out there - we actually keep a collection of fan concepts!

At the moment, we don't have plans to re-texture Zed or any of his skins.

Well can there be any VFX Change in Zeds chroma pack? :o

Riotmoonstones3 votes

Speaking for chromas as a whole, generally, no, but we’re looking into this with some champions and skins where it makes the most sense. Again, we haven't settled on which ones, including Zed.

GoodGuyZed13371 votes

Well atleast we know now, i really do hope for a VFX Change tho, but eh, thats you'r decision, it would be really cool, but aslong as i know and alot of other people know that THERE will be a new Zed skin, were fine with it ^^ summoner 4 LATER

Zétto1 votes

Yeah but i mean like for example Bard's chroma pack, the green skin, his ult is like limegreen, instead of Gold Zed's Purple skin has a violet VFX Change, things like that, for special champions with special VFX skins.

Just thought about it

Thank you for your answer !

By the way, I remember that there was no ultimate skin in 2014 because dj sona took lot of time to make, will there be any compensation for that ? I mean can we except a ultimate skin soon or we will have to wait one year again to get the next ?

And please just give us a HINT for next zed skin please :) Uncle Zed

Riotmoonstones1 votes

We've made no promises that we'd make one ultimate skin a year, which means there won't be compensation. We haven't announced anything regarding another ultimate skin.

When it comes to ultimate skins, we really want to push the boundaries of what we can do with a skin, and really give players a new experience. This means we'll take the time we need to make sure the content is awesome - I think DJ Sona is a good example of that! :]

No dice on Zed skin hints, sorry! :P

Zac has 3 skins for the record (counting the base) :P

Also, it's hard to beat shockblade zed! Not sure if riot can make a better skin here. I really want to see what they'll make, though...
