Definitely not Sona, and Definitely not Jinx

The only 2 champs with blue hair and both have big tails, it would be really cool if they had a skin where they looked like each other, and it would make the best duo bot ever :D they could wear each others hairstyle and clothes :)

Cool pic and idea,but it would be hella confusing if the girl that looks like jinx is suddenly the support,while the sona-look-alike is the adc.

idk, they would still probably be characterized by their weapons.

It could still cause a lot of confusion in the midst of battle,especially when they are running close to each other. There is a reason why most skins stick to the basic shape of a champ(why jinx has these pigtails or something similar in each skin)

It wouldnt be too hard to make them look different enough for game clarity, like they could keep there hair styles or something like that.

no... they would have each others hairstyles, but sonas has her yellow tips still, and jinx has her full blue still, just jinx with normal pig tails, and sona with hers in braids, and keep in mine, they would have the same character stances and weapons etc... and jinx's costume version of sonas would be more of a short mini dress version because jinx wont wear flowy dresses, and sonas hair floats, and you can hear and see the weaons etc... and their voices.

I know that would be ideal, I was not saying that was the only solution, I was merely saying If gameplay clarity would turn out to be a problem, it would not be to hard to fix. I was using the hairstyles as an example of something that if absolutely necessary could be reverted in order to make these skins a reality.

Silhouettes (the shape a character makes by their overall shape and outline) are the most important design element for gameplay clarity.

In the thick of a frantic battle there isn't time for the brain to process which champion is which by voice or color palette or clothing. The quickest way for the eye to determine which character is which is by their general shape. That's why TF has his big hat, why Nautlus has his anchor slung over his shoulder, and that's why Jinx has thin whip-like ponytails while Sona has long flowing ones.

Even if they used each other's color palettes, Jinx running around with Sona's flowing ponytails Sona running around with Jin'x long thin braids would cause a lot of confusion in the thick of battle. You'd have everyone dumping their kill power onto the support, not by baiting or outplaying or out-strategizing the enemy team, but because the critical design elements that visually separate them have been flip-flopped.

I think the ethwal and the guns make amuch larger part of the siluette, so that the pigtails wouldn't be an issue.

It's all a cohesive thing. Lose one part and it affects visual recognition of the whole ensemble.

dunno I don't see an issue with DJ Sona and that is a big change, compared to her regular look.

orrrrr, you can think harder and realize sona floats has a huge ehtwal and her hair floats, and jinx stands in a specific position and her hair falls down her back... if someone is not smart enough to tell the difference just because of a skin it would be pretty pathetic... sorry not sorry

A character's silhouette is recognizable as a sort of mental muscle memory. You don't think about it it just snaps in the moment. Losing a significant part of that silhouette, like changing a visually distinctive hair style, breaks it.

Also, good luck "thinking harder" when a chaotic teamfight is happening and you have a quarter of a second to target your ultimate on an enemy.

I agree, but there is already precedent for this.

Riot is really picky about readability.

Well Sona does have a big music instrument floating around her.

I would actually pay for that. And you people saying it would be bad for clarity, if you actually look at the screen you will tell the difference.

wasnt Jinx and Sona orphans? thats suspicious*[zombie-brand-mindblown]*

Nice work, but I personally prefer Jinx pretending to be Vi, Vi pretending to be Caitlyn, and I guess Caitlyn being stuck with Jinx's clothes.

.... and I guess Caitlyn being stuck with Jinx's clothes.

Get your mind out of the gutter.

Jinx already has taunts where she pretends to be Vi, and Vi already has taunts where she pretends to be Caitlyn. That's my reasoning for why that trio works better for this type of skin line.

I love the look of their different personalities, but poor Sona does not look happy in Jinx's street-punk gear. XD

That Jinx looks so cute

Embertine1 votes

Yes please! lol

It's a cute and appealing skin idea for sure.

Don't really seeing it happen, Jinx's outfit isn't really made for Sona. Saying she would fill it out is an understatement.

While I think the idea is cool, the Definetley not skin line is supposed to be more of a comedy skin line based on what the ORIGINAL CHAMPION looks like. That is why Udyr Udyr UdyrUdyrUdyr works so well with it, since he goes into onezees of his animals.
