The Final Two... Marauder and Warden skin ideas

King Gromp·Oct 9, 2015·11 votes·3,194 views

So, after giving it a lot of thought (and trying to figure out who looks best) I narrowed it down to two final MIDLANE oriented champions to receive their Warden/Marauder skins... And here they are.

Marauder King Twisted Fate and Warden Lord Jayce

Some alternatives: Marauder King: Ryze Swain Talon (Queen) Diana Brand Syndra Azir

Warden Lord: Ryze Riven Malzahar Orianna Lux Bard

Thoughts?

Edit: Thanks to Justicar Reborn, NaZomLord, Xela Syab, and Kaltenashes for suggestions.

Those two would be amazing if they continue the series past five skins. With Riot's trend, though, I think they will just make skins for the five positions, so, if that is the case, Warden Jax and Marauder Olaf, unfortunately, seal the deal on the top lane position.

I will agree on that, especially since (after looking through some of the skin series) many only have four skins to a series. Many are just a mix of champions with no set positions in mind while others have an obvious trend on what positions each plays. An example of this is the most recent Academy series. Ahri and Ekko. Midlaners, minus Ekko being a popular jungler. Darius and Vlad. Toplaners, minus Vlad being a pocket midlane pick. If Riot does decide to continue the series, I seriously hope it's a support, or they toss that out the window and begin to slow, steady trend of making warden/Marauder skins for all champions.

waiting on new galio bard and tahm skin

Tahm is a bit too new and Bard will (in my honest opinion) receive a Christmas skin, he would fit that perfectly. Galeo, though. Galeo would also make a wonderful Warden skin.

They already said that they don't want yorick to exist until they rework him. Just be happy they don't just disable him til then or flat out delete him. They know he is nonexistant and are glad he is.

That is true, I had to reread her background, it is fairly dark. I was basing my opinion of her being a Warden concept is actually her base skin, the silver and gold, and thought that it fits her nicely. Again, that's just my opinion.

Well yes the base skins would work rather fine, but i do see that with the marauder skin she would gain the rather steelish and aggressive look to counter her usually elegant and smooth look, the warden skins wouldnt need to change much making her seem kinda reskinned for 520, but the Marauder can really let her death and torturous side that we a get glimpse of in Bladecraft.

I do love the Bladecraft skin, and yeah, for her past she feels... Too elegant? I know she's supposed to be the 'perfect daughter' but she can be the ultimate killing machine, hands down.

Warden Malz, Marauder Syndra.

I had forgotten about Syndra. Granted, she just received her Queen skin, I'm not sure how she would look as a Marauder, though I think Riot could pull something off with that.

Rito JerichoOct 9, 20151 votes

Warden Malz sounds like a really good idea to me. Then again, of course it would since Malzahar is my favorite champ so far.

really cant picture him, he'd better get a skin with jinx and vi, since they were in a gang or something like that...riot did make justicar aatrox and syndra, some theorize they'd be like that if they turned to the bright side of the force instead

I always wondered if they would continue the Justicar series.

But Morde already has a Marauder skin! His base skin. Kidding aside, Morde I can see getting a Marauder skin, but I really think it would just be a darker, spikier version of his base skin, I just can't see it happening, i hate to say that since Morde is #1.

Baron of BreadOct 9, 20151 votes

He could fit a Warden skin though since it would be different enough from his other skins. Of course, it would have to kick serious butt for it to be better than King of Clubs.

I think it would be neat if Kindred got them, haha. Wolf could be Marauder and Lamb could be Warden, or vice versa.

Both warden and marauder teams seem to be built differently.

Marauded focuses heavily on single target damage, slowing the enemy so they can't reach the back line, locking down single targets and diving the enemy backline. I'd feel an assassin would work best for the Marauder team, talon seems most suitable with his whole single target; slow focused; stabby stabby playstyle.

Warden on the other hand has a bigger focus on poke, team based utility and aoe crowd control. They have solid peel for the backline with nautilus and karma while still retaining frontline capabilities with jax. They use magic damage far more than the marauders so a mage is definitely the best fit for the thematic. Xerath could work quite nicely with his solid aoe capabilites, and he'd look pretty cool with warden armour around a white energy core.

With regards to the names, I think something more unique than marauder king and warden lord could work cool, perhaps Inquisitor (the original name for the wardens) Xerath and Ravager Talon.

Marauder Talon would be ok, but he needs a 1350 skin this time around.

Marauder Azir would be freaking awesome. Veigar could also work.

Warden Orianna or Lux could be cool. Warden Galio would be perfect.

For the last two skins I would love a marauder skin for Talon and a warden skin for Diana. I feel the skins would work well with these champs. Talon is the definition of dark and merciless. A marauder skin that plays off the fact that he is not a armored tank, but a quiet merciless killer that seeks his own personal gain would be awesome. Talon hasn't received a descent new skin in a while. The SSW skin was okay, but I didn't feel unique and it is a legacy skin which means it won't be on the store for a while.

Diana would work perfectly with the warden skin. She is a warrior of the moon. She thinks of herself as above the law. Her abilities would feel adequate with the skin since her abilities have light colors and embody the idea of Diana being a transcendent warrior. Diana only has two other skins and only one of them feels adequate with her personality and mannerisms. A warden skin would perfectly capture what Diana is as a champ.

As for your opinion, I think Jayce is a interesting idea for a warden skin, but my problem with it is that he is not a mid laner. He is more of a top laner. He is also very popular which means Riot will shower him with awesome skins in the future. I wouldn't be mad if they gave him the last warden skin though. I feel that a warden skin would fit him well.

As for Twisted Fate, he already has a lot of skins. Giving him a warden skin would be somewhat pointless since he has other skins that are way more popular. His personality and mannerisms don't seem to resemble that of a vicious marauder. Twisted Fate would make an interesting warden though. If Riot decides to continue to the wardens and marauders skins (which they should), I would like to see Jayce and Twisted Fate get a skin, but I feel the priority for this possible last skin to be for champs that have been somewhat neglected in the skins category.
