Penta Kill Skin

So, I was watching a guy stream on twitch the other day and he brought up a cool Idea. Every champion should have a secret Penta skin. When you get a Penta Kill with a champion, you unlock a special skin that can only be unlocked by getting a Penta kill with that champion. I just wanted to hear your guys thoughts on this.

That is a cool idea... but holy crap that would take forever to make all those skins... also kind of conflicts with the Pentakill band skins we have already.

Could be really cool. Making the splash art for such skins would be a massive undertaking, but the skins/models themselves could just use a filter or swanky effect to sort of unify them across all champions.

Maybe something like Smite where the heroes (gods) are just solid gold, maybe have some cool ghostly effects, maybe make them look like they're made of chrome steel.

Also - there's the problem of difficulty in actually unlocking those skins. Champions like Yi and Katarina can fairly easily score a penta kill, where champions like Janna or Braum - good luck with that.

There's also a minor issue of maps and modes for earning and sporting the skins, as earning a pentakill in Howlyng Abyss is a lot easier than getting one in Rift. Or getting one in co-op is substantially easier than Abyss. Earning a pentakill in Treelines is subsequently the most difficult, as you'd need to time it perfectly with resurrections, and probably need to be fighting opponents with Revive.

When I was like level 3 and saw a pentakill Sona that's exactly what I thought you needed to do to unlock it. I thought that would have been awesome. a lot of work but cool. For legitimacy it would need to only count ranked Games on the rift, so people can't try to get it illegitimately with friends (or randomly one normal game "Hey let's all trade pentas for the skin").

yeah I agree 100%. , should be a skin you can buy when you get a penta and unlock it. And customs games shouldn't count.

regarding splash art, you can go with a standardized skin penta art for all champs. and maybe even make a all out platinum colored variant if you ever get a hexa .

so break down. get a penta/hex, unlock customer skin for that champ. if its a penta, and you get a hexa make that champ skin become all platinum.

This way you instill fear in battle with those you confront with your Penta/Hexa skin.. This way they know you have scored a penta/hexa out of mad skills, rather than big wallet.
