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.
Ryster2 votesThat 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.
Toa of Death2 votesThey wouldn't have to be called Pentakill. They could just be called Penta or Legendary

credit IP (like the did with tenacity runes) and now go out & earn it. Figured people voting it negative would be the ones at risk of losing current skins.
67chrome2 votesCould 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.
Toa of Death1 votesI would imagine that, if these skins were made, you would have to earn them on summoner's rift and it would have to be on normal/ranked. Though, you do have a point with the supports. Maybe since the supports are mainly only supposed to get assists they could get the skin through an assist but they'd have to the one who helped most during the assist, like when someone assists in a kill their champ portrait(s) are in the order of who contributed the most to the kill.

hi
ValyrianBlade1 votesWhen 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").
ValyrianBlade2 votesShould note that this would potentially cause people to rage in ranked if a teammate takes a kill and they get a quadra instead, thereby really hurting a team that probably is in a position to win. so maybe not such a good idea.
bigusa1 votesyeah 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.
