Lore based, skin concept (Noxian side, with lot more than 1 idea)
EDIT: 200416724 - If by any minal chance any of the riot staff actually gets interested in this and wants few more details or something, just email me at [email protected] ,only reason I write it, is becaues there's lot more stuff included in this idea, but no point of everyone knowing it. And please avoid troll mails (community), thanks for the time.
(why does it keep chaning places of my words after I click save dammit T_T)
Out of topic: I know I had posted it in misc. but then a Riot support member told me to post it here instead, so I deleted the old one and posted it, please no hate for resposting. And no hate on the idea, took me exactly 5 mins to make it up and I'll just copy paste it from the support ticket, because I feel too lazy to write it. I cant provide any "drawins" or "animations" of the idea itself, because A) I got no gear to do it B) I'm horrible at drawing.
On topic "IDK... make one skin that can be lore wise and same time, idk... unlocks an event patern and same time unlocks you the ability for a minimum of 3 more skins?
I mean like seriously, okay... You kill Katarina with this Project skin... And where's the potential in it? Kills her lore in 1 stroke, kills her designe, kills everything and locks you at that one skin for 1350 RP? Worth?
Noxus is a land, filled with magic, poisons, curses and stuff like that (WW is a pure example)...
Instead of making a "Project" waste my brain skin... Why not... Make a lore based one? I'll just give a pure example.
"The Du Couteau family forms an official party/metting at the DU Couteau mantion. Swain (Grand General swain skin 1350 RP), dressed in his full body plate, general armor with all the noxian symbols on them with his Raven dressed in a mini light variant of his general armor and his sorcerress (official or queen (as it was offered in the comments) LeBlank 975 RP)) dressed in a revealing (lets say) black dress and a beautiful sapphire gem glowing from her staff, as main guests, welcomed at the door by Talon (Official Talon 975RP), who was dressed in a black tuxido, with decorated in silver and gold sholder plates and his symbolic black hood (in black as the tuxido), to meet his younger "siter" Cassiopea, (Elegant curse Cassiopea 1350RP), who'ms tail was overed in a leather covering with different sorts of gems and silver/gold linears going onto it, her torse with a mini-turkish-blue dress, with all sorts of Du Coutea symbols on it, with her "crown" removed and finally able to see her actual hair.
(skiping a bit the story and jumping to the main idea)
Swain and LeBlank, plotting to remove Katarina as she is the new head of the Du Couteau family, thinking that Cassiopea will be easier to persuade to join them.
(skiping a bit fowards again)
LeBlank, passes by Katarina while she's distracted, a puts a small poison in her glass of wine. After which Katarina drinks from the wine... And falls to the ground... Finding out she was poisoned with a curse...
(Here's the main skin idea)
Then she rises up, unknown where she is... Shunpoes towards the window, breaks out... Runs into the moonlight... Her emerald eyes, start to glow bright green, filled with hate and death.
Cursed Katarina (Ultimate skin 3250 RP)
Main char appearnce : Katarina's default armor is replaced with a beautiful elegant black dress, her "swords" are black steel swords with black shadow comming out of them, her hair pitch black with black fog comming out, her eyes glow emerald green, her skin turned pale. Her idle animation is replaced with a floating one where she holds her swords aimed towards the ground. Her Q Animation replaced, instead of throwing she summones them from behind her and shoots them towards the enemy (the swords are replaced with black daggers with a small black fog), her W animation replaced with her pointing at the ground with 1 hand and summoning daggers from the ground. Her Shunpo makes a black fog that stays for 1-2 seconds after use (at old and new location), her ult is her laugh sound with a darker/ghostly pich, both her hands pointing the ground and summoning a blade storm (works as normal duuh). Her basic attacks are her hitting with the swords in meele range, duuh... All her taunts, dance, recall change. Added ghostly/darker pitch t oher voice in all of them.
Ultimate effect ,every 6 levels the fog affect increases and makes her look more shadowy... (Nearly no fog at level 1, nearly full mystress of the darkness fog at level 18)
When attacked, black fog particales ect.
(add story here)
Talon (curse hunter 1350 RP) in brown/crimsonish leather armor set, cover faced. (new taunt animations/skill animations), together with cassiopea (curse hunter 975RP), with her hair still visable and almost same armor set as Talon, search for a cure for this curse.
(Add going to Ionia story here)
-Add Ionian champ who will give the cure with a random cheap skin idea here-
(add story here)
As they returned, seen the terrorising the cursed Katarina has done on most noxian villages, they rush to give her the cure
(add dramatic battle story here)
Katarina gets cured (Cured Katarina 975 RP)
Gets the cursed dress, cursed swords/daggers, default animations.
How something so simple gives you ~ 8 skins, from which 1 ultimate. Can be lore-a-fide easily... Easily added as a halloween update and the skins to just appear every week or something like that, while you do quests in a gloomy looking summoner rift or something like that...
And at the end we get a "project" skin, which has 0 idea, potential or story behind it...
while In the way I told it, you can literally add 5 more champs minimum, with new skins for low and high prices... So you get an Ultimate skin, few legendaries, few expensive, few normal, few cheap... And a whole event period. Plus "Lore/story"...
Eh whatever... Im just "A" stupid Kata "main" that just whines whole day..."
Off-Topic again: If there's any interest by any devoloper which I doubt, I could spent a day filling the "story" wholes I left and probly add more ideas there of other champion skins...
And proof for haters that would say i lied that I asked support for it

Edit: Forgot that Ultimate skins got a banner and an icon with them, so as an icon it could easily a dark face shaped as katas, with a scar ofc and the eyes with a bright emerald green. While the banner would be a black fog around the boarder or w.e. (not sure if animated effects are possible there ^^)
