Skin idea for Thresh?

Okay so I'm not really an artsy person and I can't go out and actually throw a picture of what I'm thinking out there, but Halloween is coming up and it's just that season so please RIOT. Thresh is my main and he's only got two skins, and I really think a Halloween skin for him would be cool. He could be all dressed up in black like the reaper and throw a jack o' lantern and souls could be like candy or something. Anyone else see what I'm saying here?

Make him have a sickle and have his lantern be a pumpkin. Give him darker black robes and a hood and a fiery orange/red glow instead of the green one on his classic skin. They could add some different visual effects to his abilities, too.

I see what you are saying and I understand it. However, isn't that just a bit too close to his base skin? Wouldn't it basically amount to changing his lantern and putting a hood over his dreads?

But that would make it similar to a recolor and make it cheaper at the same time. I do think though that its also very similar to the base which may be why its not been done yet since its clearly an obvious choice.

Yeah but if you think about it a lot of champions have skins really close to their base. You don't need to change them too much to make a skin enjoyable and different.

Don't get me wrong. I think a harrowing skin should ahve been done for thresh last year. He is an obvious champion that would fit the theme no problem, but that could also be why they don't do it. THey want to get skins out for champs that we don't always see. Since when you look at champs that get skins there are generally 2 camps. First being those that get played a lot and will have a lot of people buying it and the second holding those champs that no one plays, but the skins gets people to use them (Kinda like Dunkmaster Darius right now). While there are some that fall outside of these groups I feel that a good majority of champs could fill either one.

So again I don't want it to sound like I think its a bad idea becaue I would buy it instantly. I'm a thresh main and own both of his skins so far and will more than likely buy them as soon as they come out.
