Next Lunar Revel, let's start brainstorming

Skins need some time to develope, so if we have any suggestions for skins in the future line up we have to present them fairly early. And so I thought to myself, let's ask the community which champions they would like to see getting skins for the next celebration of the Chinese new year.


To get it out of the way immediately: I think most people will agree that Sejuani will be part of the skin line. Sejuani

The next year will be the year of the pig and in the past, Riot chose a champion representing the Zodiac of each year in some way. Last year we got Warwick and Nasus representing the dog, the year before that it was Azir as the rooster. The only champion related to pigs in any way is Sejuani and therefore she should be in the skin line.


Now to the other picks: what do you personally expect? Keep in mind that it would be great if the trio has some kind of theme (Azir as the lord, Garen and Vi as his guards; Lux as the Lunar Empress, Warwick and Nasus as the celestial dogs).


My own suggestions:

Sejuani would fit the Warring Kingdoms skin line the best in my opinion, as some kind of leader of either a warband or some bandits. With that thematic in mind, I could imagine the following champions going along with it:

Leona Didn't have a skin in a while and she could use a skin inspired by Asian culture. Would fit the warrior theme well, too. Taliyah Could imagine her as a young and naive member of the bandits. There was a Warring Kingdoms skin concept in the internet that would look awesome. And she needs another not-worlds-related skin. Galio I know, this choice seems odd, but let me explain. Maybe Sejuani plundered an ancient tomb and found Galio, who is a jade golem possessed by a spirit, and now uses him for her own goals. (Inspired by the terracotta army) Blitzcrank Same concept like Galio, basically an ancient jade golem.

Sejuani BETTER be part of it! or ELSE RIOT! XD

As for others.. hmm I hadn't thought too much on that. Hmm.

Agreed, it is the year of the pig, so there is absolutely no other choice than giving the skin to Sejuani to represent the zodiac.


Start thinking about it then. [sg-ahri-2]

Since it is the year of the pig, fat champions like TahmKench and Gragas should have it ;)

Seriously though I'd like to also see one for Leona I think she'd fit in pretty well.

Inb4 MF and Jinx get it and Sejuani doesn't.

Come on, be fair. In the last years, Riot always has given at least 1 champion representing the zodiac the skin for Chinese new year. Nasus Warwick year of the dog Azir year of the rooster MonkeyKing year of the monkey

And Sejuani is the only champion in the roster with a clear connection to the pig thematic. There is no reason to think they would skip her.

It was a pure joke don't worry xD

Destory them!! But nah. She should get it if they don't do something stupid

Yep, that's the one I was referring to. Taliyah would work really well with a Chinese dress and she needs a new skin, since the only one she got was a worlds skin.

Let's hope she doesn't become a case like Kalista.

The Year of the Pig hmmm...

Urgot and Gragas fit well...

Chembaron Yamada2 votes

I get why you suggest them and I think at least Gragas could work fairly well. Could definitely see him at Sejuanis side.

Urgot is more difficult, tho. I don't think he will become a champion who gets skins often and he already got the High Noon skin this year. Besides, implementing him in this skin line mostly inspired by Chinese mythology seems fairly difficult. Any ideas how to handle this?

Ooooh Taliyah is starving for a non worlds skin. I like Leona as well, but instead of Galio Kalista could get one since she has one non world related skin which is her release skin.

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

Thought the same, but I had a hard time thinking about how to implement Kalista as an undead correctly in the setting. Any ideas?

Eeszsa1 votes

I think if she was humanized and represented as a goddess would be such a unique skin for her. The undead part can be included in other skins, but if she get a Lunar skin she should be represented as a goddess instead. Maybe a fallen goddess?

The year of the boar also offers a chance to refere to "Journey to the West" tale and we might get a full group of skins. My takes for those would be:

Sejuani TahmKench Karma (I would say Wukong but he has the Radiant skin already) Alistar <-- (wikipedia says the last character is called also the "water buffalo")

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

Considering that Ox is one of the Chinese zodiacs as well, I would save Alistar for the associated year to give him the skin. Karma I can clearly see, but what is your idea behind Tahm Kench?

Stars Shaper1 votes

Indeed Alistar could be postponed.

I chose Tahm as a representation of the pig gluttony, I'm not sure about eastern cultures having the same symbolism about it but I could see it fit with Bristle being the ramming boar representing this other characteristic of the animal(s).

I want one for kayn where he is zhu baije and instead of a scythe he wields a rake. Similar design to radiant wukong.

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

I was thinking about Kayn, but I thought that he would be a bit unlikely since he already got a Legendary skin this year while still being fairly new. So I don't think he will get another skin so early in the next as well.

They started deciding on the next Lunar Revel months ago.

They've most likely already decided.

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

In that case, you can just drop your predictions for the upcoming skins in here. :)

Terozu1 votes

Personally I still want a noble battle maiden Sejuani and a drunken man on a pug kled.

But kled just got a skin so that dream is dead.
