Beach or Surfer Taliyah and Volcanic Taliyah (Skin discussion and community ideas).

Real talk, Riot needs to make a Summer skin for Taliyah like a Beach Taliyah/Beach Day Taliyah or Surfer Taliyah. The Scuba suit concept was thought of by SlownD. In game it could have her outfit be a swim suit or a scuba suit. And she rides on a her surf board. Her W should a sandcastle and her E could be a bunch of mini sandcastles. I've seen concept art ideas. But, I was thinking her Q and other particle effects would be sand. So, it would probably sound like wet sand being thrown. With the correct sound effects I don't think throwing sand would feel "boring".

The Scuba suit is a good idea but if they want to they could just go for a swim suit and make chromas. Personally, I was thinking that a black chroma for a stereotypical anime swim wear outfit for a student, the kind with the symbols on it. She has that arm design/clothing around her shoulders so I thought a beach towel would work (and also good for a swim suit chroma). The Taliyah swim wear Chroma just sounds neat but the Scuba wear looks more professional and clean, the way to go. The Scuba suit would also look better with her surfing. She needs a skin and this would be nice. Another particle effect instead of sand and sandcastles on W and E would be to have her W be a mini wave of water and for her Ultimate to be a giant wave. I think it'd be easier to Riot to make sandcastle effects vs moving particle effects for water based abilities. Also tossing out Sand would fall in line with her other skins that use Rocks and Ice.

If they made darker colors on her particle effects like black/gray rocks with a red after glow Riot could probably make a Volcano skin based Taliyah. When her circle effect passively marks the ground, a darker molten particle change would look great and her W could be a mini volcano. Volcanic Taliyah sounds awesome.

Cool voice lines for the Beach or Surfer skin would be: "Surf's up!" and_"Hang ten!"_ Also a funny interaction with Alistar could be this (a classic cow joke even if he is a bull): Taliyah saying "Cowabunga!" and Alistar could make a comment back. "What about Cows?!" or "What did you just say about the Cows?!"

Lastly (my opinion) for her recall a sand castle, balancing on her surf board, or interacting with a turtle would be cool. Thank you for reading this skin discussion!
