2018 Kled Skin: Riot Please See Here
Good day Riot and other Kled enthusiasts. Here I am going to add links to previously created "Kled Skin Threads", and highlight my favorite Kled Skin concepts, to consolidate the ideas that are already out there and promote an organized effort to help Riot make this new skin a reality by the end of 2018.
Prelude: 578 games Kled main here. I truly love him and Skaarl with all my heart. I wanted to name my dog Skaarl but my spouse wouldn't let me. To get to the point, Kled needs a new skin. I know that there are many champions with higher play rates (which = more $), and Riot is amazing for making the game free to play, I get it. This is about true passion and loyalty, and Riot considering what is fair.
Kled is the only champion in the game with no skins. "Wait what about Sir Kled?". With all due respect that is not a suitable skin for the character that is Kled. Every single other Kled enthusiasts I have ever had the pleasure of playing with in game has told me the same exact thing, and has not purchased the skin. That is okay, regular Kled is already miles cooler than any other Champion. I merely ask to give Kled mains a skin we can be proud of.
For Those Posting New Skin Concepts There are an endless amount of creative skin ideas for Kled considering his unique relationship to Skaarl, i.e. "ghost rider" motor cycle, santa kled (reindeer), etc. But I wonder if anyone in Riot might be hesitant to change Skaarl too much off the body type she already has, for both technical reasons and to preserve Skaarls integrity as her own being. So try to keep that in mind so we can end up with a skin that Riot might realistically accept.
**Skin Concepts: **
Plumber Kled Mario/Yoshi rip off Kled! This is arguably the most popular first choice, but I understand the problem there. I think I may have figured out a solution. Make Kled clad in blood red maroon overalls with a hat. Make his clothes significantly more battle worn than Mario and logo free. Make Skaarl actually more of a Skaarl shaped lizard with enough features of Bowser to convey the message. So it now turns into Mario/Bowser Kled. Makes a better skin story too, he had to tame this immortal vicious beast, which lurked in all the toilets of the realm.
**Reverse Kled ** Skarl is riding on Kled's back.
Pirate Kled aka Bilgewater Kled http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg570/AmBigYouUs/Kled-by-Alex-Heath-League-of-Legends-Artwork-Wallpaper-lol-Fan-Art-1200x646_zpsxyokteas.jpg[/img] Found this art on google image, props to who did it. A really cool concept overall. Again, changes Skaarl, but maybe Riots game. Update: Idea from post below, Skaarl be a similar body shape and an aquatic creature.
**Omega Squad Kled ** http://img14.deviantart.net/9637/i/2016/315/4/6/omega_squad_kled_by_aznok-dao3sfo.png I really like this one, because then Kled and Teemo can be a little gang.

Santa Kled
Reindeer riding, perhaps it is just a holiday lizard, candy cane wielding, bring death and jolliness. Only a month left gogo riot! (Credit to https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/2E7gcNZy-kled-skin-ideas)
Ostrich Jockey Kled Credit goes to SwimyFish. "Ostrich Jockeys are a thing in real life, and turning Skaarl into an Ostrich while dressing Kled in jockey gear and giving him a switch (the thing jockeys use to hit their mounts) as his weapon."
Chosen Kled Also credit to SwimyFish. "Similar to Chosen Yi, it would be a Star Wars where Skaarl is a TonTon."
Scorpian- Skaarl Kled aka **Scorpion King Kled ** http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg570/AmBigYouUs/Scorpian%20Skarl%20kled_zpsbmuivqvi.jpg[/img] This one I made! So I broke my own rule, and changed Skaarl. But this skin is actually more of a skin for Skaarl anyways, so I think its a win for her hehe. Scorpion tail over the shoulder is Q! The way she lunges back and forth and can be clever, I always thought it was Scorpian-esque. If they wanted to do better than my crappy art, Riot could make Kled a "Scorpion King" with a crown, and Skaarls an immortal scorpion who helped make him King of the Dessert Lands.
Female Kled http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg570/AmBigYouUs/Female-Kled-by-WANDAKUN-Gender-Swap-Bend-HD-Wallpaper-Fan-Art-Artwork-League-of-Legends-lol-1200x1761_zpsarfvydhh.jpg[/img] This might be bad press in certain places in the world, Gender Swap Kled, lol. But the picture is great.
