Zodiac Skin Ideas

K1ng1nTh3N0rth··11 votes·1,778 views

Hello Everyone, I'm a first time poster and I had an idea about Skins designed around the Zodiac. I'm definitely not an artist and I don't have the ability to design these skins, however I would like to know what the community thinks about the idea about combining the Zodiac signs and some Champs.

In my head, I was thinking about the skins sharing a theme of both a silver and gold coloration on armor plating, however I'm excited to hear your ideas. Below is a list of Champs that I think would fit the Zodiac Sign Theme. I also have some explanations on why I decided some Champs would fit in those Signs, so name an association and I will give it.

Sign--Primary Champ--Secondary Champ Aries-- Braum--Olaf Taurus--Alistar--Sion Gemini--Leblanc--Shaco Cancer-- Urgot--Draven Leo-- Leona--Kassadin Virgo-- Janna--Syndra Libra-- Thresh-- Akali Scorpio-- Skarner--Zyra Sagittarius--Hecarim--Kled Capricorn--Nami--Cassiopeia Aquarius--Gragas--Gankplank Pisces--Tahm Kench-- Fizz

What about Cancer- Yasuo

Wait, why isn't Rengar Leo? He's literally a lion...

I didn't even think about that. I always thought of Rengar like a big cat, not a lion. I guess I got tunnel vision thinking of Leona in golden Lion armor like Ornstein from Dark Souls. Good eye!

because leona's personality fits it more;

"Fire sign; ruled by the Sun. Generous, organized, protective, beautiful."

"The lion is the symbol for this sign because the lion embodies the best characteristics of the leo; proud, regal, relaxed, and in charge. Leo people know they are in charge, even when it may seem outwardly that they are not."

Sounds good but silver and gold sounds a little bit too similar to warden/victorious skin line.

That's a good point. I know some zodiacs have elements associated to them, so maybe the colors from those could replace the silver/gold. Fire-Red Air-Yellow Earth-Green Water-Blue

It's also gonna be cool to see people favor skins based on their own sign.

I'd also love to see a Chinese Zodiac line!

Otherwise, this is an excellent idea and one that I am surprised Riot hasn't jumped on yet. Maybe this year!

It was just a joke lol, i was expecting way more comments to change the choice for Cancer as a zodiac, but there were none when i made this comment.

Anyone else thinking about Fairy Tail and Lucy ? No ? ;'( Please tell me i'm not the only one '-'

When I was thinking of Draven, I was thinking his weapons were big scissor-looking axes. So yes, a little bit

I thought of it too but it was overshadowed by the thought of varus looking like sagittarius from fairy tail 0_0

Good ideas, but... Better than Silver/Gold, how about giving them elemental traits? You know, there are Air signs, Fire signs, Earth signs and Water signs. Would be neat.

Why is Nami Capricorn? Shouldn't she be Aquarius?

K1ng1nTh3N0rth1 votes

I was thinking about that, but as I saw the Aquarius sign closer, it is defined as a cup bearer/water bearer for the Gods. So someone carrying a jug or barrel of liquid. The only champions that I can think of that have a barrel or jug gimmicks are Gragas and Gankplank.

The Capricorn part came from how Capricorns are half goat and half fish. We got the fish part with Nami, all we need is to add a horned helmet or even horns themselves, then you got the Capricorn.

It would be cool if they did skin lines off of ancient mythology all around (greek gods, viking gods, Egyptian gods, etc)

If feel some Saint Seiya vibe with this, was that an inspiration? :P how come i never thought of that? lol

pretty neat idea, if you actually got the idea from Saint Seiya i think Saggitarius should be an archer of some kind, maybe Ashe or Varus? i also think Syndra is like the opposite of what Virgo should be lol

damn those ideas got me hyped up man :P

K1ng1nTh3N0rth1 votes

Yeah, I did draw some inspiration from Saint Seiya.

I tried to stay away from normal archers since they normally don't have the frame for the horse part. At least with Hecarim, he could have the bow and arrow on his skin but not use them. They could be used in his animations to solidify the imagery. I really was broken between using archers and something more far-fetched, I just sided with the more difficult idea lol

With Kled, it would funny to see him use his gun as a crossbow when not mounted. As soon as his passive kicks in, instead of summoning Skaarl, he can turn into a centaur.

Wasn't there a new Zodiac discovered by nasa a recently that whoever miscaculated a few thousand years ago?

K1ng1nTh3N0rth1 votes

I had to do some research, but yeah, you're right. There is a 13th sign called Ophiuchus.

It says that they represents Unity and people under the sign have a natural affinity with snakes. It is known as the Serpent-Bearer. For me this means: Ophiuchus-Aurelion Sol

Thanks for the info!

Ignoring the serpent bearer part, what about Cassiopeia, if they have an affinity with Snakes?

Why not Nami for pisces or aquarius?
