Skin line idea - 4 champ Basketball team lead by Dunkmistress Illaoi.

[1820/1350/975 Skin Ideation] March Madness! – a series of 4 basketball themed skins (ranging in RP price) to go with Dunkmaster Darius. In this concept, the 5 skins make up a realistic team, having names like Point Guard Ahri or Shooting Guard Ziggs. Champions would be in their hometown jersey & each have a basketball involved in most animations. Specific champs that would work with this could be:

1. Dunkmistress Illaoi in a Serpent Isles jersey & a basketball instead of her idol. This skin would be a Legendary & companion to Dunkmaster Darius with lots of unique VO’s between them, also featuring Illaoi dunking on her enemies just like Dunkmaster Darius. Her tentacles could be either basketball hoops that bend & slap her enemies or Airdancers (wack-wavy-inflatable-arm-flailing-tube-men), and her Test of Spirit ability could have her whipping a towel at her target. Much of her VFX could be replaced with stadium-themed lights and confetti or other similar ideas. Also, for her recall she could either dunk off of a trampoline or recreate the video of Benny the Bull running towards the basket to dunk & instead running into a guy holding a huge open bag of popcorn. As a special interaction, if she kills an enemy with Harsh Lesson a glass backboard will appear above the enemy during her leap, which shatters as she makes contact & kills them.

2. Shooting Guard Ziggs in a Bandle City jersey & one of those weird clear sports face masks, throwing basketballs instead of bombs. This skin would be Epic or possibly 975RP, throwing a basketball for his Bouncing Bomb ability & shooting a 3 pointer for his Mega Inferno Bomb ability, spawning a basketball hoop where it hits and shattering the backboard while a crowd cheers in the background. For Recall, Ziggs could pick up a basketball with a burning fuse like a bomb, dribble it around a bit as if about take a shot, then as soon as he releases the ball it blows up in his face.

3. Point Guard Ahi (Epic or 975?) in an Ionia jersey, dribbling her orb and doing a fake-out pass for her Orb of Deception. Additionally, she could have sneaker sqeaking SFX each time she ults, as though she’s juking opponents on a basketball court. Much of her VFX, like Charm, could be recolored orange & given confetti particles. For her Recall, she could be doing GlobeTrotters ball tricks while standing in place, spinning the ball while moving it around on her shoulders and balancing it on her head, perhaps.

4. Small Forward Master Yi (Epic or 975?) in an Ionia jersey, spinning a basketball for Meditate ability & having sneaker squeaking SFX for his Alpha Strike ability, like Ahri. He could have a Thunderstick instead of his sword which changes color during Wuju Style, then during Recall he could pull out a second Thunderstick, sit down in a bleacher seat and bang them together. However, he’d have to be dribbling a ball all the time while he holds his sword with his other hand.
