Can we get more LORE related skins rather than non canon skins

La Bello·Nov 6, 2015·4 votes·2,738 views

Im getting a bit weary of these random fiction skins like Warden/Maruader/Acedemy.

As a huge Lore lover I would like to suggest more canon skins like prevoid kassadin and Crimson elite?

Here are some Ideas .

hooded Lucian in a fishermans trenchcoat from the Shadows and Fortune lore (would look sorta like this but with a hood instead of the hat)http://www.screenused.com/images/iknow/8319_1.jpg

preDeath/resurrection Mordekaiser (I have no Idea what he would look like so here is my best bet)https://40.media.tumblr.com/e242e0d3bc600beba4dbac5be8026a0a/tumblr_muzuv3ntpc1qzrdsyo4_540.jpg

Riven in her Noxian War armor (how do you make something Noxus? why add Red/black and spikes to it of course!) (http://img0.reactor.cc/pics/post/full/Darius-League-of-Legends-%D1%84%D1%8D%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BC%D1%8B-Riven-1736567.jpeg)

Crimson Elite Riven is already a thing, you know.

yeah but thats not what she wore when she first entered the Noxus/Ionia war. Remember at one point Riven was a footsoldier who got promoted to commander/group leader for being showing no mercy. Crimson Elite is like special agent skin that she got sometime later.

Crimson Elite is a counterpart of the Commando line and was never part of the main canon.

All the other skins have their own alternate universe where they are canon, but they are not canon in the main Runeterra timeline. Like you, I too would like to see some skins that are. For example, Human Azir, Nasus, Xerath and Renekton.

Crimson Elite is not canon.

And on the main topic: Now that Skins and Narrative became dislodged from each other in terms of work for events, this became a little less likely to happen.

Also, I don't think that"Lucian, but in a raincoat" or "Riven, but like with some spikes" has enough pull to justify making it a skin (maybe a 750 RP one).

A pre-undeath Mordekaiser might be a very cool skin, however.

Also I merely spitballed those Ideas im sure whatever artistic talent Riot has over there can take that and do something MUCH cooler.

Rengar in a hoodie worked because he normally doesn't have one.

Lucian already has a coat. Changing him to a slightly different one is not very compelling.

Riven in full Noxian infantry commander uniform might also work, in any case.

I mean they could aslo try

-Wukong in his training outfit from when he was learning Wuju from Yi -Zed/Shen when they were both allies training under Shens dad -Gladiator pit Alistar and xin zhao from when they were trapped in the Fleshing -fist of Shadows Akali (although alot of this is speculation)

The last one already exists in Viscero Xin Zhao, although that one was retired into the Legacy Vault.

Pretty sure Shockblade Zed is based on when he was training to be the Eye of the Tempest before he became all edgy because of some silly secret box and ditched the Ninja Turtles.

It is a game where

An Armored Bear can fight the Chronokeeper
A Greek Titan fight a 2'6"-tall fuzzball with a blowgun.
A walking catfish can swallow an ace pilot flying around in his modified copter....

But you object to the guy in a tracksuit with a battleaxe (Academy Darius)

La BelloNov 6, 20151 votes

the point of my post wasnt to object to them.Im just saying I would like to see more canon Lore skins again

incase you have not noticed the last canon skin that we got was Captain Fortune which was released back In July . and before THAT there was like the longest drought of lore related skins. they wernt BAD by any means but I would really like to see more Runeterra fluff ingame
