I feel like League is seriously lacking victorian/old english and fictional gothic aesthetics

Meanwhile we have like hundreds of asian skins and many asian champions. The only champions I could think of that somehow represent the said patterns are Nosferatu/Marquis Vladimir, Vayne's Aristocrat skin and small bits of Caitlyn's design (tell me if I'm wrong, but I really can't remember anyone else. Ah, humorous gentlemen skins actually count?). I'm definitely not talking about steampunk, but the other fictional representations of 1800-1900 years. You know, like Bram Stoker's Dracula (so the fictional Transylvania in media), Frankenstein, many species of english serial killers like Jack the Ripper (Who wouldn't want to have Dr. Mundo wearing a top hat?), Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and many other fine pieces dedicated to that era. This thought actually came to my mind after playing Bloodborne, which, I must say, has the best design decisions I have ever seen in games (at least for me). Sometimes I really feel an urge to play as someone classy (in the true meaning of that word) without having to turn off the League. Thanks for reading. http://orig00.deviantart.net/de42/f/2012/342/c/9/jack_the_ripper_by_davepalumbo-d5nf3d2.jpg

Some Galio skins could be described as Gothic, I guess. Architecturally speaking.

A Spring Heeled Jack like champion would be pretty cool.

Edit: Does nobody know of the legend of Spring Heeled Jack?

we have so many asian characters because riot knows their weeb audience and also its mega popular in east asia

Because gritty atmosphere doesn't attract typical League of Legends players.

While weeby anime like personalities Ahri Ezreal Yasuo Syndra just make people flock to them and give their money for their skins.

EDIT: downvoted by triggered animeweebs for stating my own opinion.

I think the new champion Jhin seems to fit the description you've made here. He definitely has a steampunk-y feel to him. I believe riot could do a lot with "darker" skins for him as well.

i can see them making a vampire champion and i know some people consider Vladimir to be the vampire champ except he isn't a vampire at all

im talking about a full on vampire draped in Victorian Gothic attire he would be melee and have his face concealed and he would be a melee champ out for blood now thats an interesting idea

It's an aesthetic that would really fit nicely for some elements of Piltover and Zaun, or even Demacia and Noxus to a lesser extent. I wouldn't mind seeing it show up a bit more.

I think the reason that we have a lot or too many Asian theme skin is because we actually have an event that revolve around it, but that doesn't mean we can't have an annual skin type to be release without it being tied to an event.

These skin could be like be what you and all of us want. Although it wouldn't be all Victorian era esq things it could maybe one year be purely Victorian the next more Steam punk and the year after that it could be Noir because even though we get Asian skin they are not the same every year I mean yes they are all Asian theme but they are not exactly the same.

Although I did say it don't have to be an event thing it still be cool to give it a name as to generalize it like for Valentine we get heart and suit if every year we get something like Victorian, steam punk, noir, or gothic what can we call it?

Also I would love a Mr. Hyde Mundo http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/3/30/Mr._Hyde.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110304200338 http://ndla.no/sites/default/files/images/F5692.jpg

A banshee skin would be cool. Some skins based on Norse mythology would be the dream for me :3 summoner 31
