What should they do about Viridian, Silver, and Unmasked Kayle?

With Kayle's VGU currently in the works, they'll have to figure out what to do about her not-chroma chromas. They were made at a time when recolors were still considered full skins, but they can't really get away with that any more. So the question is, what should they do about these skins? Simply changing the shapes of the armor would be alright. But it would be nicer, I think, for them to change the theme of all or one of them entirely, as they did with Crimson (Infernal) Akali.

Oh, but for the sake of anyone who does like the recolors, Kayle should be released with a chroma pack including the colors of Silver and Viridian for her base.

Pretty sure viridan will be placed towards an elderwood style since thats what it would fit best with.

Silver and unmasked are a bit harder to define since they are literally small differences from her base. They will probably have more of the crimson to infernal akali vibe where they are made into some new and unique themes.

Unmasked should definitely be Zero-Suit Kayle, essentially... assuming she's still armoured

Viridian I could see getting the same treatment as Emerald Taric and turn into a nature-based skin

Viridian will go the path of Emerald Taric and be placed in Elderwood, most likely
Silver could be placed in any of a number of universes, or could be turned into some kind of region-swap skin
Unmasked may just get straight-up replaced

I'm really wondering about Judgment Kayle tbh...

So with the new Eclipse Leona's VO, she asks Emerald Taric if the Emerald Chapel has sent him to test her. I feel like Viridian Kayle will be swapped to Emerald Kayle, and be a part of, if not the patron angel of, the Emerald Chapel.

I think Silver will get some meh difference from the base skin, but not be flashy, similar to Human Ryze. Same with Judgment Kayle.

I think Unmasked is going to be replaced entirely. Going by Kayle's mystery mini icon that's been revealed, it shows her base skin without a mask, which immediately invalidates this skin. Many believe Kayle will have a helmet toggle. So Unmasked will simply be something new. I do know what, because the skin is literally a blank slate.

considering what they've done so far, most will probably get the infernal treatment and be changed unless the condition for getting them was specific (i.e. preorder; the social media skins). But regardless they'll probs still be amazing and even more special for those who got them that way :)

Silver and Judgement are both limited edition skins that only the oldest veteran players might have. Honestly Riot should have an open discussion on how to rework those skins, considering the number of owners should be relatively small.

No.

And more No.

Silver Kayle was an exclusive skin for pre-ordering the game. It is one of the rarest skins in league, along with Human Ryze (Now Young Ryze), Black Alistar, and King Rammus.

Taking that away from people with cause an UPROAR from the collector community.
