Since we got Projects last year, maybe new Programs with an event this time?

I know that the Project skin line is extremely popular (hell, it is one of my favourite skin lines, too), and while I would love to get more this year (especially Jinx), I have to keep thinking that we should get a new cast of Program skins this time with an event connected to it.

The Project skin line is growing over the years, yet the Program skins, which are supposed to be their enemies in the same universe, are really few.

They didn't even get mentioned in the lore for the universe last year, not made any appearance. I would love to know more about the Program skin line, how they are all connected to the operating system Lissandra and were all designed by a company for different tasks.

It seems that there is some kind of theme for what champions are chosen for these 2 skin lines. While all Projects have been entirely human, the Program skins all share that they look humanoid, but still quite different from normal human beings.

Robot dude. Replaced her legs with blades. Legs permanently covered in ice. Humanoid space goat.

According to this criteria, great candidates for a Program skin line this year in my opinion would be:

There are more possible candidates, however, I excluded some for reasons like that they already got a skin recently. Examples for that:

Each of these could be designed for different tasks and it could be shown in more color stories. What do you guys think? Would you like to see more from the Program skin line?

I think Mundo and Jax should be blocked for a bit. I think they're in dire need of a VGU, and I don't want skins for them to delay that. They both look pretty bad. Zac I feel is a bit too organic for this line, and I'm not sure how they'd work him into a high-tech line being a liquid like he is.

On a personal note, I'd like Zyra to get an Arcade skin instead, and Orianna to become a Star Guardian. But I'm not opposed to Program for them.

That off the table, Ivern would be cool for this line, as would Aatrox, and Azir. Who'd also be neat would be Kayn, as he has some cool potential to become a "perfect program" or "glitched and corrupted," and I don't think there's another skin line that could quite capture that dichotomy better than Program.

Ivern would be SICK!

Zyra would definitely be a great Program skin. Her ult could be a massive mainframe similar to Lissandra's ultimate aoe zone

Orianna is best candidate for arcade or program skin! Plz riot

Urgot just seems redundant with a battlecast skin already, he doesn't need more robotic skin tbh

DrMundo is a champion who has worser model than many, and assuming they are actively trying exploration on him already, he will not be getting new skins.

Aatrox already has a Mecha Skin, but wouldn't mind if he got Program as well. Xerath has a Battlecast skin, although it's uncannon and is irellevant to Battlecadt lore itself. Zac How on earth are you expecting Program to build Zac? Out of molten aluminium? Please don't make Terminator even more jealous. Nautilus as a Program would be terrifying. Ivern no logical reason. Program Soraka already fullfils the role Program Ivern would. Azir Azir makes sense, because turning the REAL Azir into a Project would be impossible, but hey who am I to judge since a superior being than an ascended, a targonian aspect, Leona is Project. If Azir had a Program skin, then his soldiers should be holograms, if he were to he a Project, then Project's augmented soldiers/troops as his soldiers. Program Bard would be an...interesting pick. Weird but I can see how it would work. Zyra as a Program who can deploy turrers would seem fitting. Jax would be better off as a Project than as a Program. Program Orianna I dunno...she woukd achieve perfection or a full metal body, her latest story revealsnshe sqcrifised her last himan part(her heart) to save her father. Program Karthus would be a single line cash grab with same particles as Program Lissandra Program DrMundo seriously? He should get it AFTER henget's reworked, just how Irelia got reworked and is getting Divine Sword skin.

Anything else you'd like me to answer?

Program skins are cool. I dont have any cuz rip my wallet but They are still cool to see in the loading screen. Plus the last project scheme was great but there are so many now. I remember when it was cool to try and get a full team with project skins and now its so easy.

TWO THUMBS UP FOR PROGRAM SKINZ
