I feel like High Noon Ashe is a Missed Opportunity

I’m not saying that the skin is bad, it’s decent and at least has some effort but into making a legendary (unlike the last three “legendaries”). I’m sure a lot of people will like it.

But when as looking through the comments about it, someone was talking about how Kindred hasn’t had a skin for a while, as people are oft to do.

And then I started thinking how much better (I believe) this skin idea would have been on Kindred. High Noon has now been turned into a western setting with demons and now angels.

Kindred could have easily been the top angel and devil. Lamb would be the same as Ashe, except not speaking through a machine, and talk casually with the normals and taunt the devils. She’d be more casual than her usual “the weaves of fate guides” schtick, but that’s why it’s a legendary skin. Then wolf could be the devil in charge, checking on how the little devils are doing and offering deals to the not devils.

It would also be a unique dynamic because devils and angels are never shown casually getting along. The two could be playing a game where lamb tries to stop wolf from corrupting people.

I just thought that would have been a pretty good skin and it would’ve grabbed my attention a lot more than another legendary for Ashe. But that’s just me and if we’re being honest, Riot wouldn’t put in the effort for this type of skin anyways. It would cost too much to get two voice actors in and actually make the skin legendary by their own terms.

Well Riot did say that they want to make High Noon weird, so its possible. I wouldn't make it a legendary, though. I feel like there's enough of a separation between their 2 themes for it to work without it being a legendary.

+1

on the idea and yes this would be perfect for 1 of kindred's future skins.

Imagine wolf turning into a horse for lamb for the homeguard animation.

Skins have what sells in mind first though, and Kindred doesn't sell. So Ashe got it.
