We need more region skins like Dark Water, Chemtech and Void

I just wanted to make a post about how skins themed around regions in the League universe should be used a lot more often. I love the league of legends lore and all the regions in it (Zaun and Bilgewater are probably my favorites) but I feel like the skin team should take a small break from releasing the same skin lines over and over and try making more skin lines for the regions and not just 750rp ones I'm talking 1350rp or higher with particles. Imagine all the possibilities for skins Yasuo a drunken pirate from Bilgewater throwing whirlpools, Jhin is a crazed man from Zaun with chemtech weaponry and green smoke, Riven with her old Noxian armor with red and dark particles, And you could even have Warwick be in the shadow isles being a undead beast the ideas for champs being in different nations are endless. So PLEASE skin team make something like this happen give us a break from the Project skins being released every year and switch it out for a bit.

Also I know there are more skins based off regions the title is just a small example.

We do have a Noxus skin for Riven, Crimson Elite Riven, so that's something. But yeah, it'd be cool to see more of these faction skins. I'd love to see some Dark Water skins that go beyond just undead pirates and more into the horrors of the deep blue, like an Aurelion skin based off deep sea fish with the teeth and lures and stuff, or Shyvana as a shark person, stuff like that. I was about to say urgot as a crab but then i remembered.

I think they actually updated the old Grey Warwick recolor skin to be his Shadow Isles one- He's got a ghost/revenant blade through him instead of the hextech augment now!

That's just a nitpick on yer examples though, still a valid point that it's fun to see the versions of champs from other regions!

Some from my personal wishlist:

  • A celestial Karma skin as if she had ascended Mt. Targon
  • Dark Water Zyra with seaweed flair and creepy deep sea kraken plants
  • Shadow Isles corrupted Xayah and her dead ghostly Rakan servant
  • A brighter Demacian take on Mordekaiser's armor (after his VGU obviously)
  • An Ionian version of Ziggs with more firework/firecracker themed Lunar Revel 'splosions

  • ASPECT Malzahar - if the See-er of Shurima accended Mt. Targon instead of finding the Void Rift in Icathia

  • NOXIAN Kayn - if he stayed in Noxus instead of joining the order of the shadows

  • FRELJORD Viktor - what if instead of being a doctor from Zaun that cured himself from depression through augments he was a healer/medic that got badly injured and Lissandra and The Watchers saved his life by granting him a True Ice body

  • BLACK ROSE Zoe - what if Zoe got adopted by Leblanc and was raised by her, with Vlad as a father figure and Elise and Cassiopeia as older sister figures

  • SHURIMAN Twitch - instead of a mutated Rat living in the Zaun undergrounds he could be an acended Marksman

I'd love some Piltover-themed skins with champions dressed in the city's fashion/style.
