@Riot Can we keep the Arclight range exclusive?

To those Champions with the letter V? It's a small thing, but I reckon it's a cool "Did you know?" fact.

Currently, we have: Varus Vayne Velkoz

From what I can remember, the Arclight skins do have a little bit of lore behind them. To quote from the wiki of Arclight Varus: > It has been stated that this skin is how Varus looked after he used the power of the corruption, but "before the darkness consumed him".

I would think this may apply to the others. Vayne 'purifying' everyone, but before she went full-on werewolf hunter. Vel'Koz claiming for the void, but before he went full-on research mode.

The other champions yet to receive the skins: Veigar Using his spacey powers, before he went absolutely insane. Vi Being a vigilante, before she accepted her job as a copper. Viktor Creating his master race, before he tried to 'convince' everyone else. Vladimir Killing people for the enjoyment, before he wanted to take their blood. Volibear When he was a lightning shaman, before he embraced war.

Personally, I think Veigar or Viktor would look really snazzy with yellow particles of purity.

A single letter shouldn't hold back a skin opportunity. Meaning that if they had an idea for a great Arclight skin and the team wanted to do it, but it wasn't for a champ whose name starts with 'V', then they'd probably still go for it.

Ah, yes. See, Justicar Syndra is part of this skin line, technically. So, if they did want to add to it, they should put it under Justicar, not Arclight.

You might be interested in reading Kindlejack's headcanon and what he has to say on the the Justicar and Arclight skin lines: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/wmkMgfAX-the-next-arcade-skin?comment=0001000000020000000200000000000000000001

While I agree it's ridiculous to hold back on a skin due to a coincidental collation, it's also ridiculous how well the Arclight theme would fit those other champions with V names :)

You know, I can see White Mage Veigar being updated into a skin that leans towards the Arclight thematic more, haha.

I'm going to just take that as a hint as to the future arclight skins.

They should do this. However, I'm nitpicky with the lore, so I have to point out that at the current moment's lore, Veigar went absolutely insane before he got any significant magical powers. Anyway, it would be cool if they kept this line "V" champions. Or to purple ones.
