Aurelion sol mecha skin: possible improvement?
1st of all, im thankful that riot gave my favorite spacedragon a skin![slayer-pantheon-thumbs] (only champ i actively wanted to lvl7 XD)
The theme of the skin itself is not that bad, i like it, giant dragon robot even sounds cool, doesnt it? However for me the skin itself feels a little bland/toyish. The replacement for his stars from the passive dont look like they would be weapons or do damage to me. More like sci fi toy daggers, fitting more with toy renekton (even the colours fit his own blade).
What i think that would work better, would be a super galaxy skin for him. For once the mech theme would still be there and as he is** THE star forger**, fighting with or being the leader of the super **GALAXY **team would fit quite well.
And here is where i want to go back to the 1st super galaxy skin, for rumble. That skin is a clear, at least for me, homage/tribute to gurren lagann (a series about mechas). The skin (and the series) feature prominently the theme of drills/spirals. As an example, look at rumbles drill arm and the rockets, that have drills as tips on them. Super galaxy nidalee also has this drill theme incorporated into her spear and abilities.
So having the all mighty stardragon turn into a homage to the final form of gurren lagann (that looks like an accumulation of green stars or a GALAXY wink) would fit perfectly. The green star energy could be used for his transparent lower body part. The little toys that fly around him could be replaced with drills, or rockets with drills as rumble has them. Thus having a connection to the 1st super galaxy skin and even having its homage effect! Aurelion sols q looks like a vortex so it would fit the spiral characteristic of the series, or a drill as a whole.
(for his long range travel he could even start to spin like a drill, but that could be to much drill in one skin XD. Is there even such a thing as too many drills?)
To draw a conclusion, a super galaxy skin would fit aurelion sol as a theme (star dragon to mecha galaxy defender, in his lore he even defends the universe from void corruption), the mecha theme would still be part of it and his passive and overall skin would look less toyish because of the more dangerously/realistic looking drills (and not orange toy plastic knives).
Thank you for reading and excuse any errors, english is not my 1st language. Please share your thoughts/criticism on this.
(of course this could be an own skin idea later on but i doubt that a champ would have mecha and super galaxy, as their themes are quite close to each other)
