Pantheon and his many skins

Pantheon has a badass gameplay fantasy. A Targonian Aspect of War wielding great power which he uses to defend Mt. Targon from any who seek to defile it. But ingame Pantheon is as generic as it comes with a boring kit, terrible model and ancient desing. He makes the lives of his lane opponents hell and as a Pantheon player his gameplay should honor his badass lore. But im here to talk about his looks and how his inevitable VGU might affect his current skins. I urge you to post your own ideas as any community feedback might help Riot out when they get to reworking him(and maybe push his rewok a bit closer:D)

Base - This was no star, but a warrior mantled in starlight and bearing a gleaming, golden shield and spear of legend. He had landed in a warrior's crouch, one knee lowered to the ground, and as he looked up at the enemy defiling the lands of Mount Targon, the Rakkorans saw it was Atreus... and yet not Atreus.

A lone figure awaited the armed convoy, standing silhouetted against the sun. His heavy cloak and the long plume atop his helm billowed in the hot, dry desert wind. A tall Spear spear was held at his side.

He was bedecked in armor of archaic design, though his arms and legs were bare and tautly muscled. His cloak was deep crimson, though in the twilight it seemed as if stars gleamed in the shimmering fabric. That starlight also glittered in his unrelenting gaze, shadowed within the visor slits of his helm.

These are the descriptions of Pantheon in his lore, but as we know Riot love to add something extra that first poops up in our heads when you think of said champion. Warwicks chemtech implants, Urgots shotgun legs, Evelynns Lashers, Yoricks mist cape etc. For Pantheon i would like that to be his cloak, make it free flowing or anything but the static blanket it is now.

Myrmidon - a reference to the Myrmidons of Greek mythology this skin could be the throwback to pre rework Pantheon being his hopolite skin and honoring his Origin as Leagues Spartan, rocking the classic Hoplite armour with Pantheons trademark glowing eyes a nice contrast to the celestial golden warrior Pantheon is.

Perseus - another reference to Greek mythology this time to the before mentioned hero Perseus the slayer of Medusa. For this skin i would like to see some unique shield effects and some added posion effects on his abilites honoring the Greek myth.

Ruthless - basicly naked Pantheon this all this skin is, but i would like to see this skin change to something lore related akin to Young Ryze. So i would like this skin to depict Atreus before he became the vessel for The Aspect aka Pantheon, so yay lore.

Full Metal - this is a though one as the FM skinline hasnt seen an addition in ages so i can be sort of free throwing out ideas for this one, mainly that of a fully robotic Pantheon adding electricity to his abilites to give some of that "Robo Spartan" wibe.

Glaive Warrior - honestly this skin IMO doesnt have much room for extra addons at it is just Dacian Pantheon with not much to it so i would just keep the general look put on top of Panths new model

Dragonslayer - my personal favorite and honestly this being fairly modern just needs a general update nothing special added(maybe a fire cape ey)

Slayer - same thing as Dragonslayer, quality modern skin updated to match his new model.

** Baker** - same thing as the two above.

Anyway i hope you this reignited your love for spears,shields and big red capes and feel free to post any ideas of your own.

I think the thing that will change the most about new Pantheon , will be his kit and VO more so than his visuals (similar to the last Ryze) but I'm looking forward to his designs as it'll give us insight to 'Targon's style', and the VGU itself some insight to who Pantheon is and how much of Atreus is left.

I like the idea of the poison vfx for throwing Perseus' abilities 100%, his Aegis Protection for Perseus should be 4 stone Medusa heads circling him!! Idk how much from Perseus Riot is willing to take but the winged sandals would be a great addition for when he's ulting.

I don't think Ruthless Pantheon acting as a lore skin of Atreus before his ascension would work, it depends on the VO, if he's saying stuff like when Rhaast takes over Kayn "Atreus is no more!" then there'd be a problem. Depending on the new shield design I hope this one keeps the general deep red and silver/ grey cross theme, and amp the barbaric nature of the skin perhaps.
