So wait, we have a STAR-GUARDIAN as well as a DARK STAR skinline, and yet...

... not a single skin for the STARCHILD and THE ONE DUDE WHO LITERALLY MAKES STARS FOR A LIVING?!

And while I admit that putting Aurelion Sol in a fancy dress might prove difficult (note that I didn't say impossible, but getting something that applies to his sense of aesthetics while also going along with the tackyness of the Star Guardian outfits might be tricky) - that can't be said for the Dark Star Skinline or AT LEAST, Star Guardian Soraka!

Also, HAVE YOU ALL SEEN THE NEW DARKSTAR SPASH?! Holy shit they are so awesome, now imagine what they could create with a freaking SPACE DRAGON as a model! Poor guy only has his release skin anyways...

I highly doubt they're be those style of skins for them.

Same reason they would never make Soulstealer Thresh or Volcanic Brand.

SaltyToplaneGoatApr 23, 201711 votes

Yeah, Soulstealer thresh would be Evil green Thresh, which is regular Thresh.

However, Star Guardian (SPARKLES!!!) or Dark Star (impending doom from beyond) are both faaaar away from these champions regulare themes, no?

Variks the LoyalApr 23, 20175 votes

It's still that same sense of 'Star Power' or 'Outer Space'.

It's just the kind of thematic that would end up being a 750 recolor rather than the big budget skin you're imagining. Aurelion Sol is already about coalescing stars and galaxies; wouldn't perhaps Blood Moon, with circling red moons and a demonic oni mask, or Hextech, with a steampunk body and electric energy stars, be cooler?

Heck, they could make a Storm based skin for Sol and market it as similar to Ao Shin.

It's not that such a skin couldn't be made, it's whether or not there's a cooler, more unique thematic to explore.

So by that logic, Diana's Blood Moon skin that has been long awaited by the fanbase and where half of this board nearly pissed themselves when it was released, was unnecessary and redundant?! Sorry, but that's just not making any sense at all. The purpose of skins is to be AWESOME, not UNIQUE.

Trust me, Black Dragon Sol or Fancy-Sparkle-Dress Sol would both be FAR away from the regular appearance, especially in terms of effects and atmopshere in color scheme and splashart. Something similiar applies to Soraka - altho here the potential might be a bit lower, but I would be totally ok with a "lower level"-skin. It doesnt always have to be a Ultimate or Legendary Skin...

Chromatic EagleApr 23, 20172 votes

I still think BM Diana was redundant, but due to how they designed the skin, it's far removed from Diana's lore. That's not really the case with what you want.

SaltyToplaneGoatApr 23, 20171 votes

Ah yes, because putting Aurelion Sol into a fancy dress, shower him with glitter and make him the leader of a Magical Girl Squad would somehow be too close to his original lore and design. Yeah... obviously not. Same accounts for Soraka, who has absolutely nothing to do with a) Black Holes or b) Glitter and Magical Girl Cuteness.

I think it is exactly the case with what I want.

ForgottenLuckApr 23, 20173 votes

I mean if they made blood moon Diana why would they not make Star guardian Soraka?

LùmenApr 23, 20173 votes

They already have those skins, and you don't even need to pay! ... :^)

When I saw new dark star sklins I was hoping one would be for Aurelion. then I saw the kha siz one and I was fucking triggered. it doesn't make any sense and it looks like a poorly made custom skin if I'm going to be honest here.

Eternal791Apr 23, 20173 votes

How does Dark Star Kha not make sense? kha consumes things to mutate and become more powerful. Dark stars do something pretty similar but on a universal scale.

Now Dark Star Cho would be awesome.

my main point was that it's ugly and doesn't make as much sense as aurelion sol. Also isn't dark star thresh's whole objective to destroy the universe so he can die to?

Eternal791Apr 24, 20171 votes

I actually think the Kha skin is pretty sweet, not as cool as Orianna and Thresh, but still cool. And destroying the universe is the purpose of all the Dark Stars.

Eternal791Apr 23, 20172 votes

I could see a First Star Aurelion to go with the star guardians.

SaltyToplaneGoatApr 23, 20171 votes

Oh that sounds like an idea, making him the leader of them - and obviously the leader must be EXTRA sparkly! [slayer-jinx-catface]

Eternal791Apr 23, 20171 votes

In fact he needs to be so sparkly he gives epileptic people seizes from his awesomness.

SaltyToplaneGoatApr 23, 20171 votes

Eh... maybe not go so far, that'd be overkill <_<'

I personally want Raka to get the First Star skin. Been saying it since hearing about First Star. First Star seems like the matriarch over the SG

SaltyToplaneGoatApr 23, 20171 votes

Someone else suggested giving that position to AurelionSol , as he is truly the "creator of stars". But for Soraka that would also be interesting...

PlacentasApr 23, 20173 votes

Like I said, just my opinion but I think First Star sounds like a matriarch figure which would make sense since the majority of SG are girls a la Sailor Moon, with the exception of Tuxedo Mask --- cough- EZ -cough-

So Raka being a healer - a motherly attribute - I can see her as a FIrst Star. Also would love for it to be a Legendary skin with a new voice over & everything. MAKE HER QUEEN QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE

Stars ShaperApr 23, 20171 votes

Indeed, I agree with you.

An Aurelion Sol skin fitting the Star Guardian universe would be really problematic as he would be just a more starry and anime-like version of himself which is kind of redundant.

Darkstars have more characteristic features and I think there is a way for our A-Sol to fit in: "Aurelion Sol, mad at the loss of so many stars for the whims of fools is now pursuing Targon devouring the very universe he created".

OelykApr 23, 20171 votes

I just recently had a conversation with someone about this, how riot doesn't want to do skins that relate to closely to the base... so no star skins for star champs.

KhadaverApr 23, 20171 votes

Either one would work well and be different enough on Soraka

Skins ProjectApr 24, 20171 votes

Serious question.... Is Soraka AurelionSol 's bitch?

I mean... She follows the stars that he made......

*Edit

Leona 2?

Azir even?

Hello I am BirdApr 24, 20171 votes

Leona is apart of Targon, the nation of which imprisoned Aurelion Sol. That means that for the majority of Leona's life, Aurelion Sol was her bitch (Not specifically her but you get the point)

Skins ProjectApr 24, 20171 votes

But didn't leona JOIN targon afterwards?

And she gets her power from the sun and the sun is in theory a star created by sol...
