What's Your Favorite Alternate Reality of League?

With the recent release of the now complete Star Guardian skin lineup it'e gotten me thinking: there are quite a few alternate story arcs and universes that League has created just by basing them on skins, but what is everyone's personal favorite? By story arcs and universes I mean skins/ skin series that almost tell a different view on what League is, like Nasus' and Anivia's legendary where they actually become corrupt instead or the Battlecast/PROJECT series.

So just for curiosity, what's your favorite alternate story/universe that's based around a skin?

Whichever reality has Urfrider Corki in it, because Urf is both alive and has developed the power of flight.

Omega Squad Teemo personally.

It's just such a tragic; yet, interesting take on the character. While already subject to the demonic jokes, Omega Squad Teemo puts the character in a reality where his closest allies have all perished and that he remains "the last scout standing". Taking on the defense of Bandle City and then watching your fellow soldiers dying is extremely tragic and something many soldiers can relate to.

Even hearing him say "Hut, Two, Three, Four" or "my tears have all dried up" in such a gruff expression just shows that he's broken past his cheerful exterior and is doing all he can while he's alive. He's pretty much reached insanity, but in a way where he seems to even acknowledge it.

Hopefully Teemo's updated lore expands into why he wanted to protect all the yordles of Bandle City. I feel he has more potential than just the "lolSatan" jokes (though will admit his Little Demon skin is bloody brilliant).

PROJECT/Mecha/Battlecast dystopian alternate future....cause all of them are one Universe.

Second is Star Guardian one, cause it reminds me so much of Madoka Magica.

I wouldn't mind if they fleshed this one out a bit. Like who and why tries to revive heroes of the past with some Abstergo-like technology. There are still some humans eligible for Project left (like Azir , Pantheon , Jhin - this one may get into Program as well since he's half cyborg already), so perhaps Rito will return to this universe eventually.

Maybe Azir will get a skin in the Project/Battlecast/Mecha/Program universe where Azir will be creating robots from Shurima. If Viktor and his Battlecast robots will conquer Zaun and maybe Piltover and make his empire, then Azir can become Creator Azir and make robots in Shurima to stop Viktor from taking over the whole world. I Think that would be cool but I dont know if it would work to have another skin series that is that close to battlecast. He can have nanobots (or nunubots ;) ) or other smal robots that form into soldiers instead of sand.

Then we would have:

Ionia with cyborg super-soldiers like project Ashe Ekko Fiora Leona Zed MasterYi Yasuo Katarina Lucian ( Jhin and Pantheon would fit here too)

Bandle city with mechas like Aatrox Malphite Khazix Sion

Zaun with Viktor and his battlecast void and shurima creatures (dunno everyone that have a battlecast skin).

Program with Soraka and Lissandra ( Azir would fit here if rito don't like my Shurima idea)

Then nano( Nunu )bot Shurima wher Azir is emperor over all nanobot soldiers. Maybe Zac could get a nano skin wher he is made out of nanos and is fighting for azir. If it's not called nano Zac it could be called Grey Zac!

Just something I thought about when I saw your post hope someone likes it and agree with me!

Omega Squad when Riot fleshes it out more. As it is, it's not much since all there is to it is Teemo , but there is a real opportunity for a post apocalyptic world of Runeterra where certain champs died, others went insane, while most have pretty much follow a "survival of the fittest" mentality. There is a lot of room to have champs from each nation with their own story of allies that they lost and the hardships that lead them to where they are now. What's more, I could see this and the battlecast skin line being combined if Riot wished to do so, where the machine army destroys the land with only a handful of survivors across the world, Omega Squad being the resistance forces.
