Given the current positions of the current ultimate skins (SG Udyr = JG, PF Ezreal = ADC, DJ Sona = Supp and now Elemental Lux = Mid), is it the general idea that the Ultimate skin afterward is gonna go to a top lane champ and then the entire cycle will reset?
Just wondering so I can accommodate for my Full Metal Karthus concept XP
It's possible. All that can be said so far is it will be an older champion who
A. Is from 2009/2010 (as the current 4 are) B. Doesn't already have a legendary skin (as none of them do either)
So that's just some of what I've picked up from seeing the previous skins.
Most likely. Though, it isn't a definite possibility.
Ultimate skins are born from ideas that are so easy to visualize, Riot can just let loose, and test everything they have within their arsenal. Pulsefire Ezreal is really the only one that doesn't follow this, but, he was the first one, so...
However, given that the skins team REALLY likes to release skin lines that have a full team comp, I'm 95% certain the next ultimate will go to a top laner.
I'm pretty sure it's merely a coincidence.
Riot choose to make skins, most of the time, based on the opportunity for a really cool theme, that the team is passionate about, on a champion.
For (an over-exaggerated) example: Let's say they have an amazing idea for an Ultimate skin for SORAKA- a champion with strong orientation towards the Support role. The team is incredibly passionate about this idea. They feel like they're onto something big and awesome, involving unbelievable new tech that will make the frequency of "PLEASE UPDATE PULSEFIRE EZREAL" threads go up by 500%!
But then, they suddenly remember how the last four Ultimate skins were for a Bot-lane-oriented Marksman/ADC, a Jungle-oriented Juggernaut, a Support-oriented Enchantress and a Mid-laning Burst Mage. And, you know, Soraka is a Support-oriented Enchantress as well...
So, let's say they'd then decide to start looking for a new champion- someone who usually goes Top- but they're still super passionate about that Soraka Ultimate skin idea. They're making concepts, discussing, but none of the new ideas are as awesome as the Soraka one.
So, would the fact that there was no Top-laner amongst the current four Ultimate skins stop them from making another one for champions that are usually played in the other four positions? I'm almost certain it wouldn't. Especially if it's one that awesome. :P
######Obviously, this example might be/is over-exaggerated, as I previously mentioned, but those things are often what drives new skins- Passion and excitment, for the most part, so I had to show it. ######Also, it's not that I mind an Ultimate skin for a Top-laner, of course. If it's awesome, I'd actually be pretty excited for it, too.
probably
Implying Sona isn't a mid laner and Lux isn't a support. Psh. (jk jk)
But honestly, the next ultimate will probably be a top laner.
