A few suggestions for future Kayn and Rhaast skins

Honestly, Kayn is one of my favorite champions in the game currently, he just makes jungle fun for me and I love it, and so with 28+ hours of Kayn experience within the last 4 days from spamming him to force me to right my sleep schedule and a bit of time in the bath just thinking I've come up with a few ideas for skins that would make Kayn, Rhaast, and Kayn again all look really cool, so here they are.

#1: Demon Kayn and Justicar Rhaast Hey, y'know how Vi's the only one with a plain ol' demon skin and Aatrox is the only one with Justicar? Well what if you guys used them as a way to put Kayn and Rhaast so heavily opposed that it's like Dawnbringer Riven and Nightbringer Yasuo all over again? I mean, you certainly don't see a hallowed sentient weapon threatening to take over a demonic host very often.

#2: Sandstorm Kayn and Guardian of the Sands Rhaast Just imagine it, a pool of cursed blackened sand forming below Kayn and dragging him under before Rhaast rises up in his place in full armor possessing Kayn's mummified corpse or a bright magic sandstorm lifting the scythe into the air before flowing into it and overpowering the dark presence within. Particle effects may just be dark yellow, regular yellow, and bright yellow, but hey, there's no rule against similar coloration between them. (at least as far as I know.)

#3: Arcade Kayn and Battle Boss Rhaast I think this is kind of self explanatory, another excuse to jam as many references as possible into not just one but three designs, all in one champion.

#4: Cosmic Kayn and Dark Star Rhaast A being like Aurelion being consumed by the weapon of a Dark Star champion and corrupted into another Dark Star champion, or said Dark Star weapon being overpowered and turned into one of brilliant energy.

#5: ??? Kayn and Void Rhaast Couldn't really decide on a good theme to act as a good companion to a void Rhaast, but hey, guess that just leaves something open for you guys to have fun with.

#6: Reverse Kayn and Reverse Rhaast Of course, with these two being so heavily intertwined, beyond the point of Annie and Tibbers, and with both of them having such distinct design possibilities if swapped, I just had to put this here. Imagine if Shadow Assassin let loose a blue Darkin obsessed with picking off just the right person to cause carnage on the battlefield, or if Rhaast was a heavy hitting frontliner from the Order of Shadows out to upstage his master (possibly Shen.) and take over the whole order. Out of all the skins I've suggested this is the one that I hope is a legendary, changing their backgrounds so heavy would be great for just seriously screwing around with how they interact and giving them different things to say about eachother would be a great way to show it off, also the least necessary for this one to be a legendary skin though, as many of their default voice lines would work just as well, honestly you might only need to replace a few and add some distortion to make it work with this one and no one would notice because it would just be so fun.

Anyways, yeah, that's my ideas for Kayn and Rhaast to get some fun new looks that the art team would probably have a blast making, if I gave you some good ideas or something that's great, but yeah, good job on Kayn and Rhaast, and keep up the good work. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

The thing about Kayn skins, they aren't 2 in one, rather 1 in 2 forms. Example his Soulhunter skin, their different versions of a Soulhunter, even if Rhaast looks like he could pass for an 'underworld skin'. Otherwise Kayn skins would be crazy expensive. 2 and 4 I could see working out, but they'd be under one name. Guardian of the sands Kayn and Cosmic Reaper Kayn perhaps?

There's Justicar Syndra

Could be Icathian Kayn and Void Rhaast

There's been talk of maybe PROJECT Kayn and Battlecast Rhaast, which I can totally see working and being bad-ass (maybe even a legendary), there's the constantly talked about Candy Kayn skin, which could be interpreted as Christmas/Snowdown or Candy Kingdom themed, but another theme I think could work would be Warden Kayn/ Marauder Rhaast. Kayn would feel kind of misplaced in Warden i know but if they can put Nautilus and Sivir in there (who aren't the nicest of champs in lore) why not Kayn. And be honest, Rhaast would fit perfectly in Marauder, just imagine it.

In your ideas: 1 is possible but kind of off putting since Rhaast is more murder happy than Aatrox who has a bit calmer tone to him, 2 I could see working as with 3 (given a good appearance separation), 4 makes perfect sense, 5 needs work on Kayns option, and 6...maybe not.
