Elderwood Skins ideas

I love the Elderwood skin line and I'd love to see new Elderwood skins for junglers. Here's a list of champs I think would look great with an elderwood skin:

  1. Shyvana Shyvana Shyvana would look great with an elderwood skin. Replacing her armor with wood and using leaves for her abilities would be absolutely fantastic. Shyvana has also seen a large increase in play since she got some changes last season and the new runes work quite well with her. Not only would an elderwood Shyvana skin look amazing, but I'm sure it would sell plenty.
  2. Kindred Kindred Kindred already has elderwood concept fan art and it's gorgeous. Kindred could also use a new skin, having been quite some time since they've received one. Much like Shyvana, Kindred has received a huge boost in play recently ensuring that a new skin would likely sell well. Kindred also only has 2 skins, not leaving much choice for Kindred mains.
  3. Nami Nami Lastly, I think Nami would look great clad in leaves and flowers. Nami's abilities could be tricky to fit the theme, likely just being left as is similar to how Kindred's likely would be. I believe that Nami is a prime candidate for receiving a new skin though, and a lush, verdant motif would fit the champ nicely.

If anyone has any other ideas for champs fit for an elderwood skin, please comment below. I'd love for riot to make new elderwood skins and I'd love for this post to grab their attention.

I think Evelynn would also look quite good in the Elderwood style, nice paring of greens and blacks, thorns for her Q, I think it would look good.

Other champs I think might be nice with an elderwood skin but I'm not so confident about are Lulu, Olaf, Kayn, Morgana, and Aurelion Sol

I remember seeing an idea floating around of Elderwood Xayah and Rakan, im imagining Xayah having somewhat of a jungle camouflage look with her plants being shades of green and bits of her skin being bark, and then Rakan is this extravagantly bright pink and purple flower with a giant bloom for his hair and some smaller blooms on other portions of his body

Elderwood Nautilus in my opinion, is the most likely candidate for an elderwood skin. I can see him being designed around willow trees, as they grow in moist areas or near bodies of water.

Let's see, it seems that Elderwood skins are based on forest spirits. Bard has wisps, Hecarim is a centaur, Leblanc is a fairy.

So my candidates would be: Camille Warwick Urgot


Camille There is a well known concept out there. Camille would be based on a dryad in this case. https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/006/294/679/large/tristan-dang-1.jpg

Warwick Wolves are oftenly associated with nature spirits. Imagine Warwick being grown over with moss. His tube on the back is a tree stump. The red line for his bloodhound could be wind with some leaves.

Urgot Basically an ent, a walking tree. Walking on 6 roots. They have twigs with leaves. These leaves are the passive indicator, if he triggers a knee, he shoots with a blast of foliage.

I feel non-human champions are best fit for this skin thematic. Bard and especially Hecarim skins are beautiful while the LeBlanc skin falls short in my opinion. She is too human, fairy looking. I really like that Camille concept and the Lissandra elderwood idea though because they looks more like sentient objects not some elfish humanoids.

As someone already said Nautilus would be perfect for this skinline. Also I think that Elderwood Shyvana could be a legendary with nice effects on her W with leaves flying around, similar to Forecast Janna tornado. Also Skarner would be a fantastic idea now when I think about it.

TahmKench Gnar Nautilus Velkoz might work

There are already a support, mid, and jungle Elderwood skin out there, so I would prefer to see a top and adc round put the line. Shyv could be top, but that's not optimal for her, and while Kindred is very much a marksman, bot lane isn't ideal at all.

For top lane I would nominate Jarvan and because the poor soul hasn't had one in forever, Urgot. I think the vast contrast in the skin line and his original concept would be fun.

As for adcs, I think best options by far are Sivir and Kalista.
