Choose the Next Illaoi Skin - Nexus

I really love this vote on Illaoi. It allows us players to give more input on furture products while also giving us some hype!

Riot please do more skin votes in the future!

######honestly it would increase your profit since you'll be finding out which skin's people will actually buy

#GO TEAM DEEP SPACE

######I love Adventurer too, but goddamn space themes are so cool

I think it's kind of nice to see this. It's kind of similar to how we voted on Diana gaining the Fire skin in 2015 that she received in 2016. This time though, we are actually choosing from a few different themes rather than a team winning that makes the theme.

I would like to see more of these, but I think it only fits for when a champion hasn't gotten something in a while (i.e Illaoi). So, if there are other champs that don't get something new for an extended period of time then I think they should look into giving us a vote on various ideas they've had and see what the community really wants.

GO TEAM ADVENTURER!

We Haven't gotten a Shaco skin in a while maybe him next? Maybe not since kind of in need of a re-work, but I can hope! :)

yeh i think shaco has tons of potential for a skin, i reckon elf Shaco could be good for a skin other than that he has SO many possibilities

Exactly. This was a clear case of "this champ needs a skin. Let's find her a skin." I won't expect them to come up with 'vote your next Ahri skin'.

Ahah! Not true my friend! We were literally staring at a bunch of directions for her and decided the timing was juuuuuust right to hold a vote, something we've all wanted to do for a very long time. This is a BIT of an experiment, and judging on how well this event is received, we'd love to do more skin votes in the future.

In fact, a counter point to your Ahri example is that - let's be real - Ahri's got skins for days and the thematics in them cover a lot of ground. It'd probably even more valuable to hold a vote on a super popular champ with lots of skins to see what else is interesting to players. So hang in there, keep that feedback coming, and let's make something dope!

Okay, then I vote pool party Ahri!

Definately not Ahri where it's actually another champ.

So, the skin name would be something like, Actually Totally 100% Ahri, am I right?

IMO its gunna be kinda sad to see that only one of these would be made, and if you had a preference and that doesn't go through vs. the other options you may be very disappointed.

Also I'm very shocked the skin wasn't in development already yet. They're now just looking at ideas...

Valor Bot20 votes

I think it’s possible they tried other skin concepts for Illaoi before these, but had them iceboxed due to not working out. Skins get canceled all the time in development.

even in prduction as well. Remember sewn chaos blitz and amumu?

Retrauk14 votes

I absolutely love Riot for giving us options! I absolutely hate that all three options are fantastic and I want to see all three game now.

That said, team Adventurer. I love the entire aesthetic of it. (My love of Spelunky definitely has nothing to do with that. >.>)

The deep space skin could have been a holloween skin.

[zombie-nunu-bummed] That being said I voted for deep space.... despite the fact i'd want to see the splash art for adventure.... for research purposes....

Tough choice, though I chose Deep Space anyways. Battlecast and Adventurer....Tits!

Deep Space looks cool af to me and gives her quote "the vortex is all" a new meaning, overall matching her theme a little more than the others, imo. Seeing as this is just the beginning I look forward to riot changing the only problem which I find to be her face.

Battlecast is interesting but it goes off-course as she's supposed to be a priestess who brought a god to the battlefield while the skin makes it more like she just brought a bunch of tech that's somehow grabbing ass from the other side of the map. Intersting but very 'meh' to me.

Arguably the worst and best visually is Adventurer. This one focus' on Illaoi's body specifically her breasts and legs, which I am all for (sure she's supposed to be one of the less-sexy champs but as a legs-hips-ass-man Riot failed against me). While I like the model, the tentacles are pretty lackluster. Illaoi's base skin already uses a similar shade of green, at least the other two change color.

I'd say Deep Space or Dunk Master, but more so deep space.

i really like adventurer one

or maybe is just a hoax and they are releasing all 3 of them at the same time who knows

Daunt3 votes

I actually wouldn't opt for this way of making skins unless they really can't find a theme that they think will work the best. It sucks since you won't get all 3 while some people may think the other two concepts are good or better than the picked skin. Especially if you are a main of the champion getting the skin. Sometimes it might be better to not let players know of some concepts that didn't work out to avoid disappointment. Also, from an artists point of view the skin might not be as creative as it could with some other themes since you just get a concept shoved up your throat.

Team Battlecast? Anyone? :)

If Battlecast doesn't win, I hope at least Adventurer does.

D2Vincent2 votes

I voted for battlecast myself even tho I don't play Illaoi mostly because I like robots :P

That being said, I'd love to see a similar vote for a Karthus skin. Yeah, he got a skin a year ago but considering he's one of the oldest characters in the game, I'd kinda like a slightly larger variety of skins for him :P (maybe when he eventually gets his Splash Arts updated? :P )

Ironically someone asked me why I didn't use her Void skin and I said "I'm waiting for the next skin"

He told me they would never release it. TAKE THAT RANDOM GUY FROM MY GAME!

I gotta go battlecast. I've got a strange obsession with Viktor, and all things robot.

Tesla Effect2 votes

Voted for Deep Space one because it has been a long time since an Astronaut skin was released and seems like the most plausable to be transfered the best in gameplay form. Story concepts revolving the Battlecast and Adventurer that were pitched dont fit for Illaoi that much (mostly Adventurer) or Illaoi doesnt fit within the thematic cohesion of the skin theme (mostly Battlecast). Deep Space Illaoi adds to the Austornaut skin theme that we havent had before and thats the inclusion of the unknown horrors of space that arent in obvious flashy purple (Void and Dark Star for example).

ThatHaleState2 votes

It feels more lazy than a step forward. Riot has been able to nail high quality skins in groups in the past, so why ask now? Feels more like they don't want to waste creative time and instead let us vote a champ they have to get a skin out for. Illaoi is on that list people complain about, so they are just like "hey, pick something so y'all can shut up about it" instead of creatively debating and studying what would be best for Illaoi and her minuscule player-base

Cynicatt2 votes

Honestly, will they ever hear the end of people complaining about one of the skins that didn't win not being made? It seems like an open invitation for people to complain.

Silvarspark2 votes

Isnt Battlecast usually full metal ? If you make it half and half, you might better go for a Dreadnova skin, right? The Deep Space skin is rather boring to me. Adventurer, while also not too exciting, shows potential for other skins in that line, has the best tentacles of the 3 and looks okay.

Chembaron Yamada2 votes

Battlecast Illaoi is supposed to be a cyborg, not completely robot. She managed to prevent the transformation and is now a rebel to Viktor's plan to turn everyone in machines.

She will probably get another name than Battlecast, they said the names are not final. It was just to show in which skin universe that skin belongs in.

Yes. Riot more votes, please.

I don't know how I feel about skin votes because people can get really excited for one skin and then become disappointed when the skin the really wanted didn't make it. It is the same thing with the sewn chaos ammumu blitz. I got excited for the blitz and wanted to buy it after seeing it, but it got shelved.

They didn't make the models yet, the pictures provided are just drawn at an angle similar to what you'd see in-game.

It's concept art not actual models I believe

I hope they don't. It'd be painful to see skin options for champions I really like not get chosen and even more painful to have the votes skewed by people who don't even play the champ or plan to buy the skin.
