"Other Music Inspired Skins"

I'm assuming this means other genres aswell? or atleast i hope it does. I figured this could be a good time to think about what we want to see from riot.

The obvious ones are gonna be Pentakill and K/DA. These skinlines are far too popular to discontinue, however they might become overpopulated for the kind of music groups they are. And i doubt it's the only 2 genres the community listens to, i for one don't really care for either.

So i'd like to ask you all the question: What Genre do you want to see? are there any champs you'd like to be in a skinline of a certain genre?

Personally i'd like some Punk skins. Vandal twitch is easily one of my favourite skins in the game. I'd love to see similar skins for Jinx, Ekko and Ezreal. While i can agree that Jinx and ekko's base design shares some similarities with punk already i think it'd still be cool seeing them lean into the genre more. Ezreal could easily fit into a more 90's punkrock or skatepunk aesthetic and i really think it would be a nice break from his current skins that are all a bit more flamboyant i guess, idk how to put it exactly. you could even fit these into the vandal(wasteland) universe if you wanted, plenty of "raiders" in other media share similarities with certain punk subgenres.

The one music skin i want most of all though is Ska Teemo. I can just imagine him hopping around on the rift in a little suit and hat with his little trumpet. I've had this skin in my head for ages now. To accompany him i obviously have to mention bard for this skinline. sadly it'd clash with bard bard, but i still think it'd be different enough.

Music inspired skins: What about classical/orchestral type music skins? Or skins based on music instruments? Like Violinist Fiora, Pianist Braum or Trumpeter Teemo, etc. Musicians skins that uses the instrument for the SFX of the champ. They don't necessarily have to use the instrument as a weapon, but it should influence their designs & abilities. Just food for thought. ...... ...... ..... Yeah, I'm mostly joking here. I just said it to be different. I know most people are going to think of music skins in the same vein as Pentakill or K/DA. I doubt more...um...classical music skins would be as profitable as Pentakill or K/DA.

There's so many genres of rock, I feel like they barely scratched the surface with metal. I'd love some glamour rock skins, those could be fun.

Or maybe some acid jazz.

Ska Teemo sounds adorable lmfao, some horn blasts and guitar riff when you hit a shroom.

Tbh I will be happy with just about any genre they test out. Music inspired skins are great and I love when League puts out new music.

Finish Emumu, maybe?

He's got Trist, Teemo, and Poppy in his splash with him. I feel like they should be the next band.

I'd love to see them make a good Prog-Rock group (like Pink Floyd), or a good electric group (like Daft Punk). I'd just be worried they wouldn't do the genres I actually like any justice.
