POPSTAR POPPY.

OH. MY. GOD.

I don't know whether to feel hyped or furious at this concept. On one hand, I prefer Poppy the soldier:

But on the other hand: OH MY GOD SHE IS SO KAWAII!!!!!

#I AM SO CONFLICTED!!!!!!

But in all honest it's probably fake.

All of those skins sound pretty plausible, but let's keep expectations low for now, at least until one of them is announced or Riot debunks the whole thing.

Welp. Another year without Pengquinn. I'll be back in 2019. ######(Really tho. I don't want any skins for Quinn until she gets a rework or gets reverted)

And dang... Didn't know you were a weeblord.

Believer Taliyah???:

Unnff, Project Quinn <3 Please please please be real

But definitely odd Poppy would get another "girly" skin after having gotten SG.

I would figure her fans want more brutal skins.

So, let's analyze each skin and see any potential from them. Remember, none of the skins are confirmed (yet) so spare me the rebuttal, fake or not, but I want to see if they can potentially become actual skins.

  • Haunting Sol: Aurelion Sol hasn't had a skin since his launch last year. So, what can a Harrowing skin can benefit for our space dragon? Seeing how the Haunting skinline are based on the corruption of the Ruination (Haunted Zyra and Haunted Maokai), I can see Haunting Sol as a massive, undead dragon that's oozing the black mist. The stars would be replaced with souls circling around him, the galaxy would be an amalgamation of the mist, Comet of Legend would have the Black Mist trailing off of him, and Voice of Light is a massive burst of deathfire.

  • Headless Kalista: She would be similar to Headless Hecarim, but either have a pumpkin head, or be ACTUALLY headless. Probably a 975 RP Legacy skin.

  • PROJECT: Quinn (Legendary): Okay, this has been one of the most requested PROJECT skins so far. If this turns out to be true, I'd like to see how Riot will interpret Quinn and Valor in this.

  • PROJECT: Diana: Finally a skin for Diana besides Infernal Diana, but again, none of these skins are confirmed yet, so don't get your hopes up, Diana mains. The perfect antithesis of PROJECT: Leona, but will she side with the bad PROJECTS like Zed and Katarina, or be an exile like Yasuo?

  • Championship Twitch: This is pretty much a guaranteed skin for Twitch considering that Riot has hired FatRat to play for this year's Worlds. We know that he just got an Omega Squad skin, but it's probably an opportunity Riot can't surpass. Can you imagine how many threads would be made by a bunch of angry Twitch mains? I rather have this skin be a reality than another controversial topic.

  • Popstar Poppy (Legendary): This is where I start scratching my head. How can you utilize the Popstar skin on Poppy, an adorably clueless tanky yordle with a hammer that can decimate a mountain? Will our beloved Poppy sing? Is she actually a great singer or is she obliviously tone-deaf? Will her hammer become a massive mic stand?

  • Snow Day Illaoi: This could have potential, though I don't know how her tentacles will come into play. I can imagine her carrying a large Poro in place of her Eye of God, or a shiny ornament.

  • Snow Day Viktor: Finally a skin for our misunderstood, Nikola Tesla-inspired Zaunite scientist, but... how will it all work for him? How will this thematic work for Viktor's kit? Hmm...

  • Snow Day Rumble: Now this skin makes sense for Rumble riding a mechanized snow plow, but I wonder how it'll execute in the long run? Might as well wait until Christmas time!

  • Dragon Mistress Evelynn: HOLD IT! deep breath Let me explain. First off, Evelynn's rework hasn't been released yet, so we have no idea how she'll look like in the long run. Second, there's a possibility that it MIGHT work for Evelynn. Do you wanna know how? What if I told you that there's a dragon that can actually camouflage like chameleons? It might make sense, plus it's a new theme to break away from the standard dragon archetype. We all know our dragons, but we've never considered a cloaking dragon before, so this might work. And finally third; remember Taric's rework? He received his rework early April in 2016 and a few months later he finally received a Pool Party skin, which was released in early July. So that's three months later! With this kind of evidence, Evelynn might get this skin a few months later after her rework, or longer, possibly some time around early or mid 2018.

  • Dragon Sorcerer Yorick: After six long years, he might potentially get a skin. Six years, that's a very long time, and being left dry from having a refreshing skin for that extended period of time must be excruciating! He's overdue for a skin, and in need of an exceptionally high-quality skin to make up for that massive time gap. One question, how will this skin thematic work on Yorick? Well, as a Dragon Sorcerer, he might have the abilities to summon dragons and conjure flames at will. Having whelps as Mist Walkers, engulfing his spade in flames, hobbling a ball of fire, and summoning a motherfucking dragon as the Maiden. Dunno how they'll execute the wall though... Please Riot, if the leaks are true, don't let this be your greatest disappointment to a skin-starved champion! This isn't Ahri, Ezreal, or Annie, this is goddamn Yorick, and he deserves your time and respect!

  • Believer Taliyah: This one's new and a bit perplexing. Considering that this is a new skin for Taliyah, one must know what is Believer? Is it an Arclight skin? Is it a tribal-themed skin? Is it a new skinline? What is it? Who knows, maybe Believer serves as a placeholder for something else.

  • Snow Day Castle: Now this looks interesting, but I wonder how this will work out? So far, this is the only leak that has ever mentioned a PVP mode unlike the past two leaks (one real, one fake). Nothing much we know about it yet, except that it might take Legend of the Poro King's place as a holiday-exclusive event.

  • NEW CHAMPION: This one has already given vibes of Kayn Kayn, but instead of a Darkin scythe, it goes down the "Split" road. With the new effects system and the success of transforming champions like Kayn, I believe they want to go a step further. Either his R has him lose his sanity to become his other personality or have his insanity be transported to another champion? Also a Tekken-based champion that utilizes combos? The only champions that comes to mind are Riven Riven, Ryze Ryze, and possibly Vi Vi. What kind of combos will this champion have? Is it simple button mashing or having it more arcade-like like something from Mortal Kombat, Soul Calibur, Street Fighter, etc. in which you combine abilities to create new and stronger moves and/or abilities?

Big thing that makes me feel like its fake is that Eve is getting a skin RIGHT after she gets reworked or right before.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, I'm not sure about this one guys. On one hand, skins for Poppy, Yorick & Diana. On the other, Bullshit. (Ew, I'm going to need to wash after that) That's all I get from this leak.

Regardless, we won't know for sure for at least 3 weeks. Apparently we're going to be on the current patch for an extra week.

BestJhinUniverse8/13/2017, 5:52:23 AM3 votes

Jokes on you kids, they just tossed the names you want on the code but really each of those skins are for ahri and ezreal alternating down the list.

Ebonmaw Dragon8/13/2017, 2:48:54 AM3 votes

New skins for Viktor AND Rumble in the same patch? Must be fake.

AFilthyCaitMain8/13/2017, 5:36:24 AM2 votes

Its fake. An eve skin even after her vgu, twitch literally just got a skin, wtf is believer taliyah, overall makes no sense.

ModAcademy Kayn8/13/2017, 7:49:34 AM2 votes

That looks extremely fake. Not only does it checkmark off every champion that hasn't had a skin in a very long time, but it also takes the idea of a fairly popular idea from that Thread of suggesting types of characters people want. As much as I'm willing to give Riot the benefit of the doubt, I highly doubt they could manage getting each and every skinless champion.

Gehco8/17/2017, 3:03:49 PM1 votes

give me 1 good reason why riot would give Quinn a "Legendary?" What financial benefit will they have from making a Legendary for her? She is neither popular nor played, she is not even present in esports.

Ashe was popular, played and is still popular and played, not only in soloq, but in esports as well. Giving ashe a legendary totally made sense. Because popularity means profit.

LordHippoman8/13/2017, 5:43:29 AM1 votes

I'm not super confident in this one, if just for the fact that giving two other champs "Dragonmaster" skins before Swain might give people a heart attack.

Leyin8/13/2017, 6:52:23 AM1 votes

I think most of them are fake, specially that Evelynn will get one short after her VGU, but I think giving Twitch a championship skin us very likely

No Good Goblin8/13/2017, 7:01:55 AM1 votes

Just like Star Guardian Poppy, I will be waiting in agony to see if Popstar Poppy is true. I can't wait. I am just going to smile randomly through out the day for like weeks just like the SG Poppy leak. I hope these are real, they are all awesome. (But Popstar Poppy the most awesome)

łnśane8/13/2017, 7:48:20 AM1 votes

Another......Marksman....gets..a..Legendary skin....

P.s I'm not hating on Quinn getting a skin, that's awesome! I was actually one of the people begging for a project Quinn (along with Shen). I don't care that it's Legendary more power to quinn, maybe i'll pick her up again with this new skin, but holy **** am I pissed that MF gets another skin that's not Legendary, . Ughhh I knew i was going 2 regret being happy she got another skin*[slayer-jinx-unamused]*

Then again this could be wrong....but...I doubt it

Xodiathe4bdn18/13/2017, 9:56:23 AM1 votes

Yeeeeeeaah NO Faker than reality tv I say this because some champions would then have too short of a gap between the last time they had skins

Prime Example 1: championship twitch His past skin was less than half a month ago and championships skins are released between September and October. it would make his skin gap the shortest in history and would no doubt lead to people ranting like crazy over it . More so than they did over star guardian Ezreal Ahri

Example 2 and 3: project Quinn and Diana Very doubtful considering both have received a heartseeker and blood moon skin respectively.

It's a shame though I'd kill to see dragon mistress Evelynn and headless kalista

KuroCaliber8/13/2017, 4:07:40 PM1 votes

Here's something to chew on. You know how to tries to make the championship soon reflect the artist who does the world's song, well championship twitch is really likely because they've been rumored to have quietly invited the Fatrat to riot hq, and this was weeks before this leak was announced.

I mean, it's possible considering the lack of quality on the SG Poppy.

Isaberry8/14/2017, 7:57:37 PM1 votes

Oh come on... I was already... ehm... confused about Star Guardian Poppy but... It was still OK. I'm really glad to see new Poppy skin and very happy to see Legendary skin for her, but... really?! Why the hell... it is one and the only skin theme I was really wish to never see (Pop Star)... It's not fair :C And wtf about that championship Twitch, it supposed to be Poppy there Q_Q
