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.

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???:

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.

RalanrAug 13, 20173 votes

Yes. Good plan.

Shadowkirby14Aug 13, 20171 votes

Agreed, let's keep them low for now, but we should still analyze the possibilities of each of these skins and the newly hinted champion.

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.

RalanrAug 13, 20172 votes

We do. But I have a weakness for kawaii.

PlacentasAug 13, 20171 votes

Ya I don't play Poppy but I do think Popstar Poppy would be adorable and hope it's real.

RalanrAug 13, 20171 votes

I bet her hammer is a micstand.

NeameanAug 14, 20171 votes

Honestly I hope it is fake because I need Project:Shen.

Jeddy017Aug 14, 20171 votes

Or it could be a similar situation as with the Star Guardian skins. Remember, only Syndra & Ezreal were a part of the original leak. There was no mention of SG skins for Ahri, MF or Soraka.

Just because we only see 2 PROJECT skins, that doesn't necessarily mean they would be the only ones we get. It's possible the Leaker miss things (if the leak is accurate in the 1st place). A PROJECT Shen could possibly come out with those 2 PROJECT skins.

NeameanAug 14, 20171 votes

The thing is there probably would be only one legendary skin and I want that legendary for Shen. Honestly I think this leak is a fake because A legendary Project: Quinn would clash with Ashe's legendary of being behind enemies line.

Valor BotAug 14, 20171 votes

Not really, I mean yeah Ashe has the 'scouting' theme with her drone but as a champion she's not really meant for infiltration; PROJECT: Quinn I feel would be more about actually moving into enemy lines by combining with Valor to turn into a flying death machine, which no other PROJECT skin can do.

NeameanAug 15, 20171 votes

It also her hood interaction thing where if she goes pass the river i materialize which further emphasis it. However I don't really remember the VO accompanying that skin but i'm guessing it would have a lot to do with that aspect of as well.

ArakadiaAug 13, 20174 votes

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

KillaburnAug 13, 20171 votes

maybe it random like the last leak(the 1st leak the one that has the start guardian,drakstar,etc) and the dragon skins may come in feb.

Jeddy017Aug 13, 20173 votes

To be fair, Taric did get his Pool Party skin soon after his update. And Fiora got her PROJECT skin about a month or 2 after her update. So it's possible. Though if it is true, I'm more interested in seeing what about new Eve makes her fit for a Dragon themed skin in 1st place. Yorick is pretty obvious how that skin could work with him.....if it is legit, which I doubt.

KlavierAug 13, 20171 votes

Fiora got her project skin because they already had in production before her rework. You can notice this because in her splash art, she has her old three part cape and in the release video, she used her old abilities.

Shadowkirby14Aug 13, 20174 votes

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, 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, Ryze, and possibly 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?

WineIsDrugOfKingAug 13, 20171 votes

About this Rumble and Viktor.. It would be Secret Boss Viktor or no? and Piltover Customs Rumble

Mecha SoldierAug 13, 20171 votes

I think that leak was confirmed fake by riot. After all, It would be weird to have both a pool party skin and star guardian skin for Ahri. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Ebonmaw DragonAug 13, 20173 votes

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

BestJhinUniverseAug 13, 20173 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.

MythPuppyAug 13, 20171 votes

damn, really? I was gettin all excited about a new rumble skin. :(

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.

RalanrAug 13, 20171 votes

An extra week?!

But I want Ornn now!

Well, it looks like we're all going have to wait a little longer to sound the Ornn Horn.

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

KillaburnAug 13, 20171 votes

twitch literally is true, i think cause e sport skins are not the same with the other skins in deelopment. to support this, last month riot inviter the fatrat, a singer. we don't know why but as to riot doing in worlds. the artist and the championship skins seems related like: imagine dargons-shyvanna S4 and zedd-zed last year.

ModAcademy KaynAug 13, 20172 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.

ADC YuumiAug 13, 20172 votes

PROJECT: Quinn? VALOR, VALOR, VALOR, VALOR, VALOR TO ME, VALOR.

LordHippomanAug 13, 20171 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.

LeyinAug 13, 20171 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

Shadowkirby14Aug 13, 20171 votes

Well Taric got his skin after his rework (Pool Party Taric), which is within the same year.

did he? okay . I think it depends on when the skin gets released

Shadowkirby14Aug 13, 20171 votes

Not to mention that Taric got his skin three months later after his rework. I'm not confirming that the leaked skins are legit, but I'm saying that it's possible that Evelynn might get one a few months later like Taric based on what we got.

you are actually, I think we have to wait for the Teaser ( guess Evelynn will come in 7.1.9 or 7.20 so September/October) I really hope that we will get a skin for her , but I wonder why Ryze, Yorick , WW , Galio and Urgot get no skin even when there are potentional themes (blood moon Yorick and WW for example)

It is also a big question about the release , it seems like they structure them in order of releases, because next patch we will get the Champion Ship skin that is very very likely , because of Fat Rat. The haunted skins for October , the project skins for September, for Winter the Snowday skins and afterthat maybe the Evelynn skin. When this skin is planned for next year there is a chance. I think we have to wait for the next patches to confirm this leak.

KillaburnAug 14, 20171 votes

i think its because eve will have a simple kit/small quantity of particle effects and with that riot can implement a skin for already (but lets wait for her vgu if its really a) because imagine project fiora too ( 1 month after her VGU release )

No Good GoblinAug 13, 20171 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)

łnśaneAug 13, 20171 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

heartseeker was rushed. The outfit if you look it up in lolking view is very weird. For example, the tights don't look like tights, they seem very thick, more like boots material, the grandma shoes are weird, the idle animations are weird with that type of skin, and it was another 975, heck even lucian got better 1350 one.

Xodiathe4bdn1Aug 13, 20171 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

KuroCaliberAug 13, 20171 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.

Kinky TaliyahAug 14, 20171 votes

If fatrat makes the worlds music I'm going to die. Also, that makes a ton of sense and I never realized that. Like how Zedd was last years music and Zed got the skin. Thank you for telling me this cx

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

GehcoAug 17, 20171 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.
