What skin concepts do you think don't match with their respective champions?

Alright guys, tell me what skins you think are completely rediculous and don't fit their respective champion's themes.

I personally think Void Fizz and Atlantean Syndra are awful skins. They look great but they dont match. What skins do you guys think dont match?

Isn't that the point of some skins though?

Yeah, to a point. The pool party skins etc are more novelty. I mean skins like the ones I listed (975 and up) Another example would be Elderwood LeBlanc and Hecarim, I think that theme would fit Zyra much better. As for Syndra, her theme is Power, and doing anything she can to make sure she maintains her sovereignty. Don't get me wrong, Atlantean Syndra is a beautiful skin, it just feels underwhelming and...doesn't fit her. Riot should have given her a pool party skin instead.

And how can she be "Queen of Diamonds", if she manipulates spheres?

But where is the point in Elderwood Zyra? Thats as if you've made fire mage brand or gravedigger yorick,its like you give the champ a skin that is shaped like the champ him/herself

I see what youre saying, but instead of having pollen flow through her, she is made of bark and grows trees...the idea looks better in my mind :P

Riot has stated that concepts that are so close to the original concept of the champion don't sell well. This is why they wont make things like Elderwood Zyra

Warden Karma in my opinion. Doesn't suit her, looks awful...

(Sorry if it's someone's favorite skin, I personally don't like it at all).

The only reason that makes sense to me because a warden guards and protects. Karma is an Elder of Ionia, protecting her country is her duty.

You do realize skins show champions from a different time or continuity right?

Void Fizz is a "what if Fizz was influenced by the Void" skin, but he is still a playfull trickster (albeit more twisted) Atlantean Syndra still is a powerful sovereigns, but in this continuity manipulates water instead of dark spheres. Queen of Diamonds shows Syndra in a "cardthemed world" (think wonderlands queen of hearts) it's just her title and not her role (though they could have replaced the spheres with diamonds) Elderwood LB still is a illusionary trickster, because now she is a fairy queen Elderwood Hecarim still is a devastating warrior, but instead of fighting for the shadow isles he fights for nature

All of these skins fit their respective champions themes

The only skins that don't fit a champions theme are joke skins like "definetly not" "Baker" "Pool Party", but that's kinda the point of a joke skin.

I understand that a little better now. I never thought of it that way. I understood the concept/title of Queen of Diamonds. I guess I just wanted something a little more...like a cosmic reaver Syndra. Where she has reached her full potential and has become a god-like being, creating explosive stars and manipulating them.

And who is to say she won't get something like that in the future? none of her current skins would stand in the way of it. The fact remains that unlike you claim none of her or any other skins I know about take a champion and put him into a skin that doesn't make sense, unless it's a fun skin, but those never make sense.

I didn't expect so many downvotes I never thought of it that way

Well you yourself already admitted that you didn't fully understand what you were talking about. Getting downvoted makes sense.

Well you yourself already admitted that you didn't really understand what you were talking about. Getting downvoted for it only makes sense.

I simply stated I understood your point of view. Not that I didnt know what I was talking about.

Okay maybe wrong choice of words: You didn't fully understand it and represented a point of view that not everyone aggrees with so it makes sense you got downvoted. If you understood my pov you should realize that your claim that these skins don't represent the champion are wrong, to some extent.
