I think the Star Guardian skinline need an opposing skinline

As that theme is very popular with the playerbase, I'd not be surprised if Riot made more of these skins - and why the hell not, it is a nice theme ^^

However, the magical girl thing is pretty much a variation of the superhero-trope. And what are heroes without someone opposing them? What would Batman be without the Joker? Superman without Lex Luthor? Spider-Man without the Green Goblin? Or Iron man without... uhh... ok he has no cool villains I guess. But that explains why his stand-alone films are mostly worse than those of other heroes!

Ofc those villains need to be completly clicheed and over the top like magical girl trope is. I vote for something totally weird like "Dark Star Crusher", "Darkness Overlords" or something else down that road - the cringier the better!

I concur.

Maybe an evil Janna? Since they are both Mage/Support hybrids.

Or should it be a dude? Viktor? - Well, he's a dude with a shield, and could use the popularity boost that a fancy skin would give.

Well, there is Pentakill Sona, another Mage/Support hybrid. Another Sona skin could work. We have a couple Katarina skins that are similar to eachother, Bilgewater and High Command, so I think another evil Sona skin would work great. She does have a lot of skins but I guess it's because she's popular, might as well have some more.

Well, as Star Guardion is magical girl themed, the champs who get those skins will most likely be female.

Having the other skinline consist of male champions wouldn't be bad. How about an evil Ezreal? He's already THE anime boy of league after all - Varus could work as well! Of course it's not limited to male champions: Lissandra would be an interesting choice too. She already has the laugh of every Shojo-anime-villain. ^^

Oh yeah, Ezreal is a great candidate. Not sure why I didn't think of him. I'm not sure about Varus but his evil-looking skins are a bit on the low count so I wouldn't be opposed to it. Lissandra seems like it fits her character pretty good like Viktor so that'll probably work out great.

It would be like... an evil debonair skin for him. Black Suit, maybe a red tint for the particles (so it looks like blood or something), and you're good to go :D

Is that about Ezreal or Varus?

Why not both? :P

Well, I mean I am confused since... I guess it just seems like it's not very spacey...weren't you shooting much higher than this?

Or I suppose you must have meant in addition to the whole space villain stuff?

For Varus... I mean if they pull it off for Cho'Gath... they can do it for him, too. Personally I think it's ridiculous but the fact is that there is a precedent. Not sure how others would feel but I'd personally rather see a Gnar Debonair skin. For Ezreal it seems like it would fit his character more...so maybe that's a reason to NOT do it? He's not enough of a monster to make it ridiculous?

That's because the debonair skins lack a) particle effects and b.) do not look cartoonishly evil. Also, that was just a random idea, but I think going with "fancy evil suit" would make a nice contrast to the hero-costumes of star-guardian ^^

I assumed Star Reaver was the opposing one (even though SR Kassa seem on the good side too).

Let the discussion commence in style! rubs hands

I agree that the opposing team will have to be as pretty and flamboyant as the Star Guardians themselves are, really. Perhaps more sexy.

Honestly, many characters could fit for both teams, uh-oh w;;;;

New Taric would be a prime candidate, but he already has Armor of the Fifth age <_<

Also, he already IS a Star Guardian in his lore xD

Star Guardian Poppy would be awesome (mostly because of the twirrling hammer animation)

Syndra would be fitting for both sides... Lissandra would make an awesome villain (especially with that laugh).

Ezreal, Varus, Ekko and Vladimir could make some nice bishie villains xD

MarbelaraApr 19, 20162 votes

Vladimir oh boy yes. Let's not forget Zyra! She's a mean sexy lady in her own right. LB also fits.

I like how it's almost impossible to go wrong in this skinline. Take bad ladies and make them bad ladies? Mmmmmm. Make them into positive characters? MMM mmmm Make the cute gals cuter? Oh yes pls! Make the cute gals wicked and clever???! !!!!

Same for the boys <3

You can also take a huge man like Tryndamere and Garen and fit them into the skirty-skirts. It will still be awesome.

Genderbender/Crossdress Skins will sadly never happen, no matter how hilarous it will be. If I remember correctly there is a magical girl parody-anime called "Ore wa Zombie wa desu ka?!" you might want to check out where a dude accidentally steals the power of a magical girl (and he is a zombie btw and lives together with a cute little mute girl who is death personified). However, he now has to take over the magical girl job - including dress, mandatory shitty fanservice and using a magical talking weapon (a chainsaw).

It was the most random and funniest shit I have ever watched.

I still wait for a French Maid Rengar and Battlebunny Talon skins <_<

However, a pretty skin for Vladimir... I'm not sure if the game could handle it. I mean, Academy Vlad is already... but a really FABULOUS skin? I'd pay a ton of RP for that!
