Candidates for: Cosmic

As I said last week in the Dark Star discussion, we're now going to be looking at the vice versa series to that: Cosmic.

Like Dark Star, this is a relatively new(ish) series that still has potential for more candidates to add in. However, unlike Dark Star the color theme and looks are different. Dark star more or less relies on a similar color pattern of mainly blacks and purples and hints of red in the more recent editions. Cosmic on the other hand focuses more on whites, lighter blues, and gold for the most part, and a exception of a fiery red-orange with Rakan. What's more is that most of the champs have appearances, abilities, and/or VFX that form constellations of sorts and/or the more colorful, prettier side of space that we're use to seeing in images.

One final thing I guess I need to add is that the series is mostly consisted of champs that are considered "good". This is the opposite of Dark Star, which wants to consume everything in their black holes, so it makes sense that the Cosmic series are more of the good guys in this.

Current lineup consists of Kassadin MasterYi Xayah Rakan .

Like last time, if we must go buy complete team comp status and keeping the good guy theme then I really don't know who to pick for that. Seriously I was kinda stumped as to who would fit the theme and still make a team comp. The only champs that I guess I could come down to for that are Fiora mainly for her ult, Galio because his effects I could see being space themed a bit, Irelia but possibly not after her rework (we just have to use current one right now), Nasus because his E and ult could be constellation themed and or spacey, & finally Shen because god dammit he needs a new skin and I feel like it could work for him and still be in theme.

That is only if we're going by team comp and keeping in theme with the good guy look. If we're mainly going with whoever would look cool or interesting in the theme, then my choices would come down to Ekko Bard Illaoi Ryze Sion Xerath (yes I listed him in DS too, but either one could work when you think about it) and maybe Leona Diana Pantheon Taric (kinda stretching that for those 4 though).

Anyways, what are your thoughts on the Cosmic line? (and please don't mention Sol, that would just be redundant)

_Stay on the lookout next week as we celebrate with the 10th installment of this series (which is quite an accomplishment for me to keep that up) and for that you can vote which series I'll be featuring next. Just chose below. _

(Note: Last option is for single skins that maybe should be turned into a series or series that doesn't have enough skin in it yet to count as series)

I would see Sion fit for the Dark Star line instead of the cosmic, because all his skills would look way better on black and purple, and he has a soul harvesting mechanic (the passive infinite hp stack), that is more in order with the Dark Star usual motivation, same as Nasus , but Nasus already has a galactic skin, so a cosmic one might be too much

Also I find an alarming lack of Cosmic Reaper Kayn (Neutron Star Assassin and Dark Star Rhaast) and Dark Star Ivern on that list

If we leave out the good guy part and just added weapon masters, cosmic Dagger/Dirk Talon , Cosmic Sword Kayle /Dark Star Morgana , and Cosmic Spear Kalista might also work
