You know who would be a perfect candidate for Chromas?

Basic Zyra model. She's a plant, those are colored in countless beautiful ways.

Here I made just a few and with a terrible technique, but it's enough for my presentation:

Night forest Desert Tale swamp Basic


Edit: The title is a catcher, this post is about Zyra, don't be like Rito and let her have a little spotlight!!! ZYRA ZYRA ZYRA ZYRA ZYRA Zyra Zyra Zyra Zyra Zyra

Couldn't agree more.

I've also wanted chromas for Vanilla Taric, but in truth, chromas for ANY of his skins would work fine. Armor of the Fifth Age chromas would likely be especially popular (since that's the must-have Taric skin).

But that would mean his armor would not be pink

macromite11 votes

who said that?

hot pink taric, bubblegum pink taric, rosewood pink taric, salmon pink taric, fuscia pink taric.

ModKnightsKemplar2 votes

lmao I'm all for it. I was going to say something about it being rather tragic that he won't be pink anymore, and that's true.

BUT, don't you want a rainbow assortment for Taric's chocies? Isn't that equally appropriate?

50 shades of pink

Naqel6 votes

"50 shades of gay" has a nicer ring to it.

Considering chromas tend to have names like "amethyst" and other gem names it makes a ton of sense too.

They said they don't make chromas for Classic skins anymore but i'm sure her skins are great candidates too.

Yadid11 votes

I woulda been fine if they kept making chroma's for classics. Really adds flavor for the base imo. I understand it's more of an incentive to buy skins with chromas tho.

rtbf2256182416 votes

Yeah well...what's the point if you can unlock Chromas for free basically.

Damn business strats!

NineTailedMystic5 votes

Why not a Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter theme?

An Undead brat3 votes

That's reserved for the 4 seasons ultimate skin she's going to have.

SHE IS GOING TO HAVE

NineTailedMystic1 votes

I feel like it might overlap with Elementalist Lux a little bit if it were an ultimate, but I don't think she shouldn't get it at some point.

An Undead brat2 votes

Well that's like saying we can't have SG Soraka because she overlaps with SG Lulu

Kosm1K1 votes

Ultimate skins are supposed to be unique, at least until they added pf cait

PaladinNO1 votes

:O

What I just read:

SHE IS GOING TO HAVE [an ultimate skin], OR ELSE

Ash makes for good fertilizer for plants. I can tell you're a practical one. ;)

since when was ivern a girl?

Winterkill3 votes

Why would they do that though? It's so much better to create a Pool Party Jinx skin and release six chromas for that.

Krabohod1 votes

It's so much better to create a Pool Party Ahri skin and release six chromas for that.

FTFY

LankPants3 votes

Pink Rose Zyra, please.

I'm also pretty sure that a set of Frostblade Irelia chromas would print money more than any other skin, if I were Riot that's definitely one I'd be looking at, it just has a lot of ...appeal.

Zyranium2 votes

I love it ! I would buy the desert one, so beautiful ! Personally I think they have to keep it until they make an ultimate skin on her, you know 4 season ? It's basically the same idea.

But yeah, I love it !

A white petal one would be nice.

Wyrmblade2 votes

I think out of all champions Rek'sai would probably get some of the best value out of base chromas. Especially if they add patterns. You could make her look like a natural shuriman animal, a lobster or a deep sea isopod or something.

BØLT2 votes

I like this idea! But I'm not sure if they will ever do it

Riot Kindlejack said:

Zyra in her current state is a legendary amount of work to make a skin for, for a multitude of reasons.

but this was just before the mage rework, so maybe she is easier to work with now

An Undead brat1 votes

Nope, she's exactly the same as before the rework, maybe harder, because there are two types of seeds now - her problem consists in having too much shit to make models and textures for - she, Thornspitter, Vinelasher, two types of seeds and each of the spells.

Chroma would solve half of this problem because you don't need to make any models, just textures.

P0IS0N IVY2 votes

Riot would be like "She needs more work done than most champs to produce the same quality so we're doubling the price of her chromas."

An Undead brat1 votes

And you know what? As a wealthy aristocrat, I do not care, make it cost as much as an ultimate skin and I buy it! For real.

P0IS0N IVY1 votes

Not everyone has an endless amount of money to spend on a package of pixels.

I'd rather they make something with actual quality if Riot wants to jack up the prices.

An Undead brat1 votes

Yeah but I'm desperate

P0IS0N IVY1 votes

They made dragon sorceress not too long ago.

VelvetCrotch2 votes

wow, so obvious, so true. flowers like zyra need to bloom in many differnt ways. ^^

Ionian Vulpix1 votes

I thought they said there weren't doing chromas for base skins any more. Though maybe for Wildfire.

An Undead brat5 votes

Did they? Well let me show you how they change their opinion!

3000 GOLD FOR THESE CHROMA

Glory ln Death3 votes

How much is 3000 gold in RP?

Ionian Vulpix1 votes

Apparently not that much if all it'll get you is a big ax.

PaladinNO1 votes

How much is 3000 gold in RP?

I'll accept that challenge!

Gonna do this in my most non-sarcastic voice.

Rounding off to two decimals here:

Gold is by default measured in troy ounces. 3000 troy ounces equals 93,31 Kg. The current going rate for gold is 40.972,91 USD per Kilo. 93,31 Kg then equals 3.823.182,23 USD or 3.257.238,26 EUR

Using my RP - EUR pricing chart (using the EU 12575 RP bundle as baseline), that equals 585.724.727,01 RP. That's 180.222 Ultimate skins (and 3218 RP left over).

Over half a Billion RP... As they say, "don't spend it all in one place". xD

Now I'm just hoping no numbers are mistyped anywhere...

LankPants1 votes

I'd much prefer to see Dragon Sorceress over Wildfire. It's the only skin Zyra has other than SKT that actually looks good in game and I don't think they'd do Chromas for eSports skins.

FancyKiwi1 votes

What about Thresh? All they would have to do is change the color he glows.

Tormentula10 votes

Most of his skins technically do that already.

For instance, why would I buy a red thresh chroma when I can have blood moon.

CorruptedScythe7 votes

Or the other way around. Why buy blood moon if you can get a red chroma? Or championship if you can have a blue one?

rtbf2256182415 votes

Because...the difference is decorations, abilities and recall animations.

You'd basically be buying a very shitty version of a skin in that way which is not very profitable.

It Hertz When IP5 votes

It's cheaper.

I mean, they released Omega Squad Tristana when Guerrilla Tristana already exists, so clearly this is an acceptable business model.

rtbf2256182411 votes

I'm pretty sure they put her on the squad simply because she's an Adc and she's a yordle.

Making entire chroma sets for champions based on this alone is a weak argument.

It Hertz When IP1 votes

Didn't say I agreed with it, just that it's something Riot already does. Ergo, no reason to doubt that they'd do something similar.

rtbf2256182411 votes

I didn't say you agreed with it either. I'm saying that assuming Riot would add an entire new layer of chromas based on a single misfitting skin isn't a very solid argument.

And tbh i feel like Guerilla Tristana was simply overlooked because that skin is so old now, you may aswell buy that as a cheaper version of an Omega skin.

macromite1 votes

why do people buy elderwood bard when there is a green base bard chroma.

Why do people buy snow bard when there is a blue chroma.

why do people buy bard bard when there is a red chroma.

It's because those skins bring something new to the table, an are quite good.

If anything all champions having chroma's is just a way for the skin team to promise us that their skins will still continue to be of excellent quality.
