As the canon story of league of legends has slowly been fleshed out and expanded so to has riot been adding small stories and plots to our favorites skinlines. The added a whole new dynamic to the skins as it adds both a visual and contextual enrichment to the skins by making them not just masks a champion can wear but alternate lives a champion lives in another world. Now I know the narrators can only do so much with the leagues busy schedule and all but it's nice to see a little bit of added stories to the skins.

For clarity the alternate universe are the skin lines that have been given some context The current Alternative universe are as follows

  1. cosmic/dark star
  2. star guardian
  3. academy
  4. Super Galaxy
  5. Mecha/ battlecast
  6. PROJECT Initiative
  7. The Remembrances( or pulsefire if you prefer)
  8. Arcade
  9. Blood Moon
  10. Omega Squad
  11. Pentakill
  12. Dawn / Night( angel and demon or order and chaos if you prefer)

Also I'd hope that as more champions are added to these unique skin lines, there would also be some story to them or rather a fully constructed 'universe' is made'

Dragonslayer( hopefully with dragon master Swain one day)

Cops/robbers

High Stakes( I'm sure each champion can be a card)

Role-Playing Games

Secret Agent

Warring Kingdoms

Worldbreaker / worldweaver

I guess you are referring to the battlecast skins with "the evolution"? Because if thats the case,then you need to list it seperately,it isn't connected to the project skin line.

A lot think that battlecast and project are related because of vel'koz in project katarinas splash art,but that vel'koz there has a completely different silhouette from battlecast vel'koz http://i.imgur.com/0TaYuMi.jpg http://mmo24.pl/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Katarina_Splash_9.jpg

Most notably he is missing the 2 pipes on the side of his head and his eyes are differently placed.

I love the idea that due to her dialogue, Pulsefire Caitlyn basically confirmed that LoL has a multiverse. She references loads of variations of characters plus takes pride is offing the main universes Ezreal. Also, her references to killing a Project seems to indicate her timeline and their's may be connected.

What I think might be interesting is for Champion that does not originate from the main LoL timeline. So let's say that the new character's base skin and lore actually hails from Pulsefire but they are exiled from that world and stuck in the main timeline for whatever reason.... of course their first 'Skin' would be their normal timeline guise.

It's also speculated that justicar Syndra is what she would look like if she didn't kill her teacher and instead trained more with him.

Academy and Star Guardian might well be the same alternate universe, when you consider the anime tropes they reference.

And the skin line lores could bring us new relationships! I mean if A champion's friends in the original story is B and C in the skin line story his friends could be D and E.
