I want to discuss about the SG skin series for a moment
First, as many have already posted about, Rumble is getting left out of an icon, again. It really doesn't make sense why Riot is doing this. Rumble is the one that first got the skin and eventually started the skin line now. He's the leader of this group, so why is he getting left out for a second time? It feels very off.
Second, something that I quickly noticed with the skin series is that it's suppose to heavily imply/parody Gurren Lagann (awesome anime btw, not based off of any manga series, check it out). With the latest batch of skin coming out soon, it's going deeper into the pilot/mech theme but then it kinda hit me: Kindred doesn't really fit at all with this theme!
Think about it. G.L. is mostly about mechs, each champ in the SG series has abilities that can translate to mechs. Rumble=walker mech Shyvana=Dragon mech Fizz=Shark mech Annie=Bear mech Nid=Leopard/Panther mech Gnar=Mega Form mech Elise=Spider mech Kindred=?
There's not really anything about Kindred or her kit (YES HER BECAUSE WTF DOES WOLF DO OUTSIDE OF ABILITIES) that makes her mech pilot related. Nothing. At least with everyone else they have some form of it, like Annie or Fizz can control their mechs or Elise and Shyvana can board and pilot theirs, but Kindred just feels out of place since she doesn't really relate to anything like that. I mostly feel like they made a skin for her in this series just so she could get a skin (unlike other newer champs
)
Finally, with Elise being released in the series and having a pretty obvious different color scheme and getting mauled by the other champs in the preview, I think it's safe to say she's part of the villain group of the series. With that concept said though, what other champs will be added to join the villain roster? (personally I feel
could work once his update hits)
