PSA About the Project Skins

They can only be humans They can't be people who previously have a robotic theme

which means that the ideas that (are pretty dumb) like elise, nami, khazix, etc are out the window.

Also, a big theme of the project skin line is their ability to outmaneuver someone via a really good dash or a special dash ( special dashes being stuff like Master Yi's Q, which makes him untargettable, and leonas E, which dashes after hitting someone and becomes untargettable in between. )

The only person who doesnt follow that rule is Ashe, but shes the legendary

In my opinion I dont really like the fact that jhin may be getting the skin, but I dont care too much because I've wanted new project skins all year. Jhin doesn't really outmaneuver people other than his ms boost, and I feel like he's only getting the skin because hes popular; he really doesn't fit much else of this skin. It's kind've the same with Sivir here.

If I had to pick, the project skins would/could go to any one of the following Akali, Riven, Diana, Irelia, Quinn, vayne, vi, talon, shen, xin zhao, and kalista. the biggest characteristics of these characters is their types of interesting mobility (except for xin zhao, i just think he'd be cool, honestly.) These champions flow well with this theme because they have that feel of being a superhuman-like presence mobility wise while being humans; like how Talon levels walls like crazy, or Akali dashes a long distance in seconds; diana and akali with their resetting quick dashes, and vayne with her superior mobility and even stealth viability with her tactics. Quinn scales battlefields in seconds with her ultimate on, and still can dive kick you as fast as lightning. I see these champions most fit because these are things that would set you apart from any other robot in the Project Themed world, assuming there were others. Sivir can run, sure, but like, what's stopping everyone else from turning on some sorta booster in a world full of robots?

[ EDIT: Forgot, the only exception to this robot theme is headhunter, as yi has a headhunter skin while having a project skin ]

This post [zombie-brand-clap] Someone said it. Someone made sense with the "chosen 4" and a post that finally doesn't make Jhin a great choice.

Man the boards are going to have a field day. "3 adcs are you kidding me RIot?!" "See Riot loves adcs more than any other class!" "So many other champions and they chose 3 adcs GGWP" "Love how Shen gets skipped again >.>....." that last one is me tho LOL

This is some weird form of discrimination. 'Projects skins are for Humans only', Xayah would have a field day with that.

All champs can fit all skin themes. I'm pretty sure if they wanted, Riot could find a way to make Guardian of the Sands Azir work.

i believe they need to have some sort of weaponry as well so people like lee sin/udyr wont be getting one

if you are an animal then you have the mecha skin line

if you are void you have battlecast

program im not sure how to describe (humanoid ish? + weapons not required)
