It's time for a new Diana skin

Rivainn··17 votes·2,812 views

Here are the facts:

  1. Diana is the oldest champion with only two skins.
  2. Diana's last skin was released almost two years ago.
  3. Syndra, a champion released after Diana, is soon to get her third new skin since Lunar Goddess was released.
  4. Diana's popularity is fairly low but very consistent.
  5. Syndra's popularity is lower than Diana's.
  6. Diana's win rate sits consistently around 50%.
  7. Diana is freaking awesome and beautiful and has a great story.
  8. I will spend all of the money for a new Diana skin and I will pay full price for it the moment it comes out because I adore her.
  9. I can't possibly be the only one who thinks so. Because she's awesome.

To all of you who will go look at my stats and tell me how my opinion doesn't matter because I suck at League: shush. Diana definitely deserves a new skin and YOU ALL KNOW IT.

Here are two phenomenal ideas by GisAlmeida on deviantART: Moons of Neptune Diana Eclipse Diana

And if neither of those tickle your fancy, Riot, here are so more ideas courtesy of my genius brain (with some inspiration from random places. Like pre-existing skins and conversations with people who TOTALLY AGREE WITH ME): Arclight Diana - white and gold and glowy, oh my! Elderwood Diana - green and nature-inspired, à la Hecarim Moon Guardian Diana - a pissed-off Sailor Moon Aurora Diana - all shifty multicoloured and pretty Galactic Diana - as above, but starry

That enough inspiration for you? Aaaaaaand GO!

  1. Diana is the oldest champion with only two skins.

Yorick would like a word.

2. Diana's last skin was released almost two years ago.

Yorick Cassiopeia Kennen Poppy Sion Taric would like some words. Reworks aren't an excuse considering Safecracker Evelynn.

3. Syndra, a champion released after Diana, is soon to get her third new skin since Lunar Goddess was released.

Gnar Zed Elise Thresh Aatrox Lucian Nami Quinn Braum Rengar Vi Jinx would like to know why this is such a big deal.

  1. Diana's popularity is fairly low but very consistent.
  1. Syndra's popularity is lower than Diana's.
  2. Diana's win rate sits consistently around 50%.
  3. Diana is freaking awesome and beautiful and has a great story.

None of these have any baring on why Diana should get a skin over someone else. Also that's mean to Syndra sod you.

  1. I will spend all of the money for a new Diana skin and I will pay full price for it the moment it comes out because I adore her.
  1. I can't possibly be the only one who thinks so. Because she's awesome.

You aren't the only one, but that's irrelevant too.

Riot makes skins when they feel like it or when it's appropriate. Diana'll get a third skin whenever Riot decides to make one.

Yorick Cassiopeia Kennen Poppy Sion Taric would like some words. Reworks aren't an excuse considering Safecracker Evelynn.

Actually Reworks are pretty valid reasons not to give a champ a skin. Eve just got a skin,because her rework is still far away(urgot,taric and yorick all seem to have priority over her) and the skin was really cheap and could be easily adjusted once eve gets a rework(since her general shape most likely won't change that much)

Though I agree with the rest of your points and Kennen,Cassiopeia and Sion aren't planned to get a rework anyway.

Vote Diana for the All-Stars skin.

Also, I think I'd like either Bloodmoon or Iron Solari Diana.

well my guess is team fire is going to win so you have the possibility for a fire diana but the fan base for a actual fire satan temmo is too strong

Sharjo2 votes

I'd prefer a fire Nautilus skin to be honest; volcanic eruptions when he Riptides? Yes please.

Ralanr1 votes

Less awkward than a fire Diana skin to be honest.

LaoBushido1 votes

the problem is naut is not that popular. compared to lady di and temmo

Sharjo1 votes

Yeah I know. A tank main can dream though.

Ralanr1 votes

You main tanks? Which ones?

Sharjo1 votes

Sion, Maokai, Nautilus, Tahm Kench are my go to's at the moment, and I'm on that Illaoi hype train. Looking to play a lot of the new Poppy too. Fighters are cool too but it's mainly the draw of the "tank" fantasy that draws me to them. Basically I like the concept of folks who shrug off damage and attacks like it's nothing, and wade in to battle like "HAHAHA YOU CAN BARELY TOUCH ME PUNY MORTALS".

Ralanr1 votes

Nice. I've been shifting to tanks over fighters recently (because the resolve tree actually excites me instead of the others) and I've found myself enjoying the impact I have in teamfights. Sion is awesome.

Surprisingly I found myself not liking Illaoi. She doesn't fit my playstyle. But she'll be my top laner when my team doesn't need More CC.

Sharjo1 votes

Illaoi's someone I like because she feels heavy and stompy. Everything feels like it has impact, especially those tentacles. The smashing is just so satisfying to me. Still getting the hang of her though, and using that E properlly.

Ralanr1 votes

I've been so used to Sion skill shots that I've forgotten how much minion blocking sucks.

You mean he's Naut that popular?

I'll just see myself out....

Where do you vote? I went to the All-Star Event page and couldn't see any place to vote. . . :(

Seriously though, I love all of her skins (especially Dark Valkyrie), but I would love to have another skin for her.

You mean Iron Lunari?

syndra is getting a snow day skin though

Vistha Kai

I'd question the way Rito handled snow themed skin for Syndra, but let's go with "Let it go."

Well, day 30 we can vote for one of 3 champions to receive a Fire or a Ice skin, and Diana is one of those 3. It's not what we have been wanting ,but hell, its something. Diana Naut Teemo I know that Diana has my vote.

No one remembers Yorick Mori. item 3070 Yorick item 3070

I'm sorry, but if the champs who got skins were decided by winrate and popularity, then Yasuo and Lee Sin would never stop getting new ones and would likely circle all the way around to having Star Guardian Yasuo and Lee released before another champ received a skin.

What I'm saying is, eh.

I'm not a massive fan of the Moons of Neptune concept. It's so much like Dark Valkyrie that I can't honestly say that would sell very well at all, nor would it end up looking fantastically. However, Eclipse Diana looks amazing! I do think it should be called Arclight Diana, as the color scheme fits that line of skins much more, but that is a skin that has the potential to be wonderful, and I would most definitely buy that.

Out of the ideas that you listed, I would love to see a Galactic Diana the most! They would probably give it the name "Cosmic" since they have already released a cosmic skin, but since we've seen how wonderful Kassadin's looks, that opens up the opportunity for Diana to have her own legendary Cosmic Reaver skin as well!!

I do agree with you that Diana desperately needs a new skin. However, I'm pretty confident that out of the three champions that are to be voted on to receive an All-star skin, the majority of the community will (if they haven't already) vote for Diana. Frankly, I don't really want her to have a skin that's fire or ice themed, but hey, she needs a new skin!

There is also the fact that a MOON THEMED champion does not have a blood MOON skin. [zombie-brand-mindblown]

Seriously Rito, you gave Zilean, a time traveling geezer, a blood moon skin, but your moon worshiping champion has yet to receive one.

Ralanr1 votes

Because it we be redundant.

RaptorKarr1 votes

When has that stopped Riot before?

Ralanr1 votes

Before, a skin was just a recolor. Now they're a lot better. I think the RPG skins would have been 975 skins instead of 750 if they were released 2 years ago.

Riot is getting better in their skins. Sticking to the moon concept for Diana would be too restrictive. She already has a lunar goddess skin.

Honestly I think Project: Diana would have been great

NEW M00N1 votes

Think about Cataclysm Diana. Crescent Strike - Fire Bolts and Flames (moonlight debuff) Pale Casacde- Orbital METEORS?! EXPLOSIONS! Fire Shield...... Moonfall- hmm...Explosions? maybe burnt ground scribed as Lunari Symbol Lunar Rush- Fire Dash! maybe visual fire trails?

Diana Bursty explosions Diana will rise!
