A better star guardian option...

So everyone but the Ahri mains seem annoyed that she got the legend Star Guardian skin, especially after getting force fed into the Arcade skin line recently as well. But can you even imagine how awesome that 360 picture would have been if you had opened it up to see, rather than doing nothing but looking pretty, leading the charge of the new Guardian team.

How awesome it would have been to see Leona, shield expanded for Eclipse, bursting through the void blast as Ezreal, Sarah and Syndra bombarded the monster with full Star Guardian dps fury giving our starchild Soraka a chance to heal the injured team? How inspiring it would be for Lux to have Leona, a strong woman of iron conviction with a heart of sun-warmth gold, to look up to as the leader of the more experienced team? Rather than a seductive fox-woman who doesn't wanna stop being a teenager...

I dunno, just feels like a great lore opporotunity was missed in an attempt to make money off a popular piece of nine-tails as the for front..

edit:The Ahri mains found my post :(

Ehh.... idk, I mean sure I'm up for a different Star Guardian skin, but Leona.....doesn't exactly fit in either, Ashe or Irelia would be better

Leona Merely worships the god of a sun (star). Soraka is literally the Star Child.

I believe the goddess & descendant of the stars is much more suited to lead the guardians of stars than a human who is a mere worshipper of one particular star. [slayer-jinx-catface]

I was reading a thread last night suggesting Star Guardian Taliyah, which also sounds really awesome. I think Leona could work too, and the sun is technically a star

(I know this is old and idk how i found this but lemme just say, Ahri fits it VERY well alternatively personality wise character type wise etc she's super anime basically LOL... Cute anime girls with animal ears and tails always win. And she does seem like a Leader type... Leona imo would be farrrr too old she seems like she's late 30's early 40's age... Taliyah would match this skin line RIDICULOUSLY well and i'm surprised she hasn't received a star guardian skin yet. She's literally a 16 year old brave caring magical girl without the stars... SHE NEEDS TO BE ONE HANDS DOWN. Leona can work in a sense of MF since Mf is around 28 i'd say but then again in the alternate "Star guardian universe" Leona can be highschooler aged just like they did to MF etc... i can see it working and i think purple or blue would be a really nice color scheme for Her, Taliyah should be peachy orange with a DASH of Indigo since it's her favorite color (confirmed, aka the purple color on her outfit) but ye Also diana can go the same as Leona i just think Diana opens a lot of creativity for her weapon and outfit/hairstyles being SUPER sailor moon inspired~ Diana could be a pale blue and grey scheme with a dash of golds and pinks, Irelia would be nice, especially with a strong sparkly cherry red color scheme~ her blades can be stars or wings, that last slot can literally go to anybody, an adc is ideal but SO MANY champions can match this skin line so well ugggh ;-; but if we talkin adc's i'll sayyy Caitlyn can be Mami Tomoe Inspired, Kai'Sa can be really interesting, also Sivir & Tristana obviously,

Honorable Mentions~ Akali,Ashe,AurelionSol(in some way a star guardian creator/leader think kyubey), Ekko, Evelynn(could be a cool sg villain), Same with Elise, Fiora, Karma, Katarina, Kayle,Morgana, Kayn,Kennen,LeBlanc(a villain),Same with Lissandra, Malzahar(villain),Nami(turns human when going to school),Nidalee,Quinn, Rakan&Xayah,Riven, Sejuani, Sona,Vi,Zoe

Not everyone is upset she received the skin. I've seen plenty of comments on the Star Guardian Ahri thread praising the skin team for its creation. I'm sure others are happy too, but those upset with the skin are more likely to make a thread about it.

Leona is a lot less popular champion than Ahri, its obvious that Ahri will get more skins, its called marketing

(Irelia) - as the leader, color pink? (There's a link to the design concept attached created by xxsmell from twitter, found this amazing idea concept by Elinz's thread "Star Guardian Irelia (Skin Concept!)")
(Riven) - color blue?
(Diana) - color red ?
(Taliyah)) - color green ?
(Leona) - color purple?

And on the other side we gave the star destroyers with Diana as their leader
