Candidates for: PROJECT

Forhonor321··14 votes·2,730 views

Soooo this is something that I've been wanting to do for a while but due to school work I haven't been able to get to it until now. I'm starting the small board discussion series Candidates for: <insert skin line here>. Basically it's a small discussion board that I'll be trying to post every two weeks, maybe going for each week but no promise, around Friday or Saturday where I bring up one skin line currently, one misc. solo skin, or something else entirely, and everyone posts their thoughts/ideas on candidates for these current series or potential series.

Without further delay or explanation, what are some candidates you think would work for the PROJECT series?

So far in the series there's Ashe Ekko Fiora Katarina Leona Lucian MasterYi Yasuo & Zed. Now from the list, it mostly comes down to skirmishers/assassins and the exceptions of Ashe & Leona. So skirmishers/assassins are somewhat ideal for this series but, again with the exceptions, that doesn't mean that it could start expanding to other class types, like divers or even a few more tanks.

For me my list comes down to Akali Evelynn Diana Irelia Kayn Riven Quinn Shen Talon but like I said, this is a discussion for your thoughts as well. So who do you feel are clarified for candidates in the PROJECT series?

My money's on Vayne. She fits the skin line, is an extremely popular champion, and doesn't have an 1820 skin yet in spite of her playrate which makes her a highly probable (and profitable) choice for this year's PROJECT legendary.

If I could choose based purely on personal preference though:

Quinn Talon Diana Shen Kayn

Kayn in particular would be a really cool choice as they could innovate with his skin and make it a hybrid PROJECT/PROGRAM. No clue what name they'd give it though.

I always think of Kayn having a PROJECT/Battlecast skin tbh. I just see that working more.

I exclude Akali for the Project, she have the Headhunter wich is similar and tbh i see Eve bettter such as Program.

Justiciar Evelynn.

As if instead of coming to inflict more pain after the Rune Wars, she decided to combat the sources of pain.

Like... if she didn't enjoy feeling pain, it was more of an irritation to her.

I dunno just theorizing on that one.

EDIT: Heh, I said "coming" in a post about Evelynn inflicting pain.

I want Diana and quinn tbh.

Illioi, digitized tentacles for the win. She needs a new skin anyway.

That would probably work really well for Program as well...

I feel like talon is a must for the next set of project skins. I would really like to see Irelia, Kayn and Shen as well.

Varus Azir Quinn Kayn Leblanc

My list and tbh I wouldn't mind seeing a project phoenix look for Azir.

How about a new skin line instead of bloating them all so much?

PROJECT : Shen, Kayn and Rengar would be pretty cool. Doubt Rengo will get one since he's getting the Mecha skin but i think PROJECT would've suited him better.

Xurreal3 votes

Evelynn is not human. She's a demonic entity.

I don't think it can work for her anymore.

She is not a "Focus" champion anymore, she's mystical and paranormal.

But whatever, I'm up for it if they make one.

Give me anyone of these and I will be happy. ^^

Sion

Mecha?

Ralanr1 votes

Ugh.

I honestly think Sion works better in the project skins because of what Sion’s character is and what the project skins are.

Chembaron Yamada2 votes

I always thought that Mecha and Project share the same universe, don't they? If they do, then that clearly forbids the existence of Project Sion.

Ralanr2 votes

I don’t believe they do. Mecha seems more Saturday morning cartoon while project looks more cyberpunk.

But the fact that Mecha Sion exists already prevents project Sion.

Kerrigan 4 Prez2 votes

I believe that the Project, Mecha, and Program skins all take place in the same universe. But I'm just going off of ProjectCamille's interactions.

Ralanr1 votes

I despise project for what it is because of what it could have been.

Kerrigan 4 Prez2 votes

What could it have been that hasn't already been covered by a skinline?

Ralanr1 votes

Actual computer programs inside the matrix.

Instead we get more robots.

Kerrigan 4 Prez1 votes

I believe you are looking for the Program line then.

Oh derp. I misread the skin lines.

The program line, however, failed that because of Program Camille.

Its cool we all make mistakes.

And I happen to agree with you on Camille. Her particles don't really give off the "I'm in" sorta vibe. I think they gave her a program skin because they wanted to give her some project interactions.

Ralanr1 votes

Honestly I think her visuals work, but the background image ruined it for me.

Forhonor3211 votes

I think Battlecast also goes in the same universe with some hidden cameos in some of the splash art and I believe quotes from PROJECT Ashe, but I could be wrong about that one.

Arakadia1 votes

Evelynn, Shen, and Quinn could be amazing.

PROJECT Katarìna1 votes

Ahri Akali Diana Ezreal Jhin Irelia LeeSin Kayn Riven Talon Vayne XinZhao For me the PROJECT skin line is made for skirmishers/duelers and champs that can have flashy plays some of these may be hard to pull off as skins though like XinZhao Ezreal

I think in one of the dev blogs, they wanted to make sure Project champions have some sort of visible weapons that can be changed to look Project-y. Based on that, I would agree on almost everyone except Ahri, Lee Sin (although he could be the first to not have a weapon), and Ezreal. Akali and Diana especially, since Project skin line can use some AP.

PROJECT Katarìna3 votes

Id definitly say diana should get the project skin just because she has the most pontentiol out of all the champs iv listed and leona already has one plus we do need more ap champs for team project just hope i dont have to pay an extra 600 rp each for the border.

Don't think this will happen since she already has a Program skin.

IMO program is awful, and the project thematics fit more with her character

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

I agree, don't really like her Program skin (and I would have loved to buy a skin for her....) and Project might have been a better fit (but maybe clashing a bit much with her default concept of being a cyborg lady.... Projects are basically just cyborgs too).

However, the thematics are kinda connected if I remember correctly and I don't see them giving her another technology based skin anytime soon.

I see her next skin coming more from a mythological thematic, for example Bloodmoon Camille.

don't foget that project line got also those fancy glass-like panels (see leone sword and shield for example). i could definitely see such glass stuff to develop from the metal structure of her leg. that would be the core of the design for an eventual project camille for me

SuperGeon1 votes

Taric.

Also, an anti-project would be neat. It probably have to be alien-like creatures, instead of more cyborgs.

DJMason886 votes

I thought Battlecast was the anti-project.

All the PROJECTs are (mostly) young, slim/fit humans who wield a physical weapon. So, your list is correct - except remove Evelynn as she is a demon and more suited to Program like Camille, Soraka, or Lissandra. But it could also use expansion - Project Katarina mentioned some others. (Ezreal and Ahri are DQ'd as they are magic users. Even though Ez has a gauntlet, he also already has a Pulsefire skin which is close in theme. And I think Lee as a martial artist is also out of the picture unless he has gauntlets or something.)

Akali Draven Diana Irelia JarvanIV Jayce Jhin Jinx Kayn MissFortune Quinn Riven Shen Sivir Talon Varus Vayne Vi XinZhao Irelia should remain a candidate after her VGU. Jayce already has Full Metal but that could be differentiated enough from Project to give him a pretty sick Project skin. Varus could be too similar to Ashe.

Darius and Garen are also potential candidates but I think they are a bit too beefy, and Darius also has a Dreadnova skin which is perhaps too similar.

Magic users can also be used. Although he doesn't look like it, Zed is a magic-user, just not an AP champion. What the PROJECT skinline did is that it made magical things into more tech-based things. Zed's W is a shadow construct in the canon lore, but in PROJECT, it's some smoke-based armor. Same idea for Yasuo (whose wind technique I'd argue has some magical properties).

Although I don't want ANY new skins for the two any time soon, Ez and Ahri are eligible for PROJECT skins. More-so Ez than Ahri, imo, mostly because of the tails. Lee Sin COULD work, if they make his kit based around hard-light constructs (think Green Lantern). Garen could work. I mean, Yasuo and Zed are fairly beefed up in comparison to Ekko, Lucian, or Yi. But I'd rather not see a cyborg Garen in my games. [sg-ahri-3]

Ugh i would say a good candidate would be Jinx , and also Jinx . But the one that would fit the best out of them all would definitely be Jinx !
