Can we get a little more diversity in the PROJECT line?

The project skins are awesome, and they look amazing, but maybe its just me but it doesn't feel like it's diverse enough among the champions that get them?

4 ADCs ( 2 of which are legendary )

4 mid assassins ( )

2 Junglers ( unless you also count them as assassins as their secondary roles used to be)

and then 1 top ( ) and then only 1 support ( )? Im aware that Yasuo and Ekko are occasionally flexed top but they are traditionally mid.

Why make another legendary project ADC next to another ADC AFTER the last project legendary ADC? And don't get me wrong project Jhin and vayne are BEAST (thats what you kids are saying these days right? >.>) But i would personally like to see less of the same roles getting the most project love and give some to support and top because its been while.

Anyone else? D:

It seems that the Project skin line is human only, so the list of possible candidates contains:

TOP Darius Gangplank Garen Illaoi Irelia Jayce Pantheon Riven Shen Singed Tryndamere Yorick Jax Quinn

MID Akali Annie Diana Leblanc Lux Malzahar Ryze Swain Syndra TwistedFate Vladimir Taliyah Talon Viktor Zoe

JUNGLE Gragas Graves JarvanIV LeeSin Sejuani Udyr XinZhao

ADC Caitlyn Ezreal Jinx MissFortune Sivir Varus Draven

SUPPORT Braum Janna Karma Sona Taric Zilean

However, it seems that not every champ here completely fits the theme. Usually, the Project champions are slender. So candidates like Gragas or Darius are human, but not necessarily fit as Projects.

Out of this list, I want to present my preferred next Project line.

Project: Destructors Quinn Graves Gangplank Jinx

The destructor line are experts for explosives and damaging wide areas in the universe.

Quinn Project: Quinn Legendary skin and leader of the group. Would use a big drone, called V.A.L.O.R. to scout possible targets. The arrows of her air strike get replaced with many little grenade explosions.

Graves Project: Graves Grenade expert

Project: Gangplank Bomb expert (Barrels)

Jinx Project: Jinx Rocket expert, I know this choice would get alot of hate, since Jinx got the Christmas skin now, but she fits the theme I had in my head

That would give us: 2 Top laner, 1 Jungler and 1 ADC

I don't think people would buy Project Braum or Project Alistar. Technically, for Rito, going for ADC legendaries is less work on their part because ADCs don't have nearly as many shiny things to reproduce as they would with Mages. Kinda explains the lack of Mages/Enchanters on the roster.

Plays in South Korea, but Yasuo is usually top and occasionally mid.

I just want more villains so far there is only Zed, Jhin and Kat. Though a Project Singed skin would be funny.

Well, I would certainly like for more champs that I like &/or play to get PROJECT skins. Besides Ashe & Leona , I'm really not feeling this skinline or the hype.

Ignoring my biased opinion. While there's plenty more champs that can fit the skinline like Diana Riven & Shen , it's not one that can fit every champ like Pool Party or a Winter/Holiday skin. Role wise: Marksmen, Assassins, Fighters & some Tanks naturally fit the PROJECT theme better than Mages (including Supports). What is that theme? Augmented Humans (no humanoids) who uses advance sci-fi weaponry to fight (so even hand-to-hand fighters might not work. Remember: Vi have Gauntlets). This even rules out a number of tanks as options. Plus the skin line is rather serious, so I doubt goofy or lighthearted champs might not work unless it's a legendary skins *looks at Braum*.

Now it's entirely possible the skins team would be willing to break this "guideline", if the concept was strong enough. It might make them willing to drastically expand the skinline in X direction opening it up for more champs. Who knows?
