What Skin Themes/Lines Do You Want More Of?

Forhonor321·5/26/2017, 1:58:37 AM·6 votes·3,051 views

Let's be honest, some of the skin series Riot makes are amazing. But at the same time many of us have different preferences on what skins lines and themes are the best or appeal to us the most. So, just for fun and because I like hearing people's opinions on these kind of things, I want to ask what are your favorite skin lines and/or themes that you want to see more in the future of (excluding certain ones like Pool Party and Snowdown as Riot is guaranteed to make more of those skins since they're holiday themed and/or iconic for them to make).

Me personally it comes down to these skins:

  • Marauder - As much as the opposite Warden skin series is cool, I just prefer this one more. The armor and colors really give a strong menacing feel to the champs and in some ways iconic look. I'd be more than happy to see some champs get skins in this series like Shyvana, Rengar or even Hecarim. Hell, even Mord could get a skin like Marauder Overlord/King.
  • Arcade - This one may be cheating a bit as I said to exclude skins Riot is guaranteed to make (and this may now count as one of them) but honestly I think I can bypass my own rule with this. It's just fun seeing champs in this old 8-bit arcade style look and with rumors of a Yorick and Viktor skins possibly being added, I couldn't resist putting this on my list.
  • Dreadnova - Now how could I pass this one up. Gangplank's skin heavily has a Starcraft feel to it, and the Darius one (which I was extremely fortunate to get with some help from those MSI boxes) is literally just him as a god-damn space marine...and being a Warhammer 40K player this got me super excited to have! It's an extremely fun sci-fi skin line to have and I really want to see more in the future (just hopefully not behind loot boxes)
  • DnD Theme - OK, everyone has to know what I'm talking about, right? Bard Bard, human Karthus, Ryze Greybeard, Varus as a dark elf essentially, etc. I'm a rather big fan when it comes to RPG's, whether pen & paper like D&D or digitally like Skyrim or Dragon Age, and this skin line really holds a place in my heart. I'm still waiting for the day that Riot comes out with a Garrosh-looking Sion skin and Beholder Vel'Koz skin. These would be absolutely perfect for them!
  • Candy Kingdom - it's just goofy and I feel a few champs could benefit from it (especially Zac, I mean come on you can turn him into ice cream and have his passive blobs have cherries on top of them or something).
  • Comsic/Darkstar - These are just some of the most gorgeous skins I have seen in a long time. I really love images of star fields and space in general so when I see these skins I instantly get that vibe from them. Really do wish more in the future.

Honorable mentions Warring Kingdoms Star Guardian Dragonslayer PROJECT/Mecha/Battlecast/robot cyborg themes in general

A D&D skin theme would be cool. I also hope to see more Chemtech skins in the future as I love the bio mechanical theme.

As for some specific skins I'd like to see on champions, I'd say Arcade, Pool Party and Chemtech Jinx, Bloodmoon Yorick and Demon Blade Camille.

After the Hextech skin line redesign with Annie and Galio, I've been dying to see more champions in that theme. Hextech Elise or Hextech Yorick would look super cool imo since they could wear steampunk clothing while having minions and alternate forms that play off the Hextech robot aesthetic.

Ravenborn's another one that I like, and there are so many champions it could fit -- Quinn, Talon, Camille, Evelynn, Janna, Xayah, Rakan; the list goes on.

Arcade and Pool Party for me. I have several PP skins (Ziggs, Fiora, Leona) and they are some of my favorites.

Candy kingdom and DnD I'd like to see more of.

Pool Party. I know it's become a bit of a yearly tradition, but every Champion that has a PP skin, it's my favorite skin for them.

Star Guardian growing on me. It'd be cool if male Champions had some shonen equivalent.

I want more Zaun themed skins like Augmented, Bioforge, and Chemtech I love Zaun and all the way its characters look so if I could have more champions get that theme added to them

I would like to see more of the dragonslayer skin line, the addition of Zyra and Xin Zhao were really good.

A greek/roman gods/myths skin line would be nice, we already have Perseus Pantheon and Mythic Cassiopeia.

Skin lines like Project and pool party are basically always going to be continued on an annual/biannual basis, they have become really popular.

Cassiopeia Dragon Sorceress, THAT'S ALL I WANT

Chemtech. I want more fleshbag champs like urgot as well. Vandal skins are cool too. Like that punk and metal look.
