What the new Star Guardian skins could have been

tieger05··2 votes·6,088 views

I think a lot of us Really disliked the fact that the new SG skins went to a lot of champs that were really generic & had a ton of skins. Here's what the new SG Batch could have been (with art concepts). these aren't designed by me.

SG Diana:

SG Urgot (lol):

SG Taliyah (Arcade Taliyah was closest I could find):

SG Illaoi:

SG Leona:

SG Sona:

There are some other champs who are in need of skins too, like yorick and cass, but i didnt list them because i couldn't find a good skin concept for them.

I guess we're all mostly mad that riot (once again) have decided to please the bigger playerbases, instead of for once appealing to the minorities...

So uh two things:

  1. You showed a concept titled ARCADE Taliyah
  2. You showed a concept called POPSTAR Sona

I mean you could've gone with any of these and it'd not be as much of a bother, but the Taliyah one has the name Arcade even on the image itself!

(Note: I'm not knocking the post, but OP your choice of art to use bugs me)

Star Guardian Urgot is a terrible idea

I don't really like many of these either, but that doesn't matter.

They're just concepts :P

I'll say I like the "dark" concept of the Diana. It would have been more interesting.

I liked the SG theme. It was cool. But if they are all just going to be a clone of one another then it isn't cool anymore. Like literally Ahri's skin looks like 2-3 of her other skins combined just from a quick glance. And it makes it less special, which to me makes the other SG now less special.

Crazy how three of the SG also have Arcade line.

I get some guys are under skin reworks but like, you gotta push out more Star Guardians? Nothing for Yorick, though, or Morde...

It's just such a-- like no duh you can make the attractive, young humanoid and yordle champions into literally any skin you want.

I think Diana and Taliyah should get next years.

that pop star sona could work both as pop star and SG if you remove the headset xD i** love** that concept.

i also always thought if Ahri gets a SG skin it would be this :

You mean SG Syndra? Oh no they all just look like boobs with generic stuff. (although that is a great pic).

Nylisa1 votes

no i mean last one SG sona thats actually popstar sona concept.

MysterQ1 votes

Sorry my comment meant that AHri skin looks like the actual SG Syndra now (the fluff cat ball, the dark colors).

Nylisa1 votes

oh yes but that concept was made LONG before SG syndra skin was shown.

Taliyah and (kind of) Sona I can see, but the rest don't play to the theme.

Star Guardians are supposed to be youthful, not serious like Diana, Leona, and Illaoi. I'm sure Riot would have chosen one of them if they could, but it isn't just about giving skins to champions who are in need of some, they need to fit the thematic of Star Guardian.

I don't think I have to say why Star Guardian Urgot isn't that great of an idea.

Also, Diana received Blood Moon recently.

Leona and diana does not fits this star guardian skin line, there nothing cute about rakkor warriors that will kill anyone and anything that cross them, yes leona is a killer
