Kayn's first skin

Okay, so the new champion is obviously super edgy. And made even more so by the fact his duality isn't good/evil, it's evil/evil. Either he wants to kill for himself or the darkin takes over... to kill people.

And of course, for his first skin they don't go for Justicar, which would match Aatrox's and add a 'good' aspect to the completely evil theme.

They make it the most redundant skin possible, soulstealer, and again price it at 1350 because they don't want our money.

But I guess people who prefer green over red are gonna jump right on it?

It's not evil/evil. It's corrupted/not corrupted. I don't see how justicar would work in this case.

He's evil either way. If you only consider whether or not the darkin took control, sure it's corrupted/not. But either way, he's a murderer by trade. He's a corrupt person regardless.

Justicar works the same way it works for Aatrox. A skin doesn't have to, and should not match the theme of the default skin. It should be different.

The darkin could be justicar while Kayn is normal/arclight or even evil himself, with additional lines to show that Raahst thinks he's better suited to deal out justice.

He is designed to choose between two forms that represent two opposites. The whole idea is for the forms to feel and look different and that is something his skins do have to follow. It would be a waste of the unique mechanic if the two options were justicar and a little less justicar.

They are not opposites dude. They are both evil. He isn't picking between a good human and an evil darkin. His goal is to murder people either way. You're literally just picking between red or blue for the skin.

And that's why I said Justicar and something dark for himself. Hell, Soulstealer + Justicar would've been better.

I don't know why you're under some impression that blue and red inherently means opposites.
