Riot Stellari gave out the next Snow down skins but we must decode first

Killaburn·Nov 19, 2017·29 votes·3,364 views

Ike the title, so a rioter said in her twitter account the next snowdown skins and i want to show you my research about who this champs are..

First, lets go to her twitter account to see the hints: Here

Now that you saw it, what specific champs do you pertain in this emoji's?? that would be hard too....

But yesterday, i saw this post from reddit: Here

So my Guess would be:

Bad Santa Warwick Slay Belle Akali Festive Jinx Candy King (or otherwise candy-themed) Draven - lollipops for axes

Possible Candidate: Wukong and kennen because of the monkey and Lux, Nasus, and Jax, but the op in reddit told that nasus might be reserved for lunar revel considering the next Chinese zodiac is the year of the dog.

Xmas eve and Candy Kayn ? [zombie-nunu-bummed]

tho a snow themed akali skin could be cool .

Chembaron YamadaNov 19, 20172 votes

Eve's VGU and the Kayn release are too new for them to get these skins. Maybe you are more lucky next year, but it was pretty obvious it isn't going to happen this Christmas.

I'd pay riot for making a Lollipoppy Draven Lmao!!

My guess is that Warwick's going to be for the year of the dog. He's a good pupper.

OK, onto the decoding: If you take the first letter of each emoji's code name, you'll get: CFSMSPSLSCPC But if you take the letter of each emoji's code name that corresponds to its place in the tweet, you get: CAOKMIAPWKES

...hopefully someone can work with this. I'll do more research. I don't think that the images are the hints though, I think that it's an underlying thing that has to do with the emojis. She has too many repeats otherwise. She also said that "the hints aren't that obvious".

Chembaron YamadaNov 19, 20172 votes

I hope that Warwick gets a Chinese new year skin as well. The tube on his back is great opportunity for creative use.

And she replied that some stuff found in the wad file change might not come that soon. I think the Warwick will be next year as Chinese new year dog. Maybe Nasus as well. Seems fitting to give both prime dog champs in the game a skin for the year of the dog.

Chiming in just to inform: she added that she was missing a hint in the message: An eggplant and another snowflake.

She also said:

TIL the eggplant emoji is not globally understood. I'm sorry to the non-English speaking, non-Americans who tried to decode that to guess a skin.

Unless you guessed Trundle

Cause ya know.

winks in Traditional Trundle

So it seems we get a winter skin for the troll king. [sg-kiko]

An eggplant? Huh. Looks like we have ourselves Santa Trundle?!?

Chembaron YamadaNov 20, 20171 votes

Probably Trundle showing off his abs, hence the eggplant. Maybe a Santa skin, or maybe Krampus?

We will see. [sg-ezreal]

I just want a snowy Wukong skin so please let it be wukong or jax!!

wukong needs some love too you know haha

MhihnjNov 19, 20171 votes

the emoji hints do have a monkey

Chembaron YamadaNov 19, 20172 votes

But she said that the hints are not that obvious. Other people guessed it could be Udyr, since his passive is called "monkey's agility".

Swear to all heckin heck if we don't get candy kayn...

BoilTheOilNov 19, 20173 votes

Wheres Candy Kayn at tho nobody wants another shitty seasonal jinx skin

FairyfleurNov 19, 20172 votes

Nobody wants a skin for Kayn right after release, either.

BoilTheOilNov 20, 20171 votes

why

FairyfleurNov 20, 20171 votes

Because other champs are way more deserving

Yeah! like Camille , Illaoi , Ivern , etc.

Chembaron YamadaNov 20, 20171 votes

Bloodmoon Camille based on the Kuchisake-Onna next year. Calling it now.

BoilTheOilNov 20, 20171 votes

Camille doesn't suit the theme, Illaoi is getting a different skin, Ivern would be good

I was just giving some examples, I can give more if you'd like (also note, these are just champs that deserve a skin, not ones that'd fit a christmas theme) Taliyah , AurelionSol , TahmKench , Kled , etc.

BoilTheOilNov 20, 20171 votes

Jinx doesn't

FairyfleurNov 20, 20171 votes

Sure, but I'd take winter skins for older champions that haven't gotten a skin in a while ( Taliyah , AurelionSol ) much better than Kayn

Chembaron YamadaNov 19, 20172 votes

Every Jinx skin is a great thing in my book. [slayer-jinx-wink]

Personally I think Nasus would be much better for a Christmas skin since I want Warwick to get the Lunar Revel skin instead.

KestrelGirlNov 19, 20172 votes

Writer of the Reddit post checking in. Thank you for spreading the good word. Stellari told me "the stuff you found isn't necessarily coming anytime soon" so I'm bummed, but hoping at least one of the skins on the list happens!!

PhoenixOfHeavenNov 19, 20172 votes

For a start, each character is represented by either 3, or 4 emoji's. Which means there is either 4, or 3 skins.

As to my theories of who they may be, only one i am decently confident in. If it goes by the 3-per-character basis, that second one, which is Monkey/Snowman/Penguin, could refer to Ivern considering he hasn't gotten a skin in some time, he could easily fit the skinline with his jolly nature, and that two of them are animals which fit his nature, and...he could easily be compared to a snowman, Frosty-style.

KestrelGirlNov 20, 20172 votes

Alright we got our reveals.

I was right about 2/3 champs. I am surprised by Poppy as she already has a Snowdown skin, but she was in the files. So uh yeah.

Also, Kog'Maw was in the files and Hextech Kog just got unveiled. :) Unfortunately no WW skin - Urfwick is the reason he's in the files now.

So, look forward to skins for these champions: Akali, Gragas, Heimerdinger, Jax, Lux, Miss Fortune, Nasus, Nunu, Urgot (My guess is Warring Kingdoms Nasus, Akali, Jax!)

ReisenTheDosNov 20, 20171 votes

Now I wonder why MF is in the files now. I mean she just recently got a skin, so maybe it's her long awaited Splashart update?

Or is she finally getting that long deserve VO update?

Either way, we can only wait and see.

NeameanNov 19, 20171 votes

I see Cookie my dream for a Mrs. Claus skin for Illaoi is not dead yet.

SANTA BRAUM NEEDS HIS BOO!

Chembaron YamadaNov 19, 20173 votes

There was that survey to ask the players which skin she should receive. I kinda doubt that Illaoi would get 2 skins so close to each other. =/

NeameanNov 20, 20171 votes

That skin is far from coming out supposedly skin could take up to 9 months in production and technically it hasn't start yet either because it still in voting phase.

Chembaron YamadaNov 20, 20171 votes

Voting phase is over and the results are supposed to get announced in some hours.

But yeah, it's not completely ruled out, I just doubt it.

kiergNov 20, 20171 votes

So i think that a warwick skin is hopeful, I sent in a ticket about something warwick related and from the mod response well it seemed like warwick might get a new skin soon.

Chembaron YamadaNov 20, 20171 votes

Mind to share the respond? Also, I hope it's warring kingdoms and not a winter skin.

well this is the part of the reply that is important

"Hopefully he'll get a cool new skin in the future though, I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya! <3"

(i started playing recently and was shooting in the dark to ask if i could just buy urfwick for real money or some such since i play a lot of warwick)

NiyumiNov 20, 20171 votes

I think the snowflakes and the snow clouds are dividers / endcap kind of things. Which means three skins.

So, Santa, a snowman (with sparkles) that has a monkey and a penguin, and a snowman (without sparkles) with a lollipop and a cookie, plus a random party popper.

Santa... there's too many candidates, so I'm just goinna say we're getting a Santa skin this year.

I'm assuming the sparkly snowman is someone who uses magic, and the monkey and penguin are references to abilities, or different forms. I would say Lulu, but she already has a winter skin. I'd also say Godyr because of his passive's name, but I don't think Riot would put out a skin for a champ that needs a rework (though he has an ultimate skin, so they will put off his rework as much as they can, since his ultimate makes him playable and is profitable because of that). Maybe it's Quinn, since humans are related to monkeys and a penguin is a bird. Maybe it's Kayn, with his whole duality theme.

As for the snowman with the lollipop and a cookie... I think that's a weapon and a shield, and the lack of sparkles means someone more physical rather than magical. Which means Freewintheon or Leona. As for the significance of the party popper... who's better at engaging a teamfight (and starting the party)? Pantheon or Leo? I could see it being Poppy too, but I don't think Riot likes her enough to give her a skin.

ÇhåryzårdNov 20, 20171 votes

Santa Draven, Elf Jinx, Fawn Poppy are already things now.

Slay Belle Akali from the reddit post is a possibility and it fits her well honestly.

Id say Nasus is getting a lunar skin, and possibly Warwick too. They're both dogs, next lunar revel is the year of the dog....

...however, I WOULD like to see a reindeer Warwick....that mauls people...

mauyoa7Nov 22, 20171 votes

When he said other champs it was because on pbe files you can find some .wad files about them, he meant jax and nasus because he found'em on wad files thus seeing what champs were probably going to get a skin.
