Just found this on ArtStation, would be a pretty cool skin/skinline

"Holy Executor" Akali, you can see "Holy Executer" Kennen and Shen in the background too. It really gives a Kayle feel but either way I think it looks really nice.

I know this kinda fits in the "Arclight" skin line but the "Arclight" skin line are usually to present champions with different lore directions in another 'dimension' and the Kinkou ninjas never really had a "dark" image so I dunno

Still, I'd love for something like this to be in the game :P

It looks like the same confusing RPG armor you see a lot of vapid fantasy games have. That's made even clear when you compare said armor to the two male counterparts in the background.

Male counterparts?

Male counterparts?

The two male characters in the background, Shen and Kennen, who are wearing full suits of armor, while Akali is running around in a stupid looking metallic thong and breast plate.

Y'know, the done to death and back trope of females wearing comically worthless armor to show off their bodies while dudes wear dudes get the actually protective stuff since they need the cool factor I guess.

I'm sorry. I didnt see Kenny and Shen at all. I was too busy being in awe of Goddess Akali.

That or they were hiding. Like Ninjas.

Shen's armor feels a bit Warframe like.

Odd part is when guys have impractical armor like Tryndamere Braum or little of it, it always shows them as buff and powerful. And also sexy. When women wear revealing outfits by contrast it seldom connotes that they are sexy and also very strong. Hence the complaint of some that such women are just pretty girls in costumes, whereas men are 'real' warriors of the fantasy setting.
