Possible Upcoming Ultimates

Ravenhale··2 votes·575 views

In my recent perusal of skins, I noticed we might be due for another Ultimate skin from Riot. There was Pulsefire Ezreal in June 2012, Spirit Guard Udyr in July 2013 and DJ Sona in February 2015. It may come as late as June 2016 but I wouldn't be surprised by another February release.

With Marksmen, Fighter and Support roles accounted, who do you think are the top candidates for the next Ultimate?

My personal picks are:

Sion (Tank) - Simply because this could be why we haven't seen a skin for this guy since his relaunch. I personally regard him as the Ultimate of tanks. A theme with him as the Supreme Emperor of Noxus would not be too far fetched.

Viktor (Mage) - I can easily see a Final Evolution Viktor package.

LeBlanc (Assassin) - Probably not likely to happen, but I can't conceptualize how an Ultimate Talon or Nocturne would turn out. I honestly don't see an Ultimate Assassin skin coming in the near future, but I would pick LeBlanc over the other two. Something like the Elusive Illusive LeBlanc.

Assassin: Realmwalker Kassadin In an alternate runeterra, Kassadin has succeeded in eliminating the void, and contrary to what he thought, his job was not over. After slaying Malzahar, he gained his gift of sight. Using this, he saw that his timeline is, in fact, the only one in which the Void was defeated. Kassadin now leaps between parralel universes with the power he gained in defeating the void, dedicating his life to eradicating it from all realities. "I have expelled this evil from my world, now I must eliminate it from all others"

Sion's ultimate skin damn well better be predeath Sion.

Since the usual trend of Ultimates involves some sort of change of appearance, I was thinking predeath Sion had to be at least one of his looks, if not all. Maybe cycle through the stages of his rise to power.

Being a huge LeBlanc main and fan, I would be so happy for her to get the most top tier skin. Although her skill animations are pretty simple, having her switch forms like DJ Sona would make a huge difference :)

If not LeBlanc then I would also be rooting for Katarina for assassin as it would be awesome to see different kinds of Death Lotus.

As for tank Sejuani is a cool candidate :)

Edit: I just remembered someone suggested a ''Definitely Not LeBlanc'' skin. Boy that would be hilarious

The whole switching forms is part of the reason why I feel LeBlanc is an excellent candidate for the Assassin Ultimate. The ability to "cycle" through "skins" would be an interesting level of gameplay, even though it would probably only work like DJ Sona (cycling a Chroma Pack). Call me spoiled, but I would hope for a more challenging transition like cycling from Frostfire Annie to Panda. Mesh three 975 skins into one package. If skins were meant for tactical advantages, I wouldn't hesitate to throw in some kind of Trickster's Glass mechanic... but alas.

Just so nobody has any new expectations that will get crushed: Dragon Master Swain is not slotted for production at any point in 2016 currently. There was a glimmer of hope for the skin in 2015 when I posted that, but it wasn't able to happen.

Sorry, I share your pain :\

I pulled this from a Red [Whist] off the Dragon Master Swain page. The guy is certainly overdue for a skin, but it doesn't look like it will be this one.
