I am the only one who thinks Riot should make more skins in which champions are from other places?

Let me explain what I am trying to say:

There are lots of champions that originate from a certain place in Runeterra but have a skin that show an alternate reality as if they were from another place. Examples:

Fizz Nocturne Illaoi have a Void skin (Icathia)

Vladimir Vayne Kayn MonkeyKing TwistedFate Galio Leblanc have a Soulstealer or Underworld skin (Shadow Isles) - Many other spectral, spooky, or Harrowing skins can also be considered as being tied to the Shadow Isles

Poppy has a Noxian skin

Taliyah Rammus have a Freljord skin. Many ice-themed skins can also be considered as being tied to Freljord

Khazix Fiddlesticks have a Guardian of the Sands/Risen skin (Shurima)

There are also many other champions with skins with archetypes tied to certain places in Runeterra. For example, both Darius and Tryndamere have a Bioforge and a Chemtech skin, respectively, and both skins have a very obvious Zaun vibe, even though they aren't oficially Zaun themed.

It would be cool if Riot did more skins like this. On my opinion they should invest more in the Void theme. One could argue that Dark Star is basically Void, but Riot confirmed that they are not related.

They should, but its important that the RIGHT champs get them. Even if Wukong would look pretty cool with a Void or Zaun theme, it would be really annoying for Wukong players to get another skin like his Underworld skin that is basically him, but from another faction.

Some champs would just plain benefit more from an alternate universe skin like Arcade or Project, then they would for a parallel universe skin like Underworld or Void (namely being the champs who already have those kinds of skins). On the other hand, there are plenty of champs who would benefit from having some of the parallel universe skins as well. champs like Cassiopeia and Yorick who don't have a lot of skins or newer champs like Camille or Ivern could relay work out pretty well for skins like that. As for ideas:

Not to mention the bilgewater skins of Katarina Rumble Swain As well as Hextech skins for Piltover

I agree , every champion should have at least one region swapped skin

I love this idea! I'd also like to see some more pre-___ skins like the pre-void Kassadin skin.

It would be really cool to see what Zed Diana looked like before their appearance drastically changed.
