Who do you think/feel is going to or should get the next Legendary skin?

When we look back on this year, we got a shit ton of legendary skins: God-Fist Lee Sin, Pulsefire Caitlyn, Dawnbringer Riven, Nightbringer Yasuo, & Star Guardian Ahri. 5 legendaries in one year is quite a lot when you look at it!

Now what I'm trying to say in this post is simple: which champion(s) do you think or feel are going to get the next legendary skin(s) or feel like they should receive one next?

I'm going set a few guidelines/rules first though:

  1. It must be a champ that hasn't received a skin within roughly say a year: So champs that have just gotten some skins within the last 6 months or so, like Cassiopeia Yorick and soon to be Viktor are completely out. However, someone like Garen who received that Warring Kingdoms skin at the beginning of the year would be fine as it would be roughly a full year since he's gotten a skin.

  2. To keep things a bit fair, it cannot be a champ that already has a legendary or even an ultimate skin:LeeSin Ahri Ashe Darius CaitlynEzreal Galio Janna Jinx Kayle Lux MasterYi Nasus Nocturne Nunu Olaf Riven Sona Skarner Sion Rumble Teemo Thresh Tristana Tryndamere Udyr Veigar Vladimir Yasuo Anivia DrMundo Chogath (double for him) and even Draven & Fiddlesticks (since they have skins that are classified as legendary) are all out since they have legendaries already. Skins such as Red BaronCorki or Alien InvaderHeimerdinger do not count as they are not legendary standard (so yes Annie can be a candidate).

  3. It also should be a champ that has more than their base launch skin: sorry Kled Ornn Kayn Ivern Illaoi Camille Rakan Xayah

  4. Finally, it should also try to stay to champions that are super up to date or bound to get reworked very soon: So Swain would be acceptable since he's getting reworked and would be eligible for a nice legendary rather than say Malphite since we don't know any news of him getting updated or not in the soon-to-be future. You're still more than welcome to suggest champs like that but let's be honest, Riot probably won't waste resources on someone who's kit and appearance are both outdated and are in need of work.

I'd likeJhin Ekko Shen Quinn Braum Lucian

Breaking your rules AurelionSol Rakan Xayah KaynKledTaliyah TahmKench too.

If I could just straight up choose the skins next year I'd give 1820** project** to Shen or Quinn with the full project line up being Quinn Shen Diana Vayne Kayn .

** Halloween skins** next year would be next level and Jhin would get the legendary along with really cool TahmKench AurelionSol KledEkko skins. I would have them all just be Haloween themed too so they don't get tied down by relating to each other. TahmKench could have void or an alice in wonderland/white rabbit theme while Jhin has something completely different. Doesn't matter.

Legendary Gatekeeper Braum along with 1350 gatekeeper Karma Bard .

**Star Guardian **Taliyah along withIrelia Akali Xayah Rakan .

Shenpai hasn't received an official skin in 5 years. Since Warlord came out in 2012 and TPA doesn't count due to team skins. He is now the new Yorick meme.

Revelant name !

Yes everyone ask for a Shen skin. Even 1350 RP would be a great start ! He may not be the most picked toplaner but I still do see him a bit. Everywhere on boards people ask for a skin on him. Yorick, check. Cassio, check. Viktor, check. Time to do Shen, no? If Rito doesn't make one for the followings months they might just have lost their Wi-Fi connexion.

I really wanted Dawnbringer Shen and Nightbringer Zed. These skins were perfect for them. Kinda the missee opportunity if you ask me.

I hope that we get a VS event yearly from now on. That competition of order and chaos fighting each other was extremely fun and entertaining. There were so many philosophical discussions about both sides in the boards.

And having 2 champions clash outside of actual games and getting a lore fight in an alternative universe is great. Maybe we can get Shen and Zed fighting each other next year.

Other great candidates for such a fight: Vi VS Jinx OR Caitlyn VS Jinx Jayce VS Viktor Kassadin VS Malzahar Kalista VS Hecarim Rammus VS RekSai Nasus VS Renekton Rengar VS Khazix

And of course, the grand finale.

That's true an event would be cool. I loved how the Nightbringer/Dawnbringer worked out. There was no good or bad, black or white. You just choosed what you wanted and followed your own side of the adventure.

Shen and Zed have one of my favorite lore. They are very tied and so complicated. There is so much more than just basic ennemies. It's kind of they are on opposite sides, full of hate but still need to other to keep their full identity. Maybe start of with Shen vs Zed and then second part with Shen/Zed vs Jhin.

Agreed that an event about Jinx vs Vi/Cait would be incredibly funny just like Viktor vs Jayce could be amazing and how about Noxus vs Demacia ? Where you will have to play champs from one side only ?

With the fantastical lore behind and their complicated relation I still don't understand why Riot totally overlook the potential of a big event with two legendary skins for them like Riven/Yasuo. They rather choose to give Zed a bad quality halloween skin nobody likes and ignore Shen once again. Should have make BloodMoon Zed and finally Project Shen! That's what everyone wants idk why they don't want to. I don't have much hopes anymore for a BM Zed after Talon but Project Shen is still possible. Even 1350 RP it be fine. C'mon Rito. I love you a lot but your decisions are very questionable.

It seems they said they would give Shen a skin soon because they give skins to anyone forgotten no ?
