Now that we've gotten some Magical Girl skins...

Melledoneus·Oct 7, 2016·17 votes·2,063 views

Can we get some really manly animesque skin themes?

I'm talking Guts, Jojo, Dragon Ball, the sort.

For example... Tryndamere would have a Berserker skin. Or Shen's spirit sword would be a sword stand that can shield him and his allies. Or Lee Sin would be shooting energy blasts/breaking the ground with his moves. Hell, we could even have a Koro-sensei Kassadin skin.

Eh, whatever. This is harder than it looks.

Edit: We could see an Alchemist Ezreal or a Senpai/Host club series of skins. (Thinking Shen, Jayce, Talon, Twisted Fate, Taric, maybe add in Gnar?)

The entire Super Galaxy skin line is a homage to the series.

Not enough muscles and manly yelling.

Not enough [...] manly yelling.

Clearly you haven't been paying attention. Sooooo many people are annoyed by the skin because he's always yelling.

MelledoneusOct 7, 20163 votes

It's nothing as manly as Colonel Louis Armstrong or Jotaro Kujo/Dio's battle cries.

Remember fizz shouting that he CHAAAARGES his ultimate in the super galaxi skins.... it wasnt manly but it was at least yelling

MelledoneusOct 7, 20161 votes

It's like comparing the roar of Star Platinum to a little kid screaming.

Manly screaming like like Demonblade Tryndamere's ultimate roar.

Why not Velkoz for Koro sensei? http://img.memecdn.com/good-guy-korosensei-assassination-classroom_o_4468707.jpg

I dunno, Koro sensei is humanoid? It's hard to fit him into one without sacrificing something.

VeltoxOct 8, 20161 votes

He was but Velkoz matches better with his professor part(without disintegration of course unless u talk about the moon)

The comment below is correct and I am stupid.

GreenLoreOct 7, 20164 votes

Actually there is a difference between otakus and weeaboos(and technically there can be male and female otakus/weeaboos).

Otakus are defined by their obsession with Anime/Manga,buying a lot of animestuff and generally investing a lot of money and time into Anime-related stuff,but thats about it.

A weeaboo is someone who is obsessed with japan as a whole and tries to become more "japanese",basically trying to adjust to the japanese culture(even if they aren't in japan),trying to learn japanese through anime,use japanese words for no reason,etc.

So not every weeaboo is an Otaku and not every Otaku is a weeaboo(though the term weeaboo is thrown around so carelessly nowadays that it pretty much devolved into an insult for animefans in general )

Ezreal would have a Star Guardian Lux poster in his room, though.

Overall I think the problem is that so far they rarely do skins that reference specific characters at all.

I mean look at demon vi for example,she could have easily be made into a female hellboy for the sake of making a hellboy reference,but riot just didn't want to do that and made her into something more original,with the similarity being rather small.

In a similar way the star guardians take inspiration from multiple magical girl series,not just a specific one.

So I simply doubt that they'll do that many skins based on specific characters and will likely do more based on specific genres.(Or make skins that reference a series as a whole)

How about Aurelion Sol and his orbiting Deagonballs?

MelledoneusOct 7, 20162 votes

That could work, but I feel like Shenron isn't interesting enough to base a skin off of.

Now, an Earthworm Aurelion Sol skin would be hilarious.

Tryndamere Guts. Or if you really have aatrox love, he could get it too It's hard to integrate stands from Part 3-7 JJBA... Kindred could work. Or Ekko. You could try something to reference Dio, like Vladimir

I tihnk maybe a better idea would be to have Shonen anime-based skins that are more of an epitome of the manga type, rather than a specific character. As the Super Galaxy skins have done.

Final Boss Veigar pays homage to Retro final bosses with his multitude of quotes and design, so we could have something like that.

Honestly, Star Guardian Skins are just fanservice. And they weren't even asked for that much; there were many other more requested skins. Heck, they were hardly asked for at all in comparison to other skins. (Star Guardian Urgot, is, I assume, a joke).

VeltoxOct 8, 20161 votes

Dio would work better on Draven personality wise.
