It's been two weeks. My 2nd year of college ends quite soon. I'm excited, but also excited to continue this series. Let's dive right in.

Steel Valkyries:

Fairly new skin lineup that co-exists with Dreadnova. When you take a look at it, it basically revolves around exo-suits/rigs. Includes, but not limited to: guns, jetpacks, future sci-fi looks. It's a pretty straight forward concept that has potential for many champs.

Current lineup consists of Kaisa MissFortune

And here are some of my ideas (though I had trouble coming up with them):

Lucian kind of a no brainer. He fits really well, abilities could easily be shown off for a exo-suit, even with his guns. Could even be his legendary that he gets.

Quinn Can work with how she is now. Valor acts as wings, she can get the future look, etc. Only issue is that this may interfere with the PROJECT theme that some want and Riot may be looking at her again in the future (but I'm not completely sure on that last bit).

Some other champs that I considered but didn't make it:

Rumble would probably feel too similar to Super Galaxy unless they went full Gundam

Jayce Kind of thought based on his Q leap and would be an interesting exo-suit concept but I scratch that for being too complex and because I hate Jayce

Kayle WAY too similar to Aether Wing Kayle

Dreadnova:

One of my favorite recent skinlines to come out from Riot. It's basically space pirates, mixed in with a bit of Starcraft and Warhammer 40k. You can't really go wrong with that.

Current lineup consists of Gangplank Darius

Some of my ideas:

Aatrox with his rework hopefully coming out sometime in June (at least that's what I'm hoping on), Aatrox could use a new skin and Dreadnova I feel could be a good start. Have a neat energy sword, be like this alien marauder, etc. It could work when we see his update(?)/rework(?).

Graves kind of feel I should add him in. Laser shooting shotgun, thruster backpack for E, mini drone unit for W, there is possibility here. May clash with concept of PROJECT though, but I feel this is better.

Kled Kind of similar with Aatrox but he rides an alien into battle, energized pistol and laser axe, etc.

Urgot There was a concept of Dreadnova Urgot around the time of his rework and while I didn't agree with it, it did give that possibility. His shotguns again could be energy-based, visuals could work, R execute could be like dragging enemies into a thermal reactor to vaporize them. There are a few ideas and GOD DAMMIT HE NEEDS A NEW SKIN!

Mordekaiser Yeah, he's outdated but when he gets his update this can work. If you play HotS, you probably know about Leoric and his Space Lord skin. That's how I picture Mord. Very futuristic, kind of a Darth Vader meets Thanos look and feel.

MonkeyKing Similar to Mord, if you play SMITE, you know about the Dark Lord Sun Wukong skin. Again, that's kind of how I feel this could be. That is to say if Wukong gets updated and this is purely for me wanting that skin in League, but hey it's still a concept.

Jinx ...Idk why but I could just feel her working in there. (or maybe I'm thinking of that other space Jinx concept)

Swain Good recent concept art of him in the series and I'd figure to add him in

Talon Could use a future themed skin so either this or PROJECT

And for more champs that didn't quite make it or are maybes:

Kassadin could work and count as another evil skin since harbinger but meh

Malzahar similar scenario and just works less than Kass

Olaf Would make sense and have similar feel like Darius but not a lot to go off of effects

Rengar May work pretty well but not quite sure.

Renekton already has a space themed skin

Riven just got Pulsefire and characterwise doesn't really fit so no

Shyvana Just my personal take since there could be possibility but best saved for elsewhere (unless Riot knows how to make dragons look like alien species)

Sion May work pretty well but not a whole lot of looks coming to my head

Viktor Kind of has the whole cyborg/robot thing done enough you know

Warwick small idea at the time. Could show him as a bit of an alien if we wanted, but may stretch his theme.


Anyways those are my suggestions, but what are yours? Did I miss some ideas that you might have? List them down below and discuss (That's the point of this series!) and while your at it, suggest what skin line you'd like for me to bring up next time. Until then, I need to finish a CSC program, survive my last school week + finals.

I expect Aether Wing Kayle to be VGU'd into either the Hextech line or Steel Valkyries.

Talon would be a PROJECT instead of Dreadnova, same with Jinx. Warwick would end up being Battlecast or Mecha if he did get a futuristic skin.

Dread nova azir, is what we need. Just imagine that skin in place a one man army with high gear soliders with red laser spears his tectonic staff.

A legendary Bullet Angel Quinn skin would be amazing.
