Candidates for: Steel Valkyries/Dreadnova
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

And here are some of my ideas (though I had trouble coming up with them):
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.
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:
would probably feel too similar to Super Galaxy unless they went full Gundam
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
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

Some of my ideas:
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(?).
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.
Kind of similar with Aatrox but he rides an alien into battle, energized pistol and laser axe, etc.
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!
Yeah, he's outdated but when he gets his update this can work.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.
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.
...Idk why but I could just feel her working in there. (or maybe I'm thinking of that other space Jinx concept)
Good recent concept art of him in the series and I'd figure to add him in
Could use a future themed skin so either this or PROJECT
And for more champs that didn't quite make it or are maybes:
could work and count as another evil skin since harbinger but meh
similar scenario and just works less than Kass
Would make sense and have similar feel like Darius but not a lot to go off of effects
May work pretty well but not quite sure.
already has a space themed skin
just got Pulsefire and characterwise doesn't really fit so no
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)
May work pretty well but not a whole lot of looks coming to my head
Kind of has the whole cyborg/robot thing done enough you know
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.
