@Riot, when the time comes for Kayn skins, would there be a chance to see him getting a dual theme?

Blue Moon Wolf··62 votes·6,672 views

What I mean is, with the different forms Kayn has, he has the potential for skins that actually have two themes in one. Something like taking a Infernal skin and a Freljord skin and combine them into one skin for him. Shadow Assassin would become the freljord aspect, creating ice effects on his abilities, and Raahst would take on the Infernal aspect, giving him fiery effects while his base form would be a sort of hybrid of the two. I think there could be a lot of potential for him skin wise in this sense, trying out many different dual themed skin combos, for example:

>Bio-Forge <-> Steel Legion Arcade <-> Boss Battle Radiant <-> Lunar Wraith Program <-> Battle Cast Warden <-> Marauder Swen Chaos <-> Toy

To me, I think it would really set him apart on the skin front and give him his own niche to work with when coming up with skin designs for him.

I uh.... really want this Kayn skin tho.

Really any Kayn skin, any Kayn skin where he's not wearing a stupid hat.

I really, really, REALLY hate his release skin. I don't think I've ever thought a skin looked straight-up bad before, but that hat... good god, that hat.

He looks like a very shiny, over-armored farmhand.

Akatsuki <-> Hidden Leaf

Puts on nerd glasses

Well, the Akatsuki were a mercenary group turned terrorist activists and the Village Hidden in the Leaves was one of the many villages that were fighting them.

Takes off nerd glasses

But I like the reference.

I agree with this idea in its entirety! Maybe a Darkstar Rhaast and a Cosmic Kayn? [sona-playing]

Skelenth6 votes

Darkstar Rhaast and Star Guardian Kayn :P Other ideas could be: Void <-> Elderwood Special Forces <-> Omega Squad or even Ionia <-> Noxus The idea with the last one being to push the extremes a little bit. Rhaast in noxian armor, SA Kayn in... well, clothes.

Azteryz4 votes

darkstar skinlines enemies are indeed the cosmic skinline

also the skins would have to make sense, im referring to the noxian demacian thing

there has to be a clear power struggle from within not an outside ideal although it would be sick to see what kayn would look like if he stuck with the noxians

Lyndris1 votes

What if he starts as Cosmic then Star Guardian SA <-> Darkstar Rhaast?

its project Kayn and Program Rhaast

ZedUsanGovos1 votes

Program is further in the future than PROJECT. It'd be PROJECT <-> Battlecast.

CasterGilgamesh1 votes

battle cast from looking at their splash take place in an apocalyptic sorta future since they are shown in a waste land looking background

ZedUsanGovos1 votes

True to an extent. This is the timeline.

Battlecast vs Mecha happens where Battlecast wins. Giving Viktor full control over Ionia and creating Neo-Ionia from the PROJECT: Overdrive cinematic.

Then later, the PROJECT skins come into existence. Launching a rebellion against Viktor and his creations. After that, the Programs come about, as showcased by their full android-ness, compared to the PROJECT fusion of humans and tech. Then, after THAT, is where we reach Pulsefire-- officially the furthest point in that skin's universe's lore. Although it isn't specified if Pulsefire originates from the Evolution Timeline (BC, Mecha, PROJECT), we can infer from the tech shown by Cait and Ez that it is the farthest point in any timeline, with only Program coming close to it, but still fairly far away. Besides, the Program and PROJECT skins have nothing to do with each other. Dreadnova seems like it'd be the furthest, but I think it's just an alternate universe point where we are in the current League continuity.

Star Guardian Kayn and Darkstar Rhaast is the only skin he needs

Doubt riot will make many kayn skins tbh. Twice the work for the same amount of money.

I want

Arclight <-->Infernal Tundra <-> Volcanic

Blue Moon Wolf1 votes

Ah, damn. I wanted to add Arclight but couldn't think of an opposite theme for it and Volcanic <->Tundra works a lot better then Freljord <-> Infernal. Good call [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Cosmic <--> Dark Star

Star Guardian Rhaast and Void Kayn (?) [leblanc-funny]

Trick or Treat Kayn. Shadow Assassin will trickster in a spooky get-up, while Rhaast will be an actual scary monster.

Odyssey Yasuo3 votes

Nightbringer<->Dawnbringer

Barbarian/Gentlemen.

Lyndris1 votes

Who is the Gentlemen?

Haven't the faintest idea.

I'd prefer it be Rhaast. Could you see a darkin being prim and proper? Would be amazing!

hey this is an amazing idea! though i must add im fairly sure mecha and battlecast are the 2 opposing skinlines not program=P

Mogarl1 votes

I don't know that any of them are directly opposing. If anything though it's Project v. Battlecast. Mecha Sion refers to project as old tech; Battlecast has existed the same time or longer than Project.

I'd go with normal Kayn = Project Shadow Kayn = Program Rhaast = Mecha

Project Kayn and Battlecast Rhaast

NineTailedMystic2 votes

Only if you don't complain that he basically needs triple the work (read: time) per skin for base Kayn, SA, and Darkin.

Spank the Fox1 votes

But he's a mobile assassin so the units sold would fly through the roof.

SzGamer2272 votes

He's only a mobile assassin in 20% of games. The other 80% he's a mobile bruiser. [poppy-wink]
