What are your bets for the Victorious skin ?

Mine are Top : Trundle ??? Maybe Fiora. IDN , this year there wasn´t really a top laner that took total control of the meta JG : Nidalee has a massive Pick/Ban ratio all across the world. Reksai and Gragas also are pretty big names Mid : Viktor has a pretty high pick ban ratio (The highest in EU and LCK), so she is a massive candidate. However , Vladimir acually has a higher pick/ban ratio then Viktor , so he is also a massive contender. Cassie really has shown up recently , but Riot hates her and her meta take over is kinda recent so I doubt that it will be her ADC : The role that I doubt that will get the skin , since Sivir got it last year , but if I had to choose , I would go with Ashe. Support : Karma is a massive contender , being the 4 most picked/banned champ in NA , the 3 in EU and the 6 in the LCK. I could see her getting the skin. Bard also could get the skin , but a lot like Cassie , he is a underdog.

Summing up my thoughts , Viktor , Vlad , Nid and Karma would be my bets.

JG : Nidalee has a massive Pick/Ban ratio all across the world.

She's already the Challenger skin of the year, so she wouldn't get the Vict skin too.

ADC : The role that I doubt that will get the skin , since Sivir got it last year , but if I had to choose , I would go with Ashe.

Eh, I don't really think it matters if one got it the year before. I mean, season 2 was Janna and season 4 was Morg and they were both chosen because of their supporting (rather then Morg for being a mid). So they could always choose another ADC, we never know.

Why would Riot hate Cassiopeia? I haven't heard anything about them hating her.

Also, what about Azir? I thought he was a pretty dominant middle laner.

Are you kidding me ? Riot hates Cassie due to her being hard to balance. Notice how her last skin was a forever ago , and she spent season 5 in the shadows , due to overnerfing and a really crappy rework in the end of season 4 . If look up her past , it´s only Riot butt pounding her

And as for Azir, he started out as a massive pick , but he really dropped out as a top tier pick. Maybe he is going to get the Championship skin ?

Well, that's her past. Now her rework has gone through and she's a much more healthy pick.

So, there's been Jarvan IV, Janna, Elise, Morganna, and Sivir which makes the order Top, Support, Jungle, Mid, and ADC so logically it would be a Top/Jungler. Nidalee got a Challenger skin, so I would assume she's exempt from getting one which is a safe guess. Gragas is popular along with Illaoi and Ekko. Surrounding all the hype of the Assassin rework...

You know what, I'm going to guess Yasuo or Darius.

someone has no clue how victorious skins are picked.

The most influential 1/2 of competitive play determines the champ. Not solo q

Morgana was chosen for her powerful arise as a support, she literally changed the meta in down there, în the bot lane.

Also, Victorious skins are chosen based on how much the champion has influenced the meta. Some of them created amazing Team Comps (Sivir with her Teamfight comp), some destroyed the Meta (Morgana removing the aggressive Tank Supports, Elise practically dominating any non-Early Game Jungler).

For example, Tank Ekko had a really huge impact in the Top Lane. Very few champions could match both his Utility and Damage, and most of the games were with him picked or banned until he was nerfed. Today he isn't as annoying as before, but he is still picked consistently.

Annie, Twisted Fate or Ezreal, same for Challenger skin

If an ADC got it I'd expect Graves. Kindred was massive all season. Victor was extremely reliable but I feel like he's got the Orianna effect where it's not flashy enough.

My bets are Ekko, Kindred, Gangplank, or Graves, since all of them were such high priority P/Bs. Nidalee I think is out of contention just due to being the previous Challenger skin, or she'd be on the list too. Soraka also had a massive year but like Karma I don't think they want to give it to a support again. (Sad.)

Championship: jhin/lucian Victorious: Fiora Rek sai/nunu Viktor/Urgot Lucian/jhin Alistar/Karma

I'm surprised absolutely no one has mentioned Graves and Lucian. These two have been pretty popular since the start of the season.

Another serious contender I would say is Naut. He was really popular during the spring split. He's got some buffs coming up so I'm guessing he could indeed be the one.

My personal pick would be Karma. But I'm hoping she gets Challenger or Championship so that I can buy her. I've been too busy this year to play ranked seriously.

By far the biggest champ all season is Ekko.

For adc I would say Lucian since he started the whole armor pen and mobility meta botlane

Victorious Cassiopeia of course!

I think they'll pick a mid champion since they like to balance it out. Since GP and Vlad have comedominate mid as well as top, I feel like it could be one of those two, but they might skip them for Malz or something else that is a true mid champ.

Sadly if it is any jungler, it will be cause they were over tuned and crowed out picks cause of numbers, not cause of any true play style or kit synergy.

Top was not a big part of this season, and almost anything could be played.

At the invitational jin was played as was quite role defining and i think has just as good of as chance as ashe on this one.

Vlads surge was to late into the season and skin design would of already taken place. Azir was quite the pick early in the season so he also has a shot.

Karma.

People were begging for Viktorious last year and the year before but it never happened.

We can't really just ''guess'' which champion will get the Victorious skin. But I would like to give ''opinions'' to your theories.

Top : Trundle ??? Maybe Fiora. IDN , this year there wasn´t really a top laner that took total control of the meta Actually there wasn't so... That is random... JG : Nidalee has a massive Pick/Ban ratio all across the world. Reksai and Gragas also are pretty big names Nidalee got the Challenger skin. It's not really likely for her to get the Victorious also. Mid : Viktor has a pretty high pick ban ratio (The highest in EU and LCK), so she is a massive candidate. However , Vladimir acually has a higher pick/ban ratio then Viktor , so he is also a massive contender. Cassie really has shown up recently , but Riot hates her and her meta take over is kinda recent so I doubt that it will be her I don't feel like Victor is a potential candidate for the Victorious theme but Vlad has got a chance there ADC : The role that I doubt that will get the skin , since Sivir got it last year , but if I had to choose , I would go with Ashe. I don't think Ashe would get it since she JUST got a Brand new (hahaha funny.) PROJECT skin Support : Karma is a massive contender , being the 4 most picked/banned champ in NA , the 3 in EU and the 6 in the LCK. I could see her getting the skin. Bard also could get the skin , but a lot like Cassie , he is a underdog. Mr. Bardie should get it because he is... Mr. Bardie, right?

Top: Gangplank, Ekko, Poppy, Trundle, and Swain all rose hell for a bit with Ekko and Trundle remaining the most relevant throughout the year. Trundle is also a flexpick so he could be seen as a support as well.

Jungle: Kindred, Elise, Reksai, Graves and Gragas are really the only thing that's ever played in the jungle, but Graves is what the majority of people gravitated towards throughout the year.

Mid: Azir, Lulu, and Viktor all had their time to shine with Azir by far being the most dominant one throughout the season.

I highly doubt ADC is getting it but even if it was almost every ADC throughout this season was insane at one point or another so no point in even trying to guess.

Support: Alistar by far. A ton of other supports have seen play this year, but none as dominant as Alistar despite all his nerfs. Karma is a flexpick so that stat of her being an insanely prioritized champ is misleading.
