Proposition: Full Metal Rework
While everyone probably knows of Viktor's Glorious Evolution and the result being the Battlecast line of skins we have today, there is another skin line that was originally suppose to be the essential opposite of this Jayce's Full Metal line of skins. However, after this long without a new Full Metal skin, I had felt like perhaps that skin line was forgot about.
Then I remembered, there was something from Kindlejack from 8 months ago when he posted on a thread of mine:
> Full Metal Jayce harkens back to a time before there were really stories or thematic lines for skins. If you see the concept for that skin it's really different and wasn't made to be part of anything; a sort of Art Deco Rocketeer type design that wouldn't look out of place in Bioshock Infinite. I always thought it was a nod to Samus Aran until I saw that concept. Full Metal Rammus is a robo-rammus that would have most likely been designed as a Mecha skin today. And Pantheon well, he kinda looks like he's post-apocalyptic wearing armour made from steel scraps rather than some kind of robotic suit.
> I guess, as we do when we're looking back at old themes, the first question would be 'what is it' and the second would be 'what does it offer players that is different to the plethora of tech skin thematics we currently have'...
This actually inspired me to try and create some new way to reinvent the Full Metal skin line myself starting off with my Full Metal Karthus concept (which I'm considering going back to try to make a better design :P ), with his theme being some sort of Nanomachine type of deal except for his ult being giant orbital death lazers (because a robot karthus skin needs Giant orbital death lazers BECAUSE REASONS)
After designing my Full Metal Karthus concept, I thought "What if Riot actually Reworked the Full Metal line entirely?", in which we'd finally give them a proper theme to go with their design. Not only that, but I feel like we'd be able to give the other skin lines some more story as well, especially Viktor's Battlecast line.
What do you think? Should the Full Metal line of skins be the first (As far as I know) skin line to officially be reworked? Comments are appreciated :)
