Summoners Rift Re-Skin (Event) Ideas!
In a different thread, someone posted a quote from a (in)famous dragon. A couple WoW related jokes were made. Making a joke about the towers in the Stormwind Gates being on fire for 2 & 1/2 years, and The Park that got #rekt (lol, getting under the map from there was the best! Oh, pre-CATA days, how I miss you so.) it sparked an idea. Time to babble less about a different game that alot of people hate (and I still love), and get to the point!
Deathwing's destruction of the WoW in game map got me thinking. Wouldn't it be kinda cool to see a magma/desolated/hell themed summoners rift? Maybe make more fire-themed skins for champs to go along with the ones we have (like Firefang Warwick, Brand, Wildfire Zyra, etc)
Another idea I had (with more thought) came to mind. There are A LOT of Void themed champions! Anyone remember the first cinematic? Ryze was running from Nocturne in that nightmarish, desolate place? Maybe a Void themed Summoners Rift? I think that would be cool. It could come with a new Void champion too, and have a big event like the Shurima event with Azir. In-game challenges, Rewards, a cool story to go with it, the works!
Some thoughts/ideas that could make it cool
- A new (void-themed) champ
- A Void themed temp re-skin of Summoners Rift
- A story/lore site, like the one for the Freljord and Shurima
- A new temp game-mode
*Summoners Rift appearance ideas:
- replace trees with rock-ish pillars (kinda like the ones seen in the first Cinematic, the ones Ryze was jumping over while running away from Nocturne)
- replace water with weird, blackish mirk
- Lighting is grim, dark, to set the mood (like the Doom Bot game-mode)
- Make colors more grim/dark themed
- replace torches with flaming skulls on spears
- Make baron look more scary (maybe kinda like the SR update baron)
- make Golems/bluebuff less mossy, and more on fire, Lizard on fire, Wolves skeletal and decaying, and make Wraiths/Wright completely black
- enemy Health-bars turn blood red, friendly turn dark blue
- Special Interactions between the champions and the map (ex: Rengar could make a comment on how hes even harder to see when he enters either Jungle)
- ground is dark grey/black with various details like spilled blood/guts
- Bushes look dead/decaying
- give the general look of the place a really creepy/ominous feel to it
Anyways, any of you guys got any cool event ideas? Or anything to add on to mine? I think it would be really cool to see a Void event.
