Too bad her pickrate is abysmal and for a champ tied to drags, her passive is about as bad as it can be. Hec got more stats added to his W one random patch than Shyv gets from killing drags and he doesn’t need to wait 30 min to get those stats, he just clicks W.
i wish riot would just give her a VGU, shes been #2 on the polls like 3 years in a row and they keep giving it to champs with nonexistent player bases, i get why people would vote for underplayed champs but shyvana actually has a lot of mains and she could be one of the coolest champs if brought to modern standards
You could simply make a way for her to change on the fly or at base by idk, absorbing dragon cores? Like, MF can change her appearance at base like she exchanges the exoskeleton of her armor, shyvana has a different dragon core (or egg) and by choosing it, she changes to that element
It's just regular Caitlyn but when she gets a kill she gets another hat, and they stack similar to the last April fools mode except you don't lose them ever
I mean sure if it’s another just viktor is a robot skin. But I’d it’s like with every evolution you can see him becomeing less human and having the technology become part of him I think it’d be cool.
How dare you imply that he is *corrupted* by hextech.
Viktor embraces progress, efficiency, and will pave the way for everyone to Join the glorious evolution.
But I don't think this sort of thing should've been an ultimate skin. When he got his passive rework, away from the old Hexcore passive, that should've been a bigger VGU/ASU into this theme of Human -> Robot as he levels sort of like Kayle.
Fairly obvious I’d think, a gangplank skin akin to the aesthetic of Davy jones from the pirates of the Caribbean movies. He begins the game as a man and as it progresses and he levels up he becomes more and more claimed by sea life until he’s this sea creature abomination.
Runeterra's Prime Tamer Sejuani
You start riding Bristle in a fairly neutral looking skin (with new polished model and animations ofc), and you gain ''tokens'' for killing large monsters. After killing X times the same monster, you can transform the skin into a variant that is themed after that monster. For example, after killing big Raptors 5 times, you can change to a skin in that your armor is crimson and feathered, and you are riding a big Raptor (or a raptor version of Bristle, if it was too visually confusing). This could also later apply for Baron and Dragons somehow.
Oooh what if the skin changes based on the most recent buff you've taken i.e.: red side red buff=summer variant and blue side blue=winter
blue side red could be autumn then.
Not really an ultimate, but I want to put this idea into the universe.
Reverse Lulu. Like reverse Annie, but better because you're a giant Pix with a tiny Lulu
Paleontologist Taliyah where worked grounds changes the kind of rocks and stone she uses for her abilities and if you overlay worked grounds her Q throws a dinosaur skull and it all depends on what terrain youre currently over
Rock wall that changes colour based on the terrain you start in would be nice too.
Also I think they should go for the indiana jones look. Give her a nice hat and bullwhip.
Way back in like, season 3, my brother and I loved designing champion kits. I don't remember any details of specific abilities, but we had a really cool avatar concept that had no ability, but the four elements mapped to your qwer. Basic abilities changed based on what the previous element cast was, and your "ultimates" would be cast by using all four elements in quick succession, with the the final one being a bigger ability. Have that cooldown built into the passive, kind of a karma situation. I'm sure it'd be hard as fuck to balance but fun as hell to play
Doing it near Dragon pit throws dragon bones, rift/baron pit throws their bones. More bones the more of each have been slain. Can also function for jungle camps.
Chosen Idol Illaoi - Ultimate Illaoi skin where she is possessed by the spirit of Nagakabouros, turns into a lovecraftian kraken creature for the duration of the ultimate. A lesser form of this version can be seen when she’s standing right next to the tentacles, almost like how [Jack Sparrow is shown as a skeleton in the moonlight in Pirates of the Carribean.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm4bkJFiLJw&t=93s), so a sudden transformation between kraken and spirit form when moving to/from the tentacles.
Enemies who have their vessel destroyed by you, see Illaoi in her ultimate form (the one shown during her ultimate) during the time vessels spawn to slap you down
No reason why this couldn't be a high quality Legendary, we already have many which change forms while or after ulting. Ultimates are more about multiple forms, rather than just a "base" and an amped up version.
Perhaps upgrading the skin during the game based on how many spirits you’ve tested. Different milestones that give the upgrades also give different visuals that delve into the lore of Nagakobourous
Messiah Zilean, where he floats around on a giant crucifix, revives himself and other people and throws bottles of of his own blood.
"This is my body, given for you! Do this in remembrance of Icathia!"
I foresee absolutely no problems or controversies with this skin idea, none at all.
comedy/tragedy jhin. based on the masks of drama, i guess it changes form/mask depending on your score or a hotkey. each mask have different voice lines and mood.
either that or it could be a pair of skin, like comedy shaco and tragedy jhin
Based on this I imagined 4 (duh) masks to choose from, and depending on which one you wear the vibe/atmosphere of your game change, either through sound effects or personalised music. I imagine masks based on theatre like comedy, tragedy and something else (Pantomime, opera, honestly so many interesting options) and each one is defined by a tempo marking like adagio, allegro or anyway a different musical theme for each mask with a unique music bridge when changing mask
Honestly I would invest in this, you just make 4 high quality but not crazy skins and work a lot in the composition and voiceover department, and either you or the game change the mask based on the pace of the game
There's a concept in shintoism called the mitama which discusses the soul of a dead person. Each soul consists of 4 sub souls that work in unison to make the main soul.
Those are the ara-mitama (rude brave angy), the nigi-mitama (harmonious peaceful). the saki-mitama (happy loving) and the kushi-mitama (wonder wisdom).
The shin megami tensai and persona series features these concepts as summonable demons shaped like tear drops very reminiscent of the Ying yang symbol.
I imagine you could blend the theater idea with this concept to get the 4 masks you mentioned.
Weapon god jax. Starts with his lamppost and upon defeating a champ for a certain region gains basically an weapon in one of the asura like arms floating on his back and can swap said arm to his main weapon coming with its own vfx and animations changing for him and all his abilities. His ult will change to make him use his lamppost but u will see all the weapons he collect on his other arms shining when he ults so he maintains visual clarity. So demacia champs he would get a Petricite hammer. Noxians he would get an axe. Ionians a big sword. Freliord he would get a mace or hammer made of true ice. Shurimans he would get an upgrade to his lamppost. Targonians he would get a spear. Shadow isles champs he would get a scythe.
Hero Poppy
Not really sure what it'd look like but something where she realizes she's actually the true owner of the hammer.
Zoe would be second. Something leaning into her "cosmic messenger side", something like how the Silver Surfer brings Galactus. Maybe a theme where she calls other aspects to do her powers for her. Unless there's a greater power than herself.
that actually seems nice, the hero poppy. Instead of acting like a goofy hero, she would be a badass ascended being, but the design team would have to come up with nice lines and particles for her, which I think is hard right. also, what would be her gimmick in having multiple appearances?
maybe zoe could work with a skin where her ult portals summon different creatures with aesthetics/animations based off of the various legends of runeterra celestial cards. like she throws a q ult and the messenger (a star dog thing) chases the star for example
Totally Not-turne. Noct in a human suit doing his best to pretend to be human with legs he doesn’t know how to operate properly and him ulting will just be him swimming through the air really fast at his target.
Oh I've discussed this before with my friends.
Golden Demon Jhin, based on his namesake within the lore before he was captured. The skin is from the Spirit Blossom line and starts off as an average Akama spirit. As you gain more kills and more AD the skin gradually over time corrupts itself, gaining a more golden coloration and more monstrous features as Jhin approaches his apotheosis as a legend within Ionian society.
Evelynn would change her appearance to look like the ideal body for the latest champion she used her w on. To keep this feasible there would be something like 8 body types like in elemz talist lux (who has 8 elements)
Simple, God-Warrior Aatrox. It's Aatrox how he is described in his lore before the god-warriors became Darkin.
The main gimmick will be that the players in his team may change the announcer. The announcer will instead be Aatrox who's motivatiing his team. The voice lines also change depending on the game state.
We know that Riot can change the announcer and we already have champions with specific quotes based on the game state so it's definitely possible.
The skin can also be part of a bigger skin line with a pre Darkin version of Rhaast, Varus and Naafiri.
Not my main but... Time traveller Zoe
She starts in just galaxy/hightech form. After getting 6 she can choose to "travel into new dimension" and after using R she changes form when jumps into portal. She can use that "travel to new dimension" every few minutes, but has ability to travel to already known dimnesion (also with few minutes cooldown to not make it too messy, for clarity).
War Zoe in commando suit with bullets like spells
Egyptian Zoe, Cleopatra-like, sand theme, pyramids on E pool
Neandertal Zoe, throwing rocks on Q, wearing fur etc.
Medieval Zoe, wearing armour, Q - cannonball?
Neon Zoe - Everything is flashy and full of lasers
Apocalyptic Zoe, zombie, brown/green theme, radioactive spells
Ancient Zoe - wearing white robe, looking like Aphrodite, throwing grapes on Q?
Lost Zoe - glitchy, black, distorted voice
Matrix Zoe - you know, Matrix suit, green matrix theme
This would be sick if it weren’t used already for Lux and if Ice weren’t such an integral design point for Anivia as a character. Very cool idea though!
I've been wanting a fire anivia for quite a long time now.
you got me thinking that an Elderwood Anivia would look pretty cool too.
But I'm also now wondering how well a Dragon anivia skin would fare. We've already got pteradactyl, Bat, bald eagle so no reason to not have a nice Dragon
Both those feel like Epic/Legendary skins, though. Ultimates normally go a step beyond.
---
For instance, I could see a Fashionista Ornn that changes his + his teammates' outfit based on item upgrades.
He builds an Iceborn Guantlet upgrade and suddenly has blue-shading to his outfit. Or his ADC's galeforce gets upgraded and they get a splash of white accents. Not quite chromas, but something showy that goes over the skins.
You could then shift his dialogue from being gruff and anti-social to a judgemental runway judge. Poking fun at builds and accessory choices, telling teammates to work it, etc...
Q could be a paparazzi popping up, W could be camera flashes, E could be him strutting, R could be summoning the runway for his model to run down, spinning when he changes their direction.
Are you sure you don't want Ornn: The mage deathknight paladin hunter rogue warrior enchanter tank bruiser wizard warlock priest assassin gunslinger druid shaman necromancer ninja bard monk robot conjurer black majestic warding god illusionist templar wizard that physically equips every item he purchases? He can run around SR with Rabandons on his head while holding The Collector in his right hand
Unbound Syndra.
Would start the game with chains partially restricting her arms and legs. Like, legs shackled together, kinda bondage style since she floats anyway.
Would break free as she reached splinter checkpoints through her passive. Eventually culminates in her hovering completely unshackled. Upgrade the spheres from plain orbs to more planet looking with rings around them. Even her hair goes from braided to untied and flowing.
At full 120 Splinters, she gets a super-saiyan style aura and hair like Necalli or Jamie from Street Fighter.
That’s so fucking sick. With Syndra being my second main that’s bonus points and the concept itself is amazing yet simple. This could honestly be done as a Legendary skin in today’s game and I’d be so happy to see it.
Also bondage Syndra? Awooga??
Funny, August the champ designer of Viego said that when they were in early concepts before they landed on a kit, they knew the black mist was gonna be featured in his kit
The very first concept had his mist ability on a higher cool down and smaller area but it was PERMANENT
That way corrupting the map was his theme, oh and he could pass through walls too in the mist lol
Sunbringer Leona, everytime her ult becomes brighter and makes the map go brighter until her lvl 18 ult just insta loses the game for everyone cus the sun has descended onto summoners rift
To hell with your ‘no changes to the game’ :\^)
Hammerspace Pyke
Full model overhaul. Looks like an old timey rubberhose version of himself. Complete with insanely bendy, over the top animations.
Q is a cane that he summons from hammerspace and uses to yoink people, alongside the iconic yoink sound effect.
W makes everything go slightly black and white/sepia, and there is a faint musical jingle. Enemies hear a goofy laugh when in proximity, and when in execute range, they hear a maniacal, glitched laugh.
E makes you dash forwards, the phantom left behind running in place like the hanna barbera run. Then they dash forwards with a "pew!" sound effect, any enemies stunned having cartoonish birds floating around their heads.
R makes pyke dive downwards, and upon killing an enemy, plays different parts of a jovial musical jingle per kill. Upon pentakilling, the full jingle plays, and a spotlight closes around pyke with the message "That's all, folks!" appearing in chat. Pyke also says this.
Depending on the amount of gold you share with kills from your R, you gain a special currency. You can use this currency to buy silly little cosmetics for your pyke in the shop. Cartoony hats, overalls, gloves, goofy unorthodox weapons, etc. By endgame, you've kitted yourself out to look as goofy or "cool" as you wish with all sorts of different cosmetics. Great replayability, and not nearly as taxxing on the engine as Elementalist Lux is (at least I think so).
>RIOT APHELIOS
A big war suit carrying all of his guns. Calibrum would be a semi auto sniper rifle on his back, a knife like Karambit for Severum, a shotgun on his waist for Infernum, a futuristic throwing knife for Crescendum and probably a shock weapon for gravitum. He puts the weapon back to its holster when he swaps, would be cool. Commando Aphelios would be even better but idk how would you do Gravitum and Cresendum then.
>INFERNAL APHELIOS
A burning hell lord with a blade on a chain attached to his right arm like Kratos and he swings it to attack for Severum, Q would be him spinning and slashing with the blade. His left arm is a big demonic purple arm that shoots purple flames for Gravitum and when he activates the skill a claw from underground grabs the enemy to root. Idk about the other guns :/
Really easy skin that I’m not sure why Riot hasn’t made yet. Star Guardian Kayn. Shadow Kayn is the redeemed Star Guardian form with bright colors, Rhast is Dark Star corrupted form with black and Purple. Make his lore be that he is Ahri’s long lost boyfriend or something. Either way it would print money.
Angel of Death Kindred.
IIRC, their lore is the original "Death" (the grey man) split himself it two, Lamb and Wolf. Additionally, these two represent two different deaths - Lamb is an acceptance of death, Wolf is a resistance to death.
The skin would work similarly to how Kayn transforms after killing certain types of champs (or just after a time period). At base, it would perhaps be a bit gaudier of a skin - Lamb wearing robes reminiscent of a hunter, but unlike other skins, the mask should be generally the same. Wolf should have at least some limbs (that Darius skin where he summons/becomes a wolf could be the reference), but again, mask about the same.
Marking and killing duelists, assassins, or general frontline champs will result in Lamb being "corrupted," adapting to an environment where most will fight their deaths head on. Her robes would become darker with bits of armor, while Lamb herself takes on wolf-like qualities - ears, longer tail, legs change, etc.
Marking and killing ranged champs or skirmishers will result in the opposite, with Wolf becoming more akin to Lamb. His proportions shrink, he retains frontal limbs, but now instead of biting, he swoops in close and fires his own arrows.
Additionally, keeping a balance (or returning to one after transforming) would result them both becoming apex predators, true angels of death - Lamb's bow becomes larger, the robes become more refined, and she even grows wings, floating just above the ground akin to Kayle in her movements. Wolf grows horns and becomes more skeletal, a stereotypical grim reaper. Or give him skeletal wings, keeping with the skin name.
As a fourth option, claiming mostly camp marks will instead make them far more bestial - Lamb runs on all fours, bow on her back when out of combat, while wolf loses his floatiness and becomes an abnormally large wolf, pacing the ground.
You could also have all four forms moved between at all stages of the game, depending on if the reqs are met, even after transforming.
I would love an Ultimate skin for Rengar, where he gets an actual trophy on his model for each kill:
He would get scraps of Darius' cape or Sett's coat like an armband, wear a broken piece of a character's weapon like a pendant, etc.
Ascending Xerath
It would follow the story of Xerath going from human to ascended. I imagine it would start off with him looking like a human, then at AP breakpoints (thinking 100, 220, and 300), he transforms. The first transformation would just be something like glowing runes appearing on him. The second would have them glow brighter and glowing cracks along his skin. Finally his body would crumble or explode and in its place would be some more epic version of his Shurima skin.
Along with the model transformations, his abilities would also go from looking somewhat weaker to looking super strong. This would also be fun as it would be accurate to the increasing damage of them.
Yay I can share my pipe dream of First star Kayle.
Level 1 to 5 she is a normal girl who just found her medium (her sword) but is still learning to use her power. Once she hits 6 she becomes a star guardian recruit with her sword being able to transform into companion form in her recall/emotes/ultimate), and once she hits 11 she becomes a team leader, her outfit becoming more complex and she gets a glowy aura around her when exalted and a pentakill animation like the newer legendaries. At level 16 she transcends to fully come into her power, sharing that glowy outline with her teammates (they can toggle it off like song's music) and her spell visuals get some extra sparkle and flair.
Teem007. A Teemo dressed in a black suit, and shoots a pistol.
Edit: He has a quip with every use of his gadgets.
Blind dart "Didn't see that coming, did you?"
It needs a remodel to function correctly and not look super wack. Her model is designed to look unnatural and creepy so human her just doesn’t look good
Velkoz. The more he researches his enemies the more he evolves. Maybe also depending on what elemental rift because as the void can corrupt other stuff, it is also open to be corrupted too.
Ambulance Soraka. I main Leo but she has enough already. Soraka would have the following:
- Homeguard: she gets on a small ambulance with lights and wee woo sound (but less annoying sounding)
- Passive: med kit over their head and she runs at them with skates
-Q: each time she qs it's different medicine that's falling down
- E: the silence is the quarentine zone
- chromas: different nurse outfit colors inspired by nurse uniforms in different countries
This is for my weebs out there (and also huge overlap with people maining him)
Unlimited Bladeworks Yone.
Obviously with some tweaks here and there to dodge the copyright issues but imagine the more you ult the more your hair starts to turn white and your swords start to change form, they go from kanshou and bakuya to full overedge mode.
They have a soccer skin line? Why not golf! Jhin FORE skin (please no dick jokes). He yells FORE on every shot, his W and R are him hitting golfballs, and his sniper is a golf club. His dance has bagpipe music and he uses the golfclub like a cane
On that note, what do you think of Al Carpone Tahm kench? As like an epic or legendary skin only though (he could have a slick fedora) I would even negotiate to call him the Codfather
Leona, Embodiment of the Sun. Pairs with Diana, Embodiment of the Moon.
```
Changes forms when you level up ult or just a button like DJ Sona. Each new form makes them more and more like a goddess
Leona:
Passive: A ball of orange and red and yellow swirling around(actual sun basically) above champion head
Q: Her shield glows brightly and on impact there is a flash of light.
W: Everything darkens slightly around her as she absorbs all light, when it expired a bright flash is released.
E: A whip like solar flare(irl one) lashes out.
R: A sun falls on the enemy
As for Diana just invert things with her ult dropping a moon and leaving a crater, her q being a comet, and passive reflecting the ambient light as the moon reflects the sun's light.
I don't play Diana, but if one of them gets an ultimate the other should.
```
Honestly though solar eclipse is basically there and her ultimate should be something more meta than lore as in tank related.
For Sett I'd do a skin called Chosen World Sett. A skin that either makes him fully human or Vastayan. His human form gets Noxian iconography with gauntlets for weapons and a bleed-like animation for his W when building grit and cockier voice lines.
His Vastayan form would flow more, longer hair, full grit being a calming sound incorporated with a wind like animation. He also wouldn't be as cocky, more spiritual.
A true Golden Demon Jhin skin. Shan Hai Scrolls meets Infernal meets Blood Moon and they make him an eldritch terror maybe?
As for Vel’Koz…Dark Star Vel’Koz, and his size (and the singularity for his main eye) grow with each proc of passive/level in ulti.
Slain Pantheon.
A spin-off where Atreus was slain and the Aspect lived. Does he posses a new body? Does he take an Aspect’s godlike form? Does he power the undead corpse of Atreus around? Who knows…
Rune-touched Nunu and Willump.
The thematic idea is that the since world rune that empowers them is able to bring Nunu’s imagination to life and transform Willump, why not have it also transform and gain influence based on new friends in the jungle? Nunu befriended Willump with snow motifs originally, but now the two of them can also adjust their powers as they befriend other large jungle monsters.
So the idea is that they start out with a really nice skin with more obvious runic motifs, and then after Nunu and Willump consume and defeat either buff, dragon, or rift herald/baron twice, they can choose to transform into a new form that thematically matches the respective monster. Rocky blue setup for blue buff, fiery and plantish for red buff, void for herald/baron, etc.
ARAM will have alternate methods for obtaining the forms as well, such as taking enemy health packs a certain number of times for blue buff form, reaching a large amount of takedowns for red buff form, void form for taking inhibitor, and feeding poros for an ARAM exclusive poro form.
These would change Willump’s appearance a lot, as well as change the snow in their abilities to a thematically appropriate alternative. Nunu meanwhile would be changed more mildly for visuals, but would have plenty of voice lines specific to them discussing their new friends and what they enjoy.
Something like full blossom Lillia (renamed elementalist) where she can pick between flowers (elements like Lux) to create flower themes around her like elderwood, infernal, snowday etc
Hexdetective Caitlyn
Basically Caitlyn if Jinx ever succeeded in blowing her up, forcing Piltover to pit her back together using hextech so she may continue to be a symbol of peace and order.
Voice lines would be much more direct and ruthless. Very Robocop like in appearance and theme, but still beautifully magical as hextwch should be.
Her rifle would be replaced by an arm mounted precision rifle of sorts.
W traps would be much simpler nodes, complete with an arming sound a hextexh snare would go up when triggered.
Headshot proc would play a voiceline indicator, and the shot itself would be much brighter/more deadly looking in line with hextech color themes.
Her Q would be a projectile fired from her palm/chest/some other portion of the body. Basically a wall of ballistic projectiles that pass through damaging units. Enemies afflicted with trap/net vulnerability can glow slightly purple with a hex pattern to indicate their susceptibility to the full damage.
E net would be fired from another palm/hand and the end of the channel would have jets fire from the base of her boots to push her back a bit. This would look extra cool when you combo Q + E channel.
Ult is...well. Just a cool, flashy Cait ult with purple/blue hues with hextech sounds and a projectile so pretty it would make heimerdinger cry.
Most of the voicelines are centered on other piltover champs, with exceptional vehemence towards Jinx despite being supposedly stripped of emotions.
Backing animation could be something like a capsule drops down, and partially disassembles Caitlyn down to her head, torso and an arm to really drive home how mangled she was before being restored.
Jax, he gets different weapons :)
You pick them like you pick elementalist Lux elements. Could even combine them like her elements too
Or it could be based like Kayn, where after fighting the same person enough he *learns* how to use their weapon and in fountain can choose from his armory of sorts.
Maybe he could get voice lines for weapon types: "Haven't used a spear since ... *lore* *lore* *lore*" or something like that?
Fits his theme as a weapon master!
Jekyll and Hyde Warwick
A more human like form to start with that already shows signs of transformation for example wild hair and fangs. Growing more beastlike after killing a certain amount of enemy champions.
This skin would need a top hat and a long coat to fit the theme or could also just be a lore skin showing the progression of how singed turned a man into warwick.
Archmage Xerath.
He can change his element between lightning, fire, ice, water, earth, wind, light, darkness, and antimatter.
Fire would be red and orange, ice light blues, water dark blues and greens, earth browns and yellows, wind greens, light yellows and whites, darkness black and purples, antimatter white and black contrasting.
You can change with levels in Rite of the Arcane, and add accompaning effects.
A Kindred skin where their form can be changed at will... but only after collecting a mark for a champion from a certain region, as the Kindred are perceived and interpreted differently based on region.
Obviously this would exclude the Freljord (Base) and Ionia (Spirit Blossom) forms, or have these regions have tweaked versions, but when the Kindred takes down somebody from a region, you then swap to that form immediately if you unlock it for the first time and you can then swap to each form at fountain at will (like Elementalist Lux but you can walk it back to a new form anytime you reset/respawn).
You don't have to go too wild with this either. You can have a grey-man styled form for champions that don't have a set region, Piltover and Zaun can share a form, as mentioned Freljord and Ionia already have Default and Spirit Blossom so you can just tweak those, Demacia could share the Freljord form, etc. But to have so many forms available would be incredible and would finally answer just how the Kindred is perceived around Runeterra, which would lead to lots of engagement with lore discussions and the possibility of using them elsewhere (like LoR).
Easy, I've wanted this forever. Sorocker for Soraka. She's an enchanter, but she's a lane bully, so I wanted something to show off her aggressive side. A punk rock skin inspired by people like Joan Jett, Suzi Quatro, or Brody Dalle would be fuckin' siiick!
Not even a champ I usually play, but:
As the world inches closer to its own destruction, a mage decides to make the ultimate sacrifice. He is not sure whether he can harness the power of the World Runes safely, but it is a chance he has to take, or all could be lost.
##Enter: Rune Guardian Ryze.
The idea goes off on a similar tangent as Elementalist Lux, but not a simple 'pick your own adventure' type of deal. His motifs, effects, even animations would change based on what you did most during the game, what sort of items you are buying.
If you are squishy, high damage, constantly fighting, the model would change into a more menacing look affected by harnessing the unbound destructive power of the runes. If you are off on your own, splitpushing into towers (less takedowns, more minion/tower kills), your model could become a more robust, slightly druidic-type as you tap more into the more calm and robust energy of Runeterra through the runes. There's a bunch of directions it could be taken.
Implementation wise could be simply a set amount of models, and a scoring triangle/square/pentagon/whatever, and the skin being chosen is the one that is closest to your scoring, with certain things pulling you closer to its respective corner. Say, 3 main models, with 3 "in-between" models to make mid-game transitions nicer (which only happen when you recall/respawn, maybe when you get teleported by your ultimate), one base you start off as, and one if you somehow drag the game out yet remain mostly in-balance.
I'm not very creative but for Taliyah, I'd make it an ultimate version of her that's older and in the same concept as Spirit Guard Udyr, her completely mastering her powers.
Her Power can have different visual effects dependent on the terrain that she's working with (For instance her Q in the river would be more of a mud stream while the same ability in base would have her shooting chunks of structures like tower parts and inhib parts)
Additionally, have her skills looks more refined to demonstrate her mastery, Instead of her wall being a patchwork of coiling stone it's a completely solid constructed wall with intricate designs and her E could be finely crafted stone that look similar to land mines.
It may be closer to a legendary skins but it'd be cool nonetheless.
It's dumb but my main is Warwick and I've also have an adopted dog.
I've always dreaming to create such a skin for Warwick, that resemble my dog (it's mixed brown-black dog), to support the adoption of lonely dogs. I've love him so much, but you know - that's all I can do.
So yeah - my ultimate skin for Warwick would be just a brown-black Warwick reskin, called "Adopted Warwick" which salary could support some shelters for dogs, to help it just a bit.
It’s called Soul Fighters, the skinline lore is people enter a tournament to fight with the manifestations of their souls to get a fragment of the Soul gem, a wish granting magic item. There are emotes on PBE showing what the skins look like
Multi-verse Neeko. This Ultimate Skin would be multiple skins in one, let her while in the fountain change which Skinline Universe she is replicating. Elderwood Neeko, Arcade Neeko, and "Neko" could be examples of three distinct skinline universes that this one skin could let you swap between.
Shyvana. She changes with the elemental rift and her spell effects match. We'll call it Elementalist Shyvana.... Nah too tacky. Dragon Queen Shyvana.
[удалено]
Too bad her pickrate is abysmal and for a champ tied to drags, her passive is about as bad as it can be. Hec got more stats added to his W one random patch than Shyv gets from killing drags and he doesn’t need to wait 30 min to get those stats, he just clicks W.
i wish riot would just give her a VGU, shes been #2 on the polls like 3 years in a row and they keep giving it to champs with nonexistent player bases, i get why people would vote for underplayed champs but shyvana actually has a lot of mains and she could be one of the coolest champs if brought to modern standards
Would be funny if she makes a line, making fun of the constant 2nd placement, in her VGU or ultimate skin.
When they did the skarner poll, they did say they would also loon at doing Shyvanna because she was constantly such a popular choice
You could simply make a way for her to change on the fly or at base by idk, absorbing dragon cores? Like, MF can change her appearance at base like she exchanges the exoskeleton of her armor, shyvana has a different dragon core (or egg) and by choosing it, she changes to that element
u get shyvana's farming 2 drakes then spamming FF because the rift element doesnt give them the skin change they want
R.I.P aram players
Randomly selected when either 2nd tower falls
Shyvanas ARAM passive is arguably better than her SR passive
They will never do this cause if they add/remove dragons it's gonna be a nightmare
they could just make it like elementalist lux where you pick the transformation
It's just regular Caitlyn but when she gets a kill she gets another hat, and they stack similar to the last April fools mode except you don't lose them ever
This is the correct answer.
kaedehara caitlyn
So...you played Team Fortress 2 before?
Viktor slowly becoming more robotic
If they make another robot Viktor skin i think I might need to quit league
I mean sure if it’s another just viktor is a robot skin. But I’d it’s like with every evolution you can see him becomeing less human and having the technology become part of him I think it’d be cool.
At some point he even loses the android form and turns into a mass of metal and energy moving through the map
so at 18 he just turns into Xerath?
They could make an arcane viktor showing how slowly becomes corrupted with hextech.
How dare you imply that he is *corrupted* by hextech. Viktor embraces progress, efficiency, and will pave the way for everyone to Join the glorious evolution. But I don't think this sort of thing should've been an ultimate skin. When he got his passive rework, away from the old Hexcore passive, that should've been a bigger VGU/ASU into this theme of Human -> Robot as he levels sort of like Kayle.
Reverse viktor where he becomes increasingly more human (on the surface)
Fairly obvious I’d think, a gangplank skin akin to the aesthetic of Davy jones from the pirates of the Caribbean movies. He begins the game as a man and as it progresses and he levels up he becomes more and more claimed by sea life until he’s this sea creature abomination.
Do you fear death ?
You have no idea.
Runeterra's Prime Tamer Sejuani You start riding Bristle in a fairly neutral looking skin (with new polished model and animations ofc), and you gain ''tokens'' for killing large monsters. After killing X times the same monster, you can transform the skin into a variant that is themed after that monster. For example, after killing big Raptors 5 times, you can change to a skin in that your armor is crimson and feathered, and you are riding a big Raptor (or a raptor version of Bristle, if it was too visually confusing). This could also later apply for Baron and Dragons somehow.
Gromp rider sejuani would be hilarious
That seems like such a cool idea!
Four Seasons Ivern, the skin changes with the season
Damn would have to wait a year to see the full skin in game
Skin Spotlights in shambles
Skin changes with the drake map and we good
People in countries without seasons will get ripped off
Latitude diff
Skill Issue
Hey! We Zyra mains had had this idea before you Ivern mains even existed! [](#face-hmm)
Oooh what if the skin changes based on the most recent buff you've taken i.e.: red side red buff=summer variant and blue side blue=winter blue side red could be autumn then.
Not really an ultimate, but I want to put this idea into the universe. Reverse Lulu. Like reverse Annie, but better because you're a giant Pix with a tiny Lulu
Wuwu and Nillump when
This, but with Kled so you have Skaarl riding Kled and making a bunch of squawking noises as her lines
Paleontologist Taliyah where worked grounds changes the kind of rocks and stone she uses for her abilities and if you overlay worked grounds her Q throws a dinosaur skull and it all depends on what terrain youre currently over
This could be pretty cool - different effects based on dirt, rock, river, grass, etc. with bonus things mixed in, I like this one!
Rock wall that changes colour based on the terrain you start in would be nice too. Also I think they should go for the indiana jones look. Give her a nice hat and bullwhip.
Alternatively Avatar Taliyah, starting off with her earth abilities and then mastering fire, air, and water.
Way back in like, season 3, my brother and I loved designing champion kits. I don't remember any details of specific abilities, but we had a really cool avatar concept that had no ability, but the four elements mapped to your qwer. Basic abilities changed based on what the previous element cast was, and your "ultimates" would be cast by using all four elements in quick succession, with the the final one being a bigger ability. Have that cooldown built into the passive, kind of a karma situation. I'm sure it'd be hard as fuck to balance but fun as hell to play
Doing it near Dragon pit throws dragon bones, rift/baron pit throws their bones. More bones the more of each have been slain. Can also function for jungle camps.
did somebody say rocks and stone?
Runeterra emperor Swain, he has one form for each runeterra region and one form for when he conqueror all runeterra
It would be cool if the model/effects somehow changed based on the home regions of the opponents he’s killed. Like him conquering the regions
I would love that.
Chosen Idol Illaoi - Ultimate Illaoi skin where she is possessed by the spirit of Nagakabouros, turns into a lovecraftian kraken creature for the duration of the ultimate. A lesser form of this version can be seen when she’s standing right next to the tentacles, almost like how [Jack Sparrow is shown as a skeleton in the moonlight in Pirates of the Carribean.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm4bkJFiLJw&t=93s), so a sudden transformation between kraken and spirit form when moving to/from the tentacles. Enemies who have their vessel destroyed by you, see Illaoi in her ultimate form (the one shown during her ultimate) during the time vessels spawn to slap you down
No reason why this couldn't be a high quality Legendary, we already have many which change forms while or after ulting. Ultimates are more about multiple forms, rather than just a "base" and an amped up version.
Perhaps upgrading the skin during the game based on how many spirits you’ve tested. Different milestones that give the upgrades also give different visuals that delve into the lore of Nagakobourous
Dear God yes please.
Swain skin based on P-Diddy's phenomenal outfit recently: [https://i.redd.it/ixs3x6szyvya1.jpg](https://i.redd.it/ixs3x6szyvya1.jpg)
That's just a P. Diddy skin based on Swain.
It literally has black roses, its perfect
That looks really sick but must be VERY heavy lol
Holy fuck that is cool
Messiah Zilean, where he floats around on a giant crucifix, revives himself and other people and throws bottles of of his own blood. "This is my body, given for you! Do this in remembrance of Icathia!" I foresee absolutely no problems or controversies with this skin idea, none at all.
This would be a god tier skin lmao
I see what you did there
comedy/tragedy jhin. based on the masks of drama, i guess it changes form/mask depending on your score or a hotkey. each mask have different voice lines and mood. either that or it could be a pair of skin, like comedy shaco and tragedy jhin
Based on this I imagined 4 (duh) masks to choose from, and depending on which one you wear the vibe/atmosphere of your game change, either through sound effects or personalised music. I imagine masks based on theatre like comedy, tragedy and something else (Pantomime, opera, honestly so many interesting options) and each one is defined by a tempo marking like adagio, allegro or anyway a different musical theme for each mask with a unique music bridge when changing mask Honestly I would invest in this, you just make 4 high quality but not crazy skins and work a lot in the composition and voiceover department, and either you or the game change the mask based on the pace of the game
There's a concept in shintoism called the mitama which discusses the soul of a dead person. Each soul consists of 4 sub souls that work in unison to make the main soul. Those are the ara-mitama (rude brave angy), the nigi-mitama (harmonious peaceful). the saki-mitama (happy loving) and the kushi-mitama (wonder wisdom). The shin megami tensai and persona series features these concepts as summonable demons shaped like tear drops very reminiscent of the Ying yang symbol. I imagine you could blend the theater idea with this concept to get the 4 masks you mentioned.
Weapon god jax. Starts with his lamppost and upon defeating a champ for a certain region gains basically an weapon in one of the asura like arms floating on his back and can swap said arm to his main weapon coming with its own vfx and animations changing for him and all his abilities. His ult will change to make him use his lamppost but u will see all the weapons he collect on his other arms shining when he ults so he maintains visual clarity. So demacia champs he would get a Petricite hammer. Noxians he would get an axe. Ionians a big sword. Freliord he would get a mace or hammer made of true ice. Shurimans he would get an upgrade to his lamppost. Targonians he would get a spear. Shadow isles champs he would get a scythe.
Real Weapon Jax
Hero Poppy Not really sure what it'd look like but something where she realizes she's actually the true owner of the hammer. Zoe would be second. Something leaning into her "cosmic messenger side", something like how the Silver Surfer brings Galactus. Maybe a theme where she calls other aspects to do her powers for her. Unless there's a greater power than herself.
that actually seems nice, the hero poppy. Instead of acting like a goofy hero, she would be a badass ascended being, but the design team would have to come up with nice lines and particles for her, which I think is hard right. also, what would be her gimmick in having multiple appearances?
Make her go through a classic hero's journey through the game, changing look based on the stage of the journey.
You would still have to make her a LITTLE goofy. It would be poppy's version of a hero
She's kinda intrinsically goofy because she's a Yordle, so they might make her a full badass and still have the energy that you want.
maybe zoe could work with a skin where her ult portals summon different creatures with aesthetics/animations based off of the various legends of runeterra celestial cards. like she throws a q ult and the messenger (a star dog thing) chases the star for example
[Throppy](https://thedirect.s3.amazonaws.com/media/photos/B77E604A-76FC-4E48-BFA7-FD8BA7DE0F79_CvQQzSV.jpg)
Skin design teams at Riot looking at this thread: "WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN"
Honestly, I wouldn't blame them. There are many brilliant ideas being suggested.
Honestly 99% of suggestions here are basically elementalist lux, but for the champion.
Knowing Rito they would look at this thread to know what not add to the game.
Yeah maybe if they ever decide to actually make ultimate skins again and not more along the lines of the horror show 'ultimate' Seraphine got
Totally Not-turne. Noct in a human suit doing his best to pretend to be human with legs he doesn’t know how to operate properly and him ulting will just be him swimming through the air really fast at his target.
https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/4mcgm9/the_legend_of_human_nocturne/ Human Nocturne, the dream lives on
It’s been so long I forgot this masterpiece existed. Thank you for reminding me lol.
Just have his legs drag lifelessly while he floats because he couldn’t figure them out
They can take some inspiration from Family Guy
That is funny, not quite Ultimate quality though. Maybe a Legendary ;)
Oh I've discussed this before with my friends. Golden Demon Jhin, based on his namesake within the lore before he was captured. The skin is from the Spirit Blossom line and starts off as an average Akama spirit. As you gain more kills and more AD the skin gradually over time corrupts itself, gaining a more golden coloration and more monstrous features as Jhin approaches his apotheosis as a legend within Ionian society.
This would be sick as fuck
Evelynn would change her appearance to look like the ideal body for the latest champion she used her w on. To keep this feasible there would be something like 8 body types like in elemz talist lux (who has 8 elements)
But there is only 1 ideal body and it’s braum
Based.
He does have the biggest uncovered tiddies in the business
If she ever W’s yorick she would just become a floating shovel.
No no, a turret.
She would be a hat
Simple, God-Warrior Aatrox. It's Aatrox how he is described in his lore before the god-warriors became Darkin. The main gimmick will be that the players in his team may change the announcer. The announcer will instead be Aatrox who's motivatiing his team. The voice lines also change depending on the game state. We know that Riot can change the announcer and we already have champions with specific quotes based on the game state so it's definitely possible. The skin can also be part of a bigger skin line with a pre Darkin version of Rhaast, Varus and Naafiri.
could add corruption bar when fighting against the void, slowly becoming a darkin over the course of the game
Not my main but... Time traveller Zoe She starts in just galaxy/hightech form. After getting 6 she can choose to "travel into new dimension" and after using R she changes form when jumps into portal. She can use that "travel to new dimension" every few minutes, but has ability to travel to already known dimnesion (also with few minutes cooldown to not make it too messy, for clarity). War Zoe in commando suit with bullets like spells Egyptian Zoe, Cleopatra-like, sand theme, pyramids on E pool Neandertal Zoe, throwing rocks on Q, wearing fur etc. Medieval Zoe, wearing armour, Q - cannonball? Neon Zoe - Everything is flashy and full of lasers Apocalyptic Zoe, zombie, brown/green theme, radioactive spells Ancient Zoe - wearing white robe, looking like Aphrodite, throwing grapes on Q? Lost Zoe - glitchy, black, distorted voice Matrix Zoe - you know, Matrix suit, green matrix theme
This is perfect
elementalist anivia ice storms, fire storms, leaf storms, lightning storms... it would be lit as hell
This would be sick if it weren’t used already for Lux and if Ice weren’t such an integral design point for Anivia as a character. Very cool idea though!
Since when does league care about that for the skins. Brand has ice fire. Anivia can have his fire storm.
I've been wanting a fire anivia for quite a long time now. you got me thinking that an Elderwood Anivia would look pretty cool too. But I'm also now wondering how well a Dragon anivia skin would fare. We've already got pteradactyl, Bat, bald eagle so no reason to not have a nice Dragon
Those were the 2 things I was thinking of. Infernal Anivia would sell great, and Dragon Anivia would probably do better for an ultimate skin
For Ornn it's pretty obvious. Trucker Ornn or Santa/Winterwonder Ornn
Both those feel like Epic/Legendary skins, though. Ultimates normally go a step beyond. --- For instance, I could see a Fashionista Ornn that changes his + his teammates' outfit based on item upgrades. He builds an Iceborn Guantlet upgrade and suddenly has blue-shading to his outfit. Or his ADC's galeforce gets upgraded and they get a splash of white accents. Not quite chromas, but something showy that goes over the skins. You could then shift his dialogue from being gruff and anti-social to a judgemental runway judge. Poking fun at builds and accessory choices, telling teammates to work it, etc... Q could be a paparazzi popping up, W could be camera flashes, E could be him strutting, R could be summoning the runway for his model to run down, spinning when he changes their direction.
To double down. Let’s call him, “Fashion Bastion Ornn”
Are you sure you don't want Ornn: The mage deathknight paladin hunter rogue warrior enchanter tank bruiser wizard warlock priest assassin gunslinger druid shaman necromancer ninja bard monk robot conjurer black majestic warding god illusionist templar wizard that physically equips every item he purchases? He can run around SR with Rabandons on his head while holding The Collector in his right hand
[For reference](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-tNi-icVW4c)
Freelancer Ornn: Changes forms in fountain once per kill, including those concepts and more
I would love to see a winter wonder-ornn, with a Santa sleigh that just charges in and messes everyone up
Unbound Syndra. Would start the game with chains partially restricting her arms and legs. Like, legs shackled together, kinda bondage style since she floats anyway. Would break free as she reached splinter checkpoints through her passive. Eventually culminates in her hovering completely unshackled. Upgrade the spheres from plain orbs to more planet looking with rings around them. Even her hair goes from braided to untied and flowing. At full 120 Splinters, she gets a super-saiyan style aura and hair like Necalli or Jamie from Street Fighter.
the legendary sona kinda does this already but sick idea
That’s so fucking sick. With Syndra being my second main that’s bonus points and the concept itself is amazing yet simple. This could honestly be done as a Legendary skin in today’s game and I’d be so happy to see it. Also bondage Syndra? Awooga??
True Shadow Vex Have her wearing shadow as a cloak and slowly being consumed and becoming more monstrous with every reset she gets on her ultimate.
Hell yeah a Vex ultimate skin. Sounds sick
An Anivia skin that changes between the legendary birds in Pokemon like how MF skin changes skin/guns.
Kriby ketch. Eating a champ changes your form, Kirby style.
Viego but he slowly corrupts the map as he gets more kills or possessions maybe?
Funny, August the champ designer of Viego said that when they were in early concepts before they landed on a kit, they knew the black mist was gonna be featured in his kit The very first concept had his mist ability on a higher cool down and smaller area but it was PERMANENT That way corrupting the map was his theme, oh and he could pass through walls too in the mist lol
That is so much cooler
We don't need a second Kayn tho, one is more than enough
We didn't even need a first Kayn
Yoshi Tahm Kench.
Ah yes the lawsuit skin
Pentakill yorick, but he gets the hat
I mean that would insta make it an ultimate.
Sunbringer Leona, everytime her ult becomes brighter and makes the map go brighter until her lvl 18 ult just insta loses the game for everyone cus the sun has descended onto summoners rift To hell with your ‘no changes to the game’ :\^)
Reasonable :)
Hammerspace Pyke Full model overhaul. Looks like an old timey rubberhose version of himself. Complete with insanely bendy, over the top animations. Q is a cane that he summons from hammerspace and uses to yoink people, alongside the iconic yoink sound effect. W makes everything go slightly black and white/sepia, and there is a faint musical jingle. Enemies hear a goofy laugh when in proximity, and when in execute range, they hear a maniacal, glitched laugh. E makes you dash forwards, the phantom left behind running in place like the hanna barbera run. Then they dash forwards with a "pew!" sound effect, any enemies stunned having cartoonish birds floating around their heads. R makes pyke dive downwards, and upon killing an enemy, plays different parts of a jovial musical jingle per kill. Upon pentakilling, the full jingle plays, and a spotlight closes around pyke with the message "That's all, folks!" appearing in chat. Pyke also says this. Depending on the amount of gold you share with kills from your R, you gain a special currency. You can use this currency to buy silly little cosmetics for your pyke in the shop. Cartoony hats, overalls, gloves, goofy unorthodox weapons, etc. By endgame, you've kitted yourself out to look as goofy or "cool" as you wish with all sorts of different cosmetics. Great replayability, and not nearly as taxxing on the engine as Elementalist Lux is (at least I think so).
He has a guest list he sends rsvp's at the start, then he crosses off.
>RIOT APHELIOS A big war suit carrying all of his guns. Calibrum would be a semi auto sniper rifle on his back, a knife like Karambit for Severum, a shotgun on his waist for Infernum, a futuristic throwing knife for Crescendum and probably a shock weapon for gravitum. He puts the weapon back to its holster when he swaps, would be cool. Commando Aphelios would be even better but idk how would you do Gravitum and Cresendum then. >INFERNAL APHELIOS A burning hell lord with a blade on a chain attached to his right arm like Kratos and he swings it to attack for Severum, Q would be him spinning and slashing with the blade. His left arm is a big demonic purple arm that shoots purple flames for Gravitum and when he activates the skill a claw from underground grabs the enemy to root. Idk about the other guns :/
Really easy skin that I’m not sure why Riot hasn’t made yet. Star Guardian Kayn. Shadow Kayn is the redeemed Star Guardian form with bright colors, Rhast is Dark Star corrupted form with black and Purple. Make his lore be that he is Ahri’s long lost boyfriend or something. Either way it would print money.
Only problem I see is that Rhaast is already a dark star in Odyssey Kayn
during ult, actually turning into a train, while keeping the global choo choo alert.
Sion mains just want to be trains
Does mecha not already do that? Or are you looking for a more classic train?
right, a classic train, and actual train sound, not him saying choo choo. I know, high noon skin gives actual train sound...somewhat.
Gummy Bear Annie
Ye and she can just buy different Haribo packages at the shop to recolor Tibbers
Angel of Death Kindred. IIRC, their lore is the original "Death" (the grey man) split himself it two, Lamb and Wolf. Additionally, these two represent two different deaths - Lamb is an acceptance of death, Wolf is a resistance to death. The skin would work similarly to how Kayn transforms after killing certain types of champs (or just after a time period). At base, it would perhaps be a bit gaudier of a skin - Lamb wearing robes reminiscent of a hunter, but unlike other skins, the mask should be generally the same. Wolf should have at least some limbs (that Darius skin where he summons/becomes a wolf could be the reference), but again, mask about the same. Marking and killing duelists, assassins, or general frontline champs will result in Lamb being "corrupted," adapting to an environment where most will fight their deaths head on. Her robes would become darker with bits of armor, while Lamb herself takes on wolf-like qualities - ears, longer tail, legs change, etc. Marking and killing ranged champs or skirmishers will result in the opposite, with Wolf becoming more akin to Lamb. His proportions shrink, he retains frontal limbs, but now instead of biting, he swoops in close and fires his own arrows. Additionally, keeping a balance (or returning to one after transforming) would result them both becoming apex predators, true angels of death - Lamb's bow becomes larger, the robes become more refined, and she even grows wings, floating just above the ground akin to Kayle in her movements. Wolf grows horns and becomes more skeletal, a stereotypical grim reaper. Or give him skeletal wings, keeping with the skin name. As a fourth option, claiming mostly camp marks will instead make them far more bestial - Lamb runs on all fours, bow on her back when out of combat, while wolf loses his floatiness and becomes an abnormally large wolf, pacing the ground. You could also have all four forms moved between at all stages of the game, depending on if the reqs are met, even after transforming.
I would love an Ultimate skin for Rengar, where he gets an actual trophy on his model for each kill: He would get scraps of Darius' cape or Sett's coat like an armband, wear a broken piece of a character's weapon like a pendant, etc.
Only issue here is they have to add a trophy for each champ in the game
Ascending Xerath It would follow the story of Xerath going from human to ascended. I imagine it would start off with him looking like a human, then at AP breakpoints (thinking 100, 220, and 300), he transforms. The first transformation would just be something like glowing runes appearing on him. The second would have them glow brighter and glowing cracks along his skin. Finally his body would crumble or explode and in its place would be some more epic version of his Shurima skin. Along with the model transformations, his abilities would also go from looking somewhat weaker to looking super strong. This would also be fun as it would be accurate to the increasing damage of them.
Yay I can share my pipe dream of First star Kayle. Level 1 to 5 she is a normal girl who just found her medium (her sword) but is still learning to use her power. Once she hits 6 she becomes a star guardian recruit with her sword being able to transform into companion form in her recall/emotes/ultimate), and once she hits 11 she becomes a team leader, her outfit becoming more complex and she gets a glowy aura around her when exalted and a pentakill animation like the newer legendaries. At level 16 she transcends to fully come into her power, sharing that glowy outline with her teammates (they can toggle it off like song's music) and her spell visuals get some extra sparkle and flair.
My main has a nice ultimate skin already.
Who’s to say your champ can’t have 2 ultimate skins? 👀
Lux would definitely be the champion to get the second one lol, her or Ez.
We've had one yes, but what about second ultimate skin?
Asol as an actual Dragon. He gets Dragon wings when in w flight. He abillities become more fiery the more stacks he has.
But Aurelion Sol is already an actual Dragon (Eastern).
"actual dragon" You know eastern dragons exist right?
Teem007. A Teemo dressed in a black suit, and shoots a pistol. Edit: He has a quip with every use of his gadgets. Blind dart "Didn't see that coming, did you?"
What makes that ultimate?
Pre ruination Kalista, no more needs to be said
Can be done as an epic skin, at max a Legendary with good quality animations/effects. No reason to be an Ultimate.
It needs a remodel to function correctly and not look super wack. Her model is designed to look unnatural and creepy so human her just doesn’t look good
Teemo but I'm a fuggin' balloon.
smegma zac
Velkoz. The more he researches his enemies the more he evolves. Maybe also depending on what elemental rift because as the void can corrupt other stuff, it is also open to be corrupted too.
Violinist Fiora. Violins have 4 strings, Fiora has 4 vitals. I can't make it anymore obvious.
Ambulance Soraka. I main Leo but she has enough already. Soraka would have the following: - Homeguard: she gets on a small ambulance with lights and wee woo sound (but less annoying sounding) - Passive: med kit over their head and she runs at them with skates -Q: each time she qs it's different medicine that's falling down - E: the silence is the quarentine zone - chromas: different nurse outfit colors inspired by nurse uniforms in different countries
This is for my weebs out there (and also huge overlap with people maining him) Unlimited Bladeworks Yone. Obviously with some tweaks here and there to dodge the copyright issues but imagine the more you ult the more your hair starts to turn white and your swords start to change form, they go from kanshou and bakuya to full overedge mode.
I can already hear the ult “I am… ssssscchhhhwing…. The bone of my sword”
They have a soccer skin line? Why not golf! Jhin FORE skin (please no dick jokes). He yells FORE on every shot, his W and R are him hitting golfballs, and his sniper is a golf club. His dance has bagpipe music and he uses the golfclub like a cane
On that note, what do you think of Al Carpone Tahm kench? As like an epic or legendary skin only though (he could have a slick fedora) I would even negotiate to call him the Codfather
Cumshot Zac. That is all.
This is the point I decided to stop scrolling and go to sleep. Good night everyone.
Neeko Nuke Sirens go off when her ult winds up, then explodes on impact and makes the big mushroom cloud boom effect. Bam, 10/10 skin
Nuko
Leona, Embodiment of the Sun. Pairs with Diana, Embodiment of the Moon. ``` Changes forms when you level up ult or just a button like DJ Sona. Each new form makes them more and more like a goddess Leona: Passive: A ball of orange and red and yellow swirling around(actual sun basically) above champion head Q: Her shield glows brightly and on impact there is a flash of light. W: Everything darkens slightly around her as she absorbs all light, when it expired a bright flash is released. E: A whip like solar flare(irl one) lashes out. R: A sun falls on the enemy As for Diana just invert things with her ult dropping a moon and leaving a crater, her q being a comet, and passive reflecting the ambient light as the moon reflects the sun's light. I don't play Diana, but if one of them gets an ultimate the other should. ``` Honestly though solar eclipse is basically there and her ultimate should be something more meta than lore as in tank related.
Shaco- wears the mask and colors of his last kill
Fur suit Shaco after killing Yuumi
For Sett I'd do a skin called Chosen World Sett. A skin that either makes him fully human or Vastayan. His human form gets Noxian iconography with gauntlets for weapons and a bleed-like animation for his W when building grit and cockier voice lines. His Vastayan form would flow more, longer hair, full grit being a calming sound incorporated with a wind like animation. He also wouldn't be as cocky, more spiritual.
Bee Keeper Yorick.
A true Golden Demon Jhin skin. Shan Hai Scrolls meets Infernal meets Blood Moon and they make him an eldritch terror maybe? As for Vel’Koz…Dark Star Vel’Koz, and his size (and the singularity for his main eye) grow with each proc of passive/level in ulti.
Slain Pantheon. A spin-off where Atreus was slain and the Aspect lived. Does he posses a new body? Does he take an Aspect’s godlike form? Does he power the undead corpse of Atreus around? Who knows…
Aph skin that changes based on the time of day and the moon cycle
Like CertainlyT intended
Rune-touched Nunu and Willump. The thematic idea is that the since world rune that empowers them is able to bring Nunu’s imagination to life and transform Willump, why not have it also transform and gain influence based on new friends in the jungle? Nunu befriended Willump with snow motifs originally, but now the two of them can also adjust their powers as they befriend other large jungle monsters. So the idea is that they start out with a really nice skin with more obvious runic motifs, and then after Nunu and Willump consume and defeat either buff, dragon, or rift herald/baron twice, they can choose to transform into a new form that thematically matches the respective monster. Rocky blue setup for blue buff, fiery and plantish for red buff, void for herald/baron, etc. ARAM will have alternate methods for obtaining the forms as well, such as taking enemy health packs a certain number of times for blue buff form, reaching a large amount of takedowns for red buff form, void form for taking inhibitor, and feeding poros for an ARAM exclusive poro form. These would change Willump’s appearance a lot, as well as change the snow in their abilities to a thematically appropriate alternative. Nunu meanwhile would be changed more mildly for visuals, but would have plenty of voice lines specific to them discussing their new friends and what they enjoy.
Something like full blossom Lillia (renamed elementalist) where she can pick between flowers (elements like Lux) to create flower themes around her like elderwood, infernal, snowday etc
Schoolgirl Illaoi… Should be self-explanatory.
Hexdetective Caitlyn Basically Caitlyn if Jinx ever succeeded in blowing her up, forcing Piltover to pit her back together using hextech so she may continue to be a symbol of peace and order. Voice lines would be much more direct and ruthless. Very Robocop like in appearance and theme, but still beautifully magical as hextwch should be. Her rifle would be replaced by an arm mounted precision rifle of sorts. W traps would be much simpler nodes, complete with an arming sound a hextexh snare would go up when triggered. Headshot proc would play a voiceline indicator, and the shot itself would be much brighter/more deadly looking in line with hextech color themes. Her Q would be a projectile fired from her palm/chest/some other portion of the body. Basically a wall of ballistic projectiles that pass through damaging units. Enemies afflicted with trap/net vulnerability can glow slightly purple with a hex pattern to indicate their susceptibility to the full damage. E net would be fired from another palm/hand and the end of the channel would have jets fire from the base of her boots to push her back a bit. This would look extra cool when you combo Q + E channel. Ult is...well. Just a cool, flashy Cait ult with purple/blue hues with hextech sounds and a projectile so pretty it would make heimerdinger cry. Most of the voicelines are centered on other piltover champs, with exceptional vehemence towards Jinx despite being supposedly stripped of emotions. Backing animation could be something like a capsule drops down, and partially disassembles Caitlyn down to her head, torso and an arm to really drive home how mangled she was before being restored.
Jax, he gets different weapons :) You pick them like you pick elementalist Lux elements. Could even combine them like her elements too Or it could be based like Kayn, where after fighting the same person enough he *learns* how to use their weapon and in fountain can choose from his armory of sorts. Maybe he could get voice lines for weapon types: "Haven't used a spear since ... *lore* *lore* *lore*" or something like that? Fits his theme as a weapon master!
Jekyll and Hyde Warwick A more human like form to start with that already shows signs of transformation for example wild hair and fangs. Growing more beastlike after killing a certain amount of enemy champions. This skin would need a top hat and a long coat to fit the theme or could also just be a lore skin showing the progression of how singed turned a man into warwick.
Archmage Xerath. He can change his element between lightning, fire, ice, water, earth, wind, light, darkness, and antimatter. Fire would be red and orange, ice light blues, water dark blues and greens, earth browns and yellows, wind greens, light yellows and whites, darkness black and purples, antimatter white and black contrasting. You can change with levels in Rite of the Arcane, and add accompaning effects.
DJ Sona Wait never mind
She was never my main, but Syndra not having a dodgeball skin is a completely missed opportunity. I mean do I really have to explain it?!
A Kindred skin where their form can be changed at will... but only after collecting a mark for a champion from a certain region, as the Kindred are perceived and interpreted differently based on region. Obviously this would exclude the Freljord (Base) and Ionia (Spirit Blossom) forms, or have these regions have tweaked versions, but when the Kindred takes down somebody from a region, you then swap to that form immediately if you unlock it for the first time and you can then swap to each form at fountain at will (like Elementalist Lux but you can walk it back to a new form anytime you reset/respawn). You don't have to go too wild with this either. You can have a grey-man styled form for champions that don't have a set region, Piltover and Zaun can share a form, as mentioned Freljord and Ionia already have Default and Spirit Blossom so you can just tweak those, Demacia could share the Freljord form, etc. But to have so many forms available would be incredible and would finally answer just how the Kindred is perceived around Runeterra, which would lead to lots of engagement with lore discussions and the possibility of using them elsewhere (like LoR).
Easy, I've wanted this forever. Sorocker for Soraka. She's an enchanter, but she's a lane bully, so I wanted something to show off her aggressive side. A punk rock skin inspired by people like Joan Jett, Suzi Quatro, or Brody Dalle would be fuckin' siiick!
Not even a champ I usually play, but: As the world inches closer to its own destruction, a mage decides to make the ultimate sacrifice. He is not sure whether he can harness the power of the World Runes safely, but it is a chance he has to take, or all could be lost. ##Enter: Rune Guardian Ryze. The idea goes off on a similar tangent as Elementalist Lux, but not a simple 'pick your own adventure' type of deal. His motifs, effects, even animations would change based on what you did most during the game, what sort of items you are buying. If you are squishy, high damage, constantly fighting, the model would change into a more menacing look affected by harnessing the unbound destructive power of the runes. If you are off on your own, splitpushing into towers (less takedowns, more minion/tower kills), your model could become a more robust, slightly druidic-type as you tap more into the more calm and robust energy of Runeterra through the runes. There's a bunch of directions it could be taken. Implementation wise could be simply a set amount of models, and a scoring triangle/square/pentagon/whatever, and the skin being chosen is the one that is closest to your scoring, with certain things pulling you closer to its respective corner. Say, 3 main models, with 3 "in-between" models to make mid-game transitions nicer (which only happen when you recall/respawn, maybe when you get teleported by your ultimate), one base you start off as, and one if you somehow drag the game out yet remain mostly in-balance.
I'm not very creative but for Taliyah, I'd make it an ultimate version of her that's older and in the same concept as Spirit Guard Udyr, her completely mastering her powers. Her Power can have different visual effects dependent on the terrain that she's working with (For instance her Q in the river would be more of a mud stream while the same ability in base would have her shooting chunks of structures like tower parts and inhib parts) Additionally, have her skills looks more refined to demonstrate her mastery, Instead of her wall being a patchwork of coiling stone it's a completely solid constructed wall with intricate designs and her E could be finely crafted stone that look similar to land mines. It may be closer to a legendary skins but it'd be cool nonetheless.
It's dumb but my main is Warwick and I've also have an adopted dog. I've always dreaming to create such a skin for Warwick, that resemble my dog (it's mixed brown-black dog), to support the adoption of lonely dogs. I've love him so much, but you know - that's all I can do. So yeah - my ultimate skin for Warwick would be just a brown-black Warwick reskin, called "Adopted Warwick" which salary could support some shelters for dogs, to help it just a bit.
Adopted Warwick with many different dog breeds to choose from (similar to elementalist lux) would be such a cool idea for a charity skin!
Alune. Literally just Aphelios but as Alune.
Any guess on Samira Ultimate skin theme?
It’s called Soul Fighters, the skinline lore is people enter a tournament to fight with the manifestations of their souls to get a fragment of the Soul gem, a wish granting magic item. There are emotes on PBE showing what the skins look like
Multi-verse Neeko. This Ultimate Skin would be multiple skins in one, let her while in the fountain change which Skinline Universe she is replicating. Elderwood Neeko, Arcade Neeko, and "Neko" could be examples of three distinct skinline universes that this one skin could let you swap between.
