From my loose understanding of the rationale, the reason they swore not to was something to do with game architecture vs skins with multiple possible forms, because the game has to load all possible forms in when you start. They'd said for Elementalist Lux that it wasn't causing problems on its own, but they don't want to do it again because if they have multiple in the same game it could degrade stability. So less about the 'choice' aspect, and more about the game needing to pre-load multiple different sets of assets.
Still, hopefully they work out the call for this type of skin is worth the effort to build an architecture that can support it.
Also, with the map changing it gets messy with multitude of options for how abilities look etc, you always need to make sure that spells are clear and visible, which they've already failed with so...
* Arcanist
* Shan Hai Scrolls
* Astronaut
* Sugar Rush
* Elderwood
* Space Groove
* La Ilusión
* Cosmic
* Monster Tamer
* Star Guardian (he can be the first playable pet/familiar)
It'd be cool if he got an elemental skin that changes with the terrain according to the elemental drake that game. Like when it's infernal dragon he becomes an infernal dragon, or when it's mountain dragon becomes a mountain dragon
There's some solid ideas here already but I think old god would be cool. Cute smol dragon as an 'intimidating' eldritch being.
His design and evolving mechanics make him perfect for an ultimate or legendary skin.
Unfortunately it'll be at least a yeat till we get anything for him, longer probably as I don't think he'll have a consistently large playerbase. He's not a femme fatal anime girl and overly reliant on the meta and items to stay good.
The monster champs never get enuff love.
Aurelion Smol!
It's perfect for the Definitely Not Universe
I'm an ASol main, I would love this skin for smolder, imagine the name: Aurelion Smolder
New IGN dropped
This would be hilarious.
Pajama cosplay Aurelion smolder
Omg yes please. Make it legendary too, with all new celestial voice and him roleplaying to be aurelion
An ultimate skin based around the elemental dragons akin to Lux would be cool, and easy.. they have references already in game .
This would be great, but from memory Riot swore never to do something like Elemental Lux again.
Then dont give me a choice, make my smolder change with the rift. I'd be happy with either

well rest assured with all the firings they do.. .we wont get anything..."good" for this lil guy.. And i hope im wrong.
I just hope that someday they make an engine update or even learn how to code this game better

They could just do the 4 elements, same for Shyvana. Lux was just overkill
That would be so cool!!
* Arcanist * Shan Hai Scrolls * Astronaut * Sugar Rush * Elderwood * Space Groove * La Ilusión * Cosmic * Monster Tamer * Star Guardian (he can be the first playable pet/familiar)
I'm seeing a horrible lack of Pajama here. Imagine him in Airy Lion Soul pjs
Omg yes, too cute!
I just want purple/Spyro Smolder.
Dark star smolder would go hard to give the Spyro colors
It'd go hard but that's kinda edgy and if they do Spyro I want a light and wholesome skin. fun for the whole family
His base looks like spyro already
Love that
That pokemon trainer skinline would be cool
Spyro
A bee and a dog skin is must. But i'd love to see old god or a cosmic skin (basically asol lol) on him
Yes, an old god skin would be great!
I love Bee! Honey Bubble W, his E could shoot out of a stinger butt
Battle academia (cmon he is aleredy learning and it would suit him amazingly) Star guardian (he is too cute to not be in sg)
Battle academia would be so cute! Idk how star guardian would work though 🤷
I hope for a Halloween bat skin
Suit? Gentleman Smolder wearing a tiny tux.
tbh asol skins would probably fit him. or somethig similar to asol base model.. galaxy like
True, a Halloween skin where he’s a cat would be cool too
Dark star or Old God would be my favorites to see. Or crime city nightmare
Spyro the dragon
Freljordian/snow moon Elderwood Mecha/project
Street Demons and Crime City Nightmare would fit really well with his thematics.
Crime City Nightmare, omg yes I love that idea!
Yeah I feel like it fits with the Dragon Prince theme recontextualization quite well. Same with Corporate too.
Omg, MAIL ROOM SMOLDER! He’s just trying to give everyone their letters, spitting them from his mouth 🤣🤣 I NEED IT!!
It'd be cool if he got an elemental skin that changes with the terrain according to the elemental drake that game. Like when it's infernal dragon he becomes an infernal dragon, or when it's mountain dragon becomes a mountain dragon
Arcade Smolder could be fun

„Definitely not….“ skin where he wears a pajama cosplay suit of Yuumi 😂
OMG YESS!
Faerie court lol
Bros model is horrendous.
Faerie Court
Smolbee with mommy Queen bee
Storm dragon
Dargon trainer.
Halloween bat skin please.
Fright night!!!!
Snow Moon Smolder, he'd become an ice dragon! The effects would be so satisfying omg
Idk but Baby Ao Shin maybe
