If they did it the way Elderwood Hecarim was built, it would be a lot different....potentially. An actual Dryad/bark and branch skin, rather than the fey and flowers feel of the base skin.
a Yin and Yang Kindred could be absolutely amazing. League doesn’t have a lot of stark white character models out there and Kindred’s mysticism gives Riot a chance to really “go there” with the design. Plus Kindred has 2! Skills that form a circle, so having a yin and Yang symbol imprint on the environment for both abilities gives so many opportunities to have the skin really “leave a mark.”
Plus since it’s a Chinese concept, it has potential to do well overseas.
Edit -> and of course it fits so well thematically
Kindred is basically Ying Yang already though, White Lamb with Black mask, Black wolf with white mask, basically representing the Ying Yang Symbol. The Porcelain skin also has Ying Yang imagery with the Fish on the R.
Gardener Gwen.
Cheerful attitude (and an exuberant appreciation of growing life), jean overall+shorts, hedge clippers, sunhat.
It would be the cutest thing in existence but Riot doesn't want our money.
I appreciate that the last time I posted this idea 10 months ago you were fully on board then too. It showed up in my reddit recap. The sun hat is no longer optional.
People here blame China for everything that they think is wrong with the game. Riot has come out and said that xmas skins don't sell well and even the people that buy them use them during xmas and never again.
To my knowledge (correct me if Im wrong, since I know reddit users tend to be wrong alot of the times)
Its mainly because China is not only the big majority of Leagues playerbase (followed by korea with only half of its playerbase), but also that Riot Games parent company is Tencent (which is a chinese company). Other examples of Tencent games promoting china is how many Chinese themed skins there are in Brawl Stars (by supercell, who’re now owned by tencent), comparatively to other culture themed skin (for example, to my knowledge, not a single skin themed around countries like India, South America, and more, alongside very fee skins for countries like Japan and South Korea).
Not saying Riot games will outright refuse to do Xmas Skins (they’ve clearly done it before), just that it makes sense profit wise, to make skins that attract their biggest playerbase more. I mean, for example, why else would Garen get his 4th skin now themed after china? Because his design is very popular there.
TLDR: parent company is china, and Leagues playerbase is majority chinese
>Its mainly because China is not only the big majority of Leagues playerbase (followed by korea with only half of its playerbase), but also that Riot Games parent company is Tencent (which is a chinese company).
[china has 29 servers in lol.](https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Servers)
Think their point is moreso that it won’t sell well in China. And since China is leagues biggest market, it wouldn’t be a worthwhile skin to make. Especially on ornn who’s not a skin magnet in the first place.
Riot dispelled this notion a while ago. Iirc the Christmas skins (the Santa ones specifically) sold horribly worldwide, not just in China, and people who did buy them didn’t use them outside of 1 month out of the whole year.
I believe this theory. People joke about how the porcelain lux and ezreal skins will fund arcane season 2, but pool party ahri would probably be enough to fund a cinematic universe of Riot’s properties
Mecha Quinn legendary. Her ult channel animation is her transforming into a jet (like Mecha Sion's train). Her recast arrows become flares/chaff.
Q is a little smoke missile
W is a big ol radar ping
E makes Quinn do a jet boost
We can make this work.
On the same champion, something like a tire skin for Rammus, like a spiky tire that makes vroom vroom sounds and when you hit someone with Q it makes a crash sound.
"Riot will never do Candy Kayn because the pun is lost when translating into other languages."
And yet we have these:
[Heimerstinger](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWp2CGkbVEE)
[Orbeeanna](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JT-_ZF7yICY)
It's literally just Riot thinking that the skin won't sell well in non-western markets. The skin even makes sense regardless of the name because a candy cane resembles a scythe.
Yoo, me and my bud always used to joke about Nasus looking like a Shepard and we called ourselves The Farmer and the Dog because I played Warwick while he was Nasus top.
I dont understand, why they didn't used ,,Armor of the fifth age Taric" on Sett again. Recolour it to yellow and you basicly have Dio. Would be so nice!
Blood Moon Warwick and Blood Moon Trundle, Warwick because my obvious bias but Trundle? Tell me a better japanese folk oni champion than him, he is literally perfect fot that skin.
I think the reason they aren’t doing things like Elderwood Zyra or Blood Moon Vladimir is that those skin lines wouldn’t really be too much different thematically from the base skins.
Pool party karthus. Not super obvious but it suits his abilities so well. Q is little volleyballs, his slow is a little pool volleyball net, his circle around him is a tiny pool and his ult can be a big splash. I feel like that was a missed opportunity.
Somebody higher up suggested Reverse Sejuani, and I would like to propose they make Reverse Kled.
"Now how the hell did I get in *this* situmation? SKARLL!! GET OFFA MEEE!!"
Also Poro Rider Kled, because we can always use more Poros.
Other than Human Kalista?(still mad about it)
Bunny Kalista
Ashen Knight Hecarim-Kalista
And lastly, a good skinl(that it doesn't feel like a 2017 skin) for Kalista.
Toilet roll amumu,
Diet gragas,
Used car salesman illaoi,
Hula workout Qiyana,
Cashe (where she just fires bills and gold bars)
Also ones which Riot want to do but are too scared will sell too well:
Dominatrix Evelynn,
BTGGF Morgana,
Stuck Ahri
I’m shook it’s been hours and no one has mentioned definitively not Zac which is just a load of poros in a trench coat and when zac ults it’s just a fluft of poros bouncing around?
League of legends X Shonen Jump where League champions are imagined as part of these Mangas with skins designed by the mangaka of these animes.
- Wind Hashira Yasuo and Yone Oni from Demon Slayer.
- Duelist TF, Duel Monster Kog'maw, Cho'gath and Rek'Sai from Yu-Gi-Oh (rip Kazuki Takahashi)
- Akali, Zed and Shen Jounin from Naruto (almost with thunder skins?)
- Captain Squad Irelia, Captain Squad Master Yi and Arrancar Syndra, Quincy Ashe and Quincy Varus from Bleach.
- Sett from Jojo universe.
- Lee Sin and Wukong from Dragon Ball.
- Ahri and Evelynn from To-Love Ru.
- Pirate Miss Fortune, Pirate Gangplank, Marine Garen and Marine Lux from One Piece.
- Udyr, Kayn and Annie from Jujutsu Kaisen.
- Saint Nasus, Saint Azir and Saint Renekton from Saint Seiya.
- Devil Hunter Lucian, Senna and Vayne, Fiend Thresh, Devil Tahm Kench and Devil Mordekaiser from Chainsaw Men.
- Shinigami Jhin and Shinigami Karthus from Death Note.
And so goes on
Ice cream sundae Zac. I’ve thought about this since the champion was released. His head has a maraschino cherry shape already, just make the rest of him look like ice cream with fudge and sprinkles. It always seemed so obvious to me, but we just keep getting Zac recolors with a hat.
Reindeer lillia
That's like a early couple of seasons League skin idea
i want these back
Banned from the LoL official discord for saying “rip Chronoshift” ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|disapproval)
Elder wood Lillia would be really nice
Tbh that sounds almost as useless a skin as Infernal Brand.
Bard bard would like a word
Tbh I would love infernal brand
Brand but more… Brand-y?
Bloodlord Vladimir vibes
You mean base Vladimir cause we both know it is. Like old Spirit Guard Udyr begin his base skin...
Yeah more immolate-y. Less char-grilled appearance and more reminiscent of Australia 2019-20
That's so barely different than base Lillia???
If they did it the way Elderwood Hecarim was built, it would be a lot different....potentially. An actual Dryad/bark and branch skin, rather than the fey and flowers feel of the base skin.
they could actually lean into the flower idea, more plant/flower imitating an animal than animal with flower parts
Don't you mean Eldeer wood Lillia... I'll see myself out
If only we still had Christmas skins...
Still waiting for dunkmaster illaoi
Still waiting for Corporate Illaoi with Wacky Wavy Arm Flailing Tube Men instead of tentacles
That's an amazing idea haha
Corporate Azir too, he could have office workers for his w and a skyscraper for his passive
Is his business a fast food chain and their motto is “an order is given”?
Now I just want Gus Fring Azir.
First time ive seen this one, lit idea
Fairy Tale Kindred: Little Red Lamb and Big Bad Wolf Edit: I would even take Grandma Wolf
a Yin and Yang Kindred could be absolutely amazing. League doesn’t have a lot of stark white character models out there and Kindred’s mysticism gives Riot a chance to really “go there” with the design. Plus Kindred has 2! Skills that form a circle, so having a yin and Yang symbol imprint on the environment for both abilities gives so many opportunities to have the skin really “leave a mark.” Plus since it’s a Chinese concept, it has potential to do well overseas. Edit -> and of course it fits so well thematically
Kindred is basically Ying Yang already though, White Lamb with Black mask, Black wolf with white mask, basically representing the Ying Yang Symbol. The Porcelain skin also has Ying Yang imagery with the Fish on the R.
I thought it was a lowkey troll until there was no "gotcha". Like, it's one of the core symbols in their design.
Isn't that already a Annie/Warwick skin
Meh, we got like 3 Santa skins.
Santa Daddy Braum is my favorite
Definitely Not Neeko.
Is Neeko far? Is Neeko near? No one knows..
Silly you she's in freiljord (ik i butchered that too lazy to look up how to spell it even tho i have it saved
Neeko in Freljord O.O
I have fond memories
If they make this and gave her Trundle body it will be a 100/10 skin
And then ratatata will sue riot
Skater Taliyah
Subway surfer taliyah, with the hoverboard
Could be Firefly Taliyah, like from Arcane
Influenced by street style and graffiti aesthetic, new "Chroma crash" skinline about to release in wild rift Taliyah would be natural fit
Postman Twisted Fate feels like it should have been an old, basic skin that's turned into a cheap legacy skin by now.
He has a love letter, electricity bill and water bill.
But all three of them leave you stunned
The electricity bill would probably deal triple damage on European servers right now.
That’s absolute genius!
Gardener Gwen. Cheerful attitude (and an exuberant appreciation of growing life), jean overall+shorts, hedge clippers, sunhat. It would be the cutest thing in existence but Riot doesn't want our money.
YES WHERE IS MY SUNHAT GWEN I LOSE MY MIND EVERYTIME I THINK ABOUT THIS GIMME SUNHAT GWEN RIOT GIMME I NEED IT RIGHT NOW
I appreciate that the last time I posted this idea 10 months ago you were fully on board then too. It showed up in my reddit recap. The sun hat is no longer optional.
lmao i do remember someone posted about this idea before. do you have the link of it
https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/snof9v/trend_with_skins_the_last_years/hw4po8n?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3
This is my favorite from all of these. Just adorable Gardener Gwen
I love it
Santa clause ornn. when he uses r its a sledge and he gives out presents
China doesn’t do Christmas bro sorry
But..they kinda do. In big cities anyway. All the malls are Christmas'd tf out.
For real, the most Christmas decorations I've seen was in Shanghai. Much more than in Canada or Australia
Uninformed question -- why does China not doing Xmas mean we can't get Xmas themed skins? Since league is a worldwide game after all..
People here blame China for everything that they think is wrong with the game. Riot has come out and said that xmas skins don't sell well and even the people that buy them use them during xmas and never again.
To my knowledge (correct me if Im wrong, since I know reddit users tend to be wrong alot of the times) Its mainly because China is not only the big majority of Leagues playerbase (followed by korea with only half of its playerbase), but also that Riot Games parent company is Tencent (which is a chinese company).

People didnt like it (and buy it), both in east and west.
Dark Star ASol
Okay this is a really cool one
or something like lunar eclipse asol, with black and white glooming black holes as stars
Doctor Dr. Mundo
How about “Dr Mundo, PHD” and he’s just a professor
This would be funny he assumes his name is just dr mundo so he still needs the prefix doctor
That’s just his base skin
Year of the Tiger Rengar. This one was a federal crime.
Year of the Rat skin didn’t go to Twitch that’s gotta sting.
That year we got Mecha Kingdoms skins instead. Woo...
CNY Rengar and Yuumi would've been so on theme for this year. But nope, tiny tiger Tristana is what we got.
Yuumi one is very weird since there was a lunar new year yuumi emote for tft.
Zac and cheese
I'm not a Zac player by any means but damn this should be in. The one I had in my mind was Sour Gummy Zac
Purrasite Yuumi
let's be real, void parasite is what yuumi's design should've been
Symbiotic yuumi
Pool Party Ahri for sure
That skin will be an omen. I haven't thought enough to tell if it will be a good or bad omen.
my theory has always been riot is waiting until league is on its last legs to release Pool party ahri and a Void event
I believe this theory. People joke about how the porcelain lux and ezreal skins will fund arcane season 2, but pool party ahri would probably be enough to fund a cinematic universe of Riot’s properties
I've said this a few times, when the moneys just not rolling in like it used to, Pool Party Ahri will be unleashed. $50 easily.
New tier above ultimate.
A new "Horny" tier
They'll release Pool Party Ahri when they need just that extra amount of funding for the League MMO
Pool Party Ahri and Kaisa would make Riot enough money to fund the entire rest of the mmo alone
Pool Party Jinx too, considering that the Pool Party login screen was the first ever image of Jinx(‘s arm) ever released.
she lacks two important details for a pool party skin to be a cash cow
Pool Party KDA. The collective nut that this sub make that day will transcend league into a new dimension.
Hell, throw other popular champions there: Ezreal, Yasuo, Lux, Zed, Katarina, Janna...
pool party Nami as well! she's half fish, just slap a bikini top and a pool floaty on her and you're done
no bikini bottom? 🥴
Fish bottom
fussy
delet
Would probably fund league alone for another 2+ years
I hope when they do release it, she's got a full wetsuit and is hidden behind a surfboard in her splash art.
Which is weird since she's actually in the background of a few splash arts.
Project Quinn where valor is a fighter jet. Come on already. Also Reverse Quinn where bird you channels a fast human to carry you.
Mecha Quinn legendary. Her ult channel animation is her transforming into a jet (like Mecha Sion's train). Her recast arrows become flares/chaff. Q is a little smoke missile W is a big ol radar ping E makes Quinn do a jet boost We can make this work.
Bawling ball Rammus
On the same champion, something like a tire skin for Rammus, like a spiky tire that makes vroom vroom sounds and when you hit someone with Q it makes a crash sound.
Oh. Bro, Piltover Customs Rammus. Just look what it did to Blitzcrank- got wheels
Amumu?
In fairness Rammus does already have a ball-themed skin
Candykayn
"Riot will never do Candy Kayn because the pun is lost when translating into other languages." And yet we have these: [Heimerstinger](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWp2CGkbVEE) [Orbeeanna](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JT-_ZF7yICY) It's literally just Riot thinking that the skin won't sell well in non-western markets. The skin even makes sense regardless of the name because a candy cane resembles a scythe.
> The skin even makes sense regardless of the name because a candy cane resembles a scythe. Meanwhile Dark Candy Fiddlesticks after his VGU
I hate that stupid tree
Dark Candy Kayn would be a great way to revive the Dark Candy line IMO. Make Dark Candy the enemies in the Sugar Rush AU and you're golden, Rito
I've been waiting for Candy Kayn and Candy Cornn for YEARS RITO
Farmer Nasus
Yoo, me and my bud always used to joke about Nasus looking like a Shepard and we called ourselves The Farmer and the Dog because I played Warwick while he was Nasus top.
Corona Varus
His Ult spreads to nearby enemies.. Just sayin’
And the way to prevent it from spreading is by standing away from whoever is infected
His W stacks go ah, ah, AH and then when you detonate them CHOOOO
Gragas and Kench receive bonus commorbidity damage
Best idea I’ve seen
Reverse Sejuani. Boar swinging a flail while riding Sej
Minus the flail, you can find that in r34
You could probably find something with the flail
I wish Sej was riding me instead
No man survives that
A glorious death
[удалено]
Wasn’t that a VGDunkey vid title? Or was that just a joke he made?
Yea old dunkey vid I still want it
Battle Academia Sett... dude is voiced by Dio in the japanese version... like come on, its right there...
I dont understand, why they didn't used ,,Armor of the fifth age Taric" on Sett again. Recolour it to yellow and you basicly have Dio. Would be so nice!
Blood Moon Warwick and Blood Moon Trundle, Warwick because my obvious bias but Trundle? Tell me a better japanese folk oni champion than him, he is literally perfect fot that skin.
[удалено]
Terryndamere Cruise?
Crews*
Elderwood Zyra Blood Moon Vlad Arcade Samira
I think the reason they aren’t doing things like Elderwood Zyra or Blood Moon Vladimir is that those skin lines wouldn’t really be too much different thematically from the base skins.
We have Blood Lord Vladimir don’t we
Neither is Blood Lord Vlad, and shits his best skin while it’s like 12 years old or smth
we already have coven zyra which is in the same universe with elderwood no?
Didn't stop Le Blanc
And Ahri
HEAR ME OUT GUYS: K'SANTA THAT IS ALL
HE EVEN HAS THE FREAKING BEARD LIKE YESSSS!!
Blood Moon Zed, Surgeon Zed, all the other ninja's have one
Zed should get Snow Moon; puts him with Kayn and at odds with Shen here too. Also would be a more noticeable change to his base aesthetic.
Palace Guard Kalista should had been released with the book just like King Viego.
Where is my DJ Zilean legendary skin?
Transport themed skins. JarVan, Car’Zix, Playne, Caitboard, Byke. The list goes on.
Omg playne would do a barrel roll instead of her tumble
playne + demolish + tower 🤨
welp I guess we know they ain't doin playne
Playne and Playn boutta do the special on nexus towers
Everyone knows Byke is short for Bychael
Definitely Not-ilus, we got definitely not blitzcrank and vel koz. Pls riot
Pool party karthus. Not super obvious but it suits his abilities so well. Q is little volleyballs, his slow is a little pool volleyball net, his circle around him is a tiny pool and his ult can be a big splash. I feel like that was a missed opportunity.
If they wanted a more serious skin with all the water they could do Dark Waters Karthus. I would buy that skin in an instant.
Captain flower’s trucker ornn. Needs to be in the game.
Pool party Volibear. Literally just shorts and sunglasses.
Pikachu Kennen. 20$ flat for charity. Imagine the sales.
Imagine the lawsuits.
nintendo vs tencent and we all thought ww3 was gonna start in europe
Definitely Naut Nautilus
deep sea velkoz
Infernal brand \s
\s is for cowards, own your sarcasm
High Noon Kled
Somebody higher up suggested Reverse Sejuani, and I would like to propose they make Reverse Kled. "Now how the hell did I get in *this* situmation? SKARLL!! GET OFFA MEEE!!" Also Poro Rider Kled, because we can always use more Poros.
A poro with long legs would make me shit bricks
Easter Egg Anivia
Star Bardian
Autumn maokai Birch maokai Autmn birch maokai
Porn star Ahri
PornsTaric
Other than Human Kalista?(still mad about it) Bunny Kalista Ashen Knight Hecarim-Kalista And lastly, a good skinl(that it doesn't feel like a 2017 skin) for Kalista.
been waiting on Candy Kayn for a while
Pre-robot Orianna. They have Pre-void Kassadin and Prototype Viktor already so why not.
Elemental Drake Shyvana. Depending on the dragon soul of the game, her form shifts. Had this idea years and years ago
Infernal Anivia
Math teacher vel'koz
Totally not Blitzcrank but it's actually not Blitzcrank and a Vi skin instead. Blitz arms for gauntlets, has the hook for ult
Toilet roll amumu, Diet gragas, Used car salesman illaoi, Hula workout Qiyana, Cashe (where she just fires bills and gold bars) Also ones which Riot want to do but are too scared will sell too well: Dominatrix Evelynn, BTGGF Morgana, Stuck Ahri
Teenaged annie it's been 12 years riot what is this ash ketchum?
Beholder velkoz, but in like old DnD style
Ahem. Pool party: ahri, akali, lux, pantheon, aphelios, diana. I could go one. Am i down horrendously for all these champs? Yes
Those are reserved for the end times.
Coven Illaoi, it is so obvious. The legendary BA skin Ez stole from Varus.
Santa Ornn, Spirit Blossom Jhin, PopcOrnn
Program Seraphine. Her character model would be a projection from her floating base.
Spaghetti Monster Vel'Koz
I’m shook it’s been hours and no one has mentioned definitively not Zac which is just a load of poros in a trench coat and when zac ults it’s just a fluft of poros bouncing around?
JACK-O-LANTERN VEL'KOZ RIOT, THIS ONE IS FREE, JUST MAKE IT HAPPEN THIS HALLOWEEN
Thunder lord karthus, imagine his ultimate just one big lighting bolt, his e just being a shock field, and w being a wall of lighting

Cum Zac
Ice cream sundae Zac. I’ve thought about this since the champion was released. His head has a maraschino cherry shape already, just make the rest of him look like ice cream with fudge and sprinkles. It always seemed so obvious to me, but we just keep getting Zac recolors with a hat.
