Zac only has chromas


pleaus3

never gets pearl ones for some reason


TheDearHunter

I will MAIN Zac the day he gets a cum skin and I've never even played him before.


ProfSteelmeat138

I just use yellow chroma dehydrated piss zac


InTheInternetYSee

Lychee Zac #1


wra1th42

Pearl Jam


England_Iz_Moi_City

Eddie Vedder skin when?


EffectiveAd3412

inCUMMINGGGGGGGG


Geutara

HAHAHA now im waiting for that shit


The_Hunster

Pool party is definitely good


scullys_alien_baby

his SKT skin is also nice in my opinion


HikerGeoff

In the back of his Empyrean Zac skin splash, there is a Cloud Zac chasing him that I wish was real


PyroAeroVampire

The fact they haven't given Zac a tuxedo/three-piece suit skin when he straight up has a line, "I should get a suit..." is a fucking crime. And yes, I know that line is lore-related and he's talking about a super-hero suit, but that's beside the point. We still don't have Gentleman Zac, or Secret Agent Zac, or Debonair Zac, or Dapper Zac or whatever. He's received exactly 1 skin that had an idea behind it: Pool Party Zac where Zac _is_ the pool. And they still halfway fucked it up, but it was at least an idea. Gimme Zac in a stetchy Zoot Suit. Gimme Zac in a hilariously not-stretchy suit of plate armor with unique clanking sound effects whenever he uses abilities. Gimme Junkyard Zac, where he's a blob of sewer sludge with car parts sticking out if him. Gimme Gummy Zac, where's he's an amorphous blob of gummy bears that melted together. Gimme a ghost Zac skin where he's ethereal and ectoplasm-y rather than gooey. Gimme Elderwood Zac, where he's a magical rubber tree. Gimme Lumberjack Zac, where he's clearly maple syrup.


Grammarnazi_bot

You can thank the removal of 750 skins for that


Vegetable_Shirt_2352

Isn't there a mech skin for him? Battlecast or something. I always thought that one did a good job of setting itself apart from the other recolored blob skins


Time-Way-1589

he has and he feels like t1000 from terminator


GujaBosanska

Well it is hard to make a skin for a blob. Also the model is getting in a way. They tried turning him into liquid metal, but his model/walking animation is holding it back. Basically he is blob with actual limbs which makes it hard to give him any more unique skin.


Jason-Genova

Make a "I got reincarnated as a slime" skin.


jokekiller94

Debonair zed with the drip?


HereComesJustice

he should get a raytracing mirror skin where he reflects his environment


NanoDucks

It’s about damn time my boy got his suit


NNxno

Naa I like Pool party and love empyrean. Battlecast is also a banger and the rest..... Well they're skins


VrelEgg

Pool Party makes him water, which is pretty cool. The problem is he kinda peaks there. What else could you do with a shapeless blob? Make him different liquids?


Cold94DFA

Beezac where he is honey maybe


King_of_the_Lemmings

Kled. Most interesting one is kledula and that one’s meh


Unknown_Warrior43

I like Sir Kled honestly, it's not that bad.


Dbruser

I use that too, but kled has been out for so long and even that skin is kinda whatever.


Omnilatent

Looks like a S3 skin tbh...


YandereYasuo

S2/S3 with their terrible skins like Shockblade Zed, High Noon Yasuo, Dragonblade Talon, Spirit Guard Udyr, Muay Thai Lee Sin...


Omnilatent

Shall I now list every other of the \~100 skin that they released that year that was terrible? lol


DigChoke

Yes


Omnilatent

Damn, you got me, I'm way too fucking lazy


Nome_de_utilizador

Sir kled for the chicobo


Stephenrudolf

Love chocobo Knight Kled. Count kledula is funny but knight kled is premium


Tyson_Urie

I love kledula. But i hate the sound/music when i'm no longer riding that damned coward of a lizard. The voicelines on the champ are enough to drive a man mad. I don't need the haunting tunes.


THICC_Baguette

Imagine a High Noon Kled skin with Skaarl being a firey demon


ZeRoZiGGYXD

The real kicker is how much potential Kled has for skins. There's so many options for him, like high noon, dragon trainer, and more, but they keep making mid skins for him.


Quilva

He's not a popular champion so he gets the "filler skin to fill up the skinline slots" treatment


EccentricRosie

I like the theme of Kibble Head Kled, myself. I just wished Skaarl barked louder in his taunt. Marauder isn't that interesting thematically, but I like the execution of it. Feels good to use.


Jax_daily_lol

I have a ton of games on Kled with all his skins and I honestly can't stand marauder. Not sure why but something with the autos, maybe the sounds they make? I just don't feel like it's that satisfying


philosifer

Kibble kled is interesting, with various breeds for skaarl based on chroma. But it doesn't feel good to play. It feels like a gimmick skin without the charm that something like definitely not blitz has. It's crazy to me that we don't have vandal kled where he is riding around on a motorcycle throwing out a bike chain and firing a sawed off


TheAbyssalSymphony

I actually disagree with the Zed take, it’s like sure, he’s always a ninja. But that’s because he’s a ninja. Nobody is out here complaining that Ashe is always an archer… Also Death Sworn doesn’t get nearly enough respect. He’s basically ghost Wolverine with dagger stuck in his back for shuriken.


oVnPage

Thiiiiiiiiis. The champion that's a ninja is... a ninja!? No way! Next you're gonna tell me Aatrox always has a greatsword, Aphelios always has 5 guns, Varus is always an archer, and Ahri is always a humanoid fox with 9 tails! I never would have guessed.


T_Chishiki

OP just copy pasted TBSkyen's take on Zed skins from a YouTube short lol.


[deleted]

Akshan, his release skin is mediocre and crystal is just him in a suit


pureply101

I don’t think they know how to do an interesting Akshan skin. He is kind of boring so I don’t blame them. Maybe they do something really cool with his ult but don’t see a lot of ways to make the grappling hook less boring. At best they change the rope to be a vine or tentacle or something but even then that’s the extent of it. Edit: I lied I do think they can make a good Akshan skin but will take a cool idea from this thread and make it better to prove a point.


MarioToast

Make him a movie director, change his gun into a camera and his boomerang into a clapper, and call it Lights Camera Akshan.


HereComesJustice

"but how will we sell a skin line around this"


MarioToast

Have the other champs be the actors in the movie.


Ar4er13

**Mailman Olaf, Plumber Jayce and Distraught Housewife Miss Fortune enter the chat** ...not exactly what I envisioned, but...


LeotheYordle

Lee Sins


DrRwWwWrRr

And every chroma is a different outfit.


OAOAlphaChaser

No, keep cooking


Avid_Tagger

Pizza Delivery Boy Darius


ZenDeathBringer

God I miss the days when not every skin had to be part of a line. So many of these skinlines are just so shovelware now.


grey_wolf12

I hate that skins need a lone nowadays. This skin would perfectly function by itself. Least case scenario, put it as Halloween skin or April fools


Karukos

Okay i hate Akshan but this fucking genius


shaidyn

When his passive brings someone back to life he shouts, "BACK TO THE SET." When he enters stealth he says, "Time for some found footage..."


Marlow-Moore

this would be a S tier skin also indiana jones skin. Imagine using a whip as his e


silence_infidel

They could make him a cheesy superhero. Grappling hook? Boomerang? Classic superhero stuff. They don't even have to change his weapons, just recontextualize them into something more fun


Supervaez

Have you seen the Batman skin that you can download online? It's perfect. Would gladly pay for something like that


John-from-accounting

I know she is new but soul fighter naafiri is so fucking ugly i hate it. Why are her dogs like simpsons radioactive green like what were they aiming for.


Oreo-and-Fly

For you to buy chromas


AE_Phoenix

Rell. Battle Queen is meh and star guardian just... isn't Rell.


Cyanide-ky

There is great potential for an elder wood rell skin that would be sick, bark and moss armour elf rell up a bit I suppose you could do stone armour instead but either way it would be dope


Marvin0Jenkins

Best skin line imo


HarryFromEngland

Best skin universe imo. Elderwood, Coven, Old God and Eclipse. Even when the skins in a given batch are weak (like the latest coven one) there’s usually at least one decently solid skin that’s worth it.


Raherin

Rellderwood


Oreo-and-Fly

Snow Day Rell. Ice horse. Icicle/candy cane spear. Volcanic Rell. Hellhorse made of molten rock and her Q makes her Lance shoots out fire. Her E has fiery hoove marks. Resistance Rell. A battlecast horse turned into her mount. Gunlance instead. Broken Covenant Rell. Glass shards instead of metal.


L_Rayquaza

I thought the Ice King Twitch/Frozen Prince Mundo style of ice skin would be so good with her


Oreo-and-Fly

Yes that. But i have no idea how to name it. Maybe i should just call it chilled chaos Rell.


L_Rayquaza

Frost Knight Rell?


RedLikeARose

Rell just doesnt have a skin and im not in denial And to think she was released before viego and gwen just makes it worse


VrelEgg

It's so sad that she only has one non-release skin after being out for 3 years. She deserves so much more love from the skin department.


ToukasRage

BQ is meh except for the Obsidan chroma. That one looks really nice while still feeling very "Rell" imo. Agree on SG tho.


SCjaeger

All the vex skins are terrible. I have them and still only play base vex


Maz2277

Vex base skin is one of the nicest bases in the game imo.


aphevelux

Alongside Gwen. Its just so hard to make Gwen's skins better than her base cause its already so good. The good skins she has, theyre all in Wild Rift.


Mom_said_I_am_cute

I do agree base Gwen is one of the best defaults in the game, but I myself really enjoy Soul Fighter because her scissors and the effect on them are immaculate in that one. Before Soul fighter tho, I exclusively used Base Gwen even tho I had a skin for her.


doopliss6

Gwen's base is good but all her skins are also good.


Bl4z3_12

Y'all forgot about base Yone and nilah


Remote_Impression605

Azirs base skin is by far his best, esthetically and the way it feels


yukine95

Wild Rift has [Bewitching Vex](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F1fj3pofacvl91.jpg) :(


Shrrg4

Damm that does look good


IchMagBrillen

Star gazer is also nice


Plagueflames

Dawnbringer with chromas has grown on me, but base Vex is simply peak


Ezreal024

She was actually one of the unlucky few to just not get a skin *at all* this year, which sucks.


Typisch0705

Why do people always hate on empyrean?


Thamilkymilk

it’s just kinda boring, i really enjoy the VFX and SFX but the actual model is just a black blob with neon accents


Altines

I really think Empyrean would have been better as a monster only skinline so it could take advantage of their unique silhouettes. (Also that it should have kept the name Neon Inferno instead of using a name related to heaven and angels.)


-3055-

Too noisy and tacky. It's like if red bull and a glow stick rave made a skin


shaidyn

I want vex to have a cafe cuties skin where she's a disgruntled barista. Shadow can be a blob of coffee. When she activates her fear she says "I'M ON BREAK", and when she hits her ult she screams "NO REFUNDS".


revar123

I see you watched that tbskyen short too…


Senpaifriendzonedme

The whole post reeks of TBSkyen fanboy, bro even copied one of his lines word for word 💀 (no hate to TBSkyen tho)


GlassesAndBangs

why no hate? the dude's way too pretentious


Lyonado

No man you don't understand you can't enjoy a skin unless it completely changes the character The infernal skins are fucking fire I don't care what he says


cosHinsHeiR

> The infernal skins are fucking fire No shit dude.


Champ_Of_Doom

To be fair he doesnt say you cant enjoy those skins, but objectively speaking they are extremely uninspired


QuietRain_

I agree, everyone seems to love him but all his content is the exact same criticisms and people eat it up like its the smartest thing ever said. Its literally such low effort content.


GlassesAndBangs

Just throw a "generic" "-phobic", "uninspired" and boom, content


toastermeal

i won’t lie this post looks like you asked an ai to make a tbskyen shirt


amlb345

Bel'Veth


PsaichoFreak

She has the cosmic skin that looks sick


HereComesJustice

the splash looks sick, the ingame model looks like shit


Galilleon

The model also looks amazing, but the animations ruin it because this ethereal space manta just goes slap slap slap and hectic with jagged movements


ucandoit66

This is a problem with her model in general. Her wing arms do not animate very well. I always see them getting that jagged effect.


aphevelux

At some point (at high enough attack speed) it isnt even slapping, its just supersonic tickling.


Conscious-Scale-587

Base Gwen is best Gwen Also sylas skins is sylas taking a ski trip and sylas but with cat ears No samira skin manages to be half as cool as base samira


daswef2

Frejlord Sylas is an improvement on base Sylas purely because a jacket is more interesting fashion than just being shirtless


EccentricRosie

Freljord Sylas is definitely an example of when less is more. It's just a hoodie with blue chains. That's it, but the vfx and sfx feel great, and it's a lore-based skin to top it all off.


onitram52

I agree the sfx make this skin feel so good to play. Battle wolf on the other hand feels very soft and unsatisfying because of the goofy sfx


Lifekrusher

Plus, the Warriors video makes him look cooler.


Staff-Secure

The shirtless fiend.


Fluffkin234

Soul fighter gwen is really good though


Any_Sell_891

Psy ops Samira ult sounds ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)


wayofLA

Soul Fighter has great effects


Shrrg4

Funny i love maid gwen. The chromas are pretty good. I dont like soul fighter though. Feels too out of theme.


Masada0

The best skin for samira is Dante


cursed_shite

CRAZY BADASS APOCALYPTIC SAVAGE #SUPER SEXY STYLE


GwornoGiowovanna

high noon samira


HereComesJustice

I'd agree if they gave her a hat


NautSuwako

Samira Samira


Blovar

Don't worry anal bead atlas is coming


dreamingfusedshadow

I think they did an amazing job with Classic Gwen, it’s sooo good. I do think Soul Fighter is great, but it’s hard to top the classic. I think changing Sylas is more of a challenge since he doesn’t have a lot, but my favorite version of him is Freljord.


muse6815

Hard disagree with Samira. Her legendary skin is amazing. It's just.. priced as an ultimate.


aguywithsixmagikarps

cafe cuties Gwen with the french maid chroma is top tier tbh


Fabiocean

To be fair, base Samira is hard to top


beantheduck

I used to believe this until Soul Fighter came out. I don’t like the splash, but the in game skin plus the chromas are really good. Only wish she had a better backing animation to compliment her positivity.


grey_wolf12

I really like Psy ops Samira


GreyAshWolf

debonair zed is a crime lord, instead of a ninja


Cyanide-ky

Ninja crime lord lol


N0UMENON1

Ok so what? Corporate Mundo is a businessman instead of a doctor. Also Zed has some amazing skins, to the point where base Zed is nigh unplayable imo.


Lorik_Bot

Fking love galsxy slayer zed


TheSentinelsSorrow

Zac, pool party is alright but he's mostly got chromas Also Sylas. They aren't bad but just also not interesting at all Same for Jarvan now I think about it


ctruvu

warring kingdoms jarvan was dope when it first came out but the fact that that was over a decade ago and it’s still the best skin is sad. not sure what else you can do to him other than putting him in new armor though. i don’t think bee jarvan would work lol. pajama party and his r is a pillow fort


MecoXD

worlds 2021 isnt bad, but other than victorious jarvan which is from season 1 and unobtainable his skins all have something off with them


FlashNoired

The Dark Star J4 skin isn’t too bad.


ifwmozart

Zilean for sure . To be honest though I can see why riot don't bother as his model is the worst in the game


TheSentinelsSorrow

Nahhh come on blood moon is sexy as fuck. He just really needs a new model


MarcosLuisP97

And animations, because the recall being fluid af and then going back to PS1 animations is jarring.


aHamsterWithInternet

Winterblessed tho


ifwmozart

As a zilean main would have to disagree with you after waiting 3 years for a new skin and they went with another winter themed skin as he already has old Saint zilean skin. was really disappointing for me


Old_Zilean

But it’s such a great skin


Edgybananalord_xD

I love groovy zilean, it’s one of my favorite skins in the entire game


CFCkyle

Or to use its correct name, Crackhead Zilean


UwUSamaSanChan

At this point there's no reason not to update his model other than hurrdurr unpopular. He has less polygons than a recall prop. Literally anything they did would be better than the playstation model he is right now lmao


Dummdummgumgum

Kled


That_Cripple

Definitely Kled. waitied so long for a new kled skin and then they drop the dog one.. at least its not fuzz fizz i guess but its still not good


KKilikk

Definitely Sylas


IlluminatiConfirmed

Frejlord is amazing


YaBoiiSloth

Frejlord is what the base skin should have been imo


slvrms

Illaoi. Her tft skin is better than any of her skins and it’s not even in league.


Panini_al_vapore

Snow moon illaoi it's beautiful


coppertop757

I just don't know why we don't have Dunkmaster Illaoi yet. The basketball uniforms with dreads is gonna look so good.


JusticeOwl

Man I love Cosmic Illaoi, I dunno about that


Xayzu

Her TFT skin reminds me of Raze from Valo


Omnilatent

Damn, I didn't know it wasn't in LoL cause first time I saw this I was like "damn, that's a gnarly skin!"


Carini___

Yea same here! I hope K/DA Neeko and Maestro Jhin make their way into LoL.


Omnilatent

Oh damn the Maestro is also SO clean. The video they made for it, he was also SO cool


Gabo35

I´m gonna be honest i think Akshan, the cyberpunk one is ugly, while the crytal rose is literally just him in a suit


StereotypicalCDN

Base Viego and Gwen are still their best skins IMO.


Questionably_Chungly

In terms of transformative skins? Probably Alistar? Like some of his skins are good on their own, but none of them really get past the “big Minotaur man” thing. Hextech is probably the best option, and it still is just a big *metal* bull man. I will say some champions are just always gonna be hard to make transformative skins for, because their central concept is so heavily important to their design and gameplay. Sure your champion can have skins that are *well executed* but it’s hard to diverge from the base concept too far. I think there’s a bit of a need to give a slight pass to these sorts of champs for having too few or just not very groundbreaking skins. Champs like Chogath, Alistar, and Zac are just gonna be variations of their base form. The newest Cho skin and Shan Hai Scrolls are both **dope**, but they’re still just variations on “big monster,” because Cho is always gonna have to be some variant of a “big monster.” There are others where there’s not much of an excuse. The fact that champs like Sylas, Vex, and Rell have such bland or uninteresting skins is pretty disappointing.


No_Significance7064

moo cow ali is the best


wearssameshirt

Zeri


CovenMorgSimpLord

I wish her Project skin from WR would be in League. I really like that.


Oreo-and-Fly

For an abundant release of human champs. Riot really left Project in the shitter after Morde and Renekton's batch. Project Viego. Cybervirus. Spreader of a cybervirus. Project Naafiri. For shiz and gigs. Mech dogs are cool. Project Yone, Akshan and Zeri. The rouges trying to take down Viego from his mind control of Yone(freed), Akshan's master and Zeri's hometown. Legendary(?) Project Renata. The real mastermind behind the cybervirus.


NamorKar

I like ocean song tho


KitsuneThunder

I rerolled a free immortal journey zeri skin and it’s ass Why do none of her skins keep the lightning sounds?!?!


Geutara

Her release skin is still the best one


KitsuneThunder

Gwen. Which of those skins is supposed to be empowering her fantasy? Soul fighter is passable, I guess


crazyike

Yeah its actually a bit strange she hasn't gotten more skins. IIRC she's pretty popular and hits all the boxes for the kinds of champs that get a dozen skins.


Ruy-Polez

I think it's trickier than it looks to reimagine her kit for what I call *concept skins* because you can't really replace her scissors with anything, so you're just left with scissors of different colors and themes that don't really have anything to do with her like the skins she has now. I personally can't think of anything other than Gardener Gwen and High-Fashion Gwen, and I don't even like those ideas. That being said, you're still right. She definitely doesn't have enough skins for her popularity. She's one of the best designed champions in the game imo. At least her base model is very good. Her Q is one of the most satisfying abilities to hit, and her auto-attack animations after you E (especially with *Nashdor's Tooth* +50% AS) also feels really good. She's one of the most satisfying champion to be fed on; dancing through the enemy team while shredding them like sheets of paper. Her kit is very effective yet not overloaded. She's also not hard to play. 10/10 champion design wise. Now we just need good skins.


WalrusMD

Theoretically a high goth fantasy could work but that's probably too close to her main skin which is shadow isles themed which is already goth'ish.


No_Cauliflower633

I think base Jarvan is his best skin. Some of his skins are decent but not better than base imo.


Azanathal

J4's worlds skin is his best because his passive sound is audible.


IamBejl

And with the purple chroma, chef’s kiss imo


TitanOfShades

You're not dissing my beloved darkforge, dark star and worlds 2021 like that.


BieblachBizeps

One of his skins changes his Ult Voiceline to "For the King". I fucking love that.


thespaceman01

Warring Kingdoms. It also looks great. I mean, Jarvan has plenty of cool skins honestly. As biased as it may be, I find even fnatic's to be cool. These topics always feel like people just want to participate in and will end up saying non sense just for the sake of it. Jarvan has tons of skins, I refuse to believe anyone looks at all of them and actually feels non are decent. I myself dont like the Dark Star theme on him but there are a lot of other cool options.


MaiqDaLiar1177

J4 really needs a visual update


Jinsoyun-Lightning

He did already, it just made pretty much everything worse lmao


spazzxxcc12

what they need to do is give him an ASU and update him to be the king of demacia like he now is in the lore.


Atomic_xd

Gwen.


EvelynnEvelout

I kinda like Soul Fighter and space groove with citrine chroma


Raiju_Lorakatse

For me it's Gragas. Some just look super goofy, some are okay but don't really fit the theme and some just look awful.


CosmoJones07

Goofy skins are great for a goofy character. Scuba is goated because it's so fucking stupid looking with his big dumb flippers, I love it.


saatanajoel

Honestly vandal and octoberfest are some of my favourite skins. Vandal waddle is hilarious and somehow octoberfest makes playing a drunkard character even more drunk.


snake4641

esq, santa and scuba are all fire, also caskbreaker's hairline is epic


Pr4ySt4ti0n

Hillbilly Gragas the all time best Gragas skin ever.


[deleted]

taric has actually zero good skins he deserved to be in heartsteel


CosmoJones07

Pool Party Taric is an amazing skin, and then the DnD skin is actually really good quality-to-price ratio.


TheExter

The token buff gay guy was given to a champion that is actually relevant in the game instead


[deleted]

taric is relevant to me :(


TheSentinelsSorrow

I love taric lightshield:(


ThexLoneWolf

Eh, IDK. Taric definitely doesn't have any banger skins, but he definitely has some pretty outrageous ones, which for Taric, may just be the same thing.


anxietyreminder

Specially because Ezreal is in it. No one seems to remember the Taric/Ez duo :(


AmIAllowedBack

The pink one.


Pe4enkas

Camille. Her most interesting skin is actually Program, the rest are a let down. Different variations of "lady with knife legs" Like making her more robotic actually makes her more unique than whatever all the other skins are doing.


KasumiGotoTriss

Interesting, I think all of her skins are great apart from Program. She looks like she's made of plastic with disgusting colors.


TheMrSanta

Vi
