Skin Wars; What skins do you wanna see/play?

I was gonna add a poll but there's loads of different skins wars you can have.
Ice, fire, robots, animals, cops, robbers, beach, desert, etc etc.

So I'm asking y'all to get an idea of what your favorite skin themes are. Next week (Feb 14-15) Featured Matches will be skin wars!

And it just so happens that the 14th is Valentine's Day! So I'm thinking I'll make a Vday themed roster, and a perfect opposing roster would be...anti-Valentine's.
I'm thinking some dark/depressing/emo/goth skins. I'll have to research to see if there'll be enough skins for each roster. (sadly I don't think the new Varus and Annie skins will be released by then) (well they might be, actually. If not before then probably the day OF Valentine's knowing Riot)

But yes, that leaves Sunday's games open for discussion, and this will help for future skin wars as well.

Leave a comment on what you'd like to see or play, and any suggestions as well! :)


EDIT: Well apparently I can only think of Heartseeker Ashe, Heartseeker Vayne, and Jack of Hearts TF for the Valentine's side....sigh. Riot pls.
OH WAIT, the Debonair skins can count! That would put them at 6 champs/skins with Debonair Jayce, Vi and Ezreal.

Ninjas vs pirates

Shen, Akali, Kennen, Zed, Ninja Rammus
VS
Gangplank, Miss fortune (close enough to a pirate). Any champion with a pirate skin: Swain, Kat, Ryze, Rumble, Trist, Fiddlesticks, any I forgot.


This has to happen at least once. The champions that are already pirates/ninjas wouldn't need skins.

Edit: For valentines day any Debonair skin would work

I reserve the right to be loudly opinionated on subjects I am completely ignorant of

One way it could be handled, and I'm not saying it will be, just throwing out ideas and hoping for feedback, would be select a theme that has champions with base skins that fit this (ex: ninjas, and get kennen, zed, akali, etc as base roster). Then pick out skins that also fit this theme and let people use champions if they have those skins (like ninja rammus). Doing this for every roster makes sure that even if few people in factions own the skins for the theme that the roster is based on, we can still get games to work.

I'm sure there are enough Fire/Ice skins if you wanted to do something like that. You might have to cheat and consider a few water skins ice, but off the top of my head, Freljord Rammus, Frost Queen Janna, Arctic Ops Caitlyn/Varus, Frostfire Annie, Cryocore Brand, that one with Ziggs...well, shit, I guess that's more than enough.

Snowdown VS Harrowing would also be fun if you had enough people that have those limited skins.

You forgot to add 'Bonus points for Viktor wearing the Full Machine or Creator outfits', as well as 'Bonus points to Swain if he wears the Tyrant outfit'

We can do wars based on colors. Red vs Blue would be amusing, and it doesn't necessarily have to be Fire vs Ice.

Perhaps something like Creators vs Destroyers, or Lawful vs Chaotic (not necessarily Cops vs Robbers deal either). Like Viktor, Heimer, and Karma seek to create better inventions or better society in some way, whereas those such as Jinx, The Void beings, and Brand want to tear down people and society and watch the world burn/be consumed. Though that might not be skins...hmmm...

Little update. The sign ups should be up soon. For Sunday we'll be going with the Mechanical vs Royalty rosters. We may or may not add people to the rosters. We'll be looking for feedback and advice to help balance out the rosters, but if all seems good, we'll leave it as is.

As for the Valentine's matches on Saturday I was thinking of adding a uh..."OTP" thing as well. Someone had mentioned to me the other day about that. For example we already have Debonair Ezreal, we could add in Lux if he's chosen.
Now I know lots of people have their own "OTP", but I'd rather stick to ones popular within the League community.
Nothing crazy like Velkoz X Ahri >.>

So far I can think of:
Garen x Katarina
Jarvan x Shyvana
Zac x Riven
Lulu x Veigar
Tristana x Rumble
Leona x Pantheon

I can't really think of any other well known pairings. But I'm sure everyone has their favorites. :P
But I feel like the pairings would be too....restrictive? I don't like the idea of forcing a team to play a certain champion. For example if someone wanted to play Garen, someone else would HAVE to play Katarina.

But if it's fine with y'all, it's fine with me.

Also, I went on na.op.gg and see this

Akali x Zed.

No, I don't ship Akali and Shen.


Ahri x Wukong is another, just remembered. It makes sense if you watched the League of Legends anime.

In case anyone missed it, I've made the sign ups!

Even if you don't own ANY of the skins listed, you're still encouraged to sign up! Just specify that you don't own any.
Players with the skins/champs will have higher priority, but in case people don't show up, we'll sub you in. :)

Like for example if you have Annie, Karthus, Vlad, etc but you don't own any of their skins (or the specific skins), just let me know when you sign up where it asks you which skins/champs you own.

Garen x Katarina
Zac x Riven
Kuronan violently cringes, so much his neck audibly snaps to the left. His mouth begins to foam as he falls out of his chair. A Summoner Has Disconnected.

On a more serious note, while the Community might think it a fun idea to create OTPs and then throw them against each other for Angst, I think a Rivalry Match would be more appropriate (IE: Pick all the people who have individual grudges and throw them in a match, Kassadin against Malz, Lucian against Thresh, that sort of thing)

While I agree Zac x Riven is a bit out of nowhere, Garen x Katarina is pretty much canon.

Two reasons.

One, gonzo porn to justify tentacle riven stuff.

Two, because Riven never had any real solid choice for her to pair up with until Yasuo was released, so people jumped on Zac for teh lulz.
