User blog comment:Flutterrage/Ideas for skins/@comment-5648227-20121128090231

User blog:Sir.chloroplast/Some skin ideas, but they were kind of more just me presenting slightly silly ideas, than well-thought out skins.

Anyway, I really agree with what you've said about recolours. A lot of skins annoy me in that they are just not different enough, like Riot Girl Tristana, some of Olafs skins. There are other culprits, (but my brain is not fully functional)

Some of the things I really like in skins are voice reworks, ne animations for movement etc, and particle effect changes. All of these can really make a skin feel different to play. Take Warwick, for example. His skins arent particulary varied, with a generic fire skin, some recolored icy one and a granny one (i actually quite like Big Bad Warwick :P) but his other skin, Hyena Warwick is a great skin, in part because of his new animations. His loping walk isnt groundbreaking, but its something, something more than different colours.

As for your skin suggestions;

Hot Rod Rumble: Love it. A great example of what can be done to a character with a skin.

Revolution Gangplank: Hmmm. An interesting idea, but one that seems a bit similar to Minuteman Gangplank (I'd personally rather your version :D)

Dishonoured Kayle: I like it. Kayles other skins seem to much like basic recolors to me.

You, sir, make an excellent point.
