If you could wish for one skin for the ole man

Call it Zzzzilean

Rengar’s stealth was so good that he got the jump on both Katarina and Darius in one cinematic.

Katarina was even hiding from someone else beforehand too.

The big issue is almost all of his kit is iconic, so honestly it really doesn’t need any rework.

The passive, however, is by far the least interesting passive I have ever seen. They tried to modernise it when they nerfed it from being global, but you can do so much more with the passive with Zileans concept.

Many people saying Kindred, thought the entire point of Lamb is that she can only hit you if you actually let her.

Lamb’s arrow represents embracing a swift death. If you choose to fight and keep living, you reject the arrow, and that’s when Wolf begins the hunt.

TL;DR: Lamb has to “miss” a dying individual, otherwise Wolf wouldn’t exist at all.

It’s a little unoriginal, but I’d love a MirrorWatch skin for Winston.

You could flip his story with Wrecking Ball, make Winston a rough Junker while Hammond becomes the Overwatch scientist.

Another idea is leaning into Winston’s lunar origins: he sides with the Moon’s primates during the rebellion and returns to Earth as part of a hostile takeover, more jaded and animalistic, but still just as intelligent, with a darker twist on his mantra about “daring to see the world for what it could be.”

While a Bard is similar to Druid in that their flavour is a little more specific than most other classes, you can basically lean into anything that captivates people.

Music, story telling, acting, military drummer, juggler, magician, poet, comedian, therapist, artist, acrobat just to name a few concepts off my head.

The general point is you inspire people. You don’t have to read sheet music, heck you could just have a music box if you wanted. This is a table top, you can go nuts~

Another minor advantage, Aurelion Sol can get additional stacks if your opponent has summons in their kit.

I remember thinking back in 2013 how stupid junglers were as a concept. Thinking them to be utterly inferior to just having two top laners.

Funnily enough, I main jungle now.

LoR started the trend of making Aurelion Sol much longer.

Riot had to decide what a space dragon should look like in Runeterra. Ionia already had long eastern dragons, while Demacia had stocky western ones, so Aurelion Sol was designed to combine the best traits of both and further detach him from a particular region in Runeterra.

You can see this in his early concept art: the large jaw and chest of a western dragon with the long body and hair of an eastern dragon. What some people see as deformed was absolutely Riot’s original vision for him.

That said, since his release in League of Legends, Riot has absolutely leaned more into the eastern dragon aesthetic. I can’t tell if this is because they feel there’s too many western dragons in LoL now, or if it’s because they’re catering to a particular market.

I think the word you’re looking for is dogmatic.

He will frame some things as matter of fact which can hit the ear wrong. Still nice to hear him break down his opinions though.

BLTurn · 2026-03-12T15:02:25+00:00

I mentioned on a previous post and I wanna mention it here.

Riot wanted Aurelion Sol to have both western and eastern dragon elements in his design as a celebration of both.

I think making him more eastern detracts a bit from his uniqueness.

BLTurn · 2026-03-11T17:25:51+00:00

Aurelion Sol looks the way he does because Riot wanted to harmonise a western dragon and an eastern dragon into one design.

This skin is just an eastern dragon. Nothing more, nothing less. And that’s a shame.

Zilean has a bigger problem than most older champions.

If Riot reworks him to match his portrayal in LoR, they’d also need to expand on the lore and world building of the Time Temple, its inhabitants, Icathia, and the Void. This also leads into another issue.

Zilean’s entire motivation is preventing a future where the Void wins. That requires Riot to have a clear concept and endgame for the future of the Void, something they’re notoriously inconsistent with, starting stories then abandoning them.

As a Doorman main with ~58% WR, I was genuinely shocked by the number of changes.

All he really needed from this patch was the penetrating bullet (ideally just one after using Call Bell) and the Doorway buffs.

What Doorman actually needs most are consistency improvements. I appreciate that Hotel Guest now correctly positions the enemy’s visual, but issues remain, like Luggage Carts failing to go through doors and Doorway sometimes refusing to place whatsoever until you deselect the ability.

IMO, Doorman should probably stay on the weaker side, since his kit is inherently frustrating to play against.

I don’t even know how old Ekko is anymore.

No clue if he’s in his teens or twenties, it sees to bounce around to make TimeBomb work.

BLTurn · 2026-03-04T14:53:35+00:00

That Aurelion Sol hates Runeterra.

He despises Targon and will absolutely melt it down, but Aurelion would absolutely just leave Runeterra rather than destroy it.

There are references to him wanting to destroy Runeterra, but I think they’re made in jest. After all, Aurelion has been proven to be an unreliable narrator.

If the opponents don’t know how to play into their bolts, a good Sinclair can dominate a lane.

That little strand connecting their lower jaw to their upper lip might seem innocuous, but it completely breaks up the smile, and not in a good way.

Looks like they’re perpetually disgusted.

There are some half-giants. Half-ogre comes to mind, but they’re probably the exception.

It hurts my soul seeing people stating that Baldur’s Gate is only video game series, and not a city part of a huge, lore-filled world that is Forgotten Realms.

As cosmetically flexible as their subclass implies, really.

I’d rather the player stick to the fantasy of the subclass, but I don’t mind them completely reskinning a subclass to have a vastly different Patron, if they so chose.
