I'm just a total piece of shit and I'm not sure why I keep posting on this site. Christ, I have spent years with idiots giving me bad advice about online dating and haven't noticed that the thread I'm in selects for people that can't talk to people worth a damn.

couldn't you just go into the game files and replace every skin's files with the files for their base skin

i mean you don't get banned for skin mods that turn gangplank into k. rool or whatever so that should be fine

doesnt seem like an easy process from a cursory google

Yeah, you'd run into problems trying to replace the more complicated skins, most skin mods are simplistic because they replace the primary skin and it's particles. Whereas a lot of the more expensive skins have additional effects/particles that you wouldn't have anything from the base skin to replace with.

League has released 19 non sexy female champs in a row btw. Kai'say isn't even sexy she's just wearing a speed skating outfit for some reason. Before that it's nothing but cripples, giant noses, and muscle ladies going back like 3 years now.

Most HoN champs had a sexy female version, too. I think the main issue's a combination of model rigging (and, subsequently, silhouette), voiceover work, and, perhaps most importantly, character identity. They've shown some leeway in making the occasional "goofy" skin like Pizza Delivery Sivir or Moo Cow Alistar, but you run the risk of a champion's aesthetic identity getting wiped away if a certain version of them ends up becoming too popular. I mean, at this point, I actually do a double take in competitive LoL if someone's playing Kog'Maw without the Pug'Maw skin because of how melded the two are in my mind.

PERSONALLY I think skins shouldn’t be allowed in professional events. If the character’s original model doesn’t stand out on its own, then it should be visually updated and modernized into something distinctive. Skins are a big reason I stopped watching DOTA 2 after the first couple Internationals, and it’s why I don’t watch the League World Championships - even though I’m more familiar with the game now. It’s just too much work to figure out who is who.

I'm pretty sure I heard about that moba from this thread a long time ago. I haven't watched more than a handful of episodes of the show but the moba was really fun and played surprisingly well for a free browser-based real-time multiplayer game. It was basically twisted treeline. Some of the champs had league abilities almost exactly but combined in different ways, like there's one who basically had Shaco Q and Fiddlesticks R.

Why would I play that when I can play Tencent's Definitely Not League Of Legends on my mobile phone? It even has Batman and Wonder Woman!

And Wukong, because you can't make a MOBA without him showing up.

Adventure Time Battle Party was dope as gently caress.

Also yeah gender swap universe is A Thing in Adventure Time so everyone got their skins for that (except Finn because Fionna is a separate character).

my favorite crap moba was Fates Forever, until the devs realized they had a decent ad hoc voip solution but had it stapled to an iOS game that no one played, discontinued the MOBA, and now we have Discord.

That their aesthetics mesh with their given personality and characterization to create a cohesive whole. I don't think this is a particularly weird concept; costuming and character design is an artform all on its own in Hollywood. It's something we unconsciously evaluate, and what makes a character more or less difficult to buy varies depending on the setting and context. Pizza Delivery Sivir is a goofy joke skin, but if that was her base model with no changes to the storyline or voiceovers, she suddenly appears as a weird anomaly that fails to fit in with the rest of the cast.
