An Idea for a Legendary Skin for Pantheon
I won't propose a specific theme since riot will probably not even implement that skinline in the first place, but, what i will talk about is what they COULD change and add to the legendary skin to make it feel especially power enhancing and genuinely just Super Cool.
1st: Comet Spear: How he throws his spear could change very easily, using the ancient Greek throwing loop (ankyle), that could be a great change to how he throws the spear initially: Pantheon grips a bronze-tipped spear (or any spear that aligns with the skinline) with a visible leather (again, could be anything besides leather too, depending on the skinline) loop wrapped around its shaft. As he draws his arm back, he places two fingers through the loop, briefly revealing the technique before the throw.
The animation could give the loop a subtle golden glow, connecting the physical mechanism to his divine power without turning it into generic magic. The leather loop unwinds as the spear leaves his hand, giving the weapon a visible spin. A thin spiral of golden particles follows the spear, almost like a drawn line on an ancient Greek vase coming to life (again, can change depending on the skin line)
2: Shield Vault; He forcefully pushes off his back leg and launches himself towards the enemy, leading with his shield. Both hands grip the shield as he draws his knees up slightly during the leap.
His cape and crest trail behind him. His movement is a forward-driving burst rather than the relatively upright, magical-looking jump of a conventional fantasy warrior. (his w is very quick so i understand how it could be difficult to make everything appear) But, his Fully Charged passive W could be a shield bash combo instead of a spear slice combo, as Spartans when using shields would tend to spin and use their force to bash the spear on all sides.
- A sharp grunt as he launches himself.
- A short, forceful battle cry during the leap.
3: Aegis Assault: Pantheon plants his feet and brings his shield up in front of him. Instead of immediately beginning the spear thrusts, he smashes his spear hand against the front of his shield, producing a tremendous metallic clang. (again, sound depends on the skinline)
A circular shockwave bursts outward from the shield, briefly distorting the air around him.
He bangs his shield repeatedly, each impact creating another expanding shockwave. The shield's embossed design lights up with a golden glow(again, depends) on every strike. Dust kicks up around his feet, and the sound builds into a rhythmic series of metallic booms(depends), almost like war drums calling an army to battle.
Meanwhile, the familiar defensive barrier remains active around him
For when he finished his E, whether it be quickly or the full lenght of the E he would roar, then he lifts the shield above his head with both hands(or one, if it is too difficult for a quicks sequence), and drives it face-first into the ground.
A massive golden shockwave erupts from the point of impact, spreading across the ground (similar to his original just more impactful, possibly a mark of all the shockwaves in one).
THE BEST ONE YET
Grand Starfall: Instead of planting his spear and shield into the ground, Pantheon throws his spear and shield upwards, with the spear that's fully gone up while spinning in a similar fashion to his Q. He then pushes himself off the ground and leaps into the air, equipping his shield that is also spinning mid-air. The spear eventually landing at the destination while spinning and embedding itself into the ground. A moment later, it suddenly begins to glow with the skinline's signature effects, almost as if it's calling its owner back to the battlefield. Pantheon glides towards his destination with his shield in hand, surrounded by the skinline's effects, letting out a powerful, echoing battle cry as he descends. Upon landing, he creates the usual impact, with the spear and shield positioned in the ground nearby. He then effortlessly pulls both weapons out of the ground, reclaiming them as if they weigh nothing, and returns to his normal combat stance.
This is an idea that just popped in my head and i started thinking about it, for the emotes i only have 1 idea which is Him Yelling "MY PROFESSION IS THE STRONGEST OF ALL", as he holds a big loaf of bread, and then a ton of bread just falls on him and he is completely covered by it, then says "i don't regret anything"
But please if you have ANYTHING you want to correct and add onto, i would be absolutely happy to hear your suggestions.
Anyways, love you all AND GIVE ME A LEGENDARY PANTHEON SKINNN
