By “decent” skins, I’m referring to skins that do something unique and interesting with the champion. Something like Reaper Soraka transforming League’s premier healer into an incarnation of death, or how Pool Party Sett is a very charming skin, even though Obsidian Dragon is arguably more interesting. Things like that. To me, I feel like Zed is trapped in this situation where no matter what skin you give him, he has to be some flavor of ninja. PROJECT: Zed is a robot ninja, Galaxy Slayer Zed is a space ninja, Shockblade Zed is somehow even MORE ninja than base Zed, etcetera. This makes it feel like no matter what costume you put on him, you’re not really fully exploring that alternative take on the base character’s power fantasy, to use some terminology that Riot might use.
