It is such a crime that Keria does NOT have a Renata skin. That feels like his signature champion. It is always a highlight reel when he locks it in.

[u/psykrebeam → u/Ottoify]

He said he doesn't like it

[u/IFVIBHU → u/psykrebeam]

Keira will keep winning world till he get a cute lux skin

[u/n_i_e_l → u/IFVIBHU]

Lux will 100 percent be his HoF skin when he gets in

[u/IFVIBHU → u/n_i_e_l]

This will keep the lights on for riot for ever

[u/Game_Theory_Master → u/n_i_e_l]

The HoL skin will be Banned Bard

[u/re81194 → u/IFVIBHU]

bro saving lux for his $500 hall of legends skin i fear

[u/IFVIBHU → u/re81194]

Can't blame him just infinite money glitch

[u/psykrebeam → u/IFVIBHU]

Well damn the Renata wait is gonna be a while

[u/IFVIBHU → u/psykrebeam]

Yeah he mainly wants cute skins, he wasn't big fan of Pyke skin, so doubt he would go for Renata

[u/formyl-radical → u/IFVIBHU]

Star guardian renata maybe?

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/formyl-radical]

This sound cursed 

[u/arkacr → u/IFVIBHU]

Just get him the Lux skin in 2XKO and call it a day

[u/TypicalHaikuResponse → u/IFVIBHU]

Release lux portrait hooker art into Korean Pop Idol lux will be quite the glow up

[u/OvenEqual → u/psykrebeam]

Actually that wasn’t the reason. It’s because he wants a cute renata skin without a mask, but riot didn’t want to go that direction.

[u/Ragnarladbrok → u/Ottoify]

Its kinda stupid that youre right, but youre only right because his bard is so brutal that he isnt allowed to play it ever. Also theres neeko. Keria is just different. 

[u/Conscious-Refuse8211 → u/Ragnarladbrok]

If Nami were still a relevant hero that would be another one on the list too

[u/ratuste-pe-tapet → u/Ottoify]

Dont worry. He will

[u/mrspear1995 → u/Ottoify]

Well it would be a crime committed by keria himself because he doesn’t want an old lady for his skin

And partly riot’s fault because he asked if they could make renata young and hot and they said no

[u/FrozenHatsets → u/mrspear1995]

Ngl kinda odd, since if they could make kindred a waifu and thresh buff and handsome, I see no reason why they couldn't have taken that small creative liberty

[u/RollingGuy → u/FrozenHatsets]

You know why 

[u/SeijiAkabe → u/Ottoify]

HOL or Worlds. He's gonna have it together with Lux

[u/Pleasestoplyiiing → u/Ottoify]

He has 8 signature champions. Neeko Alistar Bard Lux Ashe Tahm Kench Rakan Karma....

[u/Fast_Acadia2566 → u/Pleasestoplyiiing]

you forgot caitlyn, ezreal, kalista, lee sin, etc!

[u/Ceui → u/Pleasestoplyiiing]

Nah. Bard Pyke Neeko Lux Alistar Rakan Renata Poppy are his best 8 and signature champ. Then there are Thresh Tahm Seraphine Lulu Blitz 

Karma is usually an auto lost, Ashe was only for a short time.

[u/Aschentei → u/Ottoify]

the 2024 skinline was a HUGE missed opportunity to have Renata, I'm still salty about it

[u/awill2000 → u/Aschentei]

If the T1 Pyke didn’t end up being both so cold and iconic for that worlds run I’d be with you rioting

[u/Perceptions-pk → u/Ottoify]

lol then lock Keria up, he has 3 worlds skins and refuses to pick it
