In general, picking champions for a big skin line requires us to synthesize a lot of different factors: Which champions best fit the theme? Which champs make sense together? What champions currently need skins? And for the music skin lines, their individual personalities really has to make sense with the type of music and role we give them in their group.

We knew that we wanted to do something that felt a little more edgy than K/DA and that was also hip-hop inspired. Additionally, we wanted to create a diverse and eclectic line-up who could believably join forces to create a genre-blending song. Based on that premise, Ekko as a time-manipulating rhyme genius seemed like a really cool idea to explore as the group’s centerpiece. We also knew we wanted to connect this group to K/DA through Akali, who’s the brain behind this collaboration, to expand on our music fantasy world. Qiyana just has the perfect I’m-the-queen attitude that we were looking for, and Yasuo is the silent producer “cutting-up” the beats. Add in the timing of Senna’s release, who’s one of our most requested champions, and you have a perfectly lined up roster that fulfilled our original goals. We hope you liked our choices!
