based off of this skin, i thought what would be so much better is a steel legion pantheon. His E unleashes a cone shaped cloud of lightning bolts, Q is a lightning bolt, R is a massive lightning strike as he lands. and to make it ultimate the color of his lightning changes from like blue to red at max rank and ****. id buy that skin instantly
I think Rumble deserves it because he hasn't gotten any skins other than his release skins.
Dragon master swain
MobiIe Ward
I want to see a Legend of Dragoon JarvanIV. Complete with Fairy Wings at lvl 16.
Paragon Fury
Quinn. I would call it "Optimus Quinn and Valor Prime". The design would be like Full Metal Rammus. She would have different animations and VAs (more robot-y) and when Quinn used her Ult instead of trading places with Valor she would transform into him. I take cash, credit, debit and checks.
ultimate dunkmaster all-star Yi. or pulsefire Yi. i just want an awesome Yi skin besides chosen...
A Zyra skin would be cool, I won't buy it though I already have the Wildfire skin. (limiting myself to 1 skin/champion)
Nasus. Mad God Nasus Envisions Nasus as the scholarly warrior he is, except in a future scenario where he accidentally delved too deep into his studies and lost his sanity to ancient, cryptic knowledge. In his insanity, this knowledge has caused him to become a malefic monstrosity of his former self that grows in horror the stronger he gets. -Evolving model based upon his Q stacks and level. -Significantly upgraded and articulate model. -Darkness, evil, and insanity based spell particles -Unique champion interactions -New VO reflecting his horrific theme -Summoner's Rift quest if he ever reaches 500 or more stacks on Q. ('Death to the Mad God.' If Nasus is killed during the quest, the enemy team will get 25 extra gold for each of them that got an assist, and kill gold is increased by 50% for that one kill. If Nasus's team aces the enemy team during this quest when he participated in at least 3 kills, he gains 5 free stacks on Q and his model evolves slightly to reflect on his victory with the quest)
Thor Pantheon ...erm, I mean "Thunder God Pantheon". Hurl Lightning bolts, Create a thunderstorn during an ult and boom down in a crack of lightning, Lightning whip E- That'd be fun.
Ultimate Shaco skin, because he is the best champion.

In October 1994, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) launched Operation Gatekeeper to crack down on people entering the country through San Diego, California. Militarizing the border with more border patrol agents and resources has forced immigrants to cross through the Imperial Desert or over the mountains north of Tecate. Global Exchange states that the number of immigrant deaths has increased over 600 percent since 1994. Several thousands have died along the U.S./Mexico border since Operation Gatekeeper began. Mexicans have drowned in canals and rivers and have died of dehydration, hypothermia and heat stress in the desert. Some have been shot by ranchers in Arizona and Texas. In the year 2000 alone, 369 immigrants perished trying to cross the border - almost half from exposure to heat or cold. Because of increasing amounts of border patrol officers and equipment, many undocumented workers are staying longer in the U.S., unable to return to see their families for long periods of time and swelling the immigrant population.
In July 2001, Mexican President Vicente Fox asked President Bush to consider granting legal status to about three million undocumented Mexicans. U.S. Congressman Luis Gutierrez backed a bill that would legalize immigrants who could prove U.S. residence since 1996. Others in Congress, business and labor pushed for a guest worker program, wherein Mexican workers could freely come and go across the border but would not be allowed to stay in the U.S. permanently. After September 11, 2001, U.S. officials told the Mexican government that because of terrorism fears, the immigration laws were unlikely to change anytime soon. At the same time, there has been a big drop in Mexican immigration to the United States since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Even before September 11, border crossing had been down, undoubtedly due to the slowing economy and rising unemployment rate. Apprehensions of illegal immigrants in California's two border patrol districts dropped an average of 57 percent compared to October of 2000. Legal immigration has also fallen 29 percent compared to the previous year, according to journalists at the University of Berkeley.

Electronics Report Blue LED Displays
Kingbright has developed a Dual Blue SMD LED display that is said to offer additional flexibility in sizes and color, higher reliability, improved efficiency, and significant cost reduction to the production phase.
The Dual Blue SMD LED display from Kingbright Corporation (City of Industry, CA, U.S.) is said to offer a complete solution to designers requiring brilliant and crisp displaying features with high maneuverability.
In addition to their dual nature, the surface-mount device (SMD) displays are available in alphanumeric and single-digit APSA series with blue color selection. Man Yu, Kingbright engineering manager, says that the goal when designing the new devices was to revitalize the LED display arena with enhanced maneuverability and reliability for product designers that deal with super-thin membrane switch applications widely used in the appliance industry. The new LED displays can be used in control panel backlighting and push button switches of refrigerators, dishwashers, consumer electronics, small electric appliances, medical, and commercial appliances. They are currently being used in dryers offered by a well-known U.S. appliance brand. The displays are lightweight and feature a character height of 0.4 in and thickness of only 0.148 in, making them ideal for thin control panel designs. According to Mr. Yu, Kingbright engineers were able to keep weight low by utilizing lightweight epoxies and materials to build the reflectors and PCBs. The display's compact form factor did, however, present some challenges. "A design challenge in creating these LED displays includes the wire and die-bonding of 14 to16 LED dice within a small area," Mr. Yu explains. "Our R&D team designed a proprietary method to bond the reflector and PCB tightly together to eliminate any potential light-bleeding effects." The displays also reportedly offer extended life up to 100k/hr and an energy consumption rate that meets or exceeds Energy Star standards. "The LED displays are more reliable and efficient in that they operate at low voltage and low current for higher energy efficiency," explains Mr. Yu "The display's low heat dissipation feature also drastically improves the overall reliability of the electric circuit." A solid piece of protective epoxy covers the LED chips, making them resistant to harsh assembly environments and more reliable than traditional displays. In addition, the devices are packaged in an anti-static carrier tape that is said to be automation-friendly to most pick-and-place machines, which helps reduce the assembly time and manual labor involved in the production process. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to 85°C.
