Ok this is a very specific question, but I don't play league and really have no intention of (as most I've watched arcane and won't go farther than that) but are there any characters or skins the invoke a gundam-esc aesthetic?
Oh yes, quite a few actually.
There's the Mecha skin line for the obvious pick, albeit that is more explicitly based on Pacific Rim than Gundam. It's all about the champions being rendered as giant robots battling Kaiju in a near-modern sci-fi setting:
And then there's the Lancer skin line, which is now discontinued, which drew from Gundam aesthetics among other things, mixing it in with a nominally medieval tech-level setting where the mechs are seen as protector gods or destroyers of the world:
And finally there's Mecha Kingdoms, which sort of tried to combine the two previous skin lines. Like Mecha, it's centered around heroes using giant robots to fight horrible kaiju monsters and protect the world, and like Lancer it's set in a medieval fantasy setting, except this time it's a Wuxia-based world rather than European medieval:

1920s au thus far!
on twitter I asked if people would be more interested in the 1920s (somewhat Speakeasy)AU or the 1940s (Noire)AU
And 1920s took the win! I am going to be working with my partner as they are the creator of this story and I'll be sharing loads more!
Totally hit me up with any questions you have!💛

Fan Sprites of Jayce, Viktor, and Blitzcrank in The Mageseeker. Father-Bot research outing featuring a guy trying to avoid an international incident.
They don’t follow the game’s character sprite translation guide and are a little over-rendered, but it was fun to make!

Thinking of writing a fanfic from Blitzcranks pov over the MH/Defender conflict years because it has a lot of angst potential but also because it'd be so funny like it's a ton of scrap metal put together and it's been alive for 8 hours and IT ALREADY KNOWS YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH YOUR ENEMY HOW ARE YOU FUCKING UP THIS FEELING HIDING STUFF SO BADLY????
This is actually such a great idea!!! Like Blitz is capable of seeing things from an objective POV, and objectively, they’re like… bruh, you are obsessed with this guy, what’s up with that??
Would be really cool to read a story from Blitzcrank’s POV! Writing how they think could be a really fun experiment. Could mess with form and dialogue, sorta like coding commands? And yeah, too much of that could be exhausting, but just every once in a while, throwing in like… a computing sequence? An if/then command?
=IF (Maker hates Jayce, why expend so much time and energy on him?)
=THEN (Maker does not hate Jayce. Maker… still loves Jayce? More information needed.)
But they are also able to read Viktor’s defensiveness on the subject, so mostly they just keep it to themselves, all the while knowing these two emotionally constipated saps are down bad for each other. Poor Blitz.

I know Riot would never do it, but do you feel like there's any champion in League that could benefit being split from their kit? Meaning the kit is perfectly fine, doesn't merit a rework, it just doesn't fit the Champion and their lore the best. If I were to give an example I'd say Morg.
When her Blackthorn skin came out I felt like it was such a perfect match for the kit and made a great case for why the kit deserves to be on a swamp warlock/witch. With its grasping vines and poisonous ground. This would give Morg the chance to get a new kit to better support her lore as a protector of the people and rivalry with Kayle.
I mean, yeah, Morgana is a great example of that kind of thing - her character's whole vibe is resistance against unjust exercise of power, forgiveness and redemption, but her KIT is nothing but chains and pains.
Her abilities are like Q: imprison a person, W: make them walk on flaming coals, E: a shield, and E: imprison even more people.
Of those, only her shield, which protects from crowd control, really works thematically with the idea of her as a liberator or a guardian against undue imprisonment and punishment. If anything, her kit seems like a much more natural fit for Kayle as a character.
Blitzcrank is another character whose kit isn't that great a fit for his character - in his story he's a heroic service-robot who spends his time helping the deprived of Zaun, cleaning up toxic waste and averting disasters. Like, his Q should at LEAST be useable for dragging allies out of danger as well as hooking enemies, but basically none of his kit supports that character fantasy AT ALL, and his ult straight up sucks for what he's supposed to be.
Kennen has the problem that his powers... it's not that they're a BAD fit for his story role, it's more that they're NO fit for it. They don't detract, but they also don't support it at all. He's supposed to be the agent of balance between the Eye of Twilight (Shen) and the Fist of Shadow (formerly Akali), a diplomatic mediator spurring the Eye to action and the Fist to calm, and that's just... NOT at all related to his lightning powers. Like, at ALL. They seem like utterly separate things.
Which is the same problem Skarner has - no real connection between his abilities and his story, although I guess maybe the rework is about to do something about that. Theoretically. If it ever comes out.
