That's wacky.

Magnificent Twisted Fate
Card Shotgun: Fires three white doves from his sleeves.
Gate/Destiny: When he first ults, his laugh plays loudly across the entire map. Additionally, Twisted Fate disappears and reappears in a growing cloud of smoke and sparkling effects, keeping the duration and effect as visible as they are now.
Death: When killed, Twisted Fate's torso slides off his legs and falls to the ground, as if sawed in half as part of the old magician stage trick.

Annie in Wonderland
All abilities: Make the fire appear as puffs of green smoke, maybe with flower-burst effects.
Molten Shield: Several rings of flowers or daisy-chains that surround Annie.
Summon Mr. Tibbers: Appears in a burst of flowers and green smoke, and has flowers/smoke particle effects rather than flame effects.

Firefighter Tristana
Auto-attack effects: Remove the cannonball, making it purely a ball of water. Change the on-hit sound to a splash.
Cannon Barrage: When active, a siren appears over Tristana, and a siren sound plays.
Rocket Jump: Add a splash of water when Tristana lands.
Explosive Shot: Change it to a loud splash noise, complete with splashing water visual when a target dies. The debuff symbol should remain the same, although maybe color it blue.
Buster Shot: Make it just a giant jet of water, with a huge splash sound.
Death: Tristana bursts into flame and the current death animation plays with her on fire.

Red Baron Corki
New Voice: Give it a stereotypical German accent.
Phosphorous Bomb: Change it to a bomb-shaped projectile that explodes in shrapnel
Valkyrie: Replace the fire with thick black smoke from the engine.
Death: Plane lifts off and spirals into the ground as a wreck, possibly with the line "The Red Baron has fallen!"

Other thoughts? Likes, dislikes?
This.

Dat logic.
Or make people more comfortable buying skins in general, because they know it's hopeful they'll get touched up eventually if they ever fall too far behind the 'power level' of other skins.

It's this kind of 'logic' that sinks business... (In other words, logic based on false pretenses and invalid assumptions.)

Seems like you guys have a lot of things in the works, I'm sure things will release when they are ready. I mean you love Leona and she doesn't even have her own Legendary skin yet. That must be painful.

obvious.
It's apparent you don't really know how a business works. Even though it's a little silly to look at life through this "all companies will do ANYTHING to steal my money" lens, you would still do well to learn a bit about business.

Riot Games is primarily comprised of design and game developers. People who actually help CREATE the game. And these guys don't do ANYTHING just to turn a profit. True, a profit means people like their game so they love seeing great numbers. And let's not forget a lot of these guys are shareholders and I HOPE Morello gets stinkin rich off of the amazing job he's done on this game. But you seem to think everyone down to the janitor is out to grab your money. it's not true. In fact, in most big companies, developers are constantly fighting with the finance people to preserve the quality of the game vs the need to release it. Riot seems to have an amazing amount of control over this process which is strong evidene that Tencent is just funding them and taking profit and not messing with success. Bravo there.

Now, every business DOES have the finance "bottom line" people. Their job is to make sure the engine remains profitable. And the REST of the company comes down on them if they feel their practices aren't in the best interest of the game. Same with marketing, whose job is to make sure people are aware of features and that they're tauted in the best light possible. If any one of these non-game departments gets too greedy, the people who love and care about League of Legends will come down on them.

So the truth is that companies need profit but rarely do game companies (especially this one) make specific plays at your wallet without regards to your happiness. Businesses aren't evil. Sure, WALMART and some other giant corporations have done some pretty sinister stuff to keep money in their pockets, but most businesses are only out for your money if you like their product. Riot goes through great lengths to give us quality game time and is as transparent as they can be as often as they can be. This is truly a model company when it comes to communication.
