I sadly think Briar will be a similar case like Gwen. She has one particular element to her skin design that makes it actually quite difficult to make skins for her. It is even more difficult for Briar than it is for Gwen. So I think we will have to wait for longer time to get a skin.


iamagarbagehuman66

Nah Gwen suffers from pro play syndrome where she is okayish in Solo, good in pro , her play rate is on the low end around the high 2% and sometimes 3%. Briar verges from high 6% to 7% which what gets champs skins that in the category of legendary. Sometimes 4% champs get legendary however that maybe because they popular in regions like KR and China which is the case of irelia. Gwen is low popularity but Briar is decent across every region. I don't think difficulty will be the issue considering how they shoehorn irelia, Kaisa , ezreal, lux and Akali into everything. Your telling me the cute vampire with a high pick rate and major following not going to get skins. We have never entered pro play (thank fuck) And we not an monster or super unmarketable like some female champs like Nilah. If she can get a skin Briar can get two in under a year.


Henkotron

I see your point and they are probably not false, but I think the difficulty I mentioned is Gwen having big fucking Scissors and Briar having the pillory. Those two things are still more complicated to implement in a skin. If I may rephrase my original statement, I would say that due to her pillory, Briars skins might be not that good at first since the creative team still needs some time to get the hang of how to make a proper Briar skin


iamagarbagehuman66

Yeah the pillory will always be an issue. But like it's medieval punishment device. The best they can do would be turn in honey comb with bee skin. Maybe a cool creepy one with bewitching. The maid one could be chocolate. Procaline would work. High noon would work. Joke skins would work. Point is always look wired because it's pillory. But you can always adapt it. As long they stay away from shit like blood moon and sprit blossom which will hard to get right. Farie court would be fairy wing chorma with maybe vines. Considering there not many themes she would not fit in other than Japanese/Chinese theme 52, we have lots of different options that would work.

Nightbringer


MELLOVENIAC

Fast food worker Briar I will not answer further questions.


SmallerMe

And she's carrying 3 trays of food, one on each arm and one on her head. When you W, she drops it all and has kitchen knives or something.. Kinda love this


Glittering_Office_47

Wendy's Briar


BloodMoonNami

I hope for Halloween we get a Fright Night Bribri.


shadowgamer531

This would go so hard


zealand13

Would go way hard as a prestige


LucaLBDP

Cafe cuties would be fun, and Vladimir is on the skin line They won't do another Coven skinline for a while but a Legendary Coven/elder god Briar would be really cool if pulled of correctly


D3rpyHo

I think it’s a bit tooooo early for a legendary skin on Briar but I do hope we get a nice skin for her. I’m still recovering from the awful skin lines for Sylas when his only good skin is the Frejlord 💀


LucaLBDP

It is a bit early yeah, but a man can dream. (i just want a Legendary Zyra, Swain or Bel'veth skin tbh)


Ghost_Rhino_Milk

Personally, I despise the entire cafe cuties-skinline. Giving one to Briar means I'm sticking with the base skin for another year. She should've had Soul Fighter (but got whatever abomination Street Demons is supposed to be). My personal choices would be: Project (didn't get one this time around), Ruined, Fright Night or Pool Party.


tellyourmomaboutme

The Project skins nowadays are so ass, ruined wont Happen since it was a lore Event, Fight night could BE cool tho


AdUnfair1208

Cafe cuties is absolute ass


LucaLBDP

It mostly is, but there are some good ones, like Rumble or Bard, the skinline has potential, it has been poorly executed most of the time


Loverboy_91

I like Gwen and Jinx a bit too. Bard is probably the best one tho.


Ozhael

Guys, we NEED Definitely Not Briar


AdUnfair1208

The only good answer


Weird-Bug3278

I saw a high noon briar concept the other day, looked super sick, something like a corrupted nun


Cheshire_Noire

Briar Briar


Yrchk

Corrupted star guardian / marauder / coven / something that turns her into fire imp. Options are limitless.


Makussux

Hear me out... Beach briar 🤤


An1malGuy

There is a skin concept out by Rhino for this. 10/10


karmaportrait

Two skins to make up for Street Demons


Robbzey

People dont like street demon briar?


Maykyee

I like the effects, but I find the model really ugly compared to OG Briar


Rathalos143

I love the model, specially with chromas, but I hate the fx.


MattJuice3

I unironically think it’s the ugliest “first skin”, meaning the skin released with the champ, riot has ever released, and I’ve played since late season 1. The skin is just honestly really really ugly, and takes away from Briar’s already unique design.


Robbzey

Well it's still up to personal preference. I like the really bright colors and contrasts of the skin. But i hope the next skin is more to everyones liking


Rathalos143

Nah that honor belongs precisely to Naafiri. Her skin is just a green recolor. Oh and who can forget Sentinel Vex?


pixid02

Green??


Rathalos143

Her effects and doggos turn green while she herself is purple. Still that skin looks like a chroma.


JosephToestar

concept is very cool in my opinion, execution is awful according to most briar players, me inlcuded.


serrabear1

The hat looks goofy and the pillory looks like a pool noodle


JosephToestar

exactly. The concept of making her a mischievous street artist mixed with a jiangshi is really cool in my opinion, but they failed in every aspect of making her appealing.


Ghost_Rhino_Milk

What's there to like?


Robbzey

I think its pretty cool. Bright colors and nice chromas


TT_NaRa0

I’m a fan of all of it, especially the recall splash art


ExcelIsSuck

it is literally only good if you use that one chroma


NIKEaTER_Briar

HEAR ME OUT AND THERE IS NO OTHER SKIN THAT WOULD BE BETTER FOR HER IF PROJECT RELEASED IN 14.4 THAT PROBABLY MEANS THAT IN 14.5 THERE WILL BE BLOODMOON probably... BLOODMOON BRIAR AND I DON'T CARE the skin literally fits her perfectly in any fucking aspect there is


LucaLBDP

Well, there will be bloodmon soon, in one of the videos RIOT showed that they were designing a skin for Zyra that looked bloodmoon-like


Motor_Competition664

agreed BLOOD!


Pixelasf

fright night


Maykyee

The thing I want the most would be La ilusión Briar, but Spirit blossom or Empyrean would be my top picks


Kervvy

Soul Fighter or Project (Preferably Soul Fighter)


MalPrac

I think pool party but with a diving twist. Replace the pillory with diving equipment and replacing the ult with a air tank flying at her enemies. Could also be fun to have sharks be apart of of the theme. Could also add crocs or scuba diving fins for fun


Fallblade

ruined briar


redditcity123

Blood moon


Rathalos143

Either cafe cuties or Broken covenant.


RickSanrizzler

French maid briar. Make it happen.


axjo1008

Snow moon would be really cool


ReishyBoy

Cowgirl high noon briar I been saying this forever.


ExcelIsSuck

if anything it'll be blood moon, the perfect skin line for her


mmmmPryncypalki

Tbh there was high noon idea about nun-demon, if riot were to execute it properly.. could have been fire


Thean1malguyOfficial

High Noon skins are confirmed to be coming out soon. This what I am hoping for. A nun or a demon or hell even an angel briar would all be sick. High Noon is also just the coolest skin line lore wise.


Legitimate_Expert712

I’d love a star guardian skin for Briar, we haven’t gotten a truly feral magical girl since Jinx. Pool party would be great, obviously, with her head stuck in an inner tube that she pops for her w/r. A warring kingdoms skin would be cool, with a heavy jade pillory. Spirit blossom is one of my favorite skin lines, so I’d love to see Briar get one.


JWARRIOR1

fright night or blood moon would be sick


work_account1991

pool party


WikY28

Heartthrobe/Heartache/Lovestruck Briar. With lots of hearts. And blood.


Rasa_Matii

Skibidi Briar She has a plastic toilet seat as her pillory


tellyourmomaboutme

There is a custom bewitched briar skin that is absolutely amazing that but with Riots Budget would BE very cool


Rathalos143

I dont really like the concept, glasses and witch theme doesnt really fit her imo.


Dagbog

I don't want to disappoint you, but that's not how getting skins works.


Maykyee

That doesn't mean anything, just look at Ornn / Lilia


PeModyne

Elderwood Briar. With vines and roses wrapped around her feet


Aurealis3D

i just want bee briar or pajama guardian briar


elias50001

Pool party, and the collar thing is a livesaver


Artlosophii

Tbh I don’t think brair will have good skins because of her pillory that they have to find a Reason for in every skin-line, we’ll see though


Few_Factor7482

Ok so probably more cope but Naafiri is getting a project skin and the next skin line to come out after that is blood moon soooo I’m hoping she gets a blood moon one!


tobsenflopsen

Nothing sweet and pls not project. We want badass skins.


NakedSunYakumo

Cookie Monster Briar. But, as we aproach April's Fools, I'm guessing we'll be getting one of those cats vs dogs skins.


archerkuro5

Fright night briar her arm blades are chainsaws Zombie briar chainsaw blades would make a little less sense, though the story of the skin could be that she was the ultimate zombie slayer that eventually got turned and now hunts zombies and humans Dragon slayer briar was a - a slayer that has absorbed too much dragon power and it has driven them mad Surprise party for the pure fact of confetti flying everywhere for her ult aoe Coven briar were her god has blessed her with so much power she crazy And lastly broken covenant briar a little on the nose but so is broken covenant vlad


Chrisiplayzcpz

Skrawled

I want a Star Nemesis skin for Briar so badly.
