Falls Guys fan creates the League of Legends crossover we all need
Pack your bags for Summoner's Rift as one Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout fan has conjured up the League of Legends (LoL) crossover we never knew we needed. As Riot Games gears up for the start of the supersized LoL Worlds, the hype is at fever-pitch.
While LoL has long sat at the top of the esports world in terms of popularity, it was recently dethroned by Mediatonic's plucky little title. Despite being out just a matter of weeks, Fall Guys has become an overnight success that shows no signs of slowing down. With this, fans are obviously asking what skins could come next.
Posting on Twitter @vmatbox showed off three skins inspired by three different Champions. Starting with arguably the most adorable is the fan-favourite pairing of Nunu and Willump. Although there's something a little Star Wars where it looks like Nunu has skinned Willump and then worn him like a sleeping bag, it's clear this is the Yeti Rider in all his glory.
Elsewhere, the ever-popular Gnar has clawed his way into proceedings. Clearly homaging the pint-sized Yordle, Gnar is here in his toddler form rather than full beast mode. You can just imagine Gnar going berserker if he doesn't manage to nab the crown. Finally, Veigar is casting his spell on us all with his signature hat and robe. The Tiny Master of Evil doesn't look quite as intimidating here, but don't let that fool you. We love a good villain (even in Fall Guys), so Veigar would be a welcome addition.

There's been a whole host of fan crossovers, with gamers suggesting everything from Parks and Recreation's Ron Swanson to Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid. This isn't the only LoL suggestion though. The Fall Guys Twitter shared someone else's artwork of Teemo.
The fan skins come after Mediatonic launched its own charity incentive where brands can bid to have their own skin in the game. Everyone from G2 Esports to Tyler "Ninja" Blevins has offered hundreds of thousands of dollars to be immortalised in Fall Guys, and at the time of writing, the (bizarre) frontrunner is Tushy Bidet with $420,069.69. So far, we've already seen Half-Life's Gordon Freeman, Scout from Team Fortress 2, and an Enter the Gungeon crossover appear in Fall Guys, proving this is just the start of an expanding wardrobe.
The question is, when will Mediatonic and Riot finally cave to the pressure and give us the Fall Guys - League of Legends crossover we all know we deserve?
