Design Your Own Ranger!

It is finally here! I have been waiting for a contest like this for such a long time. Truth be told, I have more than once tried to see if I could conduct my own design-a-ranger contest on my blog, but because of the international audience and various currencies/Google Play/App store country restrictions, I couldn't figure out the logistics of how to actually give out the prize, which I wanted to be rubies. :( But LINE is doing their own official contest so now here is everyone's chance to get their creative juices going. I'm really pleased that they opened this contest to all regions. We have a week and a half to enter!

I'll be the first to admit that I am horrible at drawing but I think I might try to think of a nice ranger to add to our collection. Everyone's always saying one thing or another about the new rangers that appear in the game. I think this is a really good chance for us, the players, to show them how it's done. What do WE want in a ranger? I'm not sure if we are allowed to use Brown, Cony, James, Jessica, Leonard, Boss and Moon but I assume that it is allowed. Did you want Salaryman Moon to be a ranger? Or Santa Claus Brown? Lumberjack Boss? Flight Attendant Jessica and Cony? Get to work! (Update: I sent them a question asking if we are allowed to design a new LINE friend ranger. The answer pretty much said to create your OWN rangers, which I read to mean do not piggy-back off LINE Friends and make a new Moon or Brown, etc.)

I encourage everyone who's ever had beef with the game's palette of rangers to rise to this challenge! Show everyone what you come up with. I'm pretty sure a 4-year old child could come up with something better than the ranger known as "Summer" lol. I would love to hear and see it if you want to share your creations. If you guys come up with drawings, please post them on imgur.com and show us a link! The prize is not just glory, it's cold hard rubies and figurines! (See Notice for details)

I *hope* that the winning design of the competition will be available to ALL players via some event or as a permanent bonus roll in the stages (so it will be a "free" ranger). I don't want the winning ranger to be the new limited edition or new Premium Gacha addition to the roster. No, the winning ranger should be ours!  I think it is only right because it is a ranger inspired by the players, made for the players, voted by the players.

Finally, the somewhat disappointing thing about the contest is that it appears to be more of a "touch-and-feel" design contest rather than a mechanics contest. What I mean is, the contest is being judged based upon the appearance of the ranger and its story. We are not given the option to suggest what powers we want our creation to possess, i.e. type of ranger, attack speed, range, move speed. I don't know if they will take it into consideration if we do submit our designs with those characteristics included. But I think if we want a balanced ranger that is worth having, it should be well-made and not just the same old crazy overpowered trend that LINE gives us every month.

So anyway, get to work! :D December 7 is the deadline!
