Titan niches are all filled.  Now we just need each titan remade with new skins, icons, themes, and maybe one or two subtle differences. (IMO).

Themes? You mean like a certain special aspect they revolve around?

Like Regen
      DoT
      HoT
      Defense
      Attack
      Attackspeed
      Immolation
      Ethereal
      Nuke
      Movement
      Summons/Micro?
      Minions

(I split the thread because this is a different topic now.)

>Themes? You mean like a certain special aspect they revolve around?
Well, yes and no.  Every titan should have a bit of them mixed up.  Like maybe one Titan has higher regen and lower base health, or more defense at the expense of slower movespeed.  In the profession of engineering these are called trade offs, because you making a change hoping that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.  Every titan should have a bit of a unique trade off involved in them.  A more practical example of a reasonable trade off that would be good in a suggestion would be something like a very fast titan in movespeed and attack speed, but low defense.

When I said themes, I meant the theme of the titan.  Molt is fire, Grant is earth, Glac is ice, et cetera.  We need Titans based on others with a few trade offs and new themes, and that's a decent Titan.  Not every Titan should be a whole new entire game changing concept.

no, there are plenty of unexplored possibilities to work from on titans, its just that

1) no one wants to come up with those ideas
2) most ideas people do come up with, get rejected because they are different
2) even if everyone likes the idea, no editor would put it in since they are lazy and no version has been released in months from anyone
3) ID is dying, no second wind is going to come unless someone seriously works hard to make a better ID and changes it

This is very true, i have seen many good suggestions since I've started posting. Life and death are very obvious themes, they fit in very well with island defense.

Another suggestion was made about the titan of the mist. I found this to be particularly interesting. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles people seem to be demanding these days, but then again, neither do any of the other titans currently in the game. It's a sound suggestion (not to mention fitting the island defense theme like a glove), but somehow, it got overlooked.

The MuDDy_PaNDa is a new animal. He has been created by the breeding of a panda and a makrura together. Their breeding had created a strange animal covered in mud.
