Champions you would buy a skin for but...

Do any of you have a champ that you'd like to get a skin for, but just can't seem to find the right skin to buy?

For me it's shyvana. I think she's a fun champ to play and I like that you can build her either for damage or for tank, that option is kind of good to have I think. However for all of her skin options, I just can't seem to find one that's right for me.

I was looking at Shyvana's Ironscale model since it is on sale. I like that she's a redhead in it. I kind of like the silver with gold trim of the armor. But for some reason, I just don't like her armor's design or the dragon's look.

Boneclaw? Right out.

Darkflame? I like the model of her armor, but it's too dark and I don't like the helmet (even if it works well for this model thematically). Her dragon form isn't bad, it's just not to my taste. If they had something with Ironscale's head model and color scheme and darkflame's armor model, that'd be great. It'd still need a new dragon design.

Ice Drake? Well the dragon is cool looking. For her human form I like her gauntlets, boots and helm design. I don't hate the color scheme, but I don't like that her human form is so purple and there's that clipping problem with her right leg. This one is close, but argh.

I know this isnt exactly what you mean but I would buy Braum's skin if he wasnt permabanned =D

I would buy a skin for Syndra but I think her originial skin looks better than the 2 she has right now. Also Im constantly on the verge of buying a skin for Ziggs but I just dont really like his bombs or his e on any of them except his original skin and I really dont know why. I like how he looks in Mad scientist but not a fan of beakers.

IMO Ironscale does it's job well. It looks like it should be her default skin, kinda sad everyone can't enjoy it as such.

For me, Deciding whether to get Blood Night Hecarim Or ROBOT UNICORN ATTACK Hecarim was hard.

I might still buy Blood Knight.

IMO, I dislike all her dragon form skins but ICEDRAKE.

I'd love to get skins for various champs, one I'm even eyeing is Pentakill Karthus. But, the reason I'm not getting it isn't because I don't like it (obviously), its that if I'm going to spend money on the game, I'd like to get all the champions first.

I had the opposite problem and ended up getting all the skins for Shen ^^; In all seriousness though, Darius despite not playing him much. Hearing about the dunkmaster one going to be real just kills the rest of them for me at the moment. I mean Woad King is close to what I would like but the shoulder that is a wolf head just kills it for me.

I actually have this problem with my main, Leona (Yes, i main a support). I'm not sure which one i like. I love defender Leona ingame but i don't like her splash art, and iron solari is cool but at the same time there is pool party Leona which is just awesome but the thing i like about Leona is all of her armor, and being a tank. Pool party Leona kind of ruins that feel. I'm just not sure which one i want the most. :'(

For me it's a couple of the newest champions, namely Vel'Koz and Yasuo.

Their skins are very well done, but just not my style, and there aren't any options, which I think hurts their skin sales too. I mean, I usually try to get one skin for every champion (except Ahri, where I actually went for 2), and I don't want to get the only skin available just for them to come out with something I like more later and have me regret my purchase.

I almost did that with Vladimir, as I love his Blood Lord skin, but then Soul Reaper came out, and I'm torn (because I haven't actually bought Blood Lord yet). Though I think I may still go with Blood Lord due to the extra voicing and such (Soul Reaper really needs new voice lines, that kills it for me).

Personaly I dont have this problem. But Im an expert on Shyvana and I can safely say that Ice Chest > other skins. You wont regret it
