To whichever Rioter this may be relevant to. Why can't TRADITONAL SKINS be available to all?

Ala Unleashed Alistar and Riot Girl Tristana?

Those skins were given out completely free, which means you guys never intended to profit off those skins in the first place, giving it away for free would do no harm to your profit margins.

Worst of all, the 3 champions that comes to mind when it comes to Traditional skins, Sejuani, Trundle, and Karma, REALLY need those skins.

Trundle and Karma literally have their Traditional skins being their best skins to choose from. And for Sejuani...I just plain don't like her VU along with her uncharacteristic armour.

Why can't Traditional skins be available for people who buy those champions? I mean, the time they were available were so unbelievably narrow, and worse, had a LOT of people never had the chance to even get them. Sejuani was 6300IP and literally unplayable at the time of her rework. Trundle and Karma were uncertain, and while not as expensive as Sejuani was, still cost a considerable amount of IP that not everyone can rush fast enough to afford.

What is there to lose if someone wants to play Sejuani in her Traditional skin? What is there to lose if Trundle has a skin available that's better than any of his crappy current skins?

Do you think you might "confuse" newbies? Because newbies will be newbies. And I'm sure you threw out the notion of "confusing new players" out the window when you gave Zed a skin that is essentially "White Shen".

I think you to learn the porpoes in the Ali,Trist and Garen (yes you can get Garens and a skin free too)free skins. This is to get people to join information feeds. They are not really "free".

Now about the traditional skins. You say the 3 that comes to mind.... well they are the only 3 with traditional skins. So i doubt that your can think of others.

Traditional skins are for people that owned the champs before a major visual change. A way to appease people that like the style of the first version of the champ. If you owned the champs before the rework came out you got the skin.

Also Riot put the traditional skins on sale also. They will make a come back so if you really want them you can pick them up at some point.

Please stop asking for free stuff.

You guys need to get over this exclusivity complex. Some things in life you have to work for. If I collect coca-cola bottles, and I bought one that came out in 1906, Coke is under 0 obligation to make you a special bottle just like that one just so you can feel special. Yeah they could probably make a replica at almost 0 cost to them relative to their profit margins, but why? You're not entitled to anything.
