Why isn't there a new aatrox skin

I'm really surprised that there is no aatrox skin. It's been 2 years since he got a skin in total he has 3 and I'd really like a new skin like blood king aatrox or something that turns aroud blood or war.

Because Riot plays favorites with skins.

They like skins for Ahri, and Teemo, and Nidalee, and Master Yi, and they'll crank those bitches out at a rate of 1+ a year.

But Skarner? Aatrox? Zac? Illaoi? Too bad for you if you like those champions. You might get a new skin every few years, or if the team that wins Worlds can twist Riot's arm enough, but other than that, you're hosed.

And Rioters will tell you that it's because certain champions are easier to design skins for. And they're every one of them lying through their teeth, because you can google "[champion name] skin concepts" for every champion that exists and find ready-made ideas to use for every. Last. One of them.

The truth is, Riot only cares what skins will sell the best. That is ALL they care about, and that will continue to be all they care about.

And if they tell you otherwise? Tell them to stop talking about it and prove it with actions. Which they won't. Because they're lying, so they can't prove it with actions.

The problem is when they make a new skin it will probably be as bad as mecha Rengar....

That's such a good skin though.

Hes getting a VGU. Making a skin right now would be a bad idea. If they are going to release any new skins for him, it would be probably after the VGU.

No. He's getting a GAMEPLAY update.

Granted, it's supposed to be the largest update they've ever done that's not also a visual update, but there is NO visual update involved.
