Victorious Skin

Why wasn't a Champion like Taliyah picked for the new skin.... instead we got Graves. Graves has so many skins... Tali has 2, she was also IMO a more impact-full pick this season than Graves. Can someone explain to me why there is so much love for Graves?

Taliyah has her release skin

Graves was picked because he dominated last year's mid-season

Illaoi, Sol, Kled are also in the same boat

I mean I understand why Illaoi doesn't get much lol there is clearly no love for that Champion... But Sol and Kled both deserve skins, I'm Pretty sure Kled was after Tali, but you 100% have a point with A Sol, although he isn't as popular as Taliyah.

Graves was picked for his high gameplay presence in MSI as that is when they choose who will be the Victorious skin.

Taliyah for one, rose up a bit later in the season and two is that after Elise, Riot stated that won't give a newer champ a Victorious skin again because most people really disliked that Limited availability of said skin.

I understand she is newer than Graves, but is she really that new? She is Over a Year old!

Well yeah she's been out for quite awhile now, but again, champions without a second skin (as she only has her launch skin) aren't going to get one that is limited (since Victorious skins are limited to the season that they are made in)

yeah that makes sense. It's not like the champion ship ones that are on sale once a year you are right.

Yup. Like, Kalista, who I call the Queen of Esports skin as she only has Esports skins (aside from her launch) [plz make one that isn't Rito], are available at various times of the year and can even be gotten through mystery gifts and hextech crafting.

So they can be gotten a fairly good amount whereas Victorious skins are only in Gold+ for that year (there's even some of those I'd even love to have but wasn't able to play ranked at the time)
