I belive rito should add some way or a game mode to test a skin at least once before buying it, i usually take my time before buying a skin going to youtube and watch the skin, all of that and i still regret buying some of my skins, they feel underwhelming in a game despite they looked great on video, what i suggest is simple i just want an option to try it let say alone against a bot in sr,i dont think this is so much to ask. so what do u think do u feel thae same or have another way we can rest the skin before buying them?

I also have an alternative way to look at this.

You take for example a 975 RP skin, pay say 150 RP you get the skin for a single game, meaning a single game of playing that champion with that skin selected, so as not to waste it if you don't get the role or champions for whatever reason going into a game.

After that game, you're prompted with the opportunity to immediately buy the skin for 825 RP, the 150 is removed from the total purchase price, however if you opt to not do so, Riot still gets your 150 RP, and the purchase price of the skin is then returned to the original 975 RP in the event that you want to purchase it in the future. The option to test run the skin is also returned so that if there's perhaps a visual update in the future, you get to see what it looks like and maybe buy it again under the same formula.

Riot now gets actual money out of this process, which is the whole point of the skins existing in the first place, and you get to test out a skin for a minimal cost rather than buying it and taking the gamble on not enjoying the skin.
