Guess Thresh gets another skin...

I am sick of the blatent favouritism of Thresh, Rakan and Pyke. Enchanter supports got shafted meanwhile these 3 with their overloaded kits get to roam around freely and then get more skins then other support champions. I didn't think this game was called "League of Popularity."

A new Zilean or Soraka skin would be nice, once this century.

soraka was a huge point of favoritism before those 3 champions came out btw, putting her next to zilean is ironic.

soraka is the number 1 most played champion, you can actually relax imo on that one. she's been loved every moment until the recent ardent patch. and she's still okay tbh. I have like 4 soraka skins, and I don't even play her. Doesn't Pyke have like 1 skin and 1 chroma?

enchanter supporters can also evolve into full mages and 1v9 carry. Rakan, Thresh and Pyke can evolve into bruisers, but it's not the same power. One reason people like Soraka and Zilean seem weak, is because they are spammed in support playstyles, even when they have opportunities they can carry. Their kits are designed to be balanced around carrying sometimes, so if you just build full support totems every game, even when you're 3/0, maybe you should have gone full AP instead. I have pentakills on both soraka and zilean, neither of them are that impressive simply because I built correctly for the situation and 1 shot the entire enemy team. I see this problem with morgana a lot too, where she will build support in games where she could have just 1v9 with damage.

more or less, enchanter supports have an entire second tier of skill plateu that is rarely utilized by actual enchanter support otps, people in pro play aren't trolling when they pick Lulu mid, she legitimately can get a pentakill damage-wise. enchanter supports that aren't looking at their damage stats are boosted. The first 10~ games of lulu support I played(first time) I was able to hardcarry like an adc, and solo kill both laners repeatedly. That's how Soraka, Zilean and Morgana otps should be feeling.

It isn't always that easy to come up with a new skin for "the next champion in line"

Riot has been doing a good job recently of releasing skin themes with multiple champions within the same patch.

As an example, as much of a meme as Star Guardian Urgot is, it doesn't make much sense.

I'd love to see it, and I'm confident that Riot will probably do it one day, but it is really just a joke and I don't think that is the main driving factor for sales that they are wanting right now.

Skins come out to make money. So popular champions get more. And like Taliyah only has her release skin and a team skin and she was popular for much of her life.
