It really makes you feel like they actually care about what we think, and respond to our suggestions. Like they actually go on the boards and listen and care about what we think. Pool part zac, zac chromas, legitimate ekko nerfs, ekko ult is getting a mana cost, they are completely fixing perma snare ryze at least before level 16, been a lot of talk of aatrox getting meaningfull buffs, with aatrox already seeing actual improvement starting with patch 5.11

GREAT JOB GUYS, LOVE IT!

I find the pool party skins to be disappointing this year. Wish they would give the pool party skins to more popular champions (mundo and zac? REALLY?)

First, they give every skin based entirely on if it looks cool, not how popular a champion is. The exception to this are the Victorious and Championship skinlines and the Challenger skinline (assuming they continue it).

Second, this will be Zac's first non release skin in 2.25 years. This will be Dr. Mundo's first skin in over 2 years (and if you don't count TPA, in almost 3 years). Complaining "OH NO THESE CHAMPIONS WITH NO RECENT SKINS OR NO EXTRA SKINS GOT ONE" is a pretty dick move to anyone who likes playing those champions.

I can't get over Lulu and Rek'Sai, they are awesome.

Also, PP Zac and Chroma's? Zac's fans are going to be orgasming for the next month.

Yes. Why are they listening to bronze players who think ekko is op. And why would you make a skin for a useless boring unpopular champion with a 2.88% play rate. I'm still waiting for Riven buffs and a new item that builds out of brutalizer. Also, "Riven is so op, just look at her 54% win rate!" (although she was useless in the tank meta) but when ekko has 47% win rate, people say "lol win rate doesnt matter idiot, hes op"

Gj riot keep listening to your community!!

The skins are cool, but the balance changes aren't swaying me. They're nerfs. Riot has always been quick enough on nerfs. Leaving things in terribly weak or unsatisfying states forever is the problem they need to fix, and they haven't made nearly enough improvement there.
