Forgotten Champs ( Taliyah / Ornn )

In the last few days Riot is releasing a few new champs and a LOT of new gorgeous skins. I was scrolling down the videos in the SkinSpotlight channel and still there are no new skins for those two champs. ( As a Tali main I was rly hoping for a new one) And I get it that skins are releasing for popular champs like Yasou and Akali because they bring a lot of money, but Tali was released 2016 and has 2 skins ( one of them is a TEAM skin) and Ornn was released 2017 and has 1 skin and its kinda ridiculous.. even IVERN got a new skin.. My point is that those champs have fan bases too and they need some love.

If I missed other champs write them in the comments :/

You'd think with this new Mecha skin line Ornn would fit in perfectly.

Instead we got... Draven?

As an Akali main who's second favourite champion is Taliyah, I desperately want them to put less of a focus on releasing new Akali skins and release a skin for Taliyah already. And I don't want just any lazy skin where they just try to force a champion into a skinline like they did to Ivern, give me a proper skin.

There was a recent "leak" which is likely fake, but even so I thought I'd mention it here. This leak says that Taliyah will get a Heartseeker skin. While I don't necessarily dislike that skinline, it feels like forcing a less popular champion into a less popular skinline simply because they're less popular. Taliyah has so much potential for skins but since she has such a low playrate she doesn't get that potential realized. Pool Party, Star Guardian, I think she'd fit these skinlines perfectly but because of her playrate she won't get a chance. I feel pretty strongly that Riot has just left Taliyah and those who enjoy playing her to rot, and I'm not even a Taliyah main. It's really a shame.

Trundle is the real forgotten champ.

In terms of gameplay balance.

ornn is pretty popular right now because of how broken he is

not because he is fun to play LMAO

The worst part is that after waiting for years, they will finally release a skin for them, and it's gonna be a terrible skin like Ivern's, and you'll be told "but she just received a skin!" and won't get another one in 5 more years. That's what worries me about Taliyah.

Sometimes it feels like Riot are just being stubborn about it all, they could easily make a nice 975 skin for these champs but they just don't.

I personally would like another Cassiopeia skin as her last one was released like 2 years ago but I can wait ;-;

Ornn will probably get something to coincide with Volibear's rework. Taliyah just got a skin a year and a half ago (which sounds long but isn't really that long in the grand scheme of things)

I'd love to see more skins for everyone personally, but I don't think champions are going unloved. Love is not an instant gratification.
