Can Riot stop blatantly ignoring champions for skins

At least be discreet about it and try to trick us. You need to rub it in our face, champions that haven't gotten a new skin for over 2+ years and Lucian and Garen are all of a sudden NEXT IN LINE AhahahahaAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAHAH

it isn't just always based on popularity

Yes that does make a factor in the process. They will often choose champions that are popular to give skins to because they will sell...which funds this entirely free to play game, as well as pays the people who work on it

or would you rather this go from ftp to ptp? cause I don't, that's what would happen.

skins can also be linked to set times of the year or holidays

we're not gonna get Christmas skins late june/early july...that makes 0 sense

People like you make skins worst. Since that is how champions like ivern get shit skins.

Like wait for them to have a idea and make the skin. It takes time asking for unpopular champions to get skins is just dumb.

Also I can bet you don't even play any of the champions that get no skins.

God dammit, Shinji is whining again.

Joking though, it's nothing new that popular champs get skins, while those that are not played as much and are not featured on most promotional materials will wait a long-ass time.

Tis all 'bout da money

Is it surprising that Riot's gravitating towards the cash cow champions? I don't expect a skin for champs like Ornn for a long while. And when it does come out it'll probably be half assed and unfinished.

PS: Nice summoner name

When the choices that are presented are between them coming up with a cool new concept for skins and then picking champions that best match and present that concept with design that came to them and they are eager to realize OR taking a champion and placing the next skin group on top of them because it's been whatever X days since the last one...

I'm going to choose the first one every single time.

The concept, the design and the champs chosen for Vice skins are perfect. They will sell well, are cool and corny at the same time. I cannot see a Skarner or Xerath fitting there at all. I can understand why the champs chosen for those skins and I hope these skins sell far more than any of the Arcade ones, where it seems the opposite was the case, all 3 just seem like cash grabs (understandable, it is a business after all). A Boss Xerath or Skarner would have been great there.
