I have been waiting for a new Yorick skin since 2011 and Master Yi gets another skin after 5 months?

Master Yi got his Cosmic Blade skin on April 27th, 2017 and then gets a brand new skin not even 5 full months later? Riot, this is ridiculous. You have 138 champions. You literally cater 50% of your patches to switch up professional play, why are you now putting out skins in the most dick-ish ways? All of the quality skins that have been released since the release of Ivern have been geared towards champions that are highly one tricked and have a lot of dedicated players of that champion while the champion is super strong in the meta. Star Guardians Lulu and Janna skins came out just as shielding supports were beginning to dominate the meta again, while Poppy and Jinx were super strong picks in both their respective roles. Then the Worldbreaker skins came out to my excitement and I bought Hecarim and returned it after 2 games played because it was the ugliest skin I had ever seen and I played before the Yorick rework. Oh look, here comes the assassin update and Jhin being the number one bot laner, let's do really nice skins for 3 champs that got buffed off the season 7 changes and Jhin with blood moon skins. Zyra powering through professional play and Xin dominating Soloqueue? Dragon skins. Lee Sin dominating jungle with an upwards of 33% games played and destroying professional play? God Fist Lee Sin incoming. Cosmic Master Yi, Pulsefire Cait, Night/Dawnbringers Yassuo and Riven, all the Omegasquad champions, Pentakill Kayle, and the Arcade Boss skins. 90% of these champions are highly one tricked, and dominate play for the vast majority of players' games. You literally buffed Brand (a champion who was in the bottom fifth of his roles play, the patch he just so happened to get a new Arcade skin.

I love Yorick and have been waiting for him to get a new skin since I picked him up but with this Yi skin release, that solidifies it. I am joining my friends and refuse to purchase anything in game until Riot gives champs that deserve and need a new skin a skin. Illaoi, Tahm Kench, Victor, Shen, Irelia, screw it, release Evelynn's rework with a new skin I guarantee you will make money off it since people want a new skin for these champs so badly!

You people finally get your Yorick skin and you still manage to find some way to fit him into the narrative of your complaints

The sad thing is: next Ahri skin is (with high chance) already under development.[slayer-jinx-unamused]

I think they need to remove him as a champion

Edit: Ignore that stupidity.

Edit 2: Not the thread stupidity, Because.. Well, It is a bit stupid, Complaining about a skin when Yi's last skin was Project... i think.. But my stupidity.

Edit 3: Again, Pardon my stupidity.
