Well no, they sell the most so they get priority

When 15% of your games have an Ornn in them, he'll get a skin lol

like right now kled is everywhere but he has no good skins. so is nautilus but he gets no new skins. so is talon and he hasnt gotten a skin in 2+ years. what im saying is that they AREN'T giving skins to the ones that have high play rates, instead they are just staying on the same one such as irelia, akali, ahri, lux, any ADC other than xayah or kalista, Etc. i know that they make money but its getting annoying that all these good skin ideas are going the default wifus like look at this new skin line for project skins. yes they gave us a pyke and warwick skin but did they REALLY have to add ANOTHER akali and irealia skin. and the thing that really makes me mad is that the akali skin looks TERRIBLE it stands out so much when compared to the classic project skin line color palette and looks like a neon mess.

Kled's only in around 7% of games which is pretty good but you do have to keep in mind the design team for skins pre-work on skins before actual patches - they're usually lined up to design something rather than meeting the supply and demand coz the supply and demand typically is what's on the list

it's not impossible to throw in curveballs to those suggestions tho but they speak about upcoming changes pretty frequently on twitter

sure there's a lot of good concepts but good concepts dont = sales

btw voli's getting rework soon with fiddle so :eyes:

I mean you literally just answered your own post lol

Riot is a company. Companies need + like money.

It sucks, but that's just how it is.

Im sorry but what??!!!! Do you even know these champions? Jayce's last skin was in November 2016 before his Battle Academia skin. Talons last skin was in September 2018 and Lissandra's was in November 2018. So who really needed the skin there? Jayce.

Volibear (PLEASE GIVE THIS BOI A SKIN)

Champions like him are ineligible as he is under going a rework to be released in 2020

-Rakan (give him like an opposite thing with xayah like fire and ice or give him a skin independent of xayah)

Already has a skin independent of Xayah....

I was going to go champion by champion for your list and see when the last time they got a skin was, but your list is just so terrible that I can't devote that much time to tearing it apart. Aside from Bard, the first 5 champions got a skin within the last year - year and a half.

-Talon (TWO YEARS and counting for not getting a new skin)

He got one less than a year ago.

Do yourself a favor, go here https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_champions/Skin_catalog

Delete your entire list, and start over, but with champions that actually belong on it if you want to make a post like this. Which honestly is pointless, as these posts are made probably atleast once a week, or every time new skins are announced.
