Old Academy skins & Battle Academia (Why not include?)

I'm not really sure why these old skins weren't brought in for the event? It would make major sense to put them on discount, rename them, and add them to the BA line-up during this time. Or, why not bring Professor Ryze out of the vault and add him to the teacher line-up? Headmistress Fiora-> Vice Principal Fiora?

It would make the event seem a little more fleshed out, kinda just seems half-baked right now. I get that Riot wants to sell the newest and coolest skin, but... Money is money dude. 50% for skins not bringing in the $ right now, or even 25% off would net them a little more sales.

NOTE:_ I have zero interest in purchasing/playing any of these champion skins personally, so I'm not just trying to get something on discount. but that's just my opinion. Professor Thresh on the other hand... Coach Thresh..._ [slayer-pantheon-rainbows]

They are from different universes That's why

Because the skinlines are distinct, separate entities. Academy is actual, 'normal' school: Ahri, Darius, Ekko, and Vladimir are all 'normal' students (outside of Vlad being a centuries old vampire pretending to be a student), and Professor Ryze and Headmistress Fiora are both regular teachers.

Battle Academy is a anime universe shonen line where everyone has cool powers and a dark, mysterious past and also there is little to no actual schooling.

It does not make sense to merge them, because one is a anime explody action skinline, and the other is a "what if these champions just went to a regular, normal school?"
