The reason we haven't seen an ultimate skin this year
I think that Riot has run themselves into a dead end when it comes to Ultimate skins because of what they are designed to do:
- Change the way it feels to play a Champion.
- Add to the game a new experience (Sona)
A very good example is Spirit Guard Udyr. But as time goes on, as new champions get released, and old champions get redesigned (Pantheon etc), we can't help but feel as though Udyr's base deserves to be visually updated, but what would that look like without taking the value away from his ultimate skin.
It is this idea that Riot now has to struggle with because now they have to make something that will have to be better than their current redesigns.
I also complain that Pulsefire Ezreal is nothing compared to Aether Wing Kayle, though a lot could argue that its the same way on ALL her skins, but before the redesign, Aether Wing Kayle was probably on the same level as Post- Redesign Pulsefire Ezreal, as the skin made Kayle into a completely different experience.
But thats my opinion, what do u guys think?
