In fairness, Ashe didn't have any skin that actually changed her thematic.

Blue Ashe. Pink Ashe. Green Ashe. White Ashe. Other Green Ashe. Short Hair Purplish Ashe.

Arcade, Captain, even Cowgirl change MF's thematic.

Reverse, Prom, Frostfire all change Annie's.

Ahri has Popstar and Academy.

Lux had the same deal as Ashe -- a ton of skins, that're all still the same old Lux -- until she got Star Guardian. Now I doubt she'll get a skin for a while.

And now Ashe has Project, so she's in the same boat. Before now, she wasn't.

Best decision i made was buying all of her skins when she was updated. So glad i didnt miss out on that.

The skins are nice, but they're better off doing those type of skins that "other" champions needs. Ashe already has a ton of skins. Katarina already has skins. And Ekko... He's debatable.

Vistha KaiAug 2, 20166 votes

Well, Ashe is kind of a FotM and supposedly OP.

Easy cash grab, if you ask me.

Bladerunner7777Aug 2, 201611 votes

Skins are in development for months, if not a year before hand

This wasn't a "cash grab" but more of a coincidence

MavenSongAug 2, 201610 votes

I really dislike when people bring up number of skins in total (over a short period of time is another thing). If a champ were to get say 7 skins and just not get anymore those skins would become outdated and lackluster in comparison. I also know a decent few people really wanted an Ashe legendary skin and she hasnt had a skin since marauder which was before i started playing iirc. (I started playing week or two after last year's urf, i missed it). Kata hasnt had one that significantly changes particles ever, tho Waring Kingdoms is nice... I do agree Ekko is still debatable tho.

genya03Aug 2, 20165 votes

A skin is a skin. Look at Master Yi. Compare the amount of skins towards Evelynn . What about Galio? Riot should focus on the core problem, VGU. We don't need more skins. We need improvement. If you don't like my comment, why are you here to argue with me? Because you don't like people who states based on how many skins they have? Master Yi didn't even need another skin.

MavenSongAug 2, 20164 votes

I'm not argueing just stating. Also the team in charge of VGU's is not the skin team itself, do not blame them.

President Swa1nAug 2, 20165 votes

IMO Ekko was fine but he doesn't need another skin for at least a year.

MavenSongAug 2, 20162 votes

agreed. Ekko was still maybe a bit eh cause he was already based around tech but it was still OK. the skins solid.

MatthewRT2Aug 2, 201630 votes

some champs could use another skin, like RekSai , AurelionSol , Yorick , Urgot , and Jhin .

Like really Jhin would so easy to do, he could easily get project, blood moon, maybe a spin off of the pentakill skins with a quadrakill jhin because he loves 4 so many cool things.

genya03Aug 2, 201613 votes

Bloodmoon Jhin isn't a bad idea. Urgot needs a rework. Sol is kind of a dead champion after his massive nerf. Yorick is getting a rework, don't worry. Rek Sai has been sitting quietly for some reason.

There is this guy who made a fan art blood moon jhin btw. here it is! http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/HN8ljhHr-blood-moon-jhin

The guy is an artist on twitter, "Laken". He's also an artist for some 2d game called AQWs too.

Vellich0rAug 2, 20165 votes

Uhhhh, sol is anything but a dead champion right now, and still sits at one of the highest win rates for people who play the champ over 50 games.

CasterGilgameshAug 2, 20163 votes

his play rate in mid is .9%...thats kind of a dead number for a champion....

LeetriAug 3, 20164 votes

I mean, Viktor sat at that play rate for like 4 years until someone played him in a tournament or something and then his pick rate increased tenfold over night.

CasterGilgameshAug 3, 20161 votes

but viktors weakness arent as easy to exploit like sol viktor had the potential but since people where so focused on meta picks they just ignored him.

LeetriAug 3, 20161 votes

That's not the point, the point is that all it takes is for someone famous to play Aurelion Sol in a tournament and do well-ish for his popularity to spike.

KatCraftAug 3, 20163 votes

Only by hardcore mains that still play him.

Vellich0rAug 3, 20161 votes

The only reason for his low pick rate is the barrier to entry for his kit. No one else in the game has the same damage paradigm, but as it stands sol is a tanky sustained burst Mage monster with the potential to solo carry a game by himself with solid positioning.

KatCraftAug 3, 20161 votes

league is not a game that rewards skill/hard champs with power. He is frustrating and blows up with slightest poor positioning and struggles immensely against assassins or anything with a gap closer. Before the nerfs he did reward players with power and used to be a monster but not anymore. Because that's not how riot balance this game.

Vellich0rAug 3, 20161 votes

I mean, he is sitting at a 54.5% win rate across ALL ranks once you hit 11 games. after 50? 60% winrate. Gangplank on the other hand, often considered overpowered (ESPECIALLY in the hands of a master) only hits 58% after 100+ games. Even at master tier+ gangplank never hits above 59% even after 100 games played. Even nidalee, the darling of high elo, only makes it to that number at master tier+ after 100 ranked games on her. So, yes, aurelion sol IS a monster if you learn to play him, and even now he is sitting at a 51% winrate for a hard to play champion, which is too high of a winrate for a high skill floor champion like aurelion sol.
