New skins they're considering

Nami (eh..) Soraka(Why?) Nasus(why?) Amumu(eh..) Udyr(Ok)

Nasus got his infernal skin(albeit it's not SUPER recent but in terms of skins..it's not old) PS rename that skin to gentleman nasus Soraka got her reaper skin(Again im talking in terms of skins releases for champs not content all together) she basically JUST got this skin Amumu he has a ton of skins Udyr he's understandable..the new skin looks like an april fools joke but still his classic model and the model on every other skin that isn't SG is gross Nami Idk about this one. She DOES need more skins but she did JUST get River spirit

First it was ahri then ashe then sivir etc. etc. Why are these champs even thought about for skins?

Yorick - If ANY champion in this game needs attention it's him. You haven't gave any buffs/nerfs/reworks/visual updates anything. No type of content for him what so ever. Zac - You argue it's hard to make a skin for him. Pool party zac? Make him water..easy. Snowstorm Zac? Make him a snowman..easy. Lava zac? I can go on for days. Yes, gentleman zac with a suit I can understand your logic but you have a ton of ideas that can work and haven't done anything Taric - He has what? 2 skins? He's old as fk. Why isn't he getting anything? Gnar - It didn't take long for Yasuo to get his 2nd skin. Same for jinx? Why gnar? Azir - You broke him at least give a skin for compensation(idrc for him) Rek'sai - (see gnar)

I can go on for hours but I think I got my point across

Riot went on statement a while ago saying they don't just make champion skin releases about age. If they see an opportunity for a good skin, they will create and release it instead of giving us a hurried and inevitably underwhelming skin for a champion who is in need of one.

All of them are for April Fools. They're intended to be fun and comical.

Yorick - Will likely get a rework before he gets anything Zac - Riot has mentioned that they don't want to give the guy only recolor skins. They've also admitted they have no clues on how to animate clothes with him. Until the clothes thing gets figured out, no new skins for him Taric - Is getting a visual update (maybe a kit update as well? Less sure on that one). A new skin will likely wait until his new model is finalized. Gnar / RekSai - Yasuo got his skin 9 months after he came out. Braum got his 8 months after he came out. Vel'Koz got his 11 months after he was released. Jinx got hers over a year after she came out. The oldest of these champions is Gnar, who's still at 8 months old. He'll probably get a new skin in the next four months. Azir - "Skin as compensation for a nerf/trashing a champ" is a joke, not something that should be expected. Besides, he's getting some buffs tomorrow.
