I think it'd be pretty neat because if someone wanted a victorious skin for a champion they weren't there for, didn't get to gold in time, etc. they have a chance to get it still. Would anything be wrong with this?
Who is Taliyah8 votesWell as much as I would love to have the victorious Janna skin, I don't think it's right. The skins from past seasons are rewarded to the player who played then. They would mean much less if you could just grab the season 2 skin in season 7. People that played then would be upset and you could not difference them anymore. I always respect people with victorious janna, because she used to be my main and I'm a bit sad that I didn't play when you could obtain her. Having the possibility to just choose it 5 years later would feel wrong.

To be fair, I disagree with the premise. But that's how it is, so...
Darkmage Aqua1 votesisnt there other ways to get those skins tho?

There is not. Victorious skins are rewards for past seasons. Season 1 was jarvan, Season 2 was Janna, Season 3 was Elise, Season 4 was Morgana, Season 5 was Sivir, Season 6 was Maokai. Past victorious skins can't be obtained anymore
Sarutobi2 votesI would like something like this as it would give me an incentive to play rank. The only problem is what about the people who already own all the skins? i mean its not really fair to give people who just started playing or who may have missed a chance, but the people who have been here and playing/getting gold+ this wouldnt really do anything for them!
Sraeg20131 votesNew players still wouldn't be able to get all of them, so that's the difference.
GarthBrooksXD1 votesi think if u finish diamond+ you should get all the victorious skins. This way there is increased incentive beyond the gold mark :)
Stephenizgod4 votesWhat ever happened to the desire to climb just to see how your skill matched up against others? Why there need to be an incentive? I think this kind of half-assed kind of thinking needs to be discouraged not encouraged.
GarthBrooksXD1 votesI'm 99.9% sure people play to try to master the game and reach diamond/plat etc... rather than for victorious maokai skins :) I would like victorious Sivir and Morgana though and I can see there isn't an additional reward for plat or diamond so why not throw in some more skins as reward!
Stephenizgod1 votesI disagree, I think most of them are playing the game to rage and troll :). Im sure 99% of high elo is playing to master the game, I can't say the same for like 60% of the people in lower elo's since majority of the time when you ask someone why they flashed into 4 people they will say "eh I don't really care".
GarthBrooksXD1 votesok well i dont know how raging could be an attraction to the game but personally i play the game to become one of the best players and im sure many of the people in my elo could say the same.
Stephenizgod1 votesI don't know why people get on just to rage either :( seems like its easier to not rage. I am playing to improve but I feel like I am hitting my ceiling :P
GarthBrooksXD1 votesMaybe find a mentor to help you realize where u can improve your gameplay. A diamond friend looked at some of my games and I learned a lot about laning, wave management and map movement. And I played with a diamond 5 smurf zed a couple games ago and he didnt like dominate his lane really or anything but he made the most amazing baron call ive ever seen that won us the game.
Stephenizgod1 votesYea I could do that, I think most of it is mental though, I've hit a point where I don't want to give enough time and effort into improving. Plus I am just not naturally gifted with these kinds of games and it takes a lot of effort for me to improve.

I mean everyone has their reasons to play rank, it might also be a combination of those things. This would be one of them, not only to see one's skill, but also to get rewarded for those skills. Since you could choose which skin you wanted this wouldn't be right for people who owns all of them as their only incentive would be whatever new skin it is and to some that might not be worth the hard work!
Troll for Trump1 votesYou could do that, but just with 20XX afterwards, like how the championship Riven skin(with a few tweaks) was made purchasable. But that'd be annoying to maintain by Riot.
