Why did you guys pick Ashe for a project skin? She doesn't really seem to fit the theme,

Just curious, every other project champion is all about obnoxious dashes/blinks. even down to leona. I was just curious as to why Ashe was picked over a more mobile adc like Kalista/graves/vayne/quinn ect

She's not even active in either of the areas where the project theme comes from,

With the exception of ashe every other champion is from zaun, ionia, demacia(Targon is connected) or noxus, which are three parts of a war within one region (Zaun and noxus vs ionia). I was under the impression that there was a purpose for them, now if they needed a leader, i could see graves, his big Bleep you attitude, getting caught and then busting loose. breaking out of confinement was in his backstory anyway and he's the leader of an old gang... plus space cowboy

I'm pretty sure she was picked as the leader because her lore is about unifying freljord. Which exactly the role she plays as the project leader. She unifies the projects against a common enemy.

So... she's not flashy or dash.

Graves would get so pissed at the concept of being enslaved he'd free all the subjects just out of spite, Kalitta out of vengeance, ect.

With that clunky of a champion having a project skin we might as well have project urgot, project shen, project Darius, and project garen...

Heck I'd take project draven before project ashe.

Actually he's so damned glamorous that would work

I guess what I'm saying is that with the exception of ashe, every other project champion has at least a dash, and has always had a reputation for being the sort of champion who might just carry the game.

Yes even leona

I actually think it's more fitting than any of the ADC's you mentioned. I couldn't imagine them with a project theme skin especially Graves except maybe Kallista , that'd just look goofy with his animation set.

Maybe Riot thought that Ashe still haven't got enough skins.

They wanted to make more money before nerfing her, like they always do.

1.Have op champion 2.Make awesome skin for that champ 3.Wait for everyone to buy skin 4.Gut that champion 5.Back to step 1

Wouldn't be surprised if a new Yasuo skin pops up soon

Variety I guess. I don't think Riot really likes to keep skins to certain champs because they have a common mechanic or something along those lines. You wouldn't think Aatrox would fit for a mecha skin, but he has it. I really believe it just comes down to if they have a good concept for a skin on a champ that they wish to go with. I could imagine someone at Riot coming up with a stealthy or cyborg version of Ashe and it evolved into PROJECT: Ashe.
