Anyone else notice the lack of new Chroma Packs?

Cause I certainly have. They haven't even released the Zed one that was on the PBE a while ago that got "Delayed". I sense that Rito is planning something.

EDIT: I think people are misunderstanding that I implied that Riot is gonna implement some way to get free chromas, probably through champion mastery, and with it, they will release a bunch of chromas at one time.

Nobody was buying them. Probably because they refused to sell them individually and were making some of them for expensive skins. They're basically skins for cheap people, but forcing said people to buy them in a bundle in addition to tacking some of them onto already expensive skins was a terrible idea. If I have enough RP for a chroma pack, I might as well buy a full fledged skin, and attaching chromas to expensive skins is akin to selling plastic hubcaps for Lamborghinis.

Regardless, most people use one skin for their character primarily anyway, nobody wants all of the chromas in a pack.

I think Riot gave up for a while with chroma packs because players were very uninterested in them or despised them because of the price. And, as mentioned by other people comments, people would like to choose buying one of them separately instead of a pack.

My problem with chroma packs is the lack of any kind of splash art. Some of them are cool, I have a lot of skins that are just re-colors. But what I look for when I load in with a skin is that 5 skin splash art, for both skinergy and skintimidation, and the chroma just doesn't offer that. The chroma skins would be awesome if they were discounted when you owned the og skin, or in the case of classic re-colors just cheap from the word go. Have them available solo or in packs and there you go. Another issue with some of the packs is how similar the color pallets are. For example, when you buy pink zac, you get 2 yellowish colors, why not a blood red?
