More skins for champs that don't have 5

Is it too much to ask for more skins on the champions that don't already have 5+? Sona, Ezreal, Annie, Yi, and Tryndamere are big offenders, but Annie is the biggest.

I mean seriously, another Annie skin? I own 5 Annie skins and this next one will mean I own exactly half of Annie's skins.

Then there's the fact I own 1 Yorick skin, and that's half of his. Riot needs to make more skins for other champions instead of just picking favorites that don't even have higher pick rates.

It would make business sense if the champions with a ton of skins were the ones with the highest play rates, but that's not even the case.

Edit: I see the point that she has a lot of options, so if you don't do the crafting you still can get an Annie skin... but that only stands if you wanted an Annie skin in the first place. This actually screws over anyone who, like me, already has an Annie skins. Now the Hextech reward is on a champion I already have good skins for, when it could've easily been for any champ with fewer options.

There was a good point that was made by someone who I don't recall at the moment.

Would you rather this skin, a limited availability/acquirability exclusive skin be for a champion who doesn't have very many? And then you can't even get this skin?

Think about if you love one of these champs and want another skin, that if you are die-hard Yorick fan who has been waiting all this time for another skin... and when one finally does come out after years, you can't even buy it!

Taking this into consideration, Annie is the **Perfect **champion for this.

"If the skin was for a champion that didn't have very many skins, it would screw over people that like that champion, as the only way to get that new skin would be to do all the work to earn it"

By this same definition doesent this screw over the other ppl who dont care for these champs? I mean c'mon can I get a Kalista, idve even been cool wit a thresh since u cant get is chapionship right now....

Honestly i dont get it either. I mean i understand that older champs will get far more skins than people who were just released. But then you have champs like Taric, Yorick, Urgot, etc who have never been touched. Granted they did claim that with Taric coming up with a rework this means he will be able to get more skins, but i doubt it will be something worth waiting for. At this point with champs who are older than 3 years old that still have only a couple of skins should basically get a skin like the Ultimate skin, but not at that price point because in all honesty especially for people who are fans/play these champs have been waiting far too long to get something.

And now with the news that Annie is getting yet another skin is just a slap in the face. This kind of proves that they only care about certain number of champions. They could have given this new skin to any other champion, but decided on Annie because? She obviously doesnt need it, nor were people asking for Annie to get another skin so soon.

All in all im not saying its a bad skin. the new Annie skin is nice, just not needed. There should never be Champions who go on YEARS without a new skin, no matter the reason. Just give other champions the things they need. They could have given low skin champion simple 750 skins for us to wait for, but decided to just make us wait years to get a new skin. This leaves us with the idea that their next skin will be some high detailed (again think Ultimate skin tier) skin, which i highly doubt they would do with how many champions they would need to do this for!

Annie is getting the Hextech skins because it will be available exclusively through the upcoming Hextech crafting system. If someone doesn't want to do all the stuff in order to get that skin, they have more Annie skins to choose from. If the skin was for a champion that didn't have very many skins, it would screw over people that like that champion, as the only way to get that new skin would be to do all the work to earn it.
