Seriously, why Elderwood Leblanc?

A dozen champions seem better fitted for an Elderwood skin than LB and alot of those champions players wouldn't mind a new skin. This is really out of the blue especially from all the great fan made Elderwood suggestions.

Just curious why she took the priority with the skin.

I think it's a varient of a fairy Leblanc idea that was around a while ago

I think it is too pink, I was hoping for something more druidic, you know, and have her trhowing roots and druidic magic at you.

can you see my custom item? I've made an icon for it! http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/buOIBEzA-the-phoenixs-talon-icon-made-by-me-3

i think she should have been called pixie, fairy something leblanc elderwood sounds something like from a forest, mystic shit druid (zyra skin maybe)

I mean LeBlanc wouldn't mind a new skin either. The last skin she got was Ravenborn LeBlanc, and that came in... October 2014 I think?

I also remember hearing something from Riot that LB was really hard to make a skin for because of something along the lines of the generic nature of her visuals or silhouette or something along those lines.

I can't say that the Elderwood theme fits LeBlanc perfectly, but given she's really hard to make a skin for her it's actually a pretty good idea, not to mention that the other Elderwood skins kind of push the theme in the same way LeBlanc's skin does.

As someone who has loved Leblanc since level 14, I'm happy she has a new skin. Yeah, it's pretty too, but as someone who also mains Zyra this could've literally been the perfect skin for her. I might buy it, or I might just stick with Mistletoe. Idk.
