I have an honest question for you Riot.

So I guess I just want to know why of all the champions you thought needed a new skin you chose teemo? I mean there are tons of other champions who have had little to no skins since release or have been left alone with no skins in a very long time. (Zac, Jayce, kennen, Nocturne. and many more) so why not do something for them instead of the bastard rat I mean I do understand he has not had a skin in a while either but I mean it just seems like there were so many better candidates for one. Oh well I look forward to seeing how this turns out.

Edit: Got my first riot response ever :3 thanks agaIn for stopping by to clarify things KateyChaos, also saw the new skins up on pbe and oh my goodness finally new rammus, vayne, and xerath skins also happy skarner is getting skin love lately ^_^

Hey Tyrantking7,

You're right in that there are several champions who are in need of their next skin, and we're making our way to them! We can't release everything at once, but I can assure you, there's a lot more to come this year!

In regards to why another skin, his last skin was actually in 2012, which means it's been quite some time since the previous skin. Naturally, champions who have been around the longest e.g. Ashe, Annie or Warwick, will have more skins than newer champions.

Hope this clears things up a bit!

I agree with you. But I know one of the issues is this, some champions are just easier and more fun to make skins for.

To be fair, let's look at it another way:

1.) After Astronaut Teemo was demoted to 1350, he no longer had a legendary skin. 2.) Despite being the bane of player's existence, Teemo has NO SERIOUS SKIN to deliver on that. They're all cutesy. 3.) Skins are being worked on for many champions at once. Just because it isn't being released right now doesn't mean it won't be. 4.) The skin theme is actually kinda chilling. This is a Teemo who's gone completely off the edge and has murdered / watched everyone he knew die. It's a dark skin for a champion who's backstory flat-out says he's an unrepentant assassin.

I'd be perfectly comfortable with this being Teemo's final skin. He does have a lot of skins. But this one fulfills an area that none of his other skins have delivered on: dark, gritty, creepy. Basically the Satan Teemo skin that we've attributed to the rat for so long.

Cottontail Teemo accounted for 11.2% of Riot's 2014 revenues. It makes sense to fill the demand.

Nocturne actually has few skins, jayce got that gentleman skin with the white costume fairly recently. I agree with zac, there is an amazing pool party skin i keep seeing on facebook for zac, where he is made of water and i wanna see that.

Zed needs a cool skin too since he is such a famous champion.

Azir, gnar, kalista, reksai, are the new champs that need one more skin each.

Generally i think you are right the skin world isn't very well balanced
