Why Arcade Ez and Ahri? Props for Arcade Corki though

I just feel like, Arcade Ez is a cheap copout skin (it makes sense, but it's a little too easy though...) and isn't that creative for Ezreal.

And why Arcade Ahri...? Just because she's popular? The theme doesn't make sense for her, and screams a D.Va copy.... seriously riot?

Unless you're making more battle boss skins.... you horribly missed opportunity for champs like Malzahar and Viktor. Like seriously. Other champs that would have been better like Fizz, Heimy, Iloai, Zyra, to name a few....

It's probably because they can only come up with/are only motivated to make skin ideas for champions they play which is why certain champs get a ridiculously high amount of skins and others get none.

On the other hand, I do like the look of arcade ahri and will probably end up getting it.

Because riot doesn't want to give Ez a visual update so they just release a new skin for him ocassionally so people forget that he looks like shit and to make pulse fire owners mad that they bought the skin and it hasn't been updated for 4 years and they paid 2-4x as much for a skin of shitty quality Ahri IDFK man

Malzahar and Viktor don't really scream Arcade, they don't particularly have any kind of feel or gaming reference that could really make them fit. Fizz just got a Super Galaxy skin, and Arcade would be a bit too close (plus, no one likes Fizz, the rat bastard), and Heimerdinger, Illaoi, and Zyra all have lots of models to work with that would require more extensive work and a higher price tag. Considering that we just got a Legendary skin with Ashe, they wouldn't have had the resources to push out a second one in time for this run. As for Corki and Ezreal - why do they need to have a particular reason, other than the super creative ways they've applied the concept to them? You may think Ezreal is a cop-out, but I don't see how his power glove and Sorin/Cloud Strife look are anywhere similar to his classic look. I think it's a pretty clever way to pay homage to these wildly popular video game characters. As for Corki, he's in a Galaga ship. What's not to love about that? If anything, Ahri feels like the forced one, she just looks like an anime furry fan they abducted off the street.
