@Riot: Riot pls: Lunar Karma gone, Stormblade Karma gone. Traditional Karma sale?

... Can we all agree that Karma Karma is sitting somewhere at the bottom of the champion pool in terms of good looking skins? Shaking hands with Yorick and Trundle, she has gotten no new skins since her release. She only has three thanks to her rework.

Quite a lot of Karma fans, it seems, myself included, put a lot of hope in the leaked Lunar Karma / Jade Empress Karma skin that we assumed would be coming for the Lunar Revel, so we didn't press. But now, just like that other skin we never got (Stormblade) and a Red post, we assume it's been cancelled because Riot didn't like it enough.

...And this makes me quite sad.

All we want is a nice looking Karma skin to play in. Many Karma players I've seen have forgone her skins in favor of her default skin, which I think is her best; for me, I don't like Sakura Karma because of it's very awkward walk cycle and lack of moment around her legs, and Sun Goddess Karma simply because I don't favor the armored-bikini look.

A new skin would be great, but it doesn't seem like they'll be one any time soon.

At the very least, can we get a sale on Traditional Karma? It is currently Karma's post popular skin, and due to its elegance it's easy to see why. Unfortunately, many players, like myself, started League after the remake and have no access to this skin. It wasn't even in the Mystery gifting rotation.

Riot, is there any way we can get a Traditional Karma skin sale? I for one would be content waiting longer for a new skin if I could access Traditional Karma, as it is arguably her best skin. Please, for our troubles?

TL;DR Karma doesn't have a large skin selection, and all of her new ones have been cancelled. Can we please get a Traditional Karma skin sale, instead of nothing?

I have my doubts this will happen since it's like a legacy skin for the champs that have a traditional skin (Karma, Sejunai, and Trundle). You only got it if you owned the champ pre-rework, I used to play Karma a lot pre-rework and personally would be kinda sad if they started selling it. I mean they already gave it to anyone who went out and spent a little IP on her, and told everyone about it ahead of time.

I agree that Karma has some pretty poor skin choices--I normally just play her normal one over "Aztec Karma" or "Asian Karma"--so I think everyone agrees that Karma needs something new and compelling.

I don't think Riot would sell "traditional" skins to non-prior-champion-holders, though. It'd detract from someone's support of that champion pre-rework.

Karma's classic skin is beautiful. The things working against are the lack of coronas on her hands, and that stupid wing thing clogging up my eyes on her back. Seriously that thing just looks stupid.

She would be much more elegant if she were rendered as advertised with regards to her hands with the coronas and just plain otherwise.

That dumb wing thing just needs to go.
