Champion skins are a joke when it comes to giving them fairly

  1. Before you give me the crap that riot is a company I know that,but acording to them they are given fairly and they try to give out skins to champions that dint have in a long while, some champions which deserve one are :Ivern Kindred Lissandra AurelionSol For god sake aueriol sol got on skin from his release and now he he has none,can't remember the last time lissandra got one even if she doesn't deserve one ivermectin got one skin from his release and again no new skins and kindred had so many God damn concepts ,I think she is the champion with the most concepts,blood moon ,reverse,sweetheart and even an elder wood!but riot decided to give her a skin on her release and as riot says they make skins with the idea of what a champion would look like if?who came up with the idea of kindred being in a robot suit? This isn't code geas,and 2 years of wait has gone to shit,even with the other champions ,how come Jhin gets a release skin,a blood moon a project and a skt in 1-1.5years ?i get sit doesn't count but I think it counts a bit since he did get the skin and instead of riot saying that is enough and he just got a skin they gave him another,for fuck sake man I know riot is a company and that there a lot of champions who needs skins but riot keeps giving the popular ones I mean Katarina has 2 Halloween skins!yea so what only popular champions can get a skin? JarvanIV with his popularity hasn't gotten a single skin in like 6 years?

so... what do skin releases have to do with Player Behavior? This would probably fit better in Story, Art, and Sound.

First this doesn't belong in player behavior.

Second, based on the skins that do come out, they tend to spend more time developing popular champ skins that are more likely to generate revenue rather than unpopular champs that are less likely to generate revenue. Honestly, I haven't seen the champs you mentioned in games outside of ARAM.

Skin production isnt balanced for a few reasons, for sol specifically i know it's cause he's rather difficult to make one for. you have to find one that works thematically for him and all his spells, which are visually difficult, compared to jhin, who needs a model and 5 projectiles. Everyone you listed except lissandra (RIP ice mage...... rework will happen eventually) has a visual thematic that makes it difficult for them to fit into common skin lines like project or bloodmoon (lamb vs wolf, ivern's incredibly awkward, lanky form plus daisy), so it takes them longer to get skins. like illaoi, who is getting one soon.

Hey,

As noted, this thread is better suited elsewhere than Player Behavior since this sub-section is more for discussing rules, violations, and the like. If you want to talk about champion skins like this, you could try General Discussion or Story, Art, & Sound.

I'm gonna go ahead and lock this thread and you are welcome to recreate it in a more appropriate sub-section.
