Verification that Riot is actually working on Zac Skins

Dear Riot,

I think by now most of us have heard and understand the "Zac is complicated to skin" reasoning for the delay, and that's fine. However, it would be great to have some kind of verification from Riot that somebody is actually attempting to work it out. It's been far too long since we've heard an update on where he's at in terms of working out the issue.

At the very least, if the issue has been tabled some of us would like to know so we can turn our chairs a few degrees and stare expectantly at a different horizon (probably that of the mysterious villain from the Ekko trailer).

If someone from Riot says that a different project deserves more attention, then I'll take them at their word. Be it far from me to claim that I know what their priorities should be. But please give us something.

Sincerely, One of your 60-something million overly-demanding customers

They can't. I mentioned this in another thread a while ago. Riot literally cannot tell you if a skin is or is not under production for any champion because it's going to encourage people to save up their money and not buy other things in the store because "oh I'll just save up for the skin for my main."

Also, the project might get dropped at any time, so it might not always be a good idea for them to let you know they're doing it.

You think Zac is complicated?

How do you expect riot to handle the workload when theyve been slaving over Chroma packs for the past 8 months? That takes time, dedication, and creativity. It's not like you can get some 18 year old intern to pump out all of those different colors overnight!

It's unhealthy for a game company to give any information for any project that is not ready to release. Consumers tend to jump to conclusions and will find any miniscule detail to get angry over.

I'm pretty sure I read a post somewhere saying 'we're working on Zac, he's just difficult'. That SHOULD be enough information for you, if you saying this

They can keep their timelines/ artwork/ concepts to themselves until they're ready.

is actually true.
