Riot, someone already made Traditional Sion for you

I found this artwork for a Traditional Sion skin on Deviantart earlier today. I think I recall a Rioter saying in a tweet that they weren't sure about whether a Traditional skin for Sion would be made due to work reasons, but hopefully you'll have a change of heart. Even if you went with the design with the normal shoulder pad rather than the mammoth one, I'm sure people who fell in love with the original champ would love it. The artist even found a way around the China ruling of 'no human bones'.

Sion was one of my very first champs, so he holds a special place in my heart. I think the rework is badass and I can't wait to try it, but I'll really miss the appearance and voice of a champion that fills me with a sense of nostalgia.

Please Riot, consider this. It'd mean the world not only to me, but to many other Sion fans out there as well.

(Honestly, at this point I'd be willing to spend RP on a Traditional skin because the thought of Sion not getting one is making me nervous. .)

I hope they will make it, but I fear they will get away with it by using worlds as a distraction, not answering the questions or any other means.

And even if the only problem is the china thingy, just don't give it to them, or make it different. It wouldn't be the first time that LoL is censored in a region and not in others.

I remember the german version of LoL used to have no blood, missing sounds for Mundo cleavers and no particles for Warwicks "eyes" etc. But that didn't stop them from using uncensored versions in NA, why should they start doing that now?

IMHO the only reason we don't get it, is because it is too much work for them, without any benefit for the company.

With Sejuani/Trundle/Karma there where more people around complaining about a rework, lots of people were very skeptical. So they made the traditional skins so people wouldn't go crazy on them. But now with Sion, it was more like EVERYBODY agreed that a rework is needed and no1 brought up the topic about a traditional skin, so Riot didn't work on it... (yet?)

I hope I'm wrong :)
