Riot, why don't you make more skins representing champions in an alternative universe?

Let me explain... There are two skins we have: Void Fizz and Underworld MonkeyKing

The first shows how it would be if Fizz was a Void champion, despite him being from Bilgewater. The second shows how Wukong would be if he was a Shadow Isles champion, despite him being from Ionia. Another example: Poppy, despite being a Demacian champion, has a Noxus-themed skin.

Why don't we have more champions skins that shows them being from alternative places?

For example... What if Karthus was from Freljord? What if Draven was from Demacia? What if Braum was from Piltover? If I recall correctly, Void Fizz was a fan-suggested concept that most of community was wishing that was released.

There is actually a concept that I would like to be released... Void Lulu. What if she instead of a Gitterlance, had a "Void energy lance"? If instead of squirrels, she transformed enemies into Voidlings? If Pix was a KogMaw-like instead of a fairy?

Speaking of void-themed skins, there is a recurring concept on Deviantart of a Void-themed Lux skin:

I hope that you take a look

Actually if we go by official explanation,then almost every skin IS from an alternate universe.

Its just that these alternate universe rarely go like "what if champ X was from the nation Y".

I guess they stopped making these kind of skins largely because they can be a bit nonsensical in terms of VO. If we'd get Noxus-Garen and he still runs around screaming "for demacia!",then that would be rather awkward.

Stuff like the "underworld" or "void" skins can be easily done,because they are more about being "undead" or having "void powers" don't necessarily change the actual allegiance of the champ.

Void Lux has been on Riot's radar for a long time, although Lux got Star Guardian not too long ago. It's going to be awhile before it happens, although some dark themed Lux skin should happen.

Void Lux might come. After Steel Legion, a red said that Riot wanted to make a skin for Lux that drives home her overall theme, since she didn't have a real defining skin that could also hit home on her personality.

Gangplank + Piltover = air pirate

Azir + Freljord = looks like a human with dragon features carved out of ice, summons ice minions

Sion + Piltover = Full on Siborg

Twitch + Bilgewater = Pi-rat

Brand + Shurima = pissed off mummy with sand/sun related ability visuals

Anivia + void = this beautiful beast

Vladimir + Freljord = Vlad the totally-not-a-vampire-with-almost-vampiric-strength-wisdom-and-looks

Garen + Ionia = glorious Ionian steel folded over 1000 times, yells random Japanese words in true weeb fashion as he calls upon his hugpillows to protect him

There are Arclight skins. Though, yeah, I would like more of skins from the "Darkest timeline."

Karthus From Freljord would basically be the Lich King, and Blizzard are being asses since it would make more people play League and Karthus. they dont want that.

I would love to see Void Karma. Something like Kassadin after he got corrupted by the void.

I have actually been suggesting a Shadow Isles-themed skin for Kha'Zix for a long time: http://voxollous.deviantart.com/art/Shadow-Isles-Kha-Zix-493053307
