A lot of people have asked for the old League e. g. Sion, Karma, etc. before remakes. When AP Yi was around and the deathfire touch was, too. But because that is unlikely to happen, a classic skin set would be a great idea. The skins would be for champions who had visual (mostly major) gameplay updates, Such as Fiora, and then update them to match the more modern graphics.
They stopped doing them around after gangplank.
They found the skins overall low quality and not worth selling. Additionally it would make a habit of having to make traditional skins for every VGU, even if the VGU was so significantly different that it wouldn't work (galio) or they'd contained enough of their original design to the point of not needing one (taric, irelia, eve for instance all just look like facelifts of their original models, traditional eve would just be a chroma of shadow eve probably.) Plus other then the model itself, nothing is really "traditional" about them.. like traditional poppy would still look nothing like old poppy, but sejuani was just a visual update changing how she looks, while maintaining everything the original was built around so she could just get a model swap for a skin.
It's an idea that used to exist but is discontinued by riot, i can't remember the exact reason though.
Or, or, hear me out, give me back my old Fiora back. [slayer-jinx-catface]
