Skins For New Champs

A trend has been building with regards to quality of skins recently. Braum is the most significant example but I have noticed it with several newer champs and new skins for older champs; The vanilla skin is so good that the paid skins are pretty lame by comparison, and the newer skins on old champs are unimaginative compared to some of the older ones. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as it means they're putting more thought into new champions, but it is concerning for the future, because their revenue will be derived from people paying for skins just because they're not vanilla. We will have egotrip players with new skins that add nothing to the game, and Riot won't notice cause they're making too much money off it.

I suggest for the future, a way to prevent this: Reduce prices on old skins, put more thought into the gameplay/entertainment value of new skins for any champ, and try to create more 'team skins' like Pentakill and 'Skin Theme Groups' like the Western one that brought us High Noon Yasuo and Bandito Fiddlesticks. Also avoiding 'kitsch' skins like 'El Tigre Braum' would be nice.
