Brand getting a new skin? Awesome. Kass? Extremely cool. But Vi?

Didn't she already get TWO skins last year? Meanwhile others champions like for example are waiting up to 3 years now (some even longer!) for another skin to come out, what about them?

Especially the latest Ahri skin left a bad taste in my mouth since it's just another overly popular champion getting skins on an annual basis. Is there some bias behind those skin releases or how do you explain this kind of thing?

What about the perceived minority mains who still play this game?

its just probably that the skin concept fit, as for ahri; ahri skins usually seem to sell very well with how popular she is

Well, Riot releases skins based on how well they think the fans will pay money to get them, not on who has the most skins. If the community shows enough interest/desperation for a certain champ skin, they will release one. Sadly, that's how it works. (Examples, Brand, Zac, etc.)

I take it you're a glass half empty kind of guy.

Yes, she has a lot if skins. But the concept fit her extremely well. It's obviously going to sell well. Meanwhile two Champs are going to get their first new skin in years.

I really don't see the problem.

Pretty sure riot just makes skins they want to make, not "hmm has this champ had their turn yet?"

Vi skins probably gonna make a little more money than an urgot skin also
