So Yorick hasn't gotta a skin since June 22 2011, which was his release :T, sure he got reworked and they changed what his skins look like along with his classic, but for a champion as old as you'd expect him to have a few more skins then some of our newer champions, such as I think he could do really well along the Soulstealer line of skins with and

Edit: Thinking on it, Soulstealer Yorick is a bit to close to the base, overall I just want a pretty cool skin to come out for the guy maybe something along Justicar or even a Void/Dark Star skin

I think it'd be too.. Aesthetically close to the base?

It's fitting, but I imagine it wouldn't be much different from his base. I was sorely disappointed that he didn't get a bloodmoon skin, since he needs something along a demon line.

Well, if I were to go through a list of skin lines I'd like to see Yorick included in...

Battlecast/Mecha, Gentleman, Dark Star, Guardian, Vandal, or (while not a line of skins) Candy King.

They already have that! It's called "Classic Thresh!" :D

Yeah I know, but I thought they could make a fancy skin for it like they did for Officer Cait and Vi( were they already not officers?). Another example is skins that are just their titles. Cough cough general swain, vandal twitch, vandal singed.

Actually, Riot attempted several reworks for Yorick over the past 6 years, but the teams couldn't figure out what they wanted to do with him. This, along with Riot's hatred of the champion and the concept, was why he hasn't had a skin in years.

Unfortunately, Riot's skins team under no obligation, nor do they have the desire, to help Yorick "catch up" on lost skins. He's not popular enough amongst the player base, he's beyond off-meta (intentionally) and a fair number of Riot employees just don't like the champion. (This isn't hyperbole, btw. I've had a number of personal encounters with Riot staff and they pretty much all say that.)

As far as a new skin goes, we're probably looking at another year (or more) before the skins team decides to just make a lazy, half-assed "Blood Moon" skin for him to just stop the memes.
