Dear Riot, I Want To Give You Money

But lately there just hasn't been any skins that I'm interested in. I have so much money I /want/ to spend on your game, but the skins for champions I enjoy playing do not come out very often. I am not alone, there are plenty of players willing to spend so much money on your game, but you aren't getting RP from us because you aren't releasing skins for champions we enjoy.

I get it. You don't have the man power to pump out a ton of high quality skins for over 120 different champions. It's not feasible, and sometimes even when a champ I enjoy DOES get a skin, it might be something I think sucks or I don't enjoy. E.g., I don't want to buy Lux's Steel Legion skin, because I feel like the military theme doesn't fit her thematically. I've waited over 2 years to spend money on a new Lux skin.

So why not give us more options to spend our money? Why not expand on your customization options?

What happened to the idea of letting us buy custom maps themed around different ideas? A candy land summoners rift? An Underwater summoners rift? A Demacia / Noxus theme? All of these ideas you can CHARGE us for. Start giving players the option to buy customization beyond just champion skins. You will reach untapped markets that right now you simply aren't reaching.

There are SO many easy things you can recolor or edit that could really enhance game experience. This goes beyond map mods. Consider recoloring dragon or the jungle camps, even new designs for nexus turrets. Minion skins? What about even a customizable loading screen? Consider letting us buy simple particle changes for some champions rather than entirely new skins. You've already seen how many of us are willing to spend money on little icons, can you imagine if you actually expanded this in game as well? You'd start making a TON of money.

Sincerely, Someone who wants to spend more money on your game.

Another problem I wish I had.

Or at least skins that don't look like they were designed by a 12 y/o girl.

YES! the map themes is a perfect way to add dynamic to the game! i would get sick of this game so much less often if all they did was change the way the map looks haha

I like Lux, I like Spelltheif, that's all I need for her right now. Would love a new skin but eh, they've made plenty of skins for other champs I love lately. She'll get one soon enough, as there's other champions out there that haven't seen skins in almost 4-5 years now... so 2 years is nothing.

The map themes though, they said they'd have those kind of things in the future AFTER the Rift Update was done. You do know that that took about 8 months or so of work to get to where it is now, and hell they are still adding things to the Rift, so it will be some time before you see any kind of alternate themes for that.
