Heart Seeker Ashe came out last year at valentines bust she only has 4 or 5 available skins at this time. If you clcik on champions and sort by release date she is champion #22 which makes her very old so will most likely have more skins made for her.

As has also been pointed out several times some champions are harder to make skins for than others, Zac being the prime example without just doing a re color.

This exactly some champion's (zac) is hard cause it would be just re-color and many other's like (yorick) won't get nothing till a rework ( which is weird because they said same for Evelynn but she still got a skin made :/ )

Pool Party Zac.

Give water texture.

Give tiny water droplets spraying.

Ult causes a wind storm.

E is a wave.

W is a water boom.

Q is a water bloon.

Clap clap XD

The E with the palm trees are interesting. Perhaps waters instantly spits out from his bodies, causing the trees to grow?

Still essentially a recolor, though, but the particles could be significantly different.

How is it a recolor if I clearly stated drastically different particles.

On the side note, EVERY SKIN IS A RECOLOR, because the color scheme is changed.

If it was done like the Pool Party concept art floating around (shown in TheFabulousJake's comment), I certainly wouldn't call it a recolor.

By my definition, I'd still call Special Weapon Zac a recolor, even though he has some different particles and sounds. The base model is still essentially the same, just with a few spiky tendrils instead of the one long antenna-like one.

Yup, this is correct!

In addition, we felt that Ashe would be a good candidate for this skin line because it explores another fantasy that she didn't have with any of her other skins.

Any chance you could pass on the Nanobot/Scrap Metal Zac skin idea? A central core surrounded by many smaller parts which can be dropped and picked up at will, so that he can thematically keep his passive and blob mechanics.

more money more money. and it might be a precursor to ashe buffs. Usually skins indicates nerfs or buffs of said champ.

No, they've actually started deliberately avoiding that, because when it happens they get accused of squeezing the community for more sales.

Sona is an exception to this policy, though. They want her in a balanced state by the time DJ Sona is released, so they don't have to alter her afterward.

mmmm ive noticed a general pattern with their skin releases. Varus, the next coming skin, is receiving a buff next patch. Annie, just received a buff/nerf. Kat and Nidalee will likely will mostly be receiving adjustments around the time their skins come out, but ive just noticed a general trend with skin releases. There are obviously a few exceptions but for the most part, there are buffs prior to or soon after the champions skill release.

I prefer to attribute those to the fact that while making a skin for a champion, they also have a good opportunity to look closely at their kit and change a few things.

Because if you're going to play an underpowered ADC, then at least look good doing it :D

On a more serious note, she is really old, so obviously she is going to have a lot of skins lol.

One just went into the Vault so they replaced it with another XD

Ashe is getting another skin because they came up with a concept and it happened to go nicely on Ashe. Skins apparently take a fair amount of time to produce, and there are an awful lot of champions that "need" skins. Given enough time, there will eventually be skins for your favorites.
