Will she ever get an actual skin?

Dethflash·May 1, 2017·12 votes·1,096 views

Illaoi was releashed November 24 2015, this November will be 2 years since her release and she still only has her crappy void skin which is no better than a purple chroma skin of illaoi. Have you just completely forgotten this champion riot? There are a few really good and easy ideas for skins for Illaoi. candy cane illaoi, her tenticles are candy cane stripped. (Goes with the candy king ivern skin) Priate Illaoi, she is dressed like a priate and her tenticles look like a giant squids tenticles Blood moon Illaoi, she has her own bloodmon outfit and her tenticles are dark red, whenever her tenticles hit a enemy champion it has a blood effect.

I know illaoi might not be the easiest champion to think of skins for, but just the few i named would be a 100 times better than her crappy chroma riot calls a "void skin"

Logged in to upvote this particular comment. Wouldn't this just be "Surprise Party Illaoi?"

Also, OP needs spelling lessons.

Also a possible april fools day variant or just its own thing. Aggressive used car saleswoman Illaoi.

Void Illaoi ain't bad imo.

It's all business, lad. Riot does have the staff and money to easily release about 8 skins or more a month. Kindred, Sol, Jhin, Kalista, many champs don't get skins for a very long time unless they're super popular like Lee Sin or they're about to announce some special event. Illaoi won't get a new skin unless she becomes very popular or she gets some important change, the skin will then be an extra to grab cash and hype people.

yorick 6 years no skins

LostFr0stMay 1, 20175 votes

It's been 9 months since the rework, he should get one anytime now... hopefully...maybe.

Warlord ScrapMay 1, 20171 votes

I said that along time ago ive given up hope hes reached meme status

LostFr0stMay 1, 20171 votes

Well, it's technically only been 3 months, since it takes 4-6 at least to make a skin. Not that it makes it any better.

GreenLoreMay 1, 20171 votes

Well so did graves cigar and that is actually coming back...

My bet is Faker will get his third skin before Yorick does.

Warlord ScrapMay 2, 20171 votes

honestly id quit league at that point

DrCyanideMay 2, 20172 votes

Well, get ready to quit League then. Faker's already tied Yorick with two skins (SKT T1 Azir and SKT T1 Zed) and a third is in the works from last worlds.

Warlord ScrapMay 2, 20171 votes

probably but i mean pp yorick was hinted at so yorick might just win it

SukishooMay 2, 20171 votes

SKT T1 Azir was for Easy Hoon not Faker. Ryze was for Faker.

DrCyanideMay 2, 20171 votes

Ah... I forgot we had yet another batch of SKT T1 skins, just grabbed the mids from the two I remembered right off.

SukishooMay 2, 20171 votes

XD (too many mids!) and more coming though from what I remember they hadn't confirmed the mid champ this time around... so gotta wait more >_<

He got a rework where all his skins got changed. So yeah he doesnt have a "new" skin, but visually all his skins are completely different than before. But yeah Yorick could use a new skin like Illaoi, and some other forgotten champions too

Warlord ScrapMay 2, 20171 votes

except the only one significantly different is the base skin. Pentakill just got the pentakill symbol on his back. and undertaker added the the grave stone and made it a sleeveless shirt. Also rework s dont count as new skins but for this will act like it does. A rework takes one year roughly from start to finish. yoricks been out for 6. so losing a year yorick still has three times as much time without a skin as illaoi. and still beats cass the actual next longest champ by a few months.

Maybe if her fans could SPELL. Pirate. Tentacle. C'mon man.

But seriously, Illaoi is popular enough, I'm sure she'll get one soon. I'm pulling for Pool Party, myself. She may be on the harder side to make skins for since she does have the tentacle models and animations in addition to her own. We'll see.

DethflashMay 2, 20171 votes

Sorry i tried to write a post after being awake for 32 hours straight hahaha. I am actually not that bad at spelling when i have had my sleep

GreenLoreMay 1, 20172 votes

At this point I believe that they might plan to give her a pool party skin,in which case she'd have to wait for summer.

Personally I feel like Release skins are just never that great. It always seems like when the skins team is introduced to a new champion, they just take the safest most boring route possible. ShadowFire Kindred just involved making their VFX Orange. Void Bringer Illaoi just involved making her tentacles purple. Ashen Lord Aurelion Sol just involved making his stars red. Heck even High Noon Jhin isn't anything THAT Special.

I don't personally think any of these skins are bad, but I think you jump the gun too quickly by saying Void Bringer Illaoi was 'Just a chroma' because close to all release skins for new champions, are pretty bland and uncreative.

They started to try something new with the Cosmic Reaver skins, but the moment a clarity issue popped up (Xayah's feathers being moons) they just immediately dropped them and went back to the classic assets because they were too lazy to think of anything else.

Let's not forget that Zed only had the shockblade skin (not including the SKT Skin that was only temporarily available) for a LOOOONNGGG time, and he has always been a fan favorite. Sometimes we just have to wait it out for something that is worth it. (Championship Zed)
