Isn't it time for a new taliyah skin?

THCcaramelicious··27 votes·5,716 views

I mean taliyah has been released since 18-05-2016 if I'm not mistaken and still the only available skin is the freljord one. I would love to see some kind of dark side skin or a skin based on fire just like the frejlord skin which is based on ice. Let me know what you guys think on this!

Even if you ignore Yorick, then Illaoi and Aurelion Sol are more overdue for a second skin than Taliyah.

I really wanna see Arcade Taliyah, you can take a lot of creative liberty when it comes to her sleeves and I'd love to see what references they could make out of her abilities!

I'm upvoting it as I was thinking about it myself too.

Maybe she gets a summer skin. this theme would fit her more than illa.

id rather wait for the skins team to have some inspiration for a champ before making a skin. if they dont then we get some halfassed skins the creators aren't enthusiastic about

THCcaramelicious3 votes

Well lately they haven't been doing their best as omega squad skins are not really great...but being a one trick player (on my main accounts) and using the same skin for over a year is kind of boring..

That's a really half assed excuse people like you bought from Riot. It takes 5 minutes to spitball good ideas for a champ skin. Riot said it was too hard to come up with a Zac skin. I gave a bunch of ideas out of 2 minutes of thinking. These included bubble gum (one of his eventual chromas) and water (pool party came out 2 years later). Really obvious ideas to be sure but what did riot spend 2+ years coming up with? Exactly the same thing. The reason these champs don't get skins is obvious, it's only presented as being about writer's block because they don't want to come out and say the truth.

Taliyah has ONE skin less than Yorick. Yorick was released on 22/06/2011

THCcaramelicious3 votes

Yeah but yorick was barely played be4 the rework and it's not even played now.On the other hand taliyah is a solid pick in lcs and high elo. There are tons of champions who have been released in the past 2 years that got 3 or more skins.

4% pick rate on Taliyah in plat and higher.

Yorick is at 3%

I'll say it, RIP those champs getting skins

THCcaramelicious1 votes

I must have miscalculated the pick rate,I just see her being played in competitive play every time I'm watching and I thought she was highly picked(maybe just coincidence)

LostFr0st2 votes

One step at a time; let's get her on the free rotation first. (apparently august?)

THCcaramelicious1 votes

I think she has been on the free rotation before!even xayah and rakan have been

LostFr0st1 votes

Taliyah has not been free-to-play since June 14, 2016, (405 days).

There is a thread about it... well, many threads actually.

Illaoi: 11-24-2015

She NEEDS one xD

or better yet,

Yorick: 06-22-2011

Yeah... xD

THCcaramelicious2 votes

But riot just forgets about champs,I mean jinx had been 2 and a half years on the rift and got so many skins...

Fairyfleur2 votes

Eh, I feel a dark Taliyah just wouldn't work. However it would be nice if she got another skin!

THCcaramelicious1 votes

She's a mage,that can't control her power as the lore says so i bet she could lose the good spirit in some point,she's already stealing deers in her freljord skin lol

And î oop2 votes

oh i know what you mean so many champions have over 5 skins while others have 1. LIKE RIOT seriously

I don't quite get if you are being sarcastic or just commenting your opinion,however since there is freedom of speech i thought I would express my opinions on a topic I care for.

I really want to see a Crystal Taliyah skin, one that's made of a bunch of different gems. Just a cool thought

I love that idea! Her Q and ult could even have different colored gems for each stone depending on the direction they go with.

Be nice, but with the nerf she is getting on the pbe, here's the link(http://www.surrenderat20.net/2017/07/728-pbe-update.html#balance), i doubt she's getting one anytime soon.

THCcaramelicious1 votes

Well I think that riot wants us to not play the champ anymore,I rarely see her in silver to gold and that's where the majority of players are,she's one of the most fun to play champions(with the correct itemization she's actually op) but I think that mana cost is already high,level 6 mana without rushing any mana item is fairly enough for 1 full combo..

Sukishoo2 votes

No. Riot said they will be giving plenty of champions that deserve skins (aka haven't had them) something within the next 12 months.

http://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/2017/05/dev-state-of-skins/

So she totally fits that list. Besides, they have given out plenty of skins when they nerf champions (i.e. Fizz, Cait, Lee)

RainbowIcee1 votes

they said that like 2 years ago there's champions that have gotten more than 1 skin in that time frame and others that haven't even seen the "skin being developed " motto for them.

Skins are really only being released for events nowadays. So the next event she would qualify for would be Pool Party Taliyah.

I could also see a Jade skin, a Star Guardian skin, a Harrowing skin, maybe a PROJECT skin....

Sukishoo2 votes

Skins are not only released for events. The next patch 8.2 includes Arctic Ops Gragas which has no event tied to it.

SSmotzer1 votes

Yes, but those kind of one off skins don't happen that often, and when they do it's almost always just a single random skin. Besides, would you rather have a random one off skin like Amethyst or Lava, instead of an event skin? Maybe an Academy skin in September, or a joke skin in April.

Sukishoo2 votes

Uh...what? They happen enough, in-between event times. From last year to this year, we've seen: Pulsefire Caitlyn, God Fist Lee Sin, God Staff Jax, 2 Blitzcrank skins, Hextech Kog'maw, Mecha Rengar, Lancer Zero Hecarim, Chemtech Trynd, Dreadnova Darius, Dreadnova Gangplank, Beekeeper Singed, Archlight Yorick and Eterumn Cassiopiea. The eventual Amumu skin to replace his canned one will be another.

None of these were tied to events.

I would much rather wait until summer for Pool Party Taliyah than get a fire or gem themed skin next patch. Then Next year who knows, maybe Taliyah's popularity will spike after a small update or rework and we could get a Jade skin in February and a Harrowing skin in October. Maybe we could even see a Victorious Taliyah if she gets that popular. And again, I would much rather have an event theme than a one off, especially for Taliyah. Other champions could make much better use from a one off skin.

Really think, what kind of skin would best suit Taliyah? The first thing that comes to mind is surfer Taliyah, then after that a grave rider Taliyah, then Jade, school girl, and then something like crystal or obsidian. And I do not see Taliyah getting a God, Dreadnova, Chemtech, or Lancer skin any time soon.

Most people thought we'd get that last year, but there were no pool party skins. So we dunno if there will be this year or not. I'd like a PP skin for her myself but there are some other nice ideas out there besides obvious Event themed skins. I've seen one of an Elderwood Taliyah that would be really nice on her.

Maybe we could even see a Victorious Taliyah if she gets that popular.

She'll only get one AFTER a time she has other skins first as Riot doesn't want to release those as a champions second skin after what happened to Elise.

SSmotzer1 votes

From what it looks like the Elderwood skins are seasonal, so we would still have to wait for spring or fall for an Elderwood Taliyah. Just like the Arctic skins coming out in winter months.

Yeah, Riot basically makes a ton of skins in advance, so no doubt there are at least some rough drafts for Taliyah's next couple of skins. All we have to do is wait for the right time for them to release them.

Who knows, she may have a chance for dark star Unless Sol magically gets a skin for that.

In all seriousness however, I would love to see a Dark star Taliyah, it would look pretty amazing.
