they have said they have one in the works many times but like many have said his animation messes the skin up.

Look... Zac is... difficult to make a skin for. Zac is a giant blob that takes a human-ish shape every now and again. Understandably, other than palette swaps, Zac skins are probably pretty rough to code and develop assets for. If you get a new Zac skin, It'll probably be quite expensive as well, like... an ultimate skin or something. It's probably why Zac hasn't gotten new skins since his only one that exists right now.

I understand it is tough but there needs to be a somewhat of a balance you can't have characters with 7-10 skins and a Character like Zac who is by the way My Main Character with in my opinion 2 skins. I think Pool Party Zac was a huge disappointment and did nothing to quench my thirst for a new Zac Look. I use Special Weapon Zac because it is so dope. I think they need to really give Zac some love and I agree with fact that it would be nice to get a definitive answer on is it in the works or they have nothing yet.

Look, I feel your pain. I love playing Lulu and her pool party skin was very disappointing for me as well.

What's this about balance? Skins are completely cosmetic; very rarely do they make a difference. Yeah, some skins choughsteelleigonluxcough change your particle effects, or others make the character model slightly smaller than the hitbox (damn you Tango Twisted Fate; the mark of a true elitist TF main). I mean, Riot isn't obligated to have the same number of skins for every champion. I mean, before Urf Tahm was announced, I thought he would be like Zac, doomed to having only his awful release skin.

Yeah, Zac could use more than a chroma pack, but think of it from riot's perspective: Zac players are in the minority, he doesn't see a lot of play, especially when compared to other more flashy champions, and he's a royal pain in the ass to develop art assets for. They actually have to pay someone to work on a new skin for this guy; if it doesn't pan out, Riot wastes money. Tahm, Leblanc, and Draaaaaaaaven are all popular for one reason or another, and guess who has skins on the PBE? Sometimes we get skins for oddball champions, but they're usually for champions with relatively stable play rates.
