The official "CHAMPIONS THAT NEED SKINS" Thread

Desiderium·Jun 4, 2015·4 votes·818 views

Last skin release date: May 5th, 2014.

Skin tier: 750

Additional notes: The skin is a legacy skin, meaning it will only be released once a year. Zed is the only champion released in 2012 that only has a single actual skin. Additionally, Thresh and Elise also suffered from this issue, which is why they got skins soon after they received their legacy skins. Zed was, for all intents and purposes, forgotten.

Last skin release date: N/A

Additional notes: New champions have a certain point in the near-future where it's acceptable of them to receive a new skin since they are released with just one. Azir is rapidly approaching this state, as is Bard. Ekko remains months off.

Let's think of some more.

Honestly Zac would have been a perfect pick for the chroma packs I think

Yorick

Last Skin Released: Feburary 2012, Pentakill

Additional notes: It is safe to say Yorick is long overdue for a new skin, and with a lot of potential for a skin it's honestly mind-boggeling why he hasn't gotten a new one. Oh and his Pentakill skin was not retouched when Smite and Ignite album was released.

I believe the main reason Yorick is so heavily underskinned is because he is currently in line for a rework. Making a skin only to redo all the visual effects again in such a short time is not really intuitive.

Azir and Zed do not suffer from this issue.

anyone notice ever since SKT Zed and SKT Lee Sin came out, Lee Sin has 4 skins came out (including chroma pack) while Zed hasn't got a single one. And before the SKT T1 event, Lee Sin has 5 (4 skins in less than one year time span). To sum it all up, Zed has 2 skins, Lee Sin has 10. This is so messed up Rito... item 3070 Zed

I never said any of that isn't true. By all means, the champions I listed are in need of skins. This is not disagreeable. Just because I don't mention other champions that need skins doesn't mean I deserve to be downvoted. In fact, if you people read the very last line of the OP, it's actually asking you to list off more champions in need of skins. My intention wasn't to make a list on my own; it was to get the community together to make one. And I get downvoted.

As for your comment about Zed: Yes it's been a year since he had one, but this is a completely and utterly moot argument. Because Lee Sin got a skin at the same time as Zed did and now Lee Sin just got another one. Why would you bother validating Zed not having a skin if you're not going to complain about the fact Lee just got one? Exactly.

On top of that, Zed doesn't have any skins that change his particles. Lee Sin does and still got a skin before Zed.

So, yeah. Moot argument.

Oh and, don't forget Lee got a chroma pack (3 more skins) since then as well.

Zyra Zac Diana Morgana Lissandra are ones I think need one soon

Beau NuggetzJun 4, 20151 votes

other than Zac, the others got a skin last year. it should be Zac Zed Yorick Taric Urgot

SnugglePuggle94Jun 4, 20151 votes

They are still the ones with the fewest skins so even if they had one last year they still deserve another.

Beau NuggetzJun 5, 20151 votes

yes they deserve another....but not before Zac Zed Taric . Yorick and Urgot might not get another skin until their VU

NeameanJun 4, 20151 votes

Kassadin last skin 2011 Kennen last skin 2011 Taric last skin 2011 (up for VU though)

I feel like Chogath should be getting one pretty soon. Zac even though I don't play him, one is pretty overdue. Kayle really needs a new skin imo. Almost all of her skins are exactly the same just small things changed. MasterYi hasn't received one in a while and with his fan base im pretty surprised about that. Leona could use a new one too Poppy is way over due for a cool skin. Or at least some splash art updates. Orianna is also a champion that I don't play but believe needs some skin love. Her last skin was during the snowdown and not available. Would be nice to have a new permanent skin for her. Especially with all the beautiful ones i see on this site.
