Christmas puns Riot hasn't used yet

I had a discussion recently with friends about how some puns could make amazing skins, skins RIot hasn't created yet. I could make a huge story of this but I think it may be best to let my drawings speak for themselves. I present christmas Eve (a concept I thought of myself, then googled and found out other artists had also taken a liking to) and candy Kayn (this one wasn't my idea, credit for the concept goes to Ariake, I merely drew it) https://i.imgur.com/yvhJKUp.png https://i.imgur.com/DKTmjl0.png

I can definitely see “Candy Kayn” as a future skin for sure

I hope so too! The only reason I finally got the courage to post these drawings is a friend and the hope Riot will see it and use the concept for a skin one day :)

Unfortunately Rioters have stated that the pun doesn't translate well so they aren't doing it.

Christmas Evelynn has been around since Evelynn has, it's old news at this point. Candy Kayn has also been an idea thrown around since Kayn's release as well. Your artistic versions of these ideas are new, but not the names.

Christmas Evelynn won't be done for the "Christmas" reason. It's one thing to have "Santa" or "Elf" as these concepts are detached from the religious affiliation of the holiday, but "Christmas" is not, and as such, they wouldn't be able to be released under that name. That's the major reason why that skin concept has never gotten any traction over the years.

The problem is Riot avoids putting certain names into their games for champions because it might translate into something inappropriate in foregin languages,

For all of you guys saying "it doesn't translate well". Would anyone care to fill me on on why "Beemo" is ok but "Candy Kayn" or "Christmas Eve" isnt?
