Question About the Star Guardian Skins

Why is riot pushing out so many of these skins quickly. Don't get me wrong the skins look good and if I had to spend money I would.

When the first wave of Star Guardians came out (excluding the solo one with lux) I was like alright now we have a crew and perhaps I can get into a game with all of them. And well this should be the direction of any solo skin series where there should be a push for a crew of them to be played together. But since the SG crew release was a big success, it rushes out another crew for the sake of money. And well it seems rushed because the "epic skins" don't have a solid foundation of why they would be included. Not to mention the problems that have been occurring within the game itself. To me

  • Ez was forced in there cus "diversity".

  • Syndra I always felt she was a power hungry person and well there was more potential for a dark star skin or a star forge skin rather than a star guardian

  • Raka sort of makes sense but its on wobbly foundations more because the number of skins she already has

  • Ahri is basically a a gold digger where she uses those who fall victim to her. So I don't know why the SG Crew would invite her.

  • MF. didnt she rise to the top by backstabing her rivals?

I have also heard that Lore doesn't constitute skins and vise versa, but viegar's lore provides a great foundation for the justification of a battle boss skin. Lore may not influence skins and vise versa but it locks in the reason's why those skins should be on that champion.

This can be compared to the Project skins where there was another crew released after the original crew. I have the Ashe Fiora and Lucian skins of those, and i only play with those skin the most because its the best looking skins i have. BUT if you give more and more champs with the same themed skins it undermines the group of a collective. Some of the biggest hype and want of the Ultimate legendary skins are both because if the time put in and the exclusivity. I'll tell you this DJ Sona wouldn't be so interesting if there were other champs with a dj skin.

let me know if anyone else shares this opinion cus I can't be alone.

Read this interview: https://www.riftherald.com/platform/amp/interviews/2017/8/8/16113414/star-guardian-lol-skins-event-ahri-ezreal-miss-fortune-soraka-syndra

Gives explanation for those things

Also you are using League lore to explain Star Guardian lore. Those are two separate universes

I just cannot wrap my head around MF, Ahri, and Syndra being a SG when they have so many other champions to choose from. I also hate how Ez, what you think as well, was only picked because he is male. What about all the other champions in this game that fits the theme better and could probably do more justice. It makes you wonder. Did they only pick these champions because they wanted another reason to make a high dollar skin for a popular champion? It looks so.
