Illaoi still have 1 launch skin while some new champions already extra skins

All new champions get a launch skin

Then after some time , these new champions get a skin added to their collection

But illaoi was denied while Jhin have 2 extra skins

In that case, two possiblities :

Illaoi is slowy becoming the new Yorick, not getting skins and ignored because "something will change" [sg-ahri-3]
Something awesome is awaiting for Illaoi , and it's taking time [sg-ahri-2]

( poor Illaoi :v )

Nothing really strange, Jhin is the most popular and best designed champion of S6.

Illaoi and Sol are the only 2 that really need skins in 2017 anyway, even Taliyah can wait for early 2018.

Ya Jhin is really fun

Taliyah says hi and Jhin can sit down (about the best designed).

Illaoi is a token champion, so RIOT can point at one Champion to say "See, we dont sexualise every female champion!", spo they dont really care about that Champion now that its there.

a token champion

Ho, well that's kinda right

not to mention her launch skin is trash

AhrisSep 23, 20174 votes

It is hard to make an appealing skin for Illaoi. Her playrate and prob her skin sell rate(her launch skin) are both probably really low. In terms of investment, it is a bad investment.

SalsonSep 23, 20173 votes

In terms of investment, it is a bad investment.

This is actually a common missconception.

Every skin is profitable, her launch skin probably paid itself 5 times over. However compare it to Star Guardian skins which, again probably, paid themselves 30-40 times over in half a year.

It led Rito to a simple decision: -Take on of the most profitable skinlines -Take some of the most profitable champions -Make a mode SG skins paid themselves 20 times over the even alone.

Launch skins are "opposite" chromas

It's not a bad thing, but it's a fact

Chembaron YamadaSep 23, 20172 votes

Wait, does that really work with every champ? Can you do the same with for example Camille, Kled and Ornn?

NecrozardSep 24, 20171 votes

Lucky you, i have Kindred right there , and Aatrox too [sg-ezreal]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/293500383769133056/355033672606547968/image.png Kindred :

White => Black
Black => White
Blue => Red

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/293500383769133056/355013530073825282/image.png Aatrox :

Black => White
Red=> Blue

Camille and Kled are different, they are "themed" skins

The PROGRAM skinline is about "humanoid" that are not humans

Camille : hextech humanoid Lissandra : iceborn humanoid Soraka : celestial humanoid

So you can expect human-sized weirdos to become PROGRAM

( especially if they use magic) Like Elise , Ahri, Vladimir but not Cassiopeia because she already have a sci-fi skin

Kled don't follow rules xp

It's supposed to be impossible because he have a battlecast skin :v

Battlecast / PROJECT / Programm / Mecha share the same universe

Chembaron YamadaSep 24, 20172 votes

Do you have a source where this is stated? I always thought that it is not directly confirmed by Riot.

But we need a new Urgot skin. [sg-soraka]

Braum is a "dragon slayer" , i would rather see Illaoi fighting dragons with him than ... Summoning drakonic parts to slay enemies

Anything dragon-related to Illaoi would be cool

Well, both Yorick and Cassiopeia have gotten skins recently, so I'd wager she's probably either next on the chopping block or pretty damn close. Also, Jhin has only received one skin that Riot had control of: Blood Moon. They had to make a release skin, so they created High Noon. Part of the reward for winning Worlds is choosing which champions get the esports skins for that year, and Bang wanted Jhin. Your point still stands, but I thought I'd mention it.

Master Yi and Ahri getting skins every four months xd

Maybe have her have some sort of skin swap thing with Braum? https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/gcEaERyT-divine-priest-braum-and-frost-wielder-illaoi-skin-concepts

Like this, maybe? I don't have art for them, since I can't draw for shite, but they could work as a skin concept.

NecrozardSep 23, 20171 votes

They DO fit together on the physical and personnality side

"Divine Priest Braum" , he already have a RPG-themed skin He's more lacking a "robotic" rather than a skin for a "one-time" skinline

ADC YuumiSep 23, 20172 votes

I think next Illoai skin will be a new ultimate skin. She's a powerhouse tank which can easily 1 v 5 without breaking a sweat. Just like how Ezreal can get a triple kill with his ult, Lux can penta with her ult, Udyr can finish off anything with enough time, Sona has an ultimate which with one Q grants a pentakill. So maybe look forward to Alpha Dreadnova Illaoi? Dark Star Illaoi? Bewitching Illaoi? I don't know, but it has to be at least a legendary skin, I promise you.

NecrozardSep 23, 20171 votes

Dreadnova Illaoi

A sci-fi or high-tech themed skin would definitly be welcome there :'v

[zombie-nunu-bummed]

Chembaron YamadaSep 23, 20173 votes

Highly doubt that she gets an ultimate skin. Until now, all ultimate skins were for fairly old champions. Illaoi is too new for that treatment.

SukishooSep 23, 20172 votes

Illaoi is on the list so she will be getting one soon enough.

NecrozardSep 23, 20171 votes

What list ?

SukishooSep 23, 20171 votes

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

I feel like we’re tackling some major pain points this year and feel confident committing to you that you will be receiving skins for Cassiopeia, Viktor, Yorick, Illaoi (and more) over the next 12 months. We know there are others you would add to that list; they are likely on our list as well.

Was made a little over 4 months ago, and since then we've had Cassi and Yorick skins. So she is coming.
