Free Skin Rotation

Before any of you smart people say "but skins arent ment to be free, they need to be bought" yes, but so do champions.

I had an idea of adding a Free Skin Rotation. Basically if Gnar is free then Dino Gnar should be free to use that week, or if Kog'Maw maybe Pug'Maw (sometimes even a legendary/ultimate skin)

You're totally misinterpreting the post. Champions cost IP or RP, and yet 10 or so of them are free for a week every week. The OP is pitching the idea that the same treatment be given to skins.

On the whole, if skins had a free rotation as well, it would probably drive up sales of skins. A player may own Gnar, and then Gentleman Gnar goes on free rotation for a week, and the player falls in love with it. Rather than wait until god knows how long for it to go on rotation again to play it (bear in mind, there are a HELLUVA lot more skins than champs), that player may be more inclined to buy the skin if they liked playing with it.

Champs are necessary to play the game though skins arent. Rather than a truly new player starting the game with no knowledge of champs and getting a free champ there are free champs. Skins add nothing to the gane though.

Yeah that seems like a really cool idea though maybe only like once a month for a week because if it was every week people may be like, "Oh well I just wanted a skin and now skins are free to use all the time..." You get the point. But it'd be really cool because you could play a few games with he skin, decide if you like it or not. So yeah hopefully this happens.
