Cycle through champions that need new skins

Mercazo··2 votes·501 views

I'm seeing the same champions get new skins while there are other champs that are in dire need of new skins. I feel like it would be nice if Riot could cycle through champions in a rotation to release skins to make it more fair and balanced.

Irelia Aatrox Alistar Amumu Caitlyn Corki Cassiopeia Ezreal Galio LeeSin Vladimir Vi Zac Zilean Blitzcrank Swain imo should come first.

Aatrox Galio are about to be reworked so no skins there (think Swain too but not confirmed)

Shoehorning champions into a skin isn't a good way to go, regarding quality: "Let's make a skin for X" is much harder and ultimately will yield a worse result, than going "Lunar Revel is here, which champions would fit a warring kingdom skin?"

Corki, EZ, and Vi just got skins

Irelia, Aatrox, Cait, Galio, Zac, Zil all just got skins with in the last year im pretty sure.

Zac's last skin was Poolparty Zac, released in June 2015. And he just has a total of 2 skins. I think he deserves a new one.

I've also had a list of champions that actually need skins for a while now. Highest priority is based on time since last skin, no. of skins (available/ unavailable) and quality of skins. Mostly. Cassiopeia Evelynn Mordekaiser Swain Twitch Urgot Viktor Yorick

Actually been able to take 2-3 off the list in the last year; so Riot sort of care :)

Evelynn Urgot are scheduled for VGU, no point in making a new skin when you soon have to do it again. Yorick just got reworked Swain Mordekaiser are rumored to get a rework after the next wave

Only legimate cases are Cassiopeia Twitch Viktor Twitch has the most skins amongst them (yes legacy, but he still has them) Leaving only Cass and Viktor to really deserve a skin, however these two have quite the problems with skins considering their appearence is really specific

Agree with everything on top. Still have them on my list despite their circumstances because... they do need the skins :) Probably a biased Twitch main, but the lack of a high quality skin and hence 7 years of green auto attacks is pretty disturbing personally. As for Cass and Vik, if Riot actually put the effort in it shouldn't be too hard. Especially given the amazing quality we saw in 2016.

Yes they do need the skins, but they need the VU first IMHO I'd like to ask what amazing quality skins you refer to (considering they are purely subjective), I also dislike the idea that Riot isn't putting effort into making skins, as skin creation as a creative process is more about finding ideas and working with them than a linear process.

To my list of skins...

-Arcade skins -Project skins -Elementalist lux -Lunar revel skins (cait and morg ones) -Star guardian skins

There's probably more, but personally these skins were all high quality, well crafted, great skins. So do you disagree on the quality of last years skins?

Okay don't really disagree (would add Dark Star and Worldbreaker), but there is a trend amongst them:

-Arcade skins -Project skins -Elementalist lux -Lunar revel skins (cait and morg ones) -Star guardian skins

are all human (+yordle) skins (apart from Arcade Heca and corki, but they reference racing games and space shooter) Which brings us to the problem that it is much easier to make a skin for a human (+yorlde) champion than a humanoid one. Viktor has a minot problem with his mechanical arm, mask and scepter, but Cass and Twitch are really limited because of their very specific appearence (apart from desperado all Cass skins are just different snake lady myths)
