Skins, Just Skins Please. Give the older ones some love too.

I believe it is unfair that champs like: Xayah Rakan and eventually Zoe who get released far after champs like: AurelionSol Kled Camille Ivern and Taliyah are able to receive skins before these champs. I can understand why but that doesn't excuse the fact that these champs have been released for over 2 years (give or take for some of them) and still have yet to receive a SINGLE skin save for their on-release skin. I would just kindly ask if you guys can finally give these older champs the loving they deserve and give them a skin. (Fixing some older skins on older champs like JarvanIV and Talon would be awesome well)

Riot is a small indie company so they need all the money they can get. That's why they only make skins for popular af champs for example: Ahri Annie Jhin Janna Lux MissFortune Rakan Xayah Syndra

It all deals with Popularity. Y/X and Zoe are very popular vs A. Sol, Kled, Cam, ect.

A.Sol has been confirmed to be getting a skin sometime this year though, Taliyah is also getting a Worlds skin, though not a true skin but she will at least have something new.

Riot's gotta make a profit so they target future hot picks or champs they will try to hype up for the lifeblood cash. I do want more skins on the smaller champs but it's just improbable at the moment (And also their cash revenue dropped with the introduction of loot crates remember).

Riot could make a lot of money from a camille skin Im willing to wager.

Alright, I get that Riot has to make money, same with every other company, but these popular champs are gonna continue to see play because of the 8,9,10,11 and 12 skins some of these champs have. COUGH COUGH Annie COUGH COUGH Ahri COUGH COUGH Teemo . But if your champ only has 1 skin like the lesser popular ones, of course ur not gonna see as much play, especially if its your ON RELEASE skin. Even then, camille and kled are seeing alot more play (not competitively but still).

People will always bring this up and I can't help but agree but more popular champs = more profit for Riot to make skins for them. That's just how it works. I also think it's unfair how Xayah, Rakan and even fucking Zoe are getting skins far beyond say Kled and Sol, but they're more popular or just have more frequent ideas for them first. Riot is a business and so they do need to make the biggest profit they can. That's just how business' work (even with use of shadier tactics in more recent times).

HOWEVER, a champion I feel should never go long without a new skin in a while. It will eventually make the small group of mains for those champs feel forgotten or unheard on purpose by Riot and sooner or later they may decide to switch to a new champ or may even leave. That's my opinion and thoughts at least.

As well, Sol has been confirmed to be getting a skin later this year & Taliyah is getting SSW skin if I recall. Riot still is (somewhat) getting around to these champs, but it still doesn't excuse them for ignoring them for so long over other champs that are newer or have received skins more recently.
