Older and forgotten champs unite... RIP Mordekaiser, Skarner, and Xerath. And Ornn too.

Morde should be getting one this year, as he has his update last year. So it will be soon enough.

Daniel Klein champions don't get skins. In Kayn's case though, it's not really Klein's fault, but the lack of foresight in that any Kayn skins require 3 entire models rigged and mapped and its no coincidence that his first and only post-release skin was Legendary; It's not worth the development cost to make a Kayn skin at Epic or Rare price points, and will almost never turn a profit.

Sugar Rush Braum, evelynn, and Zilean combined were probably less, or the same, work a Kayn skin would cost.

The problem with Kayn is the fact that they don't have to just come up with and make 1 skin. They have to come up with and make 3 matching skins, for all of his forms So, they can either spend time making 1 skin for Kayn Or they can make 3 skins for different champs

but they did elementalist lux that has 10 different forms and probably only 10% of people who actually own it, bought it, everyone else got it from a chest or so.

It was an ultimate skin, so of course it's more worth it for them And Lux is popular af in China etc, so i'm pretty sure more than 10% of people bought it

Just like Kazekiba already said "It's not worth the development cost to make a Kayn skin at Epic or Rare price points, and will almost never turn a profit."

It's not like he desperately needs a skin right now, unlike some other champs

so which champion would need another skin, miss fortune? riven?, they should stop thinking everytime about profit, i mean even tho it means a lot, the community would like some things too ;)

All of the champs in the 1600+ club Ornn definitely Kalista (she only has 1 non-esport skin)

But money is money. Popular champs getting skins brings money for riot. It's sad but true

Unfortunately, Popularity sells and it sells because they are popular. So, the more people continue to love champions like Miss Fortune, Ezreal, Ahri, Riven, ect the more we will see skins for them over champions like Kalista, Ornn, Skarner, Karthus, ect.

Kayn I'd say is a popular champion but the first skin he got post release was a Legendary, so that is a lot higher up than what most others get. Only Rumble had the honor of getting a Legendary as his first post release skin before Kayn, and he wasn't even nearly that popular. But when they do that for a champion it usually takes them awhile to get another skin out for them unless they are highly popular like say MF who got an Ultimate in 2018 alongside a variant SG Pajama skin, then a Halloween + Prestige Variant in 2019.
