Okay, I know, there have been hundreds of threads about this, but Riot can you at least explain to us your views on this?

I understand that the Pool Party skins weren't meant to be released every year. It was posted a while back, but why were there so many champions on the splash that never got a chance? Some of these champions (like Zac for example) barely have a lot of skins in the first place and you're refusing to make Pool Party Skins for them?

Can you at least tell us why exactly you're so against making Pool Party skins for other champions?

Riot loves their players right? Riot loves getting money from skins right? Riot loves making really cool looking skins right? So what's stopping you? :/ . . . . . . . This post is about the question above ^, everything below this line is just for the knowledge-hungry who want to know more about the possible skins.

For people who are interested here is a list of possible Pool Party Skin candidates (in alphabetical order):

Ahri Ahri: http://gyazo.com/0133a4fe4998b49d836b8a9d4e4253a6 (In the Original artwork) http://gyazo.com/bee2882faca293cab4613cf120aceb20 (In the Original Renekton artwork) http://gyazo.com/6b9de9ffce697db05072905bbd04785f (In the Original Ziggs artwork) Her magical orb could be made of water!! Think about it.

Ashe Ashe: http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/351/e/4/lol___pool_party_ash_by_tozaro-d6y9x78.jpg (Fan-made example) This one is pretty tough since Arrows can't be made into water-y things, but the image above does a pretty good job of one! Plus, Ashe is a frost archer, frost is technically water.

Garen Garen: http://gyazo.com/9de8a174c1840ab149d23d48ef000180 (In the Original Ziggs artwork) He looks like a surfer!

Gragas Gragas: http://gyazo.com/52746cf44a0a91297080cbdf3e3c02be (In the Original Renekton artwork) HE CAN THROW WATER BALLOONS LIKE ZIGGS! Imagine how big of a splash his ult would make.

Katarina Katarina: http://gyazo.com/a6569802e9a2d3699c9e15f97f0ca8e9 (In the Original Ziggs artwork) I don't really like the fan arts of her using inflatable daggers, they're not party enough for my taste. Instead, she should have like popsicles or something. They're much more pool-party-y :3

Lux Lux: http://gyazo.com/d651416acd68d72246e0f01b0ce4e75b (In the Original artwork) Honestly Lux is a hard one since her spells would be kind of difficult to make water-y, but she is in the artwork.

Morgana Morgana: http://gyazo.com/97d085fb79d531496bd279daefc1395d (In the Original artwork) Same deal with Lux, I suppose her W could be water-y but that's it really.

Nidalee Nidalee: http://gyazo.com/72eaa5b8ff70871973159a3ac12c5d49 (In the Original Lee artwork) You can't just imply a relationship between Nid and Lee and NOT TELL US ABOUT IT RIOT lore-related nerd-rage Give us a Nidalee skin where she throws an umbrella or something! And don't tell me you don't think a kitty jumping in a pool isn't adorable.

Orianna Orianna: http://gyazo.com/1d28f539f901e3b462ceff4bdbe26c60 (In the Original Lee artwork) COME ON EVERYONE LOVES THIS SKIN! 10/10 people would buy.

Vayne Vayne: http://gyazo.com/cd90d8e9dde97252f293a3956f570bb1 (In the Original artwork) http://i.imgur.com/kmePBMe.jpg (Fan-made example) Vayne's, like any shooting adc, could shoot with a water-gun-type weapon. This is easily done.

Zac Zac: http://gyazo.com/94e5456beca487cc2dbab34ef5fc0023 (In the Original Renekton artwork) Come on, Zac has near to no skins and this one is awesome!

i have a way better idea than water for ahri's orb... a bathing ball or beach ball w/e they're called (example of what i mean- http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/x/bathing-ball-10269156.jpg )
