The completely forgotten skin line

I will get straight to the point, I knew of this long ago, wrote once about it, but I am doing it again, due to the video, that Riot has released just this day. '' Skins & Events in Season 2020 | Dev Video '' They said at 2:40-2:50 for ''ideas'' around skins.

So to the one skin line that is forgotten. Easy, the counterpart of ''Infernal'', that being ''Glacial'' now why am I saying forgotten, also simple, the last skin that was released for ''Glacial'' was 6 years, 8 months, 17 days ago, or in total 2452 days. And it has barely any skins, if you don't count the ''Ice Drake Shyvana'' that was the latest in 2013, it's even longer then, but it has up to 6 skins, and only 3 true ''Glacial'' named skins.

And Infernals have 20+ skins and they have quite the record of releasing, in 2019 there were 3 new ones added, with the release of Galio, Shen, Varus. And how about that, Shen also has one of the few Glacial skins and he got the counterpart of it for no reason, kinda of a slap to the face to the ''Glacial'' skin line in my opinion.

So to the video saying that you'd (Riot) like to hear thoughts of new skins or old skin lines being revived, well here's my idea. Glacials, they need new ICE power to combat the already too much having FIRE power Infernals.

I'd love this. I play aram a lot and I like having skins that fit in with the snow and ice on the map. I bought a lot of Snowdown skins because of this as well. It's an incredible shallow,niche reason to get a skin but I find myself feeling pretty meh on a lot of skins despite how nice some of them are just because I kinda like embracing the whole arctic aesthetic. That or maybe I'm trying to do winter cammo or something with all the white and blues. Either way, more ice please.

I liked Snowdown, mainly for 2 reasons. First being I was born in December so that kinda influenced me, and second being their spell effects. The Glacial is a more serious skin line and I think they're different enough to continue them both.
