If we purchase recolor to basic skin for all champions, and it costs not as much, it would be great. Since it's only recoloring, it shouldn't be a lot work. Sounds profitable?

This blue Leona by megaman9153 http://img2.leaguecraft.com/skins/asset/skin_1403960401_760px_43503_1.jpg
Please rito, not too much to ask for?
No, just because this will simply lose the overall character itself, i would like a recolor system, i know a big percentage of the LoL community will want such thing, but in my opinion, this should just stay back. The point of this recoloring is that if someone wants to change their characters color by their likes, which i'd like, but having to see a blue Leona like the one you pointed out with the same kind of effects will just ruin stuff with her theme and it wont look Leona anymore! I dont hate, as far as im a part of this community, i can say that this will just lose the effectiveness of the character as i've said. Having such a recoloring, as far as by the best of us, wont take place just because there are many skins that just have a recolor on their second/third/etc. part-time skin, such as the part where Zac/SW Zac is basically a recolor with spikes, so having such a system, will just eliminate this skin and make it a low tier like these ones will be! In some other points of view, this might be great, some characters might look awesome indeed, so yeah its kinda 50/50 for each sides, which are 'having' and not 'having' this system. Its kinda 'meh' to see a Blue Leona like this one or a Purple Kog'Maw, but in other ways, as i've said, will be great - Lucians recolor type, when they showed us the example, was great! So i dont know, this is Riots game, they can do everything with it so far, so.. Btw the Leona recolor and the Zac recolor are done pretty good, nice work to the creator! :))
As much as I would like to have (good!) recolor skins, there are two big issues. Splash Arts and company resources. Creating a skin to be sold is more than tweaking a few colors, it has to have a new splash. So not only are we taking time out of the skin team to make more than 100 good looking skins for very little RP a pop, for each one to go through PBE for testing purposes as well, but we are also looking to get one of the Splash Art designers (Or all of them even) to work on, again, over 100 new splash arts each for minimal RP purchases.
All in all, this would delay ANY OTHER GOOD skins that we would get otherwise, like DJ Sona for example, for several months if not a whole year. They can't just do a poor job on the skins to rush them out either, Quality Over Quantity, I shouldn't have to explain that though.
You say that. The punchline is all of the Gen I skins are basically recolors of the base skin. Changing the model is a relatively novel idea.
