I waited 2 years for this?

Dear Riot,

When you first released Skarner, he was just about one of the coolest champions I've seen in a good while as I am a huge fan of spamming buttons and arachnids. When Skarner was first released I thought, "okay, the Earthrune is not too bad and I'm sure I can expect a bad ass skin for such a bad ass champion sometime soon." Months go by. All that happens to this awesome arachnid is he gets whacked with the nerf stick to death by Garfield himself.

Then, you finally show a shed of hope to at least play him for his awesome looks by spoiling oh so teasingly in Battlecast Prime Cho'gath's splash art. Oh, the wait and anticipation I felt for two years.

Finally, just today my friend texts me with news that surrenderat20 has released new info on the upcoming patch. He knew to tell me asap because I've been dying for the BC Skarner skin for TWO-FRIGGIN-YEARS. With excitement and anticipation I load up the surrenderat20 page and scroll down to find...a heaping pile of CHAIN-SAW-CRAP. Is Skarner trying to be the next star of a Friday the 13th movie? WHAT THE HELL!!! Even a skin that wasn't spoiled and did not expect at all, Battlecast Kog'Maw, looks friggin awesome and you make Battlecast Skarner into THAT??

Thank you Riot, for crushing my two year dream of getting a super cool arachnid, and reminding me that in life you never get what you expect. In fact, life will kick you in the nuts harder the more hopeful you are.

I'm glad a grown adult can throw a fit over something that they have the choice to pay real money for or if not to pay real money on something. If you don't like how it looks. Don't buy it. Simple. Take a look at the Battle Cast Prime Cho'Gath splash art again. Skarner looks exactly the same there, down to the pointed metallic harpoon tail. Sorry if you got your hopes up because you couldn't look closely enough.

Dude, he's got a harpoon tail and chainsaws for arms. How anyone wouldn't want that is beyond me
