Elderwood skins (Why Ahri?)

TyrinGlitch·Aug 25, 2019·3 votes·1,114 views

so with Elderwood Ahri coming to PBE I feel like I should mention that that will be her 11th skin meanwhile there are a plethora of really great concepts for skins all over these discussion boards that people would want to see, hell Ornn only has one skin but before he even got thought of for anything Zoe got a new skin. There are a lot of champions that could use some new skins seem to get left behind so they can give more skins to champs who already have a bloated mass of skins already for them just look at Lux

hell just for an example of a different champ that could have used an Elderwood skin look at Kindred https://www.deviantart.com/vegacolors/art/Elderwood-Kindred-Concept-Page-587554881

this concept actually looks really good though may need a bit of tweaking is a hell of a lot better done then then the bootleg chroma they gave Ahri

Money is why

wish I had something to go against that but meanwhile achievements behind a paywall as well...

riot is releasing skins for 5 unpopular champions. Releasing 1 skin they know will sell well is a pretty good business decision, especially seeing she does fit the theme as well.

I can see the business decision out of that one actually, though Veigar is decently popular I would argue I see him around a bit more then Galio and shen at least

Why not? 5 unpopular champions got skins , 1 popular champion has to be there to sell the skins , otherwise it would be a loss to the company Why did you decide to post that now? it's been already discussed a lot

It's been already discussed a lot that's how it should be in every skin line , a popular champion must be there to cover for the resouces Besides Ahri Besides this is Ahri's 10th skin , not 11th , Prestiege is just a chroma with some edits , not an actual skin And even if she gets her 10th skin , there are 20+ champions in the game that got the same number of skins as her or more

Hmmm I suppose that it isn't as bad of a way of releasing skins when you put it out there like that, I would still like to see a new Kindred, Ornn or Rek'Sai skin sometime though, those champs have a lot of potential for great skins

I think we have all come to realize that there is not equity when it comes to skins, much to the chagrin of many of us. Ahri players buy skins, simple as that. Kaisa and Irelia frequently get new skins for the same reason.

sounds about right though we have gotten some nice creative skins before, this new Ahri one just feels kinda lazy

Elderwood Kindred, Rek'sai or Ornn would've looked so good

I really do not see Rek'sai played at all anymore, real shame aswell she's a cool champion

Yeah And imagine elderwood Rek'sai Made of some old tree and just mushrooms and flowers growing on her. Like the tree in elderwood bard's splash art

Ooooh that would be really cool if that was the case!

to be honest, that skin is hot as fk, I have a star gaurdian ahri, didnt buy the kda but I kinda want the elderwood ahri but yes, I hated it too, it really upsets me or us that riot only cares about ... of cause like we all do, understandable, but they thought a gorgeous pretty can fool us around is almost arrogant in some way. They knew community will be mad 100% yet they still released it, because they knew the fact that everybody will like it and everybody will buy it. After a while of complaining, it will be silence again. Sure, marketing, I get it, but this company is dying by doing so, since not the skin teams, balancing teams are doing the same.

Ouch that pretty on the nose there if I am being honest which is really sad

To be fair 4 unpopular champions are getting skins this patch so it makes sense to have a Ahri skin in with them. But Kindred should of gotten a Elderwood skin for sure.| Or Ornn.
