So, another Academia skinline...but still none for Taliyah?

So, Taliyah has now been available for 3 YEARS and has received 1 skin, which is an event based legacy skin. So, when a new academia skinline was revealed, I was excited at the prospect of Riot FINALLY giving her a skin that quite honestly would fit very well, I am once again met with disappointment. Guess I'll just wait until next patch cycle, just to have my hopes crushed again. At least Lux and Ezreal get new skins, Riot needs that cas- I mean, Lux and Ez really need a few more skins...

(Yes, this is a saltpost and yes, I'm biased)

She would have been great in Lux's position! But no, they still couldn't give it to her :(

Let's hope she might get a Star Guardian skin by the end of this year...

Xerath hasn't gotten a new skin since before Taliyah was a champion. So much missed opportunity with a Super Hero School theme...

At this point I think Taliyah is going to end up with a low effort skin later on. It'll be elderwood and they'll just add some vines on her rocks and change her outfit to green...

Well you could do what Crown did and go win Worlds because apparently if you want a champion that isn't a cash cow to get a skin that's what you have f$#@ing do around here.

I don't think she'd really fit in this theme, she doesn't actually use a weapon.

I'm hoping she gets Pool Party myself or maybe Star Guardian, since she isn't part of Academia we can still hope !!!

This reminds me, I need to learn to play Taliyah one day. Such a fun champion, but not the most pick-up-and-play one that has ever been released.

Has she always been extremely unpopular, or only after they drastically increased her (especially mid) skill floor?

Ezreal and Lux are both more popular, and more fitting for the skinline.
