Stop Showing favoritism in skins RIOT.

(note) I didn't know where to post this so i chose here XD I have been playing a fair amount of time, no I haven't been here since beta or even season 2 but I have been playing for a good while. And in this time I have noticed an annoying trend. I know riot isn't really a company to listen too much to it's community however I can still complain. The skin team needs to start creating and releasing skins for other champions. I hate that on some of my favorite champions I am stuck between the choice of 2-4 outdated skins. Cassiopeia, Yorick(getting a rework so they probably wont until that is done), Zyra and many others have received no or a single skin since I've started playing which to clarify I believe was around the end of season 3. Where as Ahri has gotten 3 and is rumored to get a 4th(arcade ahri could be a myth what evs) ashe 3, Ekko is relatively new and already has more skins available then zyra and yorick wtf. There are more examples of this kind of crap happening but i don't feel like pointing it all out. Summary stop denying the unpopular champs skins It's NOT helping them and isn't fair. bye Ps; this will be accurate after the Project skins are released ha. Also for those who get offended because you are a fan of these popular champs, don't be. I don't want them to take away their ability to have skins I just want more love towards other champs

ALSOOOO It would be nice if Riot would roast me and basically show my why i'm wrong.

They give the same champions skins every year.

My main doesn't even have a skin above 950.

Zyra is difficult to do skins for because according to KateyKhaos, she has a ton of models that need reskinning (seeds, 2 plants, death pod, herself), on top of particles, and as such, consumes a lot of creative bandwidth. That's not to say she won't get skins, it's just that she's more intensive than other champions. Cassiopeia is in a weird spot though. She needs a VU in my eyes, but I think they were content with her new textures. She may receive new skins, but the problem with her is that she's a difficult concept to work with. There's only so much you can do with a half snake gorgon.

I know the feeling... Still waiting for a high quality Twitch skin :/ The guy has 7 skins of which only 2 are even available at any given time....

From what I've seen, they do give those champs that actually need a decent skin one every once in a while, but like you pointed out; not often. It really just comes down to money I think; though this argument goes out the window when you look at skin lines like that pirate one a year or so ago (seen like 1-2 of those only).

heres an idea, pool party zyra. have her have a sun flower (brighter them) Make here look more human in some form of bathing suit. Her plants could be little sun flowers with maybe pool floatys or life preserver rings. make the roots look like a mini wave. her ult could look like a pool bursting out of the ground. She could totally have a splash art with leona in it.

I agree, delete the project NOT kata skin and give it to Yorick or Zyra. TY

It's because riot isn't stupid. They won't release skins to unpopular champions or shitty ones like yorick, aatrox etc. thanks to lc$bigplay$

Who the fuck is Yorick ?? Is he the Aatrox rework? Wait wasn't Aatrox the Yorick rework? ??!?!?

Riot is pretty greedy, you either believe that or you don't. We know they make hella money and they can't even spare some extra work for more content. I know that they make skins for Pop champs more often becuase $$$ and I'm annoyed by it.

Out of all the champs I currently own 7 of 33 (Including Project: Ashe) have received new skins since I started playing League (since around March). I've only bought 1 of those skins. Yeah, it's annoying that you feel left out just because you latched onto the more unpopular champions.

It's as if the coolest part of league is getting denied to you every patch.

Zyra has three skins. Ekko now has three skins once the PROJECT ones are on the live server.

They're a business. They don't charge you to play or require a monthly subscription. They get money by selling skins etc. They are going to choose the most popular champions to get new skins because they want to make money.
