When you're wearing a skin, especially legendary and ultimate,shouldn't spell icons and mugshots change? I mean Dunkmaster Darius doesn't even hold an axe anymore and that's his icon. Theres also Gent Cho's mug,and well basically every other skin. thoughts?

Would probably require too much extra work, they'd increase skin prices, and it's not really a necessary change. Not to mention it would probably throw off newer players.

I'd be all for it, but I doubt it'd happen :/

Surprise Party Fiddlesticks has new ability icons at 975 RP, so the price wouldn't go up

mugshots yea, that can be done without creating new thumbnails for spells.

creating THAT many icons isn't really efficient, when their artists are already working on other things.

somebody made Final Boss Veigar custom ability icons in like a day after his release, i'm sure skilled professionals could do it much faster. it's legendary skin only anyway.

Of course it would be easy, anyone could do it.

Is it worth it for an artist who's current job is remastering more than half the champions in the game to look remotely presentable in the new map (that is also being worked on by them) to make 30-40 custom icons that all need to be different from the current ones, show the ability's function and effect well, and be easy to read by quick glances? It's not, its why studios have priorities so they don't do this specific thing and make the way more noticeable and impactful changes take (even a bit) longer, because its a pipeline, and if that pipe is smaller, then its slower.
