http://apollo-eu-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/1433269098/dragonmaster-swain.jpg Where is this bloody skin? It was promised bloody agrees ago for Christ sake. ( AS IN 3 FUCKING YEARS) http://www.surrenderat20.net/2013/02/morello-wants-to-do-dragon-master-swain.html

For anyone who CBA to click the link here's the text Morello had some good news for fans of the community created "Dragonmaster Swain" skin idea. "We will do this skin - I'm sure of that." When asked about a time frame, he then followed up with: "After - Swain doesn't actually need a new skin (<3 Tyrant), we'd be doing this one JUST to meet the community request. It's a cool skin idea, so we'll make it." Here is the massive community thread about Dragonmaster Swain, although Morello was very clear about setting the communities expectations on this one: "This is important - and I hate to be this guy - but I specifically will not agree to meet anything laid out in a spec. I think setting that expectation that we'll implement, line-by-line, a suggestion is really dangerous.

We will make Dragon Master Swain, and it will be amazing. Will it be the exact same as every piece of the idea? Not likely."

Shelved atop the highest pedestal, just like every good idea here on the concept boards.

It's been three years since Any Swain Skin. Tyrant Swain was made three years ago, was his only skin after release and it is nowhere on par with Star Guardian Lux or any of the recent skins! Riot, get off your butts and give us a Swain Skin already! If not, explain why we have had to wait three years, and why we are still waiting while champions like Kalista and Ekko aren't even a year old and are already getting more skins!

It's been so long that I read threads about it on the old GD, and had forgotten about it even being a thing.

Probably what Riot wanted - hoping people would forget.

Then again with the turnover rate at riot the past few years, and the amount of artists and such that have come and gone, I'm not surprised it hasn't gotten done. That and, I wonder if Morello even works at Riot anymore, because he hasn't posted on the boards (at least not in an obviously visible way) in over a year.

They probably couldn't decide which tier they wanted it to be, if it's Ultimate it's possible Udyr and Sona felt like better/easier options at the time. It must take a lot of assets to go from a bipedal creature to something like a Dragon, that's a full Champion (like Shyvana) which take 9 months to concept and create (Swain has a kit, but being an Ultimate doesn't make it easy). Then you had skin release schedules, you need a team that can take on the project and want to do it, and then the long process of creating it. If we assume it's an Ultimate, it would be started after Sona, and Ultimates take at least 12 months to create.

Riot doesn't like to talk about skins in development before they're ready. Also DM Swain is essentially male Shyvana with different spells, Riot doesn't like overlap in Champions. So there are a lot of factors influencing it.
