All this time without a Vlad skin makes me think Riot has something bigger in store

POV story during Noxus update?

VGU with a new passive? (Like in the MF and Gankplank case)

Legendary skin re-release?

Despite his popularity, as of today he doesn't have a single skin with a non-dated model (Academy is too close to the base model (so the proportions are way off) and Soulstealer, albeit beautiful, is pretty low poly compared to modern skins).

Winter is coming, and Noxus comes with it. Will the rivers run red?

And the trashbag cape with blades everywhere and the oversized hands? ( ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) )

Come on, buddy, we all want Count Vlad to be more than just a recolor and to look like this

Don't let yourself be fooled.

I waited six years for an epic Yorick skin, something that would be worth all the waiting and aggravation from the company and the community. All I got was an average effort, one they're trying to behind next to a bunch of other skins, including Yi's 50th skin.

Are you comparing Yorick's fanbase, playerbase and concept to Vlad's? Because the difference is in light years.

You're expecting something awesome from Riot. I'm suggesting that you don't do that because they will fail to deliver.

Fanbase and playerbase, ok, I can agree. But when it comes to lore and thematic, Yorick is way better in my opinion.

Blood MagicksSep 12, 20172 votes

Post update of course his concept got fleshed out better. Call me again after Vlad gets an update of the same caliber.

Ok, talk to you in 2052 then. :)

Vlad is currently played in 2.22% of Games, Yorick is played in 0.78%, a large difference to be sure, but Vlad has waited all of 2 years for a skin, talk to us at 2,273 days only to find a generic epic tier skin for your wait. The only light years here are the ones between our levels of despair, of which Vlad mains know nothing.

2.22%

Source? I'm looking at champion.gg and lolalytics.com and the numbers are larger.

And you guys got a high-quality VGU, this counts as two skins at least.

source is Champ gg not sure where you're looking

You're only looking at toplane Vlad's pickrate, the midlane pickrate is about twice as high [vlad-salute]

Xenos von FaneliSep 13, 20171 votes

meh whatever that's plat elo anyway, I feel the main point of my statement still stands

Blood MagicksSep 13, 20171 votes

You are free to feel however you want, but needless to say a VGU has more content than the number of skins that got redone.

Warlord ScrapSep 12, 20171 votes

he has 7 skins. Yorick took 6.5 years to get a non release one. Theres definately champs higher on the skin priority totem pole. Although yi is about to get his second skin this year which is somewhat suprising.

Inb4 we get Snowblood Vlad turning into an ice pool and shooting rings of snowballs.

Noxus is merely the shadow of Mordekaiser

SancreSep 12, 20171 votes

Yes, they are giving him a sword skin too

Tomato sword Vlad:

More or less the same, but more chinesse, with all the blood particles censored since the laws on china are toughter and instead of the tomato ball of doom, it has a floating tomato sword shinning on red.
