Hyped for them to finally get a skin after so long? Yes. Hyped for said skin? Not yet, I got to see the skin 1st.

I really want Yorick to get a skin, I think he deserves something really great since it's been so long but no I'm not hyped, I've been let down alot recently with rumors and fake leaks so I'll get excited when Riot finally delivers

they can tell me it'll really happen and that they 'put it in writing so they can be held to their word' but I'll believe it when I see it.

No, I will get hyped when I see the skins. I dont want Yorick to get some seasonal skin that looks off during 90% of the year (read: Santa Yorick), and I'm absolutely not a fan of the new Cassio skin.

I love playing Yorick, and dread the thought of the one skin het gets in 6 years not to be to my taste. Because at the rate he's getting skins, I don't think he will get another before LoL dies.

(I'd love to see a Gardener Yorick skin, in the style of Plants vs Zombies. With tiny sunflower "ghouls")

Yorick player here. I've been throwing money at my screen ever since I saw that his skin is called "dragon sorcerer". I love dragons. Why is this skin not out yet? Do I need to throw more money at my screen?

fake leak sadly :(

still confirmed for a skin tho.

ModKnightsKemplarAug 24, 20171 votes

Where is that confirmation, if I may ask? Might be helpful to folks to post it in OP, too, just so they can see the info for themselves.

I think part of it being considered fake was that it said Twitch got the Championship skin, but Ashe was revealed to have it, so people are probably less inclined to believe the rest already..which, I don't mind. Seeing the leak posts always bothered me for some reason. I guess i like the surprise of what it actually is.

Edit: I just realized you might've meant the confirmation tha he was getting a skin. That..I do not recall, but when Cassio's went up, someone said Yorick and Illaoi were on their way as well. I'll see if I can find it.

AFilthyCaitMainAug 24, 20171 votes

Ya, If one skin is fake usually the rest are.

I really hope Yorick's not getting a comedic skin.

SnakDatSmilesBakAug 25, 20171 votes

Why? Personally I'd love to see a "definitely not yorick".

I really REALLY hope that they get Blood Moon skins

Hell, the theme can fit Illaoi Yorick AND Taliyah all at once (Maybe even Viktor )

ChompyWulfAug 25, 20171 votes

Blood Moon started as just a thing for the ninjas, didn't really like how it spread to others like Zilean, Jhin, or Thresh. They look great, but thematically just kinda annoyed me a bit.

I would prefer to see Illaoi get an Infernal skin. Lava tendrils and soot blackened armor with a glowing idol would be a nice departure from her green/brown and purple/gold skins.

SnakDatSmilesBakAug 25, 20171 votes

Haha that's just because zilean is the best assassin of all. How many assassins can see the future; wouldn't that make for a wonderful assassin?

ChompyWulfAug 25, 20172 votes

That's a lousy assassin if he can't even stop a bear from joining the League of Legends.

FairyfleurAug 27, 20171 votes

Blood Moon Taliyah? No thanks, I don't see how it fits at all.

HonestJohnTheConAug 24, 20171 votes

I'm hoping for: Pool Party Yorick Pool Party Taliyah High Noon Kled

Hopefully Illaoi and ASol get some cool skins as well.

SnakDatSmilesBakAug 25, 20172 votes

I'm hoping for a unique yorick skin that isn't like the skins we've already seen.

I shall reserve my hype until I see the skins.

Nut on my ButtAug 25, 20171 votes

Not really, since I'll probably never see them anyway, but it'll be nice for the few people that do play them.

RalanrAug 25, 20171 votes

If Illaoi's skin isn't as a car saleswoman with a suitcase I'll be disappointed.

Glad she gets a skin, but I want it to be that.

Forhonor321Aug 26, 20171 votes

eeehhhhhh.... kinda but not really. While Cass is finally getting a new skin, it really does feel out of left field to place her in the Eternum series. The skin I feel is alright, especially with the splash art update but it's not exactly what I was hoping for since there have been so many neat fan concepts for her skins.

Along with that, there have been numerous leaks, some true but many fakes, that really kill the hype when you know it's coming or when it sounds like a good idea and then realize it's fake, like Arcade Yorick. As well, when you do get spoiled of these things, you have an expectation of how it will turn out and when it does finally get revealed it either lives up to what you were expecting or not, rather than just having it burst out of nowhere and surprise you with how cool it looks.

I really do want a new Yorick skin, he's one of my favorites now ever since the rework and has been the champ without a skin in the longest time, but I want it to be a good theme that fits his and that everyone can agree is worth the ever long wait.

So, I heard this on the Surrender@20 Discord from a trusted member with insider info. Unfortunately, the originally planned Yorick skin was canceled. This may sound devastating at first, but uh... it was Arclight Yorick. There is probably another skin concept for him replacing this; it could just be a bit longer than anticipated.

However, I'm still excited to see what Riot has in store for him and Illaoi among others.
