Twitch is the only marksman that doesen't have a particle-changing skin

I know, I know. There are probably some better contenders for a skin right now than Twitch, but I wanted to point out that it feels kinda odd to me that he doesen't have any particularly good skin. When you look at them they generally look all the same with exception for Vandal and Pickpoket - he wears the same coat in every skin, and his fur is in different color, so in the end they don't change as much as you'd expect them to change. I find the whole thing pretty weird given how Riot totally nailed Twitch's indentity, including his VO and overall theme. You can argue with me, but I find Twitch one of the most unique and immersive champions in the league, next to champions like Kindred or Aurelion Sol. What has recently hit me the most, is that Lucian has got a Heartseeker skin over Twitch - you'd have imagined that Twitch could get one next to Quinn, since all of these skins had a common thing - shooting a hearty arrows from crossbows and bows. And there, you get a lovely shots coming out from a blasters, amazing. Im not saying here that the skin is bad, because it isn't - but from what I've been reading, Riot's comments hint that whether a champion gets a skin or not relies on not the overall number or quality of skins that they already have, but it relies on whether they can come up with a fitting skin theme/design for a champion or not. And that's what leaves me surprised, because I think that Twitch has a very wide field where coming up with good skin ideas doesen't seem hard.

Honourable mention - SSW Twitch is absolutely adorable, and doesen't follow the sinister look of other skins.

Doesn't Mafia Twitch change his bolts into bullets?

So: I've had an idea for a legendary twitch skin for quite a while, and since you brought it up, I guess I'll describe it here. Toon Twitch. Mice and rats are so populat in cartoons ((jerry and Mickey)), so why not toon twitch? The skin idea is kind of like Final Boss Veigar, paying homage to tons of cartoons while still kind of being its own thing. The paassive would put little birds, or stars, or maybe even twitches goofy toony face swirling above opponents and at max stats could be something like a sign saying "help". The Q would be something like Twitch erasing himself or doing a scooby doo lile lamp shuffle. W would be twitch hurling things like a bowling ball, anvil, or piano. And Twitchs ult would be something zany where each auto has a goofy sound effect, maybe little signs show up that say "WHAM" or "THWAP" when he hits soneone and twitchs eyes do that cartoony pop out. Sorry for making that so long. I'm with you, I really love Twitch and think some skins for the guy would be nice!
