For those who don't remember, I made a post 2 months ago about the top 12 champs that have gone over 1000 days without a new skin, not counting duplicate-like skins such as URFWick or Neo-PAX Sivir. Today, while two champs have been moved down the list (Swain & JarvanIV ), the list has only grown larger.

  • Urgot 2186 days
  • Shen 1741 days
  • Rumble 1427 days
  • Heimerdinger 1325 days
  • Evelynn 1188 days
  • Sivir 1107 days
  • Amumu Udyr 1064 days
  • Galio 1051 days
  • Rammus Skarner Xerath 1038 days
  • Fiddlesticks 1035 days
  • Zilean 1024 days
  • Mordekaiser Shaco 1014 days
  • Irelia 1000 days (added today)

100 day threshhold

  • Chogath 994 days
  • RekSai 978 days
  • Aatrox 951 days
  • Vladimir 916 days

HOWEVER, as of last post, people made the argument of "Oh, but X champ just got updated so they don't count on the list." How is that an argument? Swain got updated and he got his long requested Dragon Master skin a patch after his rework.

"But that's because it was long requested and Riot keeps killing memes." Valid argument, but guess what: this isn't the first time Riot released a new skin with a rework/update. Remember Nasus and his Infernal skin with his relaunch? I don't recall people asking for that skin before then.

And let's say for a moment that this wasn't a fan requested skin. How would the community react to Swain getting a new skin after his relaunch but others like Galio, Urgot and Eve don't. Nevertheless, community requested or not, Riot clearly had the time and resources to plan and make a new skin, in addition to updating his other skins. So I'm going to be completely biased and say your argument of "X champ can't get new skin because recent rework" is bullshit!

BUT BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE JUST CAN'T TAKE AN OPINION OR LET GO OF THEIR ARGUMENT, let's just say that the champs that got reworked in the last year aren't on the list (Just to make those people happy). That still leavesShen Rumble Heimerdinger Sivir Amumu Udyr Rammus Skarner Xerath Fiddlesticks Zilean Mordekaiser Shaco & Irelia on the list, leaving that to 14 in total.

Oh, what's that? Some champs can't be on there because they're currently being reworked? Well then let's boot Irelia off since she's the only one in the works right now and that still leaves 13 + the additional champs coming onto the list within 100 days!

Reguardless of whether or not you will continue to argue that some champs still don't deserve to be on the list, because of whatever reasons, I'm just providing the facts and research I've gathered. A bunch of champs are still being far too forgotten for new skins and the list is just growing. And unless this gets commented by a Rioter on the situation of what they're planning for these champs, I'm still going to keep going.

Well they did say that they want to focus more on champs who didn't get a skin in a long time this year. Hence why we got Illaoi Gragas Swain JarvanIV are getting skins this early in the year. Most of the others on that list will hopefully follow later on(though the ones that are high on the VGU list are unlikely to get one Udyr Mordekaiser Fiddlesticks Shaco Irelia Rammus Skarner )

Yet MF gets another and Ahri will get another one soon too I assume.

I see a trend here, MF, Ahri and Jhin seems to be the ones getting skins consistently.

What's the use of making a skin that only few people will purchase ? Lux skin was seen at least twice in every 10 matches when it's released Swain has more pickrate than her but still never saw anyone playing his latest skin yet

Even if skins are made only for popular champs don't tell me that Rek'Sai is not popular... Rammus was really popular too and now Skarner is too.

you also need to take off udyr, skarner, amumu, rammus, fiddle, zilean, morde and shaco because their models are super outdated and they need a VGU to justify making new skins for them.

Rumble also needs a VU before he gets a non 1800+ skin, since his rig is super outdated even though his gameplay is fine.

Heimer is getting a skin this year. IMO shen and syvir are the only "valid complains"

Out of the 4 characters comming u: Aatrox is getting a GU, Vlad and Cho need VGU's before they warrant getting a new skin. The only fair one would be Rek Sai, even though her play rate is very low outside high level play

The reason Riot keeps making skins for the same champions is because the same people buy all of them. Why would they spend time and money on a new Zilean skin? So the couple dozen Zilean fans out there will buy it?

There are also champions that have not gotten any unique recalls, much less skin recalls.

There are mains of all those champs with money in their pockets waiting for a skin. They won't spend that money on another Jhin or Yi skin, they'll spend it on their champ. I hope all these champs get skins this year.

Plus Sol and Taliyah get 2.
