Edit: For those who've already seen it, I missed a skin for Varus and he is no longer on the 100 day list.

Been a long while since I've done one of these. Right let's just get to it:

  1. Udyr - 1405
  2. Skarner Xerath - 1379
  3. Zilean - 1365
  4. Shaco Mordekaiser - 1355
  5. RekSai - 1320
  6. Nunu - 1212
  7. Kassadin - 1208
  8. Maokai Velkoz - 1039
  9. Sion - 1026
  10. Nocturne - 1005

Champs within 100 day limit: Shyvana Kindred - 984 Volibear - 977 Taric - 935 Ryze Kalista - 900


As always, this is mainly for data and view of time. Champs that are heavily outdated probably won't get skins soon, but some may be an acceptation, such as Fiddlesticks. Champs that are currently being reworked right now, such as Mord, won't get a skin during this time but may be eligible for one afterwards.

And as always: A VGU/champ rework does not mean a champ has received new skins! A champ under a rework may go over heavy redesign, but in no way does it actually add any new skins. Urgot's crab skin was changed from a B-movie horror monster theme to Kaiju-monster themed. It did not change the amount of skins he had and overall still kept the theme that he was now a crab monster. The only argument one could make now, however, is Akali with her crimson skin being turned into Inferno/Infernal, which is fair, but my counterargument is that this still didn't change the amount of skins she had previously. If anything, this was just the heaviest skin redesign yet as Crimson before could just be described as a red chroma before.


So, that's the list so far now. Sad that the list has grown again. Anyways, what champ are you surprised that made or is getting to the list? What kind of skin would you like to see for one of these champs?

Wow, that's crazy Dark Star Varus is that old. It still holds up pretty well, I love that skin.

You should be counting VGU champs from their rework release, not their first release. Champs on the VGU list are ineligible for skins

Yes, it doesn’t mean they got new skins, but there is a significant difference between someone like Skarner or Xerath going a long time without skins compared to Nunu. It’s dishonest reporting to list it like that.

god please no skin for Udyr some people might start playin him

How do you count Varus and not Taliyah? Conqueror Varus was considered a "normal" (scheduled) skin release, whereas SSG Taliyah was not.

Conqueror Varus is counted on normal release, it is decided by Riot therefore it is okay.

Udyr, Skarner, Mordekaiser, Shaco, Nunu, Nocturne, Shyvana, Volibear are in queue for rework though. Zilean has a confirmed skin coming.

Mordekaiser was just revealed for a VGU so he won't be seeing one for quite a bit longer.Zilean Shaco and Nunu are confirmed to get them this year.

What about a skin for velkoz from the table top skin set. He could be a beholder or some other similar aberration.

Do Riot think she is worthless ?Taliyah She could not get the second skin unless SSG wins.

IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD, From I Am Carlos,

"Now let's talk about how we choose which skins we make for champions. It's a balance between three things: How much a champion is being played, whether they fit into the theme we're working on, and finally, when was the last time they got a skin?" **SOURCE: ** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8lmryL_8QA

He talks about skins that we should expect soon for Zilean Shaco Ivern, the return of PROJECT, Star Guardians, Arcade, along with newly themed skins alike the ones we're supposed to get for the upcoming V.S. event that's between Cat's and Dog's (Fizz is also featured to be receiving a dog themed skin).

Nunu & Willump as well as Anivia were both revealed to receive "Papercraft" skins; https://twitter.com/RiotOhmu/status/1092852108536176640 https://twitter.com/LeagueOfLegends/status/1092845560577454080

He officially announces that they'll be releasing KDA Prestige skin editions for Evelynn Ahri, both of which we should expect early in the year

Lastly, we should be getting legendary skins for Jhin Zed

Udyr, Skarner, Mordekaiser, and Nocturne likely won't get anymore skins until they've been reworked.. all that have been mentioned have been confirmed to get a rework at some point and I believe a Rioter confirmed that Morde and Udyr are relatively high on that list to be next.

Poor kalista doesnt even have a normal skin, only esports skins and her release skin. Also I'm surprised Pool Party Taric was that long ago ;o;

Holy 1379 days since Xerath's last skin We hope that Rito sees this post and maybe, just maybe will release skins for them isntead of Lux, Ezreal and MF skins...

IamCarlos did say Zilean, Nunu & Shaco would be getting skins sometime this year. He also mentioned that a certain Tree would be getting a skin as well.Ivern

All of these champs are either unpopular, about to get a rework (which involves a ton of work on skins), or just got a rework (which involved a ton of work on skins). Riot is not a charity, and champions are not real people.

What did you mean by "Champs within 100 day limit:" ?

Mael Jade2/4/2019, 8:33:31 PM1 votes

As of right now every reworked champion got a skin some time after it so Mordekaiser will soon get one. TM.

QMighty2/4/2019, 6:02:29 PM1 votes

What's the difference between Conquerer Varus/Victorious Maokai compared to the team skins, which you don't count? Personally I think any of the esports skins shouldn't count when considering the neglected champs (the most egregious continues to be Kalista )
