So, do you guys listen to the mains of the respected champs you make skins for?

Similarly to when Arclight Yorick came out, ASol mains were pretty upset with the release of Mecha Aurelion Sol. Do you guys care to take into consideration the opinions of the mains you're making skins for? I only ask because I know it's hard to make skins for champs that don't have many players because you know it won't make you as much money as say another Lux skin. But I personally think that if someone like AurelionSol or Yorick end up getting a skin since they won't get a new one for years shouldn't the mains of these champs ideas and opinions be made relevant to the creation?

Many of us [Aurelion Sol mains] were disappointed for a number of reasons. One of the big ones was that Illaoi mains get special treatment and a skin catered toward their desires, while us Sol mains got slapped with a skin basically just to kill the meme and attempt to shut us Sol mains up. Now, don't take this as an attack towards Riot, I realize you guys are a business trying to make money, but I'm genuinely curious.

  1. Rioters have confirmed that the Boards are not for speaking directly to Riot employees, so addressing questions directly to them is pointless.

  2. It's all about money. Mains of unpopular champions are the least important group for Riot to listen to, since unpopular means low profits from skins. It's far more effective to put the hours into making skins for champions they know people play.

Considering how incredibly few people I've seen with the new Illaoi skin, even including every streamer I've watched, it's likely they found out the hard way that even hyping it up like that means nothing in the end. So instead of go through the trouble of doing such a thing for Aurelion Sol, they simply chose a skin line that would be easy to put on his model and went with it so they could at least say they made a skin for him.

Out of curiosity, but how does Riot expect us to get into contact with them then?

HAHAHAHAHA You think we're allowed to do that?

Go ahead and try. Send in a support ticket. They'll tell you to go on the boards.

It's a circular trap.

Well you should. People should be reading the guidelines. And if you care about votes, you're going against them. Because a vote isn't supposed to be about agreement, it's supposed to be used to encourage discussion.

And since your thread has a glaring flaw in that it's not directed at discussion with other players, it deserves the downvote.

Idk, all the Asol mains I know are pretty happy. They're all pokemon fans too, so they adore the Rayquaza-esque look. I think it's great too and plan on getting it when I scrounge up the RP.
