Syndra gets SKT skin soon, and immediately after she'll get a Star Guardian skin.
If that isn't champion favoritism I don't know what is. Is this to compensate for the fact she didn't receive a skin in 2016?
it isn't confirmed yet that we will get Sg Syndra and 2. they plan skins for a whole year. They didn't know that Faker will play Syndra on Worlds, same with zac
They don't count eSports Skins as "getting a skin."

Correct, however, we do not count esports skins towards 'getting a skin', since there isn't a ton of control as to which champions will get them - for Faker, it was pretty obvious Zed was going to be selected, but that didn't put him out of the running for another skin.
So, technically, Thresh's last skin was January of 2015, which is a fair amount of time between receiving Dark Star Thresh.
Riot aren't slaves to their audience, they can do 10 skins for 1 champion and 0 for another if they want to, plus its impossible to balance skins with over 100 champions especially when some skin themes fit more for specific champs
The winner team chooses the champions, it's not really Riot. They don't include esports skins in their regular skin program and schedule.
Favoritism is in Overwatch's Tracer getting a new skin every single event while a lot of heroes haven't got nearly as many, and in Overwatch all the heroes came out approximately at the same time, whereas in league some champions are about 6 years old and obviously are gonna have more skins than newer ones although it's not always the case.
The pros pick the champs, they aren't going to scrap a skin because Faker wanted a skin for Syndra, team skins don't count against a champs skin limit. And the star guardian thing is from a leak...
Does it really matter? Or, do you think these skins will finally fix the Syndra movement/damage bug?
Star Guardian isn't coming in 7.14... all that is coming is Kayn. No new skins. Next set of skins will probably be in 7.15 so not two patches in a row.
Team skins don't count for yearly skin count, as it's something that the winning team members decide, not Riot.
First of all as long the SG skin didn't hit PBE, we can't be for sure. Second, e-sport theme don't belong to the normal skin restrictions. If I skin is already in work they won't suddenly stop with it. Third, the SKT T1 skin IS a disappointment - I mean she looks like a zombie and the animation are alright, but nothing special. And a lot of Syndra mains are the same opinion. Fourth, as Syndra main I can tell you a secret - Syndra is fucking a bug fest. Like, I alone had 4 differents bug with her and I rarely play mid. The stutter bug has 80% chance to happen after you used your ulti and how it does feel to get minionblocked by thin air? Not enjoyable, I can promise. About randon teleporting spheres, unable to recast your W, not picking up sphere we don't even talk. X
But yeah, it's so bad we may actually get a decent skin since Justicar. I forgot, it's not like Ahri get one every year...
