Conquerer is the new Challenger. Esports skins don't count in normal skin rotation.

so that means jarvan hasnt gotten a skin since 2013, fnatic doesnt count that came out in 2014 i guess.

Then Conqueror doesn't count either, it's an esports skin too. It represents MSI

Honestly I think it is ok for Karma to get this. She didn't really get that many skins in the past years.

The fact of the matter is she just got all her 4 or 5 splashes updated, and got Snow Day. Meanwhile Yorick has 2 skins. Total.

I'm not saying that Yorick shouldn't get skins. I'm just saying that this is acceptable because Karma has been screwed over with skins in the past.

If anything I'd hope that Yorick will get something similar eventually.

It's meant to be the new Challenger skin, like Ahri and Nidalee, but re-dubbed to Conqueror.

I'm guessing it was probably intended to be a Challenger skin but because the skin line had a lot of problems, as stated in the PBE board, they probably put it on hold and reworked it to salvage it. Again, that's my guess considering she just got a winter skin not too long ago.

That said, I'm ok with Karma getting another skin. She's been ignored for a long time so it's nice she's getting another good quality skin.

amen to that im still waiting for a new Illaoi skin and a new Yorick skin for pitys sake at least a new Warwick skin

Warwick isn't as bad as the other two, he did get a 750 skin in 2015 that is fairly decent (and better after the update).

As it has been stated, this skin line is not part of the normal rotation. It's an Esports skin.

This. eSports skins exist outside of the regular rotation because their selection is not based on concept, theme, or need, it is entirely based on champion popularity in eSports. Karma was a HOT support last season, and she's looking strong again this season. Therefore, she was chosen to get this skin due to her prevalence in eSports.

Winter Skins (normal skin) - Conqueror skin (Esports)

they are made differently and do not have anything to do with the champion already receiving a skin.

She got Winter Wonder in December of 2016 so she will have to wait till at almost 2018 till she can see another skin, where as the Conqueror skin is an Esports skin and doesn't disqualify her from gaining said skin as it's made in tribute to the League Esports scene.

As others had pointed out Karma is one of those Champions who had formerly been left behind on skins herself. So when they finally get to giving the champions skins people have to complain? Like seriously, Karma released in 2011 with 2 low quality skins, Sakura & Sun Goddess. She then gained Traditional in 2013 with her update, Order in 2014, Warden in 2015, Winter in 2016 (end of 2016 at that, so as far as regular skins go she shouldn't have another one till afterDecember 2017). Now Conqueror in 2017 (Esports) doesn't follow those as said. So I think she'll be set for awhile and we shouldn't see anything for some time.

because it's an eSport skin, and those don't count
