It's probably time to look at champs that have gone without skins in a while again

I feel that with 2017 coming to an end in the next few weeks and that some champs on the previous list have gotten their new skins recently, it's about that time we take another look back at the list of champs that haven't gone without a skin in so long.

Previous list (by Prankenstein): https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/general-discussion/WKnjAkPf-top-10-champions-that-has-gone-longest-without-a-skin-080817?show=flat&page=3

  1. Urgot 2103 days || 5 years, 9 months, 3 days || Battlecast
  2. Swain 2024 days || 5 years, 6 months, 15 days || Tyrant
  3. Shen 1658 days || 4 years, 6 months, 14 days || TPA
  4. Rumble 1344 days || 3 years, 8 months, 5 days || Super Galaxy
  5. Heimerdinger 1242 days || 3 years, 4 months, 24 days || Hazmat
  6. JarvanIV 1169 days || 3 years, 2 months, 13 days || FNatic (debatable since it's Esports)
  7. Evelynn 1105 days || 3 years, 10 days || Safecracker
  8. Warwick 1025 days || 2 years, 9 months, 21 days || Marauder (not counting URF since that's bascially the same skin since first release)
  9. Amumu & Udyr 982 days || 2 years, 8 months, 7 days || Surprise Party, Definitely Not
  10. Galio 969 days || 2 years, 7 months, 24 days || Debonair

(next to follow) Rammus Skarner Xerath 956 days || 2 years, 7 months, 11 days || Guardian of the Sands Fiddlesticks 953 days || 2 years, 7 months, 8 days || Guardian of the Sands Zilean 942 days || 2 years, 6 months, 27 days || Blood Moon Shaco Mordekaiser 932 days || 2 years, 6 months, 17 days || Wild Card, King of Clubs Irelia 918 days || 2 years, 6 months, 4 days || Order of the Lotus Chogath 912 days || 2 years, 5 months, 28 days || Prehistoric RekSai 896 days || 2 years, 5 months, 12 days || Pool Party Aatrox 869 days || 2 years, 4 months, 15 days || Sea Hunter Vladimir 834 days || 2 years, 3 months, 11 days || Academy Malphite 792 days || 2 years, 2 months || Ironside Kassadin 785 days || 2 years, 1 month, 23 days || Cosmic Reaver Nunu 764 days || 2 years, 1 month, 3 days || Zombie Gragas 732 days || 2 years, 1 day || Caskbreaker AurelionSol 624 days || 1 year, 8 months, 14 days || Ashen Lord

Now PLZ bear in mind, the current roster and listings I have now are just the champions that I moved up from the previous list. The bottom 3 slots are for the remaining 3 champions that I have yet to find out who they are and add to the list. So if you want to help and comment on who the missing 3 are, that would be more than appreciated. ( I just decided to find them myself since no one was really giving me any specific time lengths of champs)

As much as I and many players/mains of these champions would like to see a new skin for them soon, I'm not posting this as a "who do we decide finally gets a skin after god knows how long" discussion. I'm more or less posting this as an update about champions that haven't received a skin in quite a while as a friendly reminder of the champs that are still waiting on a new skin (with special cases of Swain, soon to be reworked, and Rumble since their current rigs and models are hard to work around developing new skins).

ALSO if there are any champs that I missed that have gone without a skin in, let's set the limit to over a year and 6 months, let me know but PLZ POST THE YEAR(S) MONTH(S) AND DAY(S) SO I CAN ORGANIZE THEM! Use the wiki and this site to do that plz: https://www.timeanddate.com/date/durationresult.html?m1=&d1=&y1=&m2=&d2=&y2=

Can we instead of repeating that Rumble's rig is hard to work with, actually demand Riot to fix that if it's this problematic?

Having Riot go in and completely rework Rumble's rig is the equivalent of a VU, which Riot has stated they're no longer doing anymore.

Good thing LoL community despite begging for Yorick/Urgot/Zac/Swain skins also still wants to leave Rumble in the shithole for next century or so

Quepha1 votes

It's not like there's some technical issue with his model, it's just that Rumble's mech is supposed to look big, bulky and awkward with a lot of weird parts that appear to move independently of each other. To "fix" this they would need to redesign Rumble's mech to look more boring.

Erdamon1 votes

Except literally everyone including Riot says that it's the technical issues. Best part is that Community has no idea what kind of issues and Riot doesn't bother sharing information, but both groups love to shit on Rumble players so nobody sees that anything's wrong.

Kassadin Warwick Anivia nevermind she got that festival queen skin recently

You guys are courageous to count this all. Since Riot likes to make skin teams/skin lines, maybe they should have a line with all these forgotten champions (with a cool theme ofc, not just Forgotten Urgot or Forgotten Swain)

Since Swain will get a rework, perhaps should he get out of the list ?

Edit : Nevermind you already put Heimer Expect maybe Kalista who only has E-sport skins beside her release one on 2014, i can't count more from before 2015.

Maybe we can complete missing sloths with Taliyah and Aurelion ? I think its odd how they don't have anything planned when Jhin from the same year do.

From last time list at least this list is getting smaller so i guess its a positive thing !

While Swain is getting a rework, that doesn't necessarily mean he's automatically going to get another skin. Remember, Sion had to wait roughly 2 years before he got his new skin since his rework. Yorick had to wait a full year after his rework to get a much needed new skin.

The list right now is also incomplete, as I said in the post I'm still looking for the remaining bottom 3 and anyone who knows about them can post about them down below to help out.

Kalista is probably up there on the list for sure. Champs like Taliyah or Sol, on the other hand, might be on there as well but can't say for sure since they're only getting close to around 1.5 - 2 years old now. Everyone else on the list so far is in the 3 year range.

I looked into almost all champs who did not seems to have gotten one in a long time. Besides the ones you already listed, all the others start at about january 2015 for their last skin, but i haven't seen more champs who did not get a skin since 2014. I might have missed some though.

Man Shen's last skin was TPA wow...what a long time...

Forhonor3211 votes

Yeah...I really feel bad for Shen mains out there

JooshBox1 votes

Shen is relatively popular as well can't say the same for everyone on this list.

I hope we get a new Urgot skin soon. His skin embargo lasted way too long already.

We are hitting 6 years soon, god dammit.

Shen could use a new skin. Unfortunately his blood moon one is ass. Project Shen or Divine Sword Shen should be a thing.

I want to see a 1320 tier Evelynn Pulsefire skin. Make her 100% human and make the tendrils some sort of futuristic technology (Think Doc Oct from Spider-Man). Have her Ultimate effects and demon-visage as cloaking. It would work really well tbh. She could be Ezreals colleague/lover haha. Or she could be a cop like Cait but be a vigilante/bad cop.

soooo safecracker?

{quoted}

soooo safecracker?

But safe cracker is just Evelynn in black leather.

I'm talking like actual Pulsefire. Like her ult should slam those tentacles and cause like a time space continuum rip in fabric and destroy the opponents. Her Q should be like her tossing grenades and them erupting into pulsefire.

Her W should be like some sort of lock on time dialysis alteration thingy.

Her E should just be her tentacle jet pack propelling her.

This is far more than just "hurr Safe cracker Evelynn"

Give her white leather knee length boots with lightsaber'esque claws. Give her like steam punk / cybernetic dreadlocks.

What else would a Time travelling Serial killer honestly look like?

AurelionSol= Never got a post release skin

Just updated the list. Not quite in top ten but is in follow ups.

Ironjeel1 votes

Kled and sol

Forhonor3211 votes

Kled is just a few months over a year old. He's not really qualified to fit the list yet.

Sol, on the other hand, is getting close to being two years without a new skin and I have added him under the runner ups.

If Xerath doesn't get Dark Star I'm gonna hang myself.

This skin is so obvious I can't even stand at it is not being made.
