It's been 46 months now since the last official Cass skin was released, that was back on February 7th, 2013.
Can we Cassmains please have another skin now? Checking the PBE for updates just to see another bunch of champs getting skins again is slowly killing me inside.

Canastus4 votesYorick at least received a fullbown VU, Cass only received a mere texture-update back in 2014. Her rigging and animations are still from 2010, though.
Malicious Metal4 votesViktor deserves a new skin as well, in fact a ton of champs could use one before Cass.
Canastus3 votesCass is 8 months ahead of Viktor in terms of queue, so you better get in line.
Malicious Metal3 votesAnd Viktor's only got three skins.
Cassio has more and they're all good quality.
Canastus3 votesI strongly disagree, Cassiopeia only received two skins since her release (Mythic and Jade Fang) whereas her Desperada and Siren skins were released at the same time she came out back in December 2010. They're both 520 RP tier skins which look like trash (rip Desperada's tail texture).
Mythic Cass doesn't have any custom particles and still costs 975 RP, it's not even worth its actual value. And there's finally Jade Fang Cass, the only skin with a recall animation which yet lacks any unique particles after they globalized its effects for all her other skins during the Mid Year Mage update.
She has -no- skins with actual new particles, meanwhile Creator Viktor is a high quality skin with far superior aesthetics. Don't even try to deny that.
Malicious Metal3 votesA little pissy, are we?
Canastus2 votesIs this your response after I took your argument apart? Is this really all you have to say?
Malicious Metal3 votesNope but every time you come up with stuff about Cass you seem, how do I out it, angry?
Yes, she needs new skins but parading the exact day count does not make Riot work faster.
Canastus3 votesListen here, pal. You come into my thread just to disrespect my champ like that? Well, I wonder how you would react if someone pulled off this kind of shit in one of your Mordethreads.
What happened to the guy who used to stand in for neglected and unpopular champions? Is this how you react to FOUR YEARS of ongoing negligence? At least YOUR main got a new skin, mine's still rotting away right next to Yorick and Urgot.

DwarvenGiant1 votesShe's currently eligible for a new skin and Katey has already stated that they're aware of Cassiopeia's (as well as other champions') dire need for a new skin.
Canastus2 votesShe stated that more than half a year ago, absolutely nothing has happened since then.
DwarvenGiant1 votesThey might have had a skin in the works that just didn't work out for some reason.
This doesn't mean that they forgot about her.
Canastus1 votesThey had tons of opportunities so far to make skins for her, every single skinline they released this year would have been compatible. Just look at the amazing fanconcepts out there. Heck, I even sent them these things directly to make sure they saw them. And yet nothing has come out of it, how can this be?
DwarvenGiant1 votesAs with every other champion (Cassiopeia is no special snowflake, you know), they choose certain champions for certain themes because they feel like those champs just work the best with those themes.
-_-
Would Cassiopeia work in some (recently-released) skin lines/themes? Sure! Would she be amongst the best possible candidates for that theme (at least for now)? Not necessarily.
I mean, forcing a champion onto a theme (instead of other champions who could fit into that theme better, for now) isn't a solution.
A lot of champions aren't the best possible best candidates for skins, and it shows with how we 'only' get 3 Snowdown skins for 3 very specific champions, but not for others (again, at least this or that time around).
-_-
Maybe they've been working on a new Cassiopeia skin and it's been in the works for more than a few months now. Maybe they haven't. Whatever they are or aren't working on is (in most cases) what they think is the best in terms of Champion & skin theme crossing.
-_-
Sorry if I tried stressing my point a tad too many times. :P
