Aurelion Sol needs skin and Lunar Revel would fit him
Nah, let's throw in Lux who had ultimate skin relatively recently.
I am surprised there's no Lunar Ahri instead of WW, tbh, she fits the theme so greatly.

In the lunar revel event, they throw in champions which fit the zodiac of the year and then fill some space with champs who don't fit in any zodiac naturally.
Last year was Azir as the rooster, Garen and Vi as simple humans for filling. This year we get Nasus and Warwick, fitting the dog zodiac. Lux is just another simple human filler.
Aurelion Sol fits obviously into one of the Chinese zodiacs: dragon. It makes sense that he doesn't get the skin until we arrived the year of the dragon, which will be 2024. You won't see Aurelion Sol next year. It is the year of the pig, so most likely we get Sejuani and 2 fillers again.
People have to accept that Riot is following themes and concepts here. If there is a year of the dragon, it makes the most sense for Aurelion Sol to get the skin in that time and not earlier.
I'm glad sol didn't get shoehorned into a lackluster skin line. Take star dragon, make him Chinese dragon. Would of been pathetic and very uninspired.
This lux news though, very disappointing.
To be fair, it's much easier to make concepts for characters like "knight who wields a sword" and "light mage" than it is for "cosmic space dragon" and "girl who worships a tentacle god". Low playrate doesn't really help.
Still though, I really want an Aurelion Sol skin. Or a Taliyah skin.
Small indie company pls understand.
They need all the money they can get.
ahi wouldn't fit as well as ww in the year of the dog but she would've been a better fit than lux.

I dread speaking bad about Riot after they finally gave my favorite doggo a new skin... but Lux was complete bullshit. I understand needing a champion with a high playrate to boost sales, but why choose one that already got an ultimate skin? Only thing I can think is that Lunar Revel Lux is actually just a left over concept for one of the Elementalist designs that riot decided not to go with. That way they save some money. Otherwise there are more widely played champions that haven't recently received a skin recently 
No idea how the year of the dog would fit a giant space dragon.
I like how the reasoning was "She had a skin a year ago" even though Udyr getting a legendary stopped him from getting a skin for 2 years.
Relatively recent was in november 28 2016 . Still agree she doeesnt deserve skin it is shitty
I could see this kind of post coming already.
Well, Rito really doesn't care.
To try and be more positive, that skin will probably be legacy so it would be sad to give it to A.Sol. I mean, he deserves a permanant skin first no?
he'll get one in 24'
Aurelion Sol needs skin and Lunar Revel would fit him
If he get this skin** for this theme**, it will be in 2024 That's not even a joke (year of the dragon)
If he get a skin** not about this theme**, it could be at anytime, but not soon
theres no way that it would be difficult to come up with cool skin themes for an awesome character like sol if they actually tried, hes a fcuckin space dragon theres like a million things u can do with that
Not to mention that it isn't that different from the forms of Elementalist.
Just be patient, he'll get one... When the year of the dragon rolls around.
Nah, let's throw in Lux who ultimate skin relatively recently.
I don't think November of 2016 was that recent XD
Recently? That was back in November 2016...
Aurelion Sol just missed the year of the Dragon. If we really want to wait for his proper year, then expect a Lunar skin for him in 2024. Of course this is way to long, so he has to get skins before that (preferebly a lightning inspired skin).
We should start a countdown on Sol's skin deficit. He's becoming the new Yorick
this is such a vital topic that we have to have a thread and many posts about it, or else uh, a barely played champion might not get a skin as soon as the OP wants him to. Oh no. What a incredible tragedy.
