Riot, why did you pick Graves for a Snow Day skin?

So why did Graves get that skin? He would have made much a better Bad Santa Graves (or The Night Santa Went Crazy Graves). I think Snow Day graves was a slight mistake. I get it that you wanted to give him a different feel with this skin, but it feels like such a lost opportunity and I don't think he's going to get another Christmas/Winter themed skin.

Since you guys decided to go this route, can you offer us any insight as to why you thought Snow Day would be the best option for a Graves holiday skin?

If you're trying to have a relation between his character and his possibly the most meaningful snowdown skin, you must remember, Graves is not a bad guy. He may have fun like any other not necessarily evil people in the world when it is winter. Even Syndra, a person that is actually darker and more brutal than Graves we ever saw got a Snow Day skin.

I think Graves fits to Snow Day better than Bad Santa Graves. Jhin would be a better Bad Santa if you ask me. And even beyond that much logic, most of skins are not official lore wise, at least in the main universe. So, Riot can do whatever they want. They can make Ivern in a skin as the most savage entity of burning desire to bring such endless pain for the living, even while it is exact opposite of what Ivern's character says.

Because they wanted to give hm a snow cannon for his shotgun and that wouldn't have fit that well with a santa skin.
