Champion pick/ban stats - Games of legends

So i recently got 10 gemstones, and to be fair i dont really like the hextech skins that are currently available. They're lacking too much compared to other insane legendary skins that you can get. Since it take forever to get 10 gemstones i feel like these skins should have more flavour to them than they have. For instance Project: Vayne vs. Soulstealer Vayne, if you just look at the animations and the particle effects, Project: Vayne is way more refined and appealing. The same goes for Dunkmaster Darius and Dreadnova Darius in my humble opinion. Further i'd like to know if we have any insider info, from anywhere, to what the next upcomming hextech skin should be? Personally i'd like to see something like zac, since all of his skins are basically just chromas at this point. Maybe just the most picked champion in higher elo througout the season? I dunno man. As a main, i wouldnt mind seeing something like Shyvana, nocturne, bard, janna or leona as well :3 What are your thoughts on this guys? I've added a poll, for the 10 most picked champions in S8 for professional tournaments, so far, to let riot know what the community wants :3 (Link to these, as of 2/4/2018)

Hey, no insider myself, but I kinda know how it works with the Hextech skins. Of couse PROJECT: Vayne is better than SS Vayne, same goes for the Darius' skins. These are legendary, they are suppose to give a complete new feeling. Gemstone skins are overall epic ones. Anyway, we just got a new Hextech skin last patch and the Hextech skin before was released Dezember. If Riot keeps that tempo, the next hextech skin will come out in 3/4 months. Which mean we get 3, maybe 4, Hextech skin this year. Also - Hextech skins are usually for champions which a lot of option. Vayne, Sivir, Kog'Maw, Annie all have a lot of skins, which mean on of it can be an "exclusive" one. Lets take Zac - he has 3 skins and they are all semi chromas. Imagine he finally gets an amazing skin and which is locked behind a 10 Gemstone Wall. That would be awful, so Hextech skin are only for champion which have a lot of options. From your 10 champions you put in your poll only Ryze, Ezreal and Tristana could get one. Hecarim and Darius have less skins, but overall the more skins are champion has, the more likely he could get an Hextech skin. The next Hextech skin would go for Midlaner or Toplaner, but we also got our 3th ADC skin before a Support got theirs...

"Thing is, if the skins were great people would (rightly) complain that the best skins are too hard to get. The skins have to be a bit underwhelming, their appeal is in the rarity and not the looks of the skin itself."

I think this quote - a Riotler even agreed with it - says it all.

I want to see a Lancer Skin for J4. Not only does he already wield a lance but he could use skin that's neutral in color. Aside from the victorious one which is impossible to get.
