Riot , are you really ok with just letting some champions spend 3+ year with no new skins ?

Ok , I get it , some champions it´s easier to make skins , meaning that it´s less work to give them new skins. But I mean , come on more then 3 years is just not fair, especially when you have champions that get skins almost every single year. Viktor Shen Cassiopeia Zyra Swain and Yorick are not on this list due to the fact that Yorick got a full VGU less then a year ago , and Swain is going to get one

It is better to wait for a great idea for a skin than to force one out.

That is why they canceled the sewn chaos skins recently.

nah they just didnt want to give Amumu a skin, so they had to pull Blitzcrank skin as well because they shared the splash art, the whole

Sometimes we work on things that just don’t end up hitting our quality bar. And usually, we try to cut those things well before they actually hit PBE, but in this case we were a little too late. The truth is neither Sewn Chaos Blitzcrank nor Sewn Chaos Amumu hit the quality expected of our recent skins, so we’re making the call to remove them. ~ I am Carlos~

bullshit they tried to give a reason why, was a cop out, and a front for the actual reason, they simply wouldn't make money on an Amumu skin, The Product Manager can't just put out stuff that won't make money, a skin concept has NEVER gotten THIS far and just fallen out of existence, they were literally about to get released.

The skins were pretty much finished already,there was literally no gain in not releasing them. Even if the Amumu skin wouldn't have made that much money,it would have made at least a bit money,which is still better than nothing.

Your explanation makes no sense. Not only the fact that the skins were almost ready to released and were on pbe to test for game breaking bugs, but they also make skins for not so popular champions all the time.

Diana just got a skin, and she is the 81st most popular champion, and that is after she just got a sexy ass skin. There was Karthus Lightsbane, and he is nearly the least popular champion (124th). Worldbreaker Trundle, who is 106th.

Amumu is 91st btw, so Trundle and Karthus are both less popular than him.

both trundle and karthus are played in the Pro scene and Diana is an exception because she is a female champion, female champion skins will be bought no matter what.

Replying to both replies at the same time.

True, but they released the skins away from the big LCS coverage times if I remember corrently, could be wrong because I don't keep up with it. If they had wanted to capitalize on that though they probably would have released them with more mainstream types of skins, like project or something.

You can call me ignorant all you want, but they definitely would not remove a skin that they had already completely developed a patch away from its release just because they did not think it would sell well.

Obviously female skins are going to sell well, but your logic is far from fleshed out. Zyra went a very long time for her second skin to come out, and she still only has three despite being very popular, and one of them was only because she was on a winning LCS team.

So, not counting Anivia, Aurelion Sol, Bard, Blitzcrank, Cho'Gath, Fiddlesticks, Galio, Kha'Zix, Kog'Maw, Malphite, Maokai, Nocturne, Rammus, Rek'Sai, Reneketon, Skarner, Tahm Kench, or Vel'Koz, so that I could primarily focus on champions with a physique closer to human, there are 404 male skins and 244 female skins counting quickly.

Annie has 10 skins. Ryze also has 10 skins.

I mean, you can be blind to the fact if you want, I don't care, was just trying to pry the ignorance from your brain.

Its a simple fact when you have a free online game female characters are exploited for cosmetic micro-transactions.. doesnt matter if you simpletons believe me, just know its a fact.

League is more established, you will not see it as obviously and you will not see ONLY female characters getting the most skins but I bet if you count every skin in game and compare female to male skins, females will have more.

Just off the top of my head Annie is one of the female champions with the most skins.

Apparently they are, because its definitely happening and the funny part is all the champions you named are being actively used in the meta so it wouldn't be like they are going to lose money from it. People would in fact buy them.

I mean it's pretty obvious they are ok with it or they would be releasing skins for all champions especially those who need it. Heck this is the reason why we have tier skin prices. Make low price skins to keep people happy then when the time comes you can release an epic skin.

It basically makes no sense to wait for that one skin idea when you spend years waiting for it, let alone the fact the community could be helping out as well. I've seen wonderful skins for majority of the champions in this game so they really have no excuses. You can't blame reworks as well because they gave Eve a skin. If they can do it for one champion they can do it for all champions.

It just sucks when you like playing a certain champion but all they have is just a small amount of skins. Yet they'll have no problem releasing yet another skin for a champion that already has too many. I understand older champions/ popular champions are in demand but that shouldn't put other champions away from the spotlight!
