the new skin line and champion choices

ok so pretty much the skin lines this year had terrible champion choices, i don’t care what you say, they were hot garbage, champions getting their second skin of the same season, Kaisa getting her 5th damn skin within 18 months of release, and this skin line probably has the most controversial choices of all. Qiyana- was released less than 6 months ago and already is getting 2 more skins, if she doesn’t get another skin for at least 1 year then i’ll let this choice slide Senna- Senna is getting this skin with her release, so i think it’s fair to give her this one Ekko- He got one last year during Harrowing, but i do think it is fair for him to get this skin because his only permanent in-shop epic skin is Project Ekko and that was released quite a while back Yasuo- To be honest, this choice would be very fair if yasuo never got that unnecessary battle boss skin which would’ve worked so much better with Vel’koz or Xerath, but no more skins for yasuo. I’m telling you, as a NA yasuo player, no one, not me, or my yas main friends are asking for another fucking yasuo skin. When we see he gets another one we don’t go “Yay! a new yas skin!”, we say “ha, another yasuo skin i won’t have smh”. seriously, stop fucking feeding yasuo with skins holy shit Akali- Worst skin choice of the year so far imo. she got 2 skins last year, which were a 10/10 in design and choosing, but not only did she already get a skin 4 months ago, but this is her second music star/band skin? wtf were you thinking riot. Fucking draven or some shit would’ve been fine with this skin and it would’ve sold twice as more than this akali skin will. Anyways, i hope you guys understand my struggle with these shitty as choices for skins.

Can you pass me some of that salt. I need it for my popcorn. [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

Look, Akali was picked to continue the story of the musicverse. Not to mention her and Yasuo are 2 highly popular champions, and popular = more likely to sell a skin = more money for riot.

I only somewhat agree on the Qiyana point. I'm just not very convinced of how authentic her popularity is. But still, they fit the band I guess. And yeah Yasuo was probably pushed a bit harder to join the band since he's uber popular and guarantees lots of money to make up for any under-performers

I say this everytime. It's Tencent, not Riot making these decisions.

All of the choices are fine, Yasuo is the most questionable. The band members all represent a champ chosen and the only one that doesn't 100% fit the member is Yasuo, but it's still fine if it looks good.

Oh, and Qiyana is definitely fine, plenty of champs get skins soon after release, and she's looking to be a popular champion. It helps that her battle boss skin was pretty meh and this one looks good.

I let Akali slide because it represents the real-life musician she's being used for in the group. Sure, she has way too many skins, but this one fits. I'd rather they made this one and didn't make Project Akali honestly.

Edit: Oh, and Ekko deserved a legendary and this suits perfectly, I'm so glad that's what they went with.
