TIL Riven has gotten a mythic+ skin four consecutive years

Since 2011, the only year in which there was no Riven skin is 2013. Ever since 2013, she has gotten a mythic skin (the whole shebang with particles) every year: DragonBlade Riven in 2014, Arcade Riven in 2015, Championship Riven in 2016, Dawnbringer Riven in 2017 and now PulseFire Riven in 2018.

Following this trend, it means next year will be Conqueror Riven, or it will be a Winter/Summer/Halloween/Valentine skin. Some skin that's not sold all year 'round.

This isn't a "bash Riven" thread, since I understand she's a popular champion with a lot of diehard mains (who die a little too often for my tastes), but it feels a bit sour for those champions who have to wait years to get a new skin.

Most of all, this is a thread you can quote a year from now to see if the prediction held true.

Championship Riven in 2016

Are you really counting this?

Mythic skins are the gemstone skins. Riven DOES NOT have one

I like how they decided not to give a time warping series skin to the character that literally warps through the fabric of reality. Kassadin :| Riot it has been nine hundred and twenty eight days.

I think you mean "epic". Mythic skins are the ones craftable from 10 gemstones.

1 championship skins dont count towards official skin totals, two that was an update.

Wasn’t championship Riven just a remake of an older championship Riven

I know people are going to disagree, but I really don't care what skin comes out for which champion as long as it's clear that work went into making it good. I wish Kindred was gonna get a new skin soon, but honestly, I'm fine with riven getting it (although they could've put a little more effort into making her look a little bit better imo)

Championship Riven was old. It was rereleased in 2016 with minor updates for people who owned the original version of the skin when they made the 2016 version available like all the other Championship skins. It's utterly ridiculous of you to claim that she got a skin that she already already had.

that just means that riven players are probably whales

Riven is VERY popular... what your witnessing is called supply and demand. Its basic economics. :/

meanwhile Wukong gets a skin in a crappy skin line with a lack luster recall/homeguard
