Most Skins This Year Have Felt Rushed?

Just kinda worried. What's going on? Of course it's my opinion but i'm sure other people share it.. It feels like RIOT is just kind of rushing skin-lines and not really enveloping the overall theme / aesthetics of them. That or dare i say just making things for a quick cash grab? We have Project skins that don't really look / feel like Project.. (compared splash art differences and just overall in game models) And now Star Guardian Skins that really look like Dark Star with the exception of Neeko. I love Star Guardian but im actually disappointed in the 2019 lineup and presentation.. Is everything okay at home RIOT?

I think they are just going in weird directions for most of their skin line re-visits. Arcade had these "corrupted Arcades" Battle Bosses that had mixed reception, PROJECT had the "unfinished prototypes" thing and now SG has "corruption" theme instead of playing the skin line straight. They are trying to advance skin universe plotlines, which I appreciate, but it doesn't always translate.

If they were just going for a quick cash grab, they would just play each skin line completely straight and not try to vary them at all for the sake of a story. Again, I don't know if these directions are entirely good; in some cases they work, in others they don't. I think Zoe surprised me and actually works, whereas so far I am disappointed by X&R. Which is a shame because these were all on my "SG wishlist".
