When will Yorick get a damn skin?

Seriously. It's ridiculous. Imagine how amazing blood moon yorick would be. The graves would be red, his e red with the dark black misty thug in the teaser, the maiden would be black and red, etc. Oh well, guess we'll keep waiting. Meanwhile let's give twisted fate his eighth or ninth skin. Not to mention all of them have more skins than yorick except Jhin, who with this release, will have an equal amount. Meanwhile, it's been 2,000+ days since yoricks last skin. Really no excuse. Now, most of you will probably say, "But, waters, he just got a rework! His skins were just redone!!". And? Taric got a pool party skin not too long after his rework. Why should yorick be treated any different?

Have you not know, Riot is incredibly biased and lazy when it comes to skins. It's mostly about popularity or number of models a champion has. Zyra/Cassiopeia/Yorick/Viktor etc are neglected to the point where excuses like reworks and updates are becoming stupid. Just look at Fiora, Kata, Taric, Brand and now Talon, they don't even need half a year before getting new skins, smh.

I'm starting to see the bias, yes. I'm also disappointed nautilus got another 750 rp. He only has one good skin, and that's astronautilus. I feel that the more popular champions with higher play rates get more skins, and I guess it makes sense money wise, but that doesn't change the fact that other champions have been waiting soooo long.

You know, if we ignore the fact that Poppy turned flavor of the month (right after) Star Guardian, Poppy was rarely played before her rework, and she still had about 5 skins prior to that, and I doubt she's going to get a new skin within the next year (and if she does, I am damned sure Viktor will get his first)

Let's remember that Zac was big time in the LCS, but his skin still didn't appear until the next year (since it was Pool Party and they can't release it outside of the PP event).

owo Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if PP Zac was finished right after the PP event, so they had to icebox him an entire year until the next one. Some of the Rioters did mention how they had to keep quiet and had to hold in the surprise for a very long time.

As much as I would have been interested to see what a Blood Moon Yorick could have looked like. I really dont think it would be as amazing as everyone is acting like it would be.

Pumping out cliche themed skins for deprived champs doesnt motivate my wallet so why sweat over the loss?

^ This so much. The Blood Moon line was getting trite and cliché, and when you see every single Ionian and Shadow Islander get a Blood Moon skin, it creates an obligatory rut that people expect when a new Ionian or Shadow Islander comes out. I'm quite glad he didn't get the Blood Moon skin for this reason, because I would have hated an uninspired skin for the sake of obligation instead of something truly worthy of Yorick's long awaited first skin after release.

We can also get a Cooperate/President Yorick skin, where the ghouls would be zombie workers/voters.

VelvetCrotchJan 24, 20171 votes

thats literally a TRUMP-SKIN. i like it, lol.

Yeah, I get that some champions are more popular than others but seeing champions with like ten skins continue to get new ones while Yorick hasn't had any since release isn't super fun.

Taric took ~3 months to get a new skin,but we have to keep in mind that Yorick skins are more complicated because it has extra models for mistwalkers and the maiden(and his W,though at least that doesn't need much animation),not to mention that there was the winterbreak just recently as well,so it makes sense that Yorick has to wait a bit longer.

Look up cat lady yorick and construction yorick I no there based on the old yorick but still I want them. Plus I liked the old yorick model better

Opinions on a boxing themed skin? A good one like Knockout Lee Sin- NOT the monstrosities that were voli mundo and Gnar's luchador-esque skins. His Q would be a fold up chair, his W a boxing ring, his R like a referee, and the minions could even have cute little boxing gloves! Not sure what his E would be, but the concept I think would be pretty fun~
