If you like the SG line, I'm happy for you (a rant)

But this was really disappointing to see. I'm fine with not getting the skins I want. I'm fine with the skins I DO want going to champs I don't play, but my god is the routine getting old of the usual suspects gets new skins.

If you're going to have favorites, why not just delete other champs?

This is Ahri's 9th skin This is Ezreal's 11th skin This is Syndra's 6th skin - I'm not too upset by this one This is Soraka's 8th skin This is MF's 11th skin

I hate to think "this is all about money" but if you keep dumping money into the champs that make you money, then people will only play the same old champs. I'm just frustrated with the decision making on these new skin lines.

MF is one of the originals, of course she has a lot of skins. Most of hers are just costume changes, low RP/legacy price skins.

A minority actually like the new SG skins, the old team (lux, poppy,jinx,lulu,janna) was and is so much better. I would be fine with these new SG skin if they weren't so half ass and so bland compared the original team. The only skin worth buying is Soraka's tbh, at least it was made well.

And Ahri getting the legendary skin over Soraka, "The Star Child", is a slap in the face.

I don't know why you're taking into account their classic skins. Ezreals has 4 skins that were released on 2010 and almost all of his skins are recolors or costume change. Also, Riot already announced that they're doing skins for champions that haven't got one in a while, I don't really see the point on putting the blame on a single skin line. Personally I like this skin line (I think all of them would have made a good legendary skin).

Ezreal, MF and Soraka have been in the game since the beginning. They are going to have a lot of skins. Most of their skins are legacy and/or crummy recolors. All of Ezreal's skins suck, he's got the crappiest Ultimate skin that's worse than most 1350 skins, he's got Arcade, which I personally don't really like, Debonair is ok and the rest are recolors. Star Guardian might be his best skin. Soraka has similar issues: her best skin is Reaper, and it's not available year round. Plus it's a fantasy and style not every Raka player will enjoy.

I'll grant you Ahri on this point. She suits the skin line fine but I would have much rather seen Syndra get the Legendary skin. She could have been a cool take on a "fallen Magical Girl".

I personally am a fan of the skin line, so these are some of my favorite skins for each respective Champion. To each their own, though.

I don't hate the line, but I don't think another group was needed.

And personally I would have preferred they stayed with teenage/kid champions rather than doing Star Guardian veterans.

I hate the star guardian line. I was fine with the first group they were alright the Jinx skin is the only good one in the line. They just need to stop making these skins or at the very least don't put the same champions in the same skins Taric deserves a SG skin much more than Ez or Arhi he legit talks about the stars all the time and is the protector of the world. Soraka deserved the legendary more than Arhi (The way they made Arhi's legendary skin makes me hate that champ even more her personality and voice lines make me cringe).

We also need some more Twisted Fate TwistedFate and Annie Annie skins

Has anyone noticed that Syndra's orbs look similar to Battle Boss Ziggs' ult? Overall i think the skins are ok but I mostly like Soraka's.
