BARD IS THE LONGEST OVERDUE CHAMPION FOR A SKIN

Bard hasn't gotten shit since 2016 and it's a far bigger tragedy than Ornn because Bard has been neglected for longer than that dude has even existed. When it comes to skins Bard isn't just long overdue for a skin, he's the LONGEST overdue champion for a skin and it's awful because he isn't new, he isn't weak, and he isn't so unpopular that riot wouldn't make any money either. (The snowday skin was a hit,) also Bard's whole thematic makes him so fucking easy to fit into a skin line. Riot literally has no excuse for ignoring him for so long.

  • Bard would have been a great candidate for blood moon, but riot felt giving Pyke 2 skins was a better idea.

  • Bard could have been a great battle boss, but riot felt giving yasuo 2 skins was a better idea.

  • Bard has a ton of directions you could have went with for Halloween, but fuck that too.

  • Bard was practically made for immoral journey and his ratings would have been a great reason to make him victorious, but that ship has sailed.

  • Bard might of also been a great DJ for the newest skin line... Why the fuck not? His whole forte is music, and again, you can't say Bard doesn't sell because his snow day skin was a massive success.

Even the unpopular champs have received skins sooner than Bard. In the bigger scheme of things, were talking about a decently popular champion that performs well and isn't in need of a re-work STILL being neglected for 3 years. Riot gave "unpopular champs" skins with elder-wood and infernal, but those champs aren't really even unpopular aside from Shen and Galio who STILL haven't been waiting nearly as long as Bard.

P.S- Taric, Vel'Koz, Rek'sai etc. Are actually longer overdue than Bard... There is also Kindred, but riot confessed that their thematic is flawed so I'd imagine that has slowed down Kindred's progression towards getting a skin.

DJ Bard for the new True DMG skin line woulda been cool. Can make his meeps records. Easy peezy. He already doesn't "talk" so giving him a bandana or something of the like for his face would work well.

Actually Kindred is another that has been waiting longer than Bard. Bard at least got a gold chroma last holiday.

Just because other champs get neglected doesn't mean Ornn shouldn't get his first skin since release either.
