What champions do you believe were better for this weeks skin cycle?

Personally I think the theme is boring and not that interesting yet still I believe that the champs that got the skins do NOT deserve them with them having skins pretty recently. So I was wondering what champions do you think deserve the skin instead of Janna, Yi, and fiora?

Personally are the champions that deserve the skins more than those current champs

It's not about deserving the skin, it's about who goes with the theme, and considering the theme of Immortal Journey and the audience it's targeted towards, they were unlikely to give it to any of the champions you listed.

Plus, everyone deserves skins. Equating more is pointless since what's the factor for deserving new skins? Time between? The amount of skins they've had? The quality of their skins? In those cases Yi, Fiora and Janna have good points considering those three have like two high quality skins each.

I do have to slightly disagree here Sharjo, for whereas I totally do think Yi fits this theme, I do want to point out that he did just get a very cool skin back in April, and has with this skin will have 8 skins available to buy in the store, more than any other champ not counting retired content. Janna and Fiora though are fine.

This particular case is unique in that Master Yi is one of League's few "basic" swordsmen, and this skin is based on a Chinese genre, which he can easily be applied to. This skin would not have made sense for Yasuo, as he's entirely slanted towards Japanese swordsmen, nor would it have worked for any of the ninjas, as again, they are slanted towards Japanese genres. Yi, therefore is the only katana/slim sword wielder aside from Fiora who would fit this skin line who doesn't have a kit or general animation/design aesthetic that directly ties him to another culture that this skin line is not intended to represent.

You know, Malzahar has a dagger, and he never uses that either. And the sword is the SACRED Sword, Janna's more of a protector for it, not a user. She taps into its magical power to protect, but she never wields it out of respect and it is not hers to wield. My guess is that Shen will eventually get the Sword from Janna, like some Lady of the Lake/King Arthur type deal. (Idk how likely seeing as I don't know anything about The Immortal Journey.
