What I think about the recent skins

Ok look, I would love to see more skins of Taliyah, Aurelion Sol, Kled, and a few others, but after thinking about it I came up with a conclusion that I think might be legit. I could be completely wrong, but please bear with me and share your thoughts.

Reworks don't make money.

Now riot has been focusing much less on adding more champs and more on reworking what they've got. These reworks are the very cheap champions that everyone already has, or are very easy to acquire. Yorick, Warwick, Urgot, Ryze, and soon to be Eve, Malphite, Swain, Mordekaiser, and Xin. People want new champs like Kayn and Camille right when they launch, so people get impatient and buy them and their release skin with rp. If they rework a champion you've already got with ip a long time ago, they get nothing out of the deal. So, if they release skins for popular champions, they can keep making money. They need to pay their bills too after all. I want my champions to get skins, but they aren't popular enough to make profit out of the deal. They'll get their skins eventually, we just need to be patient.

Now I know people will say "riot is just a very greedy company appealing to weebs to milk their wallets". And my rebuttal is that they have bills to pay too. All the money doesn't go to tryndamere and ryze after all. And those types of people play this game, so it makes sense to give them something they would like. I'm a military historian and sci fi geek, so I really like the omega squad, program, and project skins. They make skins to groups I take interest in, in order to make profit. I might be wrong about all of this, but this is how I see it.

I kinda posted this in the content and creations section, because I didn't know where else to put it. Therefor it got removed, and I relocated it here. Sorry about that riot.

Got nothing but dislikes on this. Should have expected that.

How are they focusing less on releasing new champions? Just this year we got: Xayah, Rakan, Kayn and Ormm is coming. And its still half of year to go.

Complaining about dislikes will not turn those down votes around
