So when are Illoai, Aurelion, and Taliyah getting new skins?

In a few months, it'll be 2 years since Illaoi got a skin besides her release, and it's been over a year for Aurelion and Taliyah. I know they aren't really popular right now, but Jhin has 3 skins already. (Don't get me wrong, I love Jhin.)

I feel like riot pulls a name out of a hat when choosing which champions to give new skins. Just kidding, but I definitely agree that Taliyah and Sol need some skins. Wouldn't mind seeing some skins for them or yorick either. [slayer-jinx-wink]

Soon kled should get a skin too. Like pool party kled.

lol all these people complaining when they made a post about this 3 months ago.

I feel like we’re tackling some major pain points this year and feel confident committing to you that you will be receiving skins for Cassiopeia, Viktor, Yorick, Illaoi (and more) over the next 12 months. We know there are others you would add to that list; they are likely on our list as well.

That limit has since been shortened to 9 months. Big timeframe ≠ Long wait

Also, you can't use Jhin as an example; he only has two skins that were within Riot's control to make. The SKT T1 skin was requested by Bang. Part of the reward for winning Worlds is choosing which champion gets the esports skin.

Occasional reminder that I still wait for my Order of the Lotus Illaoi skin.

Wait jhin only has 3 skins? QUICKLY HE NEEDS TO HAVE ONE MORE TO BE PERFECT!

Upvoted for making sense. I also want a new Yorick skin as well.

In 10 years. They were originally planned to be released relatively soon, but every time someone asks for them, they postpone them by 1 day.

Illaoi was almost two years ago?! What!?

Almighty7/24/2017, 9:58:16 PM4 votes

Bloodstone Taliyah.

Dark Star Aurelion Sol.

Pool Party Illaoi.

Riot, it was not that difficult to come up with these ideas.

Right after ezreal, caitlyn and ahri need their required 15th skins and don't for get the legendary Lee skins and we also need about 3 more skins for each of the lcs meta champions. So in about 23 years one of them should get like an April folly skin of something

To be fair Jhin got a skin because he was SUPER popular (makes sense) and esports skins dont really count as those are based outside of factors other than "Riot felt like it"

Cassio hasnt got a skin in 5 years. I'm not seeing the issue.

Torterra627/24/2017, 11:47:12 PM2 votes

Riot actually said that SKT skins dont count towards a champions skin count. so if jhin didnt get the bloodmoon skin he would still be in line for deservign a new skin

DeusVult7/25/2017, 12:09:43 AM2 votes

Riot missed the boat that they could have had by releasing dark star Aurelion Sol

Isn't Illaoi getting a dunkmaster skin soon? I remember seeing that somewhere...

Baron Perenolde7/25/2017, 6:26:41 AM2 votes

When Cassiopeia, Swain and Yorick do, probably.

My poor Taliyah will NEVER get a skin......... :(

VelvetCrotch7/25/2017, 2:40:51 PM2 votes

And Yorick!!! xD

Veraska7/25/2017, 4:12:07 PM2 votes

Hivequeen illaoi- you know in dreadnova Gangplanks recall animation there's that tentacle that pulls him into outer space? That's illaois tentacle

Thunder lord aurelion sol- like the volibear skin and totaslly not an ao shin reference ;)

Star guardian Taliyah- this is a tougher sell but I personally would still want Taliyah to be good and positive character, her particles are a bit tough to work with in the SG line tho

Some other champs to consider

Program Cassiopeia- she hasn't had a skin in 5 years and it'd be nice to give her a skin that wasn't just another kind of snake, make her a robot lol

Dark star tahm kench - his maw is a star swallowing black hole from which nothing can escape, give him a galactic vibe

Bloodmoon yorick- his spade shovel and cloak of shadow are very distinct and I think this is a good theme to give yorick an alternative color palette that shadow isles champs rarely get (its why I love bm kalista and thresh)

Aurelion Sol needs an Ao Shin-esque Storm Dragon skin. Just saying. I'd pay so much for that shit.

Blakiepug7/24/2017, 7:02:34 PM2 votes

After Jhin gets 4 more.

I mean... where is my Rainbow Weaver Tali?

I need this cloud-surfing unicorn lady, turning Rift into a grassland and ultimately riding a rainbow.

C'mon!
