@Riot KateyKhaos. Can we expect the next ultimate skin soon-ish or not for a while?

It's been about a year since DJ Sona came out. So the next Ultimate skin should be coming. I was wondering if you could give us a rough estimate of how long it would be. Say, could we expect it before summer, or not until fall/early next winter. I don't need anything exact, just want to know if I should keep my hopes up and check the PBE for it every two weeks. Or not have to expect it for a while.

Also, any hints on what role it is for?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

We haven't announced anything. Can't give any hints, sorry!

Sorry if this feels like I'm jumping on you, but I've been wanting to ask you for a while- Are we ever going to get a Sion skin? Hammer Sion is legacy so it's hard to access and none of the others are exactly awesome. To me it seems like Sion's model is perfect for a skin because he has so many little "stand out" parts of his design, his huge weapon, beartrap-esque jaw, burning metal thingy on his stomach etc. Has anything been considered for him?

RiotmoonstonesFeb 12, 20168 votes

TL;DR - Yes, there will definitely be more Sion skins. Now that he's been updated, we have a brand new model to work with! He's certainly been brought up in ideations before.

RalanrFeb 12, 20164 votes

Any predictions with the year? We know he's on the list for new skin eligibility, we want to know if it'll be soon or is being worked on.

I know it's asking a lot. But we Sion lovers are desperate.

I can't give any details, unfortunately. D: We generally don't discuss what may or may not be in development/when things may be coming out. Diana is an exception because you guys picked the champion, and you knew who won All Star. :P

RalanrFeb 12, 20165 votes

I see. Thank you for your professionalism.

[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

I'll just be in the corner hoping for a new Sion skin soon.

Katey, the fact that you are answering these questions at all is help enough.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to say. D: We generally do not announce skins for champions in advance because internal timelines may change, and in some rare cases, we may scrap the idea entirely.

Aina of the RainMay 10, 20161 votes

:( could you atleast make sure Princess Ezreal is a thing in the near future? id love a skin like that for ezreal

NetherlifeOct 7, 20161 votes

And a Prince Taric skin to be released with it. It's practically mandatory.

Does the All Star skin for Diana hindered the release of any potential Diana skins in close future (aka this or early next year)?

RiotmoonstonesSep 19, 20162 votes

Yes, the skin counts in her catalog, which means you likely won't see a Diana skin for a bit.

Phoenix Kotori Sep 19, 20161 votes

Lame it was skin that really failed to hit the mark...

Deep Terror NamiSep 19, 20163 votes

I would've voted for Teemo if I had heard this first.

turkeyBACONFeb 13, 20161 votes

Can it become standard practice to have a skin release with a VU? Especially if its a champ that hasn't had a skin because of the pending VGU? i.e. Yorick and Eve. I would include Taric but it's likely too late unless the skins team can come up with something in a couple of months.

RiotmoonstonesFeb 16, 20162 votes

That's a tall order, as it's challenging to time things alongside each other. We did it with Fiora and PROJECT Fiora, but her update was much smaller than some of the others, like Taric, for example. That said, a skin coming out a patch or two after is much more feasible, and something worth discussing!

As a player who loves to play Sion... (and still plays him actually) I just gotta get a few words off my chest. Norse mythology. Ragnarok Einherjar I'm not expecting you to do anything with them, nor am I expecting a reply. But I did want to get it off my chest :p The concept is just too awesome imo summoner 31

DTT is a legendary skin, not an ultimate skin.

RalanrFeb 11, 20169 votes

You'll have to forgive me, I'm unaware of the difference.

SharjoFeb 11, 201610 votes

Ultimate skins are usually transforming skins with multiple models and altered visuals for each form. Legendary skins are meant to offer an entirely different theme for the champion that's different from their base theme. Something like that anyway.

Essentially ultimate skins are super ultra mega legendary skins.

We've only had 3 ultimate skins: Pulsefire Ezreal, Spiritguard Udyr and DJ Sona.

RalanrFeb 11, 20164 votes

I see. Interesting.

Sahn UzalFeb 12, 20166 votes

SGU is a skin? Damn I thought I just bought a visual update.... summoner 31

LùmenOct 21, 20161 votes

Well, it doesn't have a different concept than the regular Udyr Spirit Guardian - Spirit Walker Go figure, it's a visual update for 3250 RP if you ask me

pulsefire Ezreal was originally a legendary and i think it should of stayed at legendary price because it loses he greatest part Ezreal's Cute face and sexiness

Udyr has different effects for each animal form he takes in some of his emotes and his forms look so epic when ranks the ability to 5
