@Riot - Regarding the IG Skins ... and Xayah

Hi everyone. So, I'd say most people agree that the IG skins were a success. They look absolutely phenomenal, and I love the "dark/fallen angel" theme behind the skin line. I will admit that my favorite is Rakan's skin ... which brings me to Xayah.

As a Xayah main (okay, fine, onetrick), I was sad to hear that Xayah wasn't getting one of the IG skins, especially once I saw the finished skins on the PBE. Part of this is because I enjoy matching skins with Rakan players, and none of Xayah's current skins (base, Cosmic Dusk, Sweetheart, or SSG) match very well with IG Rakan's white color scheme (at least in my opinion). And while I appreciate those players who are willing to pick a different skin to match, it's unfortunate that in order to match skins perfectly, they can't use IG.

So, that brings me to two options - there may be more options that I've missed, so feel free to comment if you have one. One, I doubt this will happen, but if Riot could make a skin for Xayah using the same skin line theme for IG (they would need to label it something else though and talk to the IG team about it), that would be amazing. All the fan art I've seen for IG Xayah looks stunning, and I'm sure an actual IG skin would look incredible. Two, instead of a perfect match, Xayah's next skin could be a color palette that pairs well with IG Rakan. This is probably the more realistic and/or feasible option, though I would still prefer option one if possible.

So, what do you guys think? Please leave some feedback if you can. Thanks!

Maybe if they made Coven Xayah with a white chroma it would be a decent match? Just thinking of already existing non-esports skinlines. :P

Overall the reason for this was because the players were able to choose which champs will get the skins and they simply chose Rakan, but not Xayah.

Otherwise Riot is planning to always release matching skins for the 2, so I think the only chance for a matching Xayah-skin would be if she was part of the next championship-skins(and even if the next winning team isn't iG, then they could still try to make the 2 skins as fitting as possible)
