A little more than a year ago, Gun Goddess Miss Fortune got released. Fast forward today, not only there's nothing even announced for ultimate skins, but we also don't know if there's even gonna be one this year.

If you are still lacking new ideas for unique aspects for new ultimate skins Riot, just ask the community please.

It's not so much the lack of an idea (I'm sure they could come up with plenty of concepts for a theme), but rather finding something that qualifies for an Ultimate skin.

Ultimates are special because they push the tech of skins forward in some way. Ezreal had an evolving model, Udyr had 4 different models in one champion, Sona had 3 entirely different models coupled with 3 background music tracks that her team could listen to (and using abilities added levels to the song as well). Lux was 10 entirely different skins in one, with the ability to evolve them as the game progressed (and it completely redesigned how skins are coded in the game due to how much data it would need to carry).

They already ran into the problem with GGMF where they weren't really sure what to do next. There's not much more headroom for how they can develop skins, so they reused older things they already developed (hence the lower cost of GGMF). However, we've seen how the community reacted to that (poorly), so Riot is likely holding off on a new ultimate until they can actually come up with some kind of new tech to use.

I wanted a Katarina ultimate skin [zombie-nunu-bummed]

I wanted her in a frilly dress for a change and since she's a spinny spinny girl I wanted ger to become a ballerina and in my mind since she's an ass ass in she could be white and tidy and become darker and more twisted with kills and have effects from white feathers (at first) to black feathesr and blood (with kills) but now she got a regular skin so I bet if they are gonna make a new ultimate skin it will be for Ahri or Jinx [zombie-nunu-bummed]

But maybe they aren't even planning it. Maybe prestigue skins are way more profitable, also I bet GG MF didn't sell that well. I see MF very often and most of the time she's in another skin (btw GG MF is trash imo) but I still see elementalist Lux and DJ Sona very often)

I'd also love an ultimate skin for Darius. But I have no ideas for him

Also I'm not even gonna bother asking riot to make a poll to determine next ultimate skim because at the end of the day the decicion would be up to the Chinease servers*[zombie-brand-facepalm]*
