To all of you saying that they are making star guardian skins for champions that fit the theme.

You're missing the point of those rants on the front page about skins.

The point was that Riot should be diverting more time into making skins for other champions, and they don't have to be the star guardian theme cough talking to you @Deep Terror Nami cough. While I personally don't really care about which champions get skins, it does seem like Riot has a particular bias towards certain champions when making skins.

It can be considered fair bias however, as champions with bigger playerbases will obviously help make more profits off skins. But it's also becoming obvious that Riot is quite ignorant of champions with smaller playerbases.

Overall, I just wanted to stop people from misinterpreting the issue presented in those posts on the front page. I hope this sheds some light on the rants that people posted.

well here is my reason for saying it :

i said this in another comment but i get the idea behind the skins.i just dont agree to it thats all. i mean i love the characters in the ways they are known to me i cant imagine them in different themes with different personalities that are WAAAAY far off from their original characteristics they wouldn't be the same for me at least not in all different themes.

for example sona fit as a gothic themed metal keyboardist to me because she is still mute she is still playing music and she still has that feminine lady like look to her.

but however i look at it i cant fit the dark personality badass pirate queen into a cutesy magical flying colorful girl.

upvote for you tho.

See I agree with this; at first I was going insane because holy shite! MF skin WOOOO, even to the point of hoping it's legendary. When i slept and realized how.....off it is for Miss Fortune to be so cute and pretty when she's supposed to be, sexy and dangerous. I didn't like the idea as of much. I still think her best skin even after this is Captain Fortune and I hope if they ever make a legendary for her it has her being what she is, sexy and Dangerous.

Mf and ahri are supposed to be elite veteran star guardians, while the cutesy lux squad are cadets.

Ideas and skins for other champs shouldn't be put on hold just to prioritize champs with fewer skins. Its hypocrisy cause, then you truly are now neglecting champs intentionally, to give skins to other champs, which is why the community started complaining about Yorick no skins xx years Ahri xx skins in one year in the first place.

i think most believes that those champions with fewer skins are already being neglected intentionally for the sake of more popular ones

Just because they fit less skin themes in comparison doesn't mean they are being neglected intentionally.

true but i guess the expectation is bringing new themes. which im not sure is always a good idea or not, not every new "theme" can end up looking very good.
