Jhin Can Get 3 Skins in One Year, Yi Can Get 2 Skins in One Year, and Popular Champs Can Get +

How is it that a champion like Jhin can get three skins in one year, Yi can get two skins in one year, and the same popular champions get more imaginative skins and be part of amazing skin lines.

  1. Still no Illaoi skin this year.
  2. Still no Sol skin this year.
  3. Still no Taliyah skin this year.
  4. Still no amazing Karma skin that puts her in a new theme. Winter Wonder Karma really did nothing but add terrible ice particles to an already bland champion.
  5. Still no Liss skin.
  6. Still no Heimerdinger skin.
  7. Still no tentacle/octopus Nami skin.
  8. You know it would be nice to see a good quality skin for Shaco and Akali.

Yet we all know what will happen:

  1. A Snow Day Jinx skin that is 1350RP.
  2. Snow Day Ezreal.
  3. Snow Day Ahri.
  4. Snow Day Lux.
  5. Snow Day Ekko.

Explain to me how you are being more diverse and fair in terms of your skin selection? I see the same f****ng champions getting the same high dollar skins and creative skin lines while other ones get ignored year after year. Now you are on this kick of giving the same champions multiple amounts of skins in one year. Two Yi skins, three Jhin skins and skins in amazing fashion for the same popular champions. Here I am telling the same group of Developers what everyone else is saying.

DO MORE FOR CHAMPIONS YOU CLAIM TO LOVE BUT ACTUALLY DON'T GIVE.

  1. illaoi has already been announced to get a new skin and there was even a vote for which one.

  2. Sol isn't that popular.

  3. (not sure about this one)

  4. karma got a challenger skin which was after the winter skin. conqueror.

  5. no one plays liss.

  6. same as 5. (maybe just a little high playerbase not enough to warrent a frontlining skin.)

  7. nami recently got a skin and then wolf chose to make skt nami. so she got 2 skins in a short amount of time.

  8. maybe with shaco sure, but didn't akali recently get the shushi skin with the rest of that batch, along with her not being that popular since her rework.

Riot is a still a business and like every other business that wants to make money they will cater to the majority. If you want riot to focus more on lesser champs, get the playerbase to play those champs so riot has an incentive to give them skins.

Yorick Viktor Cassiopeia Zyra and Rengar all got skins this year. I think Riot's doing an alright job finding a medium between giving popular champion skins and giving skins to less popular ones.

To be fair Lissandra got the impressive Program skin literally last year which is VERY imaginative and creative. I see an improvement. We got Cassio, Yorick, Viktor skins and soon we will get an Illaoi skin. I'm sure there will be much more. Also Taliyah will get the SSG skin and it's very likely that she will receive a regular skin next year, too. So at least 2 skins for Taliyah in a year.

Warwick 2015 was a good year.
