New Champs

Riot i am a League fan, but you guys really don't come up new skins for the new champs. I think a champion should at least have three skins. Riot you should concentrate on making new skins for new champs, stop making skins for old champs they already have enough skins!

I dislike this thought process. I get people wanting skins for champions they like or they think have cool themes, I've been waiting for a new Sion skins since his rework so I feel for you, but that doesn't mean champions with larger skin selections shouldn't get their turn either. The only time when a champion would have too many skins is when their themes cannibalise each other, and we're not at that point yet imo.

I thin Riot is not paying attention to the new champs.

I'm guessing you are a new player . Back in the day we used to get 2 skins per release and they stop that due to the skin being of a vastly inferior quality . Some old champ don't even have more than those 2 or 1 skins I think giving any champ the same possibility of getting a new skin is fair this is ken's frist skin in years.

They used to give champions two release skins at 750 RP and 975 RP quality, but went down to one to focus on quality (if memory serves that was the reason) instead of quantity for new champions.

I thin Riot is not paying attention to the new champs.

So last year Bard and Ekko, who were released that year, got their first post release skins, having not been out for more than a year. Some other more recent champions that went for less than a year without their first post release skin include Kalista, Gnar, Braum, Vel'Koz and Rek'Sai. I feel like they're paying enough attention to the new champs since almost immediately they enter the flow of skin production like everybody else. Tahm Kench, Kindred, Illaoi and Jhin probably have other skin concepts just waiting to be made, and potentially one might even be in production as I type.

They're doing fine. Putting out more than one skin for a champion's release would probably cannibalise sales anyway. Bad business move for Riot.

Buddy, the skin game isn't a fair game.

Take a look at Sion. Ever since his rework he hasn't gotten a new skin. Braum and Gnar were released after him, but they both got two new skins while Sion hasn't gotten any.

"But Sion has lots of skins!"

None of them due the new Sion justice. None of them help showcase the destructive monster that he is. What they do is showcase a very dumb face (except for warmonger, I can live with that) that looks like a dimwitted brute that can be easily tricked by telling them their shoelaces are untied.

New champs should not be first in line to get new skins. Other champions have waited much longer and have fans who really desire these skins (even if it's just a small group of fans here and there, the joys these fans showcase with a new skin is 1000 times better than people going gaga over another skin for a popular champion). New skins for old Champions helps the community feel like Riot cares and remembers these champions, without the fear of a nerf or horror of a backlash nerf from a buff.

Be quiet junior, and get in line. There is a LONG wait.

League already has way too many champions asking for skins now really does not make any sence and as long as they keep bringing more it will be even harder to remember which ones need skins and which not
