Reworked champions should be released with a "Release Skin" too...

Am I the only one who thinks reworked champions should be released with a "Release Skin" Just like new champs :3 I know it's a lot of work for riot but for a champion with only 3 skins like urgot that shouldn't really be a problem.. How cool was it if Urgot had another skin ?? and if it is implemented in the future that would be great. :D

It would only really potentially delay the reworks. I would rather have a decent champion now than one with a skin about a month or two later.

Now this is an odd thing. See something two things happen with reworks. First is we get several new skins basically. When they update a skin they are also considering the effects and theme of the skin. WW for example had like 7 skins and they were all amazing quality. Now a champion with low skins is in a bit of a pickle. Riot wants to give them more but that is a lot of time. They can do it but it's hard. So they are pushed onto a higher priority on their skin queue line and left for some sweet idea to come around. Sion is a great example.

The second thing that can happen is the champion getting a skin on their rework. Gangplank got this with his Captain skin. It's rare but sometimes we get a new skin on the champion release. Otherwise, I am fine with their current go at things.

That would just delay reworks even more tho so it wouldn't be worth it.

Honestly, I just want the return of "classic" skins.

Honestly, they're being released with more than one skin. Almost every skin gets completely upgraded, and that's enough for me. It spares my poor wallet.

Well, this would be (or have been) a decent bonus with champs who have a low amount of skins &/or haven't received one in years like Urgot, Yorick, Eve, Swain, Mordekaiser.

But for champs like Warwick who already have a decent selection of skins &/or received one in recent years, I don't think it's would be necessary to release a new skin with them. Think about it, Nunu, Cho'gath, Akali, Pantheon & Fiddlesticks (yes, these champs are in the potential VGU box) players aren't exactly starving for skins.

If any rework got a new skin it should be Star Guardian Urgot.

I feel like they should only do it for champs with less tha 5 skins, because Warwick definitely didn't need a new skin, but it would have been nice for Yorick, and as you said, Urgot. I think Galio was alright with just those skins, although I wouldn't complain if he got a new skin because I love Galio to bits. Eve could definitely use a new one when they rework her in my opinion
