Yorick just got a VGU, calm down

Which is like several skins plus a huge investment in gameplay design and coding. I don't think people are going to die if he doesn't get a skin for a few more days. You are asking the art team to come up with designs on a champion they JUST came up with designs for. There are champions more desperate for new artistic input like... Swain.

Swain needs a VGU, I wouldn't bother giving him a skin till he gets one. Same goes for any VU, VGU slated champions. And VGU champs should get artistic priority over recently VU/VGU champs getting a new skin.

Calm down. They aren't going to stop the artist from coming up with skin ideas for other champions just because they haven't had an idea for outdated or recently updated champions. What's more is if you want the artists to have creative passion then there is a limit to how forced skins would be.

Yorick isn't "entitled" to a new skin, it would be nice to get one like any other new skin. But it shouldn't be "forced". Change out names and this applies to any other champion. If YOU have a skin idea post a drawing or description, be a creator, not a complainer.

Thank you

In fairness, Both Taric and Fiora got a new skin really, really close after their VGU's. I'm still upvoting, but it is worth keeping in mind.

Yorick hasn't gotten a skin in 6 years, Swain in like 4, alongside a host of other champions

Riot should have given Yorick a skin years ago, and if they are so deadset on delaying skins for VGUs then they better hurry the fuck up with their VGUs because the list gets bigger with each patch.

Plus, PROJECT Fiora and Pool Party Taric invalidates your entire post.

The fact of the matter is they are yet again giving skins to champions, high dollar ones, that get one every single year. I don't have a problem with them giving skins to a popular champion, but come on . . . . Yorick, Viktor, Heim, Cass, Sivr and many more . . . and here we are . . . another skin for Orianna and Khazix. If the leaks are true Ezreal is, yet again, getting another expensive skin this year. What about all of the other champions that would be fantastic for the Star Guardian line, but are being ignored because the skin team is being bias. Sorry . . . I have zero sympathy for the hate they are getting.

I am slowly becoming destabilized every day there is no sign of a Yorick skin being created.

Shen Still waiting after 1 year and a half since my update?. yes I have 6 skins but none of them has special effects. None of them has a special recall animation.

Trust me, I understand your pain. Yorick,Illaoi and Cassio need one asap too.

The problem with Yorick is he is on the same boat as Heimerdinger Zyra Zac Illaoi they require a lot more work than your normal champion because a simple skin would not suffice. They need extra work for their minions and extra models.. I mean we could get a lot of skin but it would be similar to Malz where most of the skin feel quite lackluster.

I dont care when it happens, all i know is it BETTER be the crazy cat lady yorick we all know we deserve. UNLESS they make that one legendary next april fools, in which case i'd like idk a Blood Moon or maybe a Halloween Skin because duh lol.

Can Twitch get a skin that isn't at a 750 price and actually have effects?

Does this mean we can get a Brand skin? I have an idea.

We have a cold fire, a spirit fire, and multiple flavors of just plain fire.

Personally I'd like a legendary that is based on Cosmic Star Fire. Think like the visuals of other cosmic skins but with more fire.

Alternitavely I will be satisfied if Brand Jhin and two others can get a new skin line. Quadrakill.

No. when a champion only has 3 skins then of fucking course people will bitch about it. If you don't toss the dog a bone, it will rip your leg off and eat that bone instead a la Ramsay bolton and his hounds.

Cassiopeia item 3070

There's no way to justify Cassiopeia's ongoing lack of skinreleases. It's been 50 months (over 4 years) since her Jade Fang skin was released, she even received 2 reworks (blame Riot for messing up the first one) and we STILL haven't seen a single skin for her despite her state as a popular esports pick.

She's literally the female Yorick of the game right now, no one else is waiting as long as her so far (with the sole exception of your mentioned VGU candidates). Cass gets flatout ignored by their media and skin-department, no matter what. And here we thought Riot pandered to the esports audience, apparently not - this is flatout hypocrisy.
