Does anyone else feel kind of let down by the Arcade skin line this time around? I feel like Malz was definitely due for a new skin and I know it has been a little while for Brand and Ziggs but they have some arguably great skins that were released not too long ago. Spirit Fire and Alchemist

I just feel like this was a missed opportunity for some other champions that have not seen a skin for years. Yorick, Illaoi, Shen and Swain would have been really cool and great Arcade line skin recipients. Also they are all mages. Why didn't we have some more class diversity this time around like all the other seasons?

I think that's the wrong Picard pose.

Overall I agree that they should have tried to pick a few champs who aren't mages for the skin line and especially Ziggs feels honestly a bit forced(these aren't arcade skins,who are about the players/player characters,but the boss skins who are about boss characters,so why is Ziggs getting a boss skin based on Bomberman?).However I don't think that most of your suggestions would have really worked out here.

Swain is getting his rework,so he is off the list for new skins anyway. And I don't see how Shen or Illaoi would fit that well into the boss line.

The only one who could have kinda worked would have been yorick who could have undeads based on other game characters(like a maiden with a pacman ghost as a head?),but we know that they have a skin for yorick in the works,so its not like he isn't getting anything.

Yorick, Illaoi and many others have skins coming as Riot has stated in the State of Skins Dev.

Swain is in the beginning of being completely overhauled as he was announced as the next big VGU, so he will NOT see any new skins until that is completed (most likely next year)
