About Arcade

Arcade has never really appealed to me....until Ziggs. Ziggs fits in so many themes because he is a yordle (yordles are perfect for multiple themes be they medieval, holiday, tech, supernatural etc.). So Now I think I may get a few Arcade skins. But idk its never really been as exciting as blood moon and Dark Star because those themes have my favorite colors and they fit with a mix of real world and fantasy themes. I love themes of High Tech and Cosmic/Sci fi but i also love martial arts/medieval styles. Dark Star, Blood Moon and Project are three of my favorite lines due to that along with Elemental and Magic Lines (Shadow Isles, Elemental skins etc.). The issue (if you can call it that) with LoL is there are so many lines that fit with individual folks' interests that it is hard to pick just a few skins or champs to call favorites (except for those real world skins like sports and pool party which are....well not as cool by any means).

Which means you have succeeded in providing us with many choices. I say this to say that you are unique. That said, the new Arcade skins aren't. You have Yasuo yet again even though he has much better skins, and Qiyana (ok she looks cool in this one) and Caitlyn who has a legendary which is much better. You hit the mark with Ziggs and Mal last year. When people ask for new champs its because we need uniqueness. Some champs are more outdated or not as modern so legendary and Ultimate skins work for them (Cait and Lux). But then for the champs who are new or have had vu or vgus, any skin works well. For some champs, they have a certain style (Yasuo) it is hard to fit them in a line without them being too basic. So my advice is sure you can be more lenient with SKin Universes/Lines like the Fire Line or Dark Star, Blood Moon, Project because they are so unique and fantastic that any champion can fit in them and look good. I bought Shaco Dark Star and I actually like him because the Dark Stariness takes over and makes him cool.

SO: Ds, Blood Moon, and Project MAKE champions even cooler and this the skins themselves stand on their own.

BUT: Skin lines that are more toned down, or not as fancy or insane art wise (still fun and enjoyable though), require the CHAMPIONS to make the SKINS look good. This is fine unless you choose champions which do not represent a line well. Let me use Ziggs again: Ziggs is both Tech and Magic based and has such a great design (as do most Yordles) that fits both styles. So Arcanist Ziggs and Arcade Ziggs are both amazing because Ziggs does all the work there. But Yasuo's design doesnt work to sell Arcade. On the other hand look at Nightbringer Yasuo. Im just saying lookn at whether the skin does the work or the champion.
