A gentle reminder for the skin team.

Of the 12 champions released after Zac, 7 of them have gotten a new skin. That's more than half. We understand maybe Zac isn't easy to make skins for, since they could be seen as recolors, but why not something such as...

Super Zac - He even has a line about this. Put Zac in a generic super hero costume.

Debonair Zac - He does say he wants a suit, never specifies which one, alternatively could add to the Secret Agent line.

Arcade Zac - Zac would be pretty perfect for a super retro looking skin, complete with choppy/8bit animations, tongue in cheek references to his blobs being power ups/random fruits, passive respawn could have 1-up somewhere, etc.

Secret Weapon is an example of what we probably don't want. Stuff like bubblegum/desert/elemental would just be recolors, which was the main reason why people were not thrilled over his release skin. Just put the guy in a costume, give em a cape, and let him rock~

Of the 46 champions released after Yorick, 40 of them have gotten a new skin. Yorick's last skins were his launch skins, Pentakill and Undertaker Yorick. Come the 22nd of June, it'll have been 4 years since then. That's only 2 months away.

I understand that some champions are difficult to make skins for and Yorick's current rigging and kit doesn't make for many exciting skins, but COME ON. I'm not even a Yorick player and I know that nearly 4 years for a post release skin is just saddening.

Yo!

I just wanted to pop in and comment! Yes, Zac is a special snowflake that requires a lot of work when it comes to creating skins for him. But just because he's difficult doesn't mean we won't make a skin for him. Also keep in mind that we slot skins for patches throughout the year, so specific skins may be slotted for specific events later in the year.

We want to make the right Zac skin for Zac players, we don't want to rush something out that will just end up being a band aid.

Zac doesn't need a skin, come on already! Like who would even buy a Zac skin if they released one? Teemo skins and Annie skins are where it's at. Jeepers creepers you guys!

Actually, a desert Zac would be pretty cool. I can see him turning into sand instead of being blobby, kinda like Azir's soldiers. He would actually have a lot of flow to him if they made a Shurima Zac Skin.
