I can see Karma, and Aphelios.

But why is Lee Sin, Nidalee, Vladimir, and Soraka getting a Nightbringer skin, while Soraka also gets a Dawnbringer skin? I can see Vladimir and Soraka. But why now? They would have been perfect for the next upcoming Dawnbringer vs Nightbringer skin line. It was a cool skin line, but that just destroyed it for me.

Lee Sin makes no sense and would fit the Dawnbringer line, with maybe a former rival or Noxian evildoer. Nidalee should be pared against some other evildoer.

Why are these even here? This out left flank and unwanted. These should have been saved for a later date for hype, to sell more. Have everyone at Riot forgotten how to run a business? I love Riots skin team, they can be the most creative, but come on. A waste of time, creativity, and money.

Just my opinion, what you guys think?

Random boards user thinks he knows business better than a billion dollar international company's professional marketing team. Whats new?

A lot of your points are rather silly. Nidalee doesn't need to be paired against an evil doer, because the whole point of Nightbringer is to make them an "evil doer". The whole point of skins is to change the character into something they aren't, and occasionally that means making them a "bad guy". Lee Sin doesn't have to be a Dawnbringer just because he's a "good guy" in the lore. In fact Nightbringer makes more sense and is a direct reference to his Runeterra lore, where he naively sought power, became overly arrogant, and struggles to control the fierceness of the dragon spirit.

Beyond that misunderstanding, you aren't really clear what you don't like about the skins. WDYM when you ask why the skins were picked? They were picked for the same reason nearly all skins are picked, to varying degrees, because Riot thought they were cool and would sell money.
