Exactly as the title says. Thanks for giving the mega blockbuster skins to Ekko, Qiyana, and Senna this year.

That's it, just wanted to give some appreciation here since it'll be drowned out on any other platform. And yes, I know Ekko is a consistently good seller and Qiyana + Senna will rake in waifubux, but it's still nice to have a major skin line have multiple PoC in it.

--------------EDIT---------------------- Since the school youth are getting mad, here's the list of all the major skins in 2019 so far. And yes, High Noon Lucian was a skin that came out in 2018

Here's been the big skins this year -Bewitching MF (Prestige'd) -High Noon Ashe (Legendary) -Valiant Sword Riven (Prestige'd) -Prestige Star Guardian Neeko -Star Guardian Xayah (Legendary) -Star Guardian Rakan (Legendary) -Project Irelia (Prestige'd) -Project Pyke (Legendary) -Arcade Caitlyn (Prestige'd) -Battle Academia Lux (Prestige'd) -Battle Academia Ezreal (Legendary) -Prestige K/DA Evelynn -Galaxy Slayer Zed (Legendary) -Fuzzy Fizz (Prestige'd) -Prestige K/DA Ahri -Firecracker Vayne (Prestige'd) -Blood Moon Aatrox (Prestige'd)

I think this is a funny thread to begin with. You seem to be implying riot favors white champions for skin lines. Which isn’t true. You ignored Yasuo and Akali, who are Asian. So by poc you seem to be only implying black people count as poc, which seems sort of racist.

Not that it matters AT ALL what race a certain champ that gets a skin is....

But how is putting 3 black champions in a rap group diversity????

OP, nobody's saying they shouldn't have representation for different ethnicities, just saying that you're sort of overexaggerating how little they give them skins/representation. And some people are justifiably confused at your definition of PoC. That's where the issue comes from.

I think thematically, all the True Damage skins work well in the way they want them to, and it doesn't matter that they're PoC it just works well. It's been mentioned before that 90% of the time, skins are conceptualized, THEN they pick champions to work on the concept with. Like "okay we want a Hip-Hop band. Who fits there?" and since it's a black-dominated genre, they could fit Ekko and Senna in easily.

And like I said, we just think you're not only being selective about your definition of PoC, but underexaggerating a bit how much they do work on those characters relative to the amount of them in the game.

The skins look awesome, skin colour has never really come to mind when I think of a skin, tbh I don't really think about it until someone brings it up.

Why did Vayne get an asian skin when she's not asian?
