Making past Victorious skins available again?

So I had a thought regarding the availability of the Victorious line of skins. Obviously one of these has been released every season for players who end the season Gold or higher. What if placing gold rewarded you with a "Golden Medalion" that you could then spend in the store to pick one of the Victorious skins of your choosing. This would make it so that folks who haven't been playing the game for years might be able to obtain past Victorious skins as opposed to never being able to obtain them.

Last season, I worked my tail off to try and get Gold for the Victorious Maokai skin. Maokai has been one of my favorite champs since I started playing, and I was so hyped for the reveal. Unfortunately, i fell short... (Silver 2) and my hopes and dreams of ever owning this skin were crushed. :( I would LOVE LOVE LOVE the opportunity to still unlock this skin someday as I feel poised to make it to gold this season. (already silver 4). I think this unlocking of the opportunity to choose a victorious skin from yesteryear would be such a great addition especially for those newer players who never got the chance to earn the older skins or so that folks may have a 2nd chance to earn it if you put in the work during the next season.

What say you rito boards?

I know how you feel. I tried so hard when Morgana was reveal for the Victorias skin if season 3. Work my butt off but at the end only made it to silver 1. :(

Morgana is my main champ for both mid and support. I'll forever blame Lissandra for crushing my dreams of ever owning that skin.

I think it is worse for new players who started after various season. I understand it is a reward for those long-time players. But it sucks to be anyone else who wants them. Playing from season1 isn't inherently something that should be praised or belittled.

I think a system like this would be very rewarding. I am a support main, so while any victorious skin is nice, I would prefer to have victorious Janna/Morganna. Not to mention that I've ever even seen a victorious Janna in any game I've played and I've been playing for over three years. Never seen black alister either, amazing skins that are never used.

Yeah, great point! I feel like it would be awesome for everyone to be able to snag a victorious skin that fits their role for all the hard work they put in to their position all year long. PLZ RITO :) you would make us all very happy... and im not sure who would take issue with this. As long as their is some special border or something for those who earned them in their respective seasons. Just my thoughts!

Either way, I'm pumped to finally have made it to GOLD for the first time since season :D Victorious Graves, here i come babyyyy :D Good luck at the end of your seasons everyone! YOU CAN DO IT! :D

I agree.

Here's another reason why .... Cause I think Maokai is shit and I was pissed as hell getting some skin I'll never use [slayer-jinx-unamused]

All I want is elise or Janna skin, but I started playing only a few seasons ago.
