It has been over 4 years since these champs have had skins

Some of them being prominently played in competitive and high ranked queues so imma give yall my guesstamates on why each of these haven't had skins or skin ideas if i have them

Udyr: Rumors of a VU or a VGU has been heard of but nothing confirmed or denied, still no reason to be the longest for 1494 days ( 4 Years, 1 Month) Skarner: Hasn't been very great and might get another VGU or something as such, Stuck in purgatory Xerath: Waiting for another shurima lore drop?? Zilean: Not alot of themes truely fit the old man, maybe its time for a mecha zilean skin? Shaco: Was rumors of an GU but still nothing, Or even a VGU anything. Cant make a Shaco Shaco Joke skin for halloween? Mordekaiser: Getting a VGU Rek'Sai: Think the ball has been dropped in terms of what they could do with them Kassadin: After the VU and Cosmic Dropped, Kinda fell silent and with a wimper as kassadin fell out of relevancy. Vel'Koz: Another sin of the Dropped the ball in ideas bucket Sion: After the Mecha Sion Skin, There wasn't much really needed, we got chromas but chromas aren't new skins. Just recolors. Nocturne: Has relatively cheap skins 2 of which are locked in halloween, 1 skin is the legendary skin of Eternum, which in itself hasn't been given much love. Shyvana: Needs a VU, Cant make a Dungeons and dragons based skin for her? Kindred: Another ball for the idealess department Volibear: Could do great with a Ornn Vs Aniva Vs Volibear idea, or even a wild idea from the Udyr Story https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/silence-for-the-damned/ Taric: Could go great with the cosmic line, instead of gems, stars! (2 Years, 9 Months, 2 Weeks and 6 Days)

While this is a great game and I love it to death, You need to give the champions who dont get spotlight love so they can get some light. there are so a handful champs that have recieved 2-3 and even 4 skins in the past 2 years, There are some that get the occasional extra skin spotlight with being tossed into a series.

Please Riot, Give us a response on why these champs haven't been given any love.

Love, A Concerned Player Azuria (Donnıng The Mask)

PS. If this isnt in the correct catagory then please move it to how you see it fit

RIP Kindred, Kalista and Rek'Sai... and everyone else on here but they have the least skins on the list

Y'know, I'm like "Syndra needs a skin" and then I remember there are these champs who haven't gotten any in years and I almost feel bad about complaining :')

Still I'll fight for my Legendary Coven Syndra evolving as she maxes her spells, but I do feel bad for these poor mains. But as always, Riot is a company and they can't just drop skins for all these champions because they aren't popular... I understand it's annoying (yes, it was hard to swallow the pill with yet another Lux and Ezreal skin), but I understand where they come from too... It's quite an annoying situation really :/

They didn’t want to give Shaco and Mordekaiser skins because they’ve been wanting to rework them for years. Shaco been having on and off rework for years. Mordekaiser they been wanting to or at the very least revamp him since 2017.

Dam 3 years since Sion last skin. Feel like it wasn’t that long ago.

Reav3 mentioned that Udyr is still high on the rework list, but he's just not as high as Pantheon. I'm expecting he'll probably be the next rework after him though. His feet aren't total pizzas but they're pizzas enough to where Sivir can still deliver them.

Shaco and Zilean are confirmed to be getting skins this year. I wouldn't be surprised if Shaco's skin is Battle Boss with the upcoming Arcade event; he'd be a great counterpart to fellow crazy-smiling Battle Boss Ziggs. I have no idea what Zilean could get though.

Xerath I'm either hoping for Battle Boss or Dark Star. There's several ideas that could work for him and he shouldn't be that hard to make skins for; I think it's just popularity. Same with Rek'Sai and Vel'Koz.

I don't know what happened with Kassadin and Noctune. They're not exactly unpopular? They do have very outdated voicelines though. Maybe they'll get an update in the future; I know Nocturne's at least on the list for a minor rework.
