Dunk. Master. Illaoi.

Since riot forget to mention the forth and ONLY skin worthy of the brawny brunette juggernaut, I felt it needed saying.

Why the bloody hell isn't Dunkmaster Illaoi an option?

I'm pretty sure Dunkmaster Illaoi is a matter of "when", not "if".

I'm holdin you to this Riot! Darius has had control of the court for too damn long! [darius-angry]

Sometimes it’s hard to get the team to agree on whether or not a champion fits a theme. We have a skin in development right now (to be released later this year) that has the team divided. Some people feel it’s a slam dunk. Some feel it’s not the most obvious fit, but a risk worth taking. Others feel adamant that it’s a bad fit. At the end of the day, you will either decide to pick it up because you love it, or you won’t because you don’t. If we never take these kind of risks, we’ll never know. You will let us know if we got it right or wrong. We’ll learn something from it, good or bad, and make decisions for the future.

... I feel like we’re tackling some major pain points this year and feel confident committing to you that you will be receiving skins for Cassiopeia, Viktor, Yorick, Illaoi (and more) over the next 12 months. We know there are others you would add to that list; they are likely on our list as well.

Like he said, it is a question of "when". And we got the answer "not now". ^^

Yeah it should have been the next skin

That's what I've been saying!

I'm against it because Illaoi's "dunk" is on E and doesn't have the cooldown that R does. To me, this makes the skin less meaningful. When Darius dunks, it's most likely a kill.

the dunk is on the W and R, not on the E

One thing is right, though.

Illaoi's dunks are less impressive. Darius' dunk is on an execute ability, can lead to a kill or even dunk series of kills.

Illaoi's dunks are less impactful. Her w is just a basic ability and makes her tentacles slam, they can be meaningful if the tentacle hits, or not. Same for her ult, it can be devastating, but if the enemy is smart and disengages, then you have that epic dunk animation... with absolutely no outcome.

And her spamming so many dunks close to each other with W reduced cooldown in R.... It definitely doesn't have the same punch to it like Darius.

Or sorry, yea. E is the spirit steal thing. Regardless, because of the short CD on W I don't think she really needs a dunk skin.
