What's with Tristana getting her third high quality in a row in such a relatively short time frame?

When there are still others hurting bad for skins. Since Dec. 2015, Tristana has gotten two 1350 skins and a legendary skins. The two 1350 skins aren't even a year apart, and the legendary skin (her second one might I add) wasn't even a year before the first of the two 1350 skins.

Yorick STILL doesn't have a new skin and there's champions like Kled who are still sitting on their release skin (Yorick also fits into this category, he's from a time when champs got two release skins). Then there's others like Viktor who hasn't gotten a skin in almost four years.

People complain about Ahri getting skin after skin but even she's outpaced by Tristana who now has NINE skins, four of which are 1350 or higher (read: about half of them) and three of those 1350+ skins came out in the span of about 1.6 years (which is a shorter time frame than it sounds).

I feel you. Quinn's been out for over four years now and still has nothing above 975 RP. Let's not even mention Yorick who's gone so long without any skins. I think we can rest easy with this one though considering Riot promised he'd definitely be getting a skin some time soon, along with others like Viktor and Illaoi.

And you know what's sad? Viktor could've been good for the omega squad theme... such a waste

I'm always surprised no one ever mentions J4 in these things. I guess he got the fanatic skin 3 years ago, but it has been ages since he has gotten a high quality skin.

For that matter, why is Hecarim of all champions getting another skin??

This guy literally got Elderwood and then World Breaker within the last two years. A full year hasn't even passed since he got World Breaker, whereas like a third of the roster hasn't gotten one in that time.

Not to mention Illaoi, Cass, Heimer, Yorick, Shen, Viktor, etc., or Taliyah, ASol, and Kled still needing their second skin (Kled in particular, Sir Kled isn't spectacular).

This has always struck a nerve with me, the same champions always seem to be on the table for skins and just the same the same champions are always passed over.

I think you guys are forgetting about Tristana's W.

Riot Jump Active: Tristana dashes to the target location, getting looked at by Riot. Whenever Tristana gets a skin, Riot Jump's cooldown is reset.

Yeah on a kinda unrelated note I think it would've been cool to get an Omega Squad skin for a support instead, like maybe Lulu who is also a yordle? Trist has plenty already. Why did we need two new ADC skins at once? Twitch was far more deserving than Trist.

As a clown lover, I've got a bone to pick.

Shaco is played a fair bit, so popularity isn't an issue, and he was reworked. Wild Card Shaco is a great 750 RP skin, but I'm still holding out for a Legendary.

I'm pretty sure it has to come down to popularity.
