The community is to blame.

Regarding champs getting a ton of skins. You've probably already heard the argument where Riot gives skins to champs that Sell. But here's the thing. They sell because YOU guys play them! Instead of playing the champs you guys want to see skins for you play the "Meta" instead of creating new metas!!! And believe me there are new metas out there. But this community bandwagon so hard that if you take odd picks your called a troll. If you guys want to see different champions get skins Support them! Stop being slaves to the meta and pick something new. Then you'll see skins for it.

No, the problem is for every Zilean main there are 100 yas and 200 zed mains. Not every champ can be popular in a game with 140+ champs, but that doesn´t mean that mains of less popular champs don´t deserve a minimum level of support.

People play the meta because they want to win, it kinds feeds the endless cycle and circlejerking. You realize most people don't have fun unless they win. So they choose champs known for being winners...thus Riot sees that and wishes to make money of it And this of course they dont want to rework popular champions in fear they'll lose revenue. And if they arent making enough, investors won't invest...and Riot DOESN'T want that.

If you haven't noticed, its the investors that ruins the games of current day, of course greedy game companies cause that cycle.

You're saying that to like 0.00001% of the players globally, and chances are, the people here dont even buy skins

"Pick a champion that riot arbitrarily threw into the gutter so that maybe, just maybe, they'll give them a skin instead of giving yasuo his 100th"

Riot heavily enforces their metas and has a design philosophy that makes it so that some champs are just better than others.

Double top was nerfed, as was funnel, so was 0cs, game's been designed for 8 years around having a mandatory class (ADC), due to how XP works going 1v2+ isn't viable, jungle camp spawn times and early scuttle fights and else limits the jungle champion pool, bot has a weaker turret so that NEEDS to be the duo lane, etc...

What, should we be playing Singed top as his core items get nerfed and they change the entire deathstreak portion of the bounty system to punish his playstyle?

Should we be playing Annie when other champions do about the same amount of damage, but at a greater range, CC, and with mobility?

Why play Blitz when Naut is ridiculously overbuffed, Thresh has a ridiculously large amount of tools, and Pyke is just... Pyke?

You can't really 'rock the meta' with Supports anymore by sending them to solo lanes as their entire kits and scalings were warped around being a babysitter for the first 15 minutes and limiting their solo/early game power.
