I am kind of confused by the Riot Skin team...

Everyone gets a Blood-Moon-Skin. EXCEPT DIANA.

Now there is an awesome Dark-Star-Skin coming, but not for a single champion that stands in connection to a celestial body AurelionSol Leona Soraka Bard Taric , but for the whacky undead chain-dude.

Not saying the skin is not potentially awesome, but this team's decisions on who gets what skin really confuse me every time...

The Dark Star line is the villainous line for the Super Galaxy. They, in fact, have relatively little to do with Stars.

I thought it was a villainous line for Cosmic Reaver....

Either way, still has little to do with Stars and more to do with space villain.

Cosmic Reaver or Dark Star Xerath and I will have better orgasm than I ever had the best.

Skins are a re-imagining of the champions usually, so champions that already go with that theme kind of aren't logic candidates to receive something like that.

Lunar Goddess Diana is not really a re-imagining. Still moon-related. But still works fine. In the same way that Blood-Moon Diana would probably be badass.

Also, having an "evil" version of Leona or Sol with Dark Star would be quite different from their original theme tbh.

"Evil" Leona or Aurelion Sol would be kinda similar to how Aatrox and Syndra have their Justicar skins. Technically they still fit the character's theme, but it's like you're seeing them from a different point of view. Justicar Aatrox is how the armies he fought with saw him, as a kind of beacon to rally around and push for victory.

Justicar Syndra is how she would of been had she heeded the plea to exercise balance with her powers.

I said usually, not always.

Skins are an opportunity to try out a different theme for a champion. Sometimes it's lore-based, but many times it's not.

Dark star is really just black hole and Thresh pulls people in which non of those champs do.

Because none of the star related champs would have fitted the skin theme that much,since the "cosmic horror"-thing wouldn't fit any of them(except for maybe Sol,but he was released fairly recently,so its unlikely that he gets a skin so soon).

Besides we rarely get only one skin per pbe-cycle so there is still a chance that there are more "star"-related skins.

Please be Xerath, please be Xerath.
