New Update Schedule Reflect Skin Cycle?

Winterkill··2 votes·869 views

It honestly feels like we are hardly getting any skins now, because of the new update schedule. Before we would get 2 to 3 skins every two weeks. Now it feels like we hardly get any skins because new champions are getting all of the skins, reworked champions are getting all of the skins, and the same champions every year are getting all of the skins. In 2018 we started off strong in the beginning with skins for Gragas and many others. Now it feels like all of the new champions that are more popular are getting skins and the same champions every year are getting one.

This thread is actually not about forgotten champions not getting skins however. This thread is about why it feels like we are getting significantly less skins this year and if the new update schedule is because of this?

(I mean I am still waiting for an amazing skin for Karma since she and many others are due for one. I am still waiting for my favorite skin line, Blood Moon, to be released. Yet here Swain gets a skin. Yet here Rakhan and Xayah get a skin.)

Are you an imbecile? Read what I wrote. I said League started off strong with a cool Gragas skin. I am not talking about the last time I played him. Reading is fundamental if you are going to sit here and reply to a thread about skins. Moron.

So you think they are replacing chromas with more skins? :O

Well, I said we've gotten 3 fewer skins and 1 less chroma. So it has gone down but only slightly. Plus we don't know for sure yet if anything else is coming in 8.5 until the PBE starts up tomorrow.

And now PBE changes added, so we've gotten more Chromas this year.

I wonder if the time spent on the Illaoi skin made the number go down? Who knows. Still hoping we get Blood Moon skins this year but I have a feeling we are not.

Another "Oh Rakan and Xayah got a skin" pray tell what other champions fit the Valentine theme more then Xayah and Rakan? Make sense before you decide to use random baseless facts to justify why champs with 1% playrate dont get a skin

The thing is they have been using excuses to not give reworked champions or new champions skins, but all of a sudden Swain, Xayah and Rakhan seem to be exceptions. They have also said a specific champions would be great for a skin line but they don't rush to make it but they go out of their ways for Xayah and Rakhan. I am also fairly certain that Kayne is going to be getting a Blood Moon skin. The skin team are being hypocrites now.
