The possibility of a "Traditional Sion" skin?

Let's face certain facts:

Whenever Riot has remade a champion to the degree of Karma, Sejuani or Trundle (grrrr), it has always arrived with a "Traditional" skin. Something that reinforces the fans love for the original concept and character but keeps the new assets that Riot/ChampUp have been working hard on.

However, with the recent REBORN and Sion reveal, there's no hint of a traditional skin for this champion.

While some may accuse me of being greedy, I'm wondering if there are plans to have a green-skinned giant with the skull shoulder guards and that "Former Governor" accent.

I think they are trying to pass off hextech and lumberjack Sion as the traditional. Which i find pretty **** stupid. They need to make those skins look like the new Sion and make a real traditional.

The reason the Traditional Sion skin may not come out or is in the process of being worked on is because the bones on his model, which is a big NO-NO in China. So, we'll wait and see.

I think it's definitely got something to do with the China thing. That was also the reason the super cool Skeleton King in DOTA 2 got replaced with green blob Wraith King (Well, that and some Diablo copyrights...). But we saw similar things with the Karthus rework, and with Hades in SMITE. Most MOBAs with a big Eastern scene are doing this now. Which is a shame, because I love the goofiness of a big walking zombie-skeleton (although his new look is great), but when in Rome, I suppose.
