i'm sure everyone has seen the leaked skins (Janna, Kled, Ekko) and the new popstar Skins (Ahri, Evelynn, Akali, and Kai'Sa.) I like the new skins, but what about other champs. I know they don't release skins for underplayed champs (Kindred, not since 2016 ;-; Illaoi, who has maybe 2 skins released in 2015, other champions.) Who do you want to see with a new skin? Of course, being a kindred main, I'd love to see Kindred skins but she's so underplayed. Makes me sad!

The upcoming skins in 8.21 are really pretty and all, but I sure wish other champs would get recognize. Maybe it would help with their play-rates

They're on PBE. They're not "leaked" anymore. And the Halloween skins got officially revealed, K/DA is what got leaked.

Illaoi literally got Resistance earlier this year BECAUSE she needed a skin. Riot has done the same for a lot of champions over the course of the past year or so. Kindred needs a skin as well, but considering they have one already, they're behind the likes of Camille (who'll get a skin in the next couple patches), Ivern, and Ornn.

Also, Riot primarily makes skins for "popular" champions (those that are played more than others) considering that - if more people play this champion, you have a higher rate of people actually buying the skins that RIOT put their hard work in. This is not true for ALL cases, but most yes - they are a business. I'm not saying they're right for doing so, but it is understandable. But sometimes they'll make skins for less popular champs too :)
