I think people also need to realised that singers are also part of the development too.

Ask Riot: Skins and Music

I’m starting to see a lot of people be like “this champ should’ve had the true damage skin line”. Cool but who’s gonna represent them in the music video and in the song?

While I agree yasuo shouldn’t had been in it, the rest are pretty valid. All of them singers of course fucking killed it. Becky G as Qiyana was brilliant choice for Hispanic artists and Keke Palmer was an amazing choice for Senna, as well as Duckworth and Thutmose for Ekko and the time clone.

Going back to K/DA, Madison Beer portrayed Evelynn quite amazing as well and Miyeon for Ahri and Jaira Burns for Kai’Sa.

Even in Pentakill, Jørn Lande redid his roll for Karthus in the entire second Pentakill album.

And of course Akali which was the biggest controversy for it. This is pretty much Soyeon’s character now, but it fits so well, like with Jorn and Karthus.

While yes “this champ should’ve had a music skin line” you also need to figure who’s gonna represent them when it’s time on making the music. If Yas rapped, NF imo would’ve been a great artist to represent him.

So let’s stop naming champs without any effort shall we?

Like you said, they all can be justified... except Yasuo.

He didn't rap/sing, he is just there... And there are quite a bunch of champions they could have chosen over him to do that. Especially since he already got a new skin not too long ago with Battle Boss.

Yasuo probably just got shoved in to generate money, that's all there is to it.
