Really? Pool party Ahri?

Riot, I get that Ahri skins make money, but frankly this is just too easy. You could sell it as a 750RP skin with her in a bikini and get a profit out of it (probably) because it's Ahri in a bikini.

I know it's annoying to see people complain that Ahri has too many skins, but frankly? They're kinda right. While no champion can have too many skins, she gets them too frequently compared to everyone else.

And honestly? This annoys me when it puts her in skin lines that other champions might be more interesting in. Like Taliyah in pool party for example.

I get it, Ahri has a big playerbase and lots of fans with disposable income (I mean, Ahri probably had the most fan art out of all league champions. Some of it probably doesn't even relate to her being Ahri, but a girl with fox tails and ears) but can we maybe get a break from Ahri skins for like, two years?

This was exposed in a leak on Reddit. While leaks are not always true, recent ones have been very accurate and I want to get my thoughts out of the way.

Sure why not? It is a highly requested skin for years now. I don't understand how releasing it is hurting anything what so ever.

How about a compromise - every Champion gets an Ahri skin? Red dress, obviously fake tails, etc. It'd look great on Darius.

I mean, it could easily be a tasteful PP skin, and not just a two piece bikini.

Like so.

Either way, I won't say no to more Ahri skins, but I don't see why people complain either. It's not like she's taking a skin from someone else. All that said PP is a bit disappointing, as I'd much prefer a Harrowing skin like Vampire Ahri, or a more elegant skin like Sakura Ahri.

This is a skin we've been asking for since the pool party event was first announced, which was a very long time ago.

I would normally agree but this time I wont. Pool Party Ahri was teased 4 years ago when those skins first started coming out and its still to be release, its a highly wanted skin and should be released. What I dont understand however is why the fuck they released Arcade Ahri, nobody specifically asked for it, its nothing to write home about and the theme doesnt really fit her that much.

I thought it would be cool. Not cause ahri in swimsuit but because water effects on her ablities, her orb could be a beachball or vollyball. What sucks about her other skins is they dont change the champ all that much, (arcade and popstar aside) it would be nice to see new particles on ahri. And also if riot wants to make money, let them!!! Its a free game afterall, and you have no obligation to buy every ahri skin that comes out :D

Wanna know what disgusts me the most about that list? The complete and utter lack of a Cassiopeia skin. Seems like they're completely unable to do ANYTHING with her.

Also why on earth should Viktor get a skin before Cass while he's still over half a year BEHIND her on the waiting list?

easy money ahri is one of the icons of the game ahri recently got attention thanks to Vastaya Lore updates and as you said yourself, this is to easy. I mean think about it, instead of trying to find a way change all of Taliyah's spells and passive to tie in with he Earthbending power they can spend that time putting Ahri in a bikini and bop people with beachballs and let other champions he haven't had a skin for longer than Tali has been around get some skins.

and lastly, give it time and Taliyah might still get a pool party skin next year or the year after that. In short, there is no real reason to NOT give Ahri a Pool Party skin that isn't based on opinion or taste.

Other champions getting skins doesn't mean other champions won't... Even if a champ has a lot of skins they should have equal chance just as any other champion. What should be important should be the theme and quality of the skins not the number.

So Ahri has too many skins? when was her last one before arcade? Also Yi obviously gets them more frequently because he has THE MOST skins out of any champ in the entire game.
