Are the HEXTECH and steel legion skin lines going to be continued at any time soon ?

I mean like hextech Galio, Hextech anivia, hextech sion...etc NOT the hextech crafting skins...far from it ! I like the concept of hextech skins and steel legion too but for years now, we haven't seen any "excluding annie last year" which is hard for many people to get. Is there ANY CHANCE for these two skin lines to be revived again ?? or are they being replaced with futuristic project and program skins ??? These are complete different themed and concepts, There are MANY champions who can candidate for hextech for example, Yorick, Heimer...etc as well as many for steel legion. Imagine Yorick with robotic ghouls....etc may potentials for this skin line in my opinion. and those champs have not seen any skins for years !!! I hope to see those lines continued soon.

There's been more recent Hextech skins than there's been Steel Legion but I would love to see some more Steel Legion skins. Mainly, because it's a Demacian theme (of course I am only assuming based on the only two champions in that theme) it would make the most sense to have Demacian champions.

Poppy could fit there really well (it's been ages since she's had a "warrior" skin) having a hammer with a generator in the head that charges up and sends sparks flying when she's winding up her ult. Her buckler could have electrical blades that pop out when she throws it and an electric force field when she picks it up. She could take the appearance of a lightning bolt when using E and her W could make an electric field that stops dashes. It would be glorious!

Jarvan IV would fit the theme pretty well too. His lance can charge up electricity when his passive's up and his W would look like an electric burst followed by a shield. His standards can look like lightning rods and his ultimate can pop up with a lightning strike when he hits the ground.

Galio could be an enormous Steel Legion robot. Think about it.

Of course, unlike the previous skins, they can't murder frame rates with overdoses of special effects.

I'm assuming they wont keep the skin line isolated to Demacian champions, they wil probably branch out to other champs like how the Blood Moon line was originally Ionian but was then opened to other champs as well.

I did make mention that I'm not sure if it would remain Demacian or not. It's probable that it won't considering there already exists a Demacian skin line (commando).

I'd buy skins like that !!! I'm Not into blood moon line or the futuristic ones, like project, mecha, program... looks cheesy in my opinion. Most now a days skins are fancy colors but don't deliver a really good concept. Steel legion and Hextech looks more "authentic" and real to me some how ! more Tough for some reason.

Your opinion is your opinion, but curious as to how you can say most of the skins now don't have a "really good" concept. Project skins are the only skins with official lore, so not sure how that would full under not having a good concept.

If anything I think the majority of skins have been getting better concepts. Steel Legion is nice, but pretty dull when compared to Star Guardian, Project, even the 750 Dungeon & Dragon style skins.

What about the Steel Legion concept makes it "really good" to you?

Not flaming, just asking.
