Think some of the backlash from reworks in recent history could have been avoided

If riot didnt completly do away with tradional skins.

For those of you who don't know when champs got reworks or redesigns back in the day they got a tradional skin that maintained their previous appearance a tad, they stopped releasing these though and gave a really wishy washy reason as to why around the time 's rework was released.

I'd imagine it's because they were skins that they werent selling and didnt want to sink any resources into because of that but i digress. This kayle thing got me thinking how having traditonal skins could have really diverted a lot of the negative backlash away by giving players an appearance that resembled the previous incarnation of the champion and allowing for riot to change the base skin (i.e. the canon appearance of the champion) at the lesiure. They'd be able to experiment and long time players would have something that resembled the champ they enjoyed everyone wins.

Imagine if these champs recieved legacy based skins what they would have looked like and how much smoother their reveals would have went over if that were the case: (some of his skins changed pretty drastically as well),

With kayle they could have just made her skin tight body suite the base skin, even though i think the design is lazy and derivative, and gave players that own her a legacy skin where she was armored up like shes supposed to be. Her current appearance just looks so generic the skin tight body suit has been on so many female champs as of late either in skins or their reworks it's tired at this point, plus he hair is atrocious looks like dawn bringer or Not the kayle players remember.

But you know sex sells, and integrity has never been the name of the game at Riot Hq. GG
