Riot, it's been 33 months since Cassiopeia received her last skin.

And yet you release another batch of skins on the PBE without even considering her. Ryze is the only one of those champions who's most deserving of a skin right now if we consider release-dates. Besides, the fact that you've been neglecting Cassiopeia for this long is simply appalling. Sure, the same could be said about champions like Yorick or Urgot but those have full relaunches planned, I wish the same could be said about Cass.

So what's stopping you from doing the morally right thing? Don't we already suffer enough from having to play an unloved champion, now you're even denying us the joy of buying skins for her? The way you're setting your priorities is anything but comprehensible at this point. I'd really love to hear your reasoning on this, just try to justify it.

Just wanted to pop in here - While I can't say if Cassiopeia has a skin in the works or not, I can say that we haven't forgotten about Cassiopeia by any means.

To counter your argument of Cassiopeia being one of the most deserving champions for a skin (her last skin was 2013) - Kennen hasn't received a skin since 2011. (He's eligible for a skin, by the way!) There are a good chunk of champions who need a new skin, and we're slowly but surely making our way through the list. For example, we've given skins to several champions this year who had waited 2+ years - Master Yi, Galio and Akali to name a few. In addition, she did just receive a set of chromas! (This doesn't knock them out for getting a new skin any time soon, just to be clear, as you've seen with Zac!)

As for justification, we don't want to slap a skin on a champion just because 'they need one', 'cause that's not fair to champion mains. We want a theme that works well with a champion - i.e. Star Guardian Lux. We also have a ton of skins in development, and it's possible there's something planned down the pipeline (again, I can't spoil anything here).

Maybe they made some concepts but didn't like them in the execution, so threw 'em out.

Or maybe there's a Cass skin in the works now.

Or maybe not.

Either way there's no malicious intent. If Riot was truly malicious they'd give you a shitty Cass skin and ask you to over pay for it, pushing on the fact she's been without a new skin for a while. There's fuck all to justify because some people who actually needed skins got skins this year, like Kassadin, Olaf, Brand, etc. If they were truly denying you something they'd actually come in and say "Yeah we had some awesome concepts, but we don't like you or Cassiopeia so we'll never be releasing them ever". Everyone'll get their skins just be bloody patient. Just ask Kassadin players. Or Rumble players. Or Skarner players. Or anyone who plays champions who've had over two years waiting on a new skin.

Oh Zyra Please Viktor Tell me more about Yorick Champions that need skins Sion based on when they last got one Kennen or if they actually need a new one Swain

(Am I doing it right?)

{quoted} Ryze is the only one of those champions who's most deserving of a skin right now.

Right after this part you lost credibility hahahaha.

No offense but it's a fact that ryze got a lot of skin so ryze isn't the 'only one of those champs who's most deserving of a skin'.

I like cassiopeia and i'll admit she need a good skin, but hey, give them time...Maybe there is a showdown snowdown skin for her in the making ;)

Meanwhile the skin on trist looks pretty amazing, azir NEEDED a new skin(he still only had his release skin) and let's be honest, that hecarim skin looks sick from what i saw.

So maybe braum,varus and gragas could've been swapped for cass, but if we think about it:

Braum was a major threat during world and one of the best support late in season 5.Kinda deserves the skin.

Gragas was one of the three top tier jungle (with elise and lee) before he was removed so deserves too.

So only based with facts, (except for heca and trist skins looking amazing but hey, you know it's true :P) the only champs that have 'no reason' to get a skin before cass are ryze and varus.You told us ryze deserves one.That leaves varus.

They had an idea for varus so they did a skin for him.If they had an idea for cass they would've done it for her.

As simple as that.

Dragonmaster Swain where?

Takito11/11/2015, 3:08:21 AM1 votes

I got you, i'm just trying (at the risk of getting load of downvotes hahaha) to explain rito situation.

They try to give us nice skins (which is exactly what they did here...Most of these skins are awesome), even if it's not always on champ we want.

Do you have an idea how many 'azir need a skin' subject have been created? I created one myself so i know hahaha.

So i'm not saying cass does not deserves a skin.

She certainly does, i'm personally waiting for a cass skin with particle changes and everything.But i understand that they can't create a skin for every champ a the same time and that cass might have one already planned for snowdown showdown, lunar revel or even 14th february.

Anyway, that's all i had to say, i understand your position, now try to understand rito position ;)

Can we show Kennen some love? One of my favorite character :/

Don't we already suffer enough from having to play an unloved champion, #FirstWorldProblems.

Did you really just use the word "suffer", are you really complaining about not spending money on a video game? Just saying. Maybe consider a little editing so you don't sound like a fucking moron.

There are a lot of champions that have been waiting for longer.

I agree it is dumb how Gragas and Varus are getting new ones though.
