While Riot Games has promised to release new costumes for Bard, Pantheon and Taliyah, Skarner hasn’t heard this information for more than half a decade.
Skarner has no new skin for 5 years
Accordingly, the latest Skarner costume is the Guardian of the Sands Skarner has been released since April 26, 2015. Sadly, it was only the fourth Skarner costume even though this is one of the oldest champions League of Legends.
Therefore, Skarner is the champion with the longest time not getting a new outfit.
The champions who haven’t owned the outfit for the past 1,000 days include Kayle, Ornn and Syndra.
Obviously, balancing the design of skins for a total of 148 champions on the Summoner’s Rift is a simple challenge for Riot.
However, since there are more than 900 skins and are targeting 120 new skins in 2020, the majority of champions in League of Legends have had the opportunity to shine.
The list of champions with no new skins for over 1,000 days contains many non-human names. This may be one of the basic reasons why they are not favourably designed skins. Because Riot can easily complete skins based on human or Yordle models.
That is the case with Bard, Shyvana, Kindred, Vel’koz and Skarner.
But there are also a few exceptions without a human form like Malphite or Alistar who have more than 10 skins.
In addition, another important criterion that motivated Riot to start making new outfits was also related to the power of the metagame and popularity.
For example, Ezreal, a champion who has never been outdated and always meets every meta, has 13 skins of all kinds.
It seems that Riot is trying to please fans of champions who own fewer outfits when revealing plans to focus more on them in 2020 – such as Skarner, Rek’sai and Kindred.
“We expect this year’s focus to be on the lesser-known champions to bring satisfaction to those who love them because it’s been a long time since they saw new skin.” Jessica “Safelocked” Nam, Head of League of Legends Development Team, the information from Latest on League’s 2020 Plans.
To prove that, Riot is perfecting the Pulsefire Pantheon after more than 1,300 days from this champion’s last skin.
