Also what's up with Rioters going out of their way to emphasize how much Taliyah shouldn't get a skin

I mean come on you gave Ivern a skin, you gave Ziggs skins three years in a row with chromas *and* merch and he's pretty much an ARAM exclusive champ, I feel our circlejerk is warranted

"Originally" is a bit misleading, it was just part of the exploration. They do some crazy stuff in exploration, like lvl 16 Kayle gaining 'True Flight' (Kayn's E) permamently!

I think this argument is bunk when you look at the playrates of other champions who receive a lot of skins (according to champion.gg)

Lux- 2.18%

Ahri- 3.11%

Akali- 4.08%

Qiyana- 3.88% (Hasn't received a lot of skins yet but obviously will considering how she already has a post release skin)

All these champs get loads of skin attention but don't have playrates that are significantly higher than Ornn. Just imagine how unpopular they'd be if they never got any skins...like Ornn.

Gonna give my two cents, since, well, look at my flair.

It's known that players who main these low-pickrate champions are what you could call "true" enthusiasts; it doesn't matter if the champion is garbage or not, they keep playing because they genuinely like the champion.

In fact, that's why, at least prior to his mini-rework, Aurelion Sol had one of the highest winrates in midlane, despite his pickrate being one of the lowest. The only people who played him were people who played him frequently, because they genuinely liked the champion. Aurelion was stuck with his release skin for quite a while, until Riot relented and gave him Mecha, which is incredibly underwhelming; I don't know for certain the "buyrate" for the skin, but if it's low, it's completely understandable. But I can assure you, if he got a good skin, it would sell.

Compare with Kai'sa, for example, who has one the highest pickrates and winrates of all adcs ever since her rel...

Pretty sure Taliyah had an amazing play rate before it was nerfed into oblivion.

I mean obviously you're right otherwise riot would have released a skin for them by now. With that said, I do have a few counter points.

• pick rate can change, all it takes is a sizeable buff to any of these Champs and they could easily shoot up to 8-10% pick rate. Even if a champ is not popular now that doesn't mean it will never be popular.

• When people buy champion, they expect it to be supported. I feel like it's a bad look to release a champ and then never release another skin for that champ.

Dude wait untill Riot decides to remove the gamemode because not enough people play, then you will actually understand our pain.

They talk about failed reworks but don't bring up Swain? The worse rework in the game?

I hope they recognize taliyah here. Poor crown picking taliyah for his skin and then having his champ changed into a jungler.

Why is it that every single one of her abilities has 2000 different mechanics?

Everyone pointing out how broken her E is, and i'm just baffled at how insane her Q is.

Like, lucian got nerfed a dozen times because his Q made his poke in lane too strong. Senna's Q is also point and click, but has:

1-Way longer range

2-Way wider (EDIT:not wider!)

3-Auto attack reset (EDIT:not a reset!)

4-Procs her passive

5-cooldown lowered by basic attacks

6-HEALS

7-Can be used on wards and towers

8-procs press the attack

I probably missed something too lol. I bet it's going to be fun laning against her with her constant Q spam 8)

rengar/kha event is out of the competitive games, I would assume that senna-thresh will be taken out too, however, it will be in soloQ ranked obviously

Does she comes with aspirin? After all the headaches Akali shroud cause you guys go and come up with this

How do channeling abilities like Fiddle W and R work alongside it? If the R is cast does Fiddle appear straight away or is he invisible with the ult?

Also, what happens if you have Senna with her cloud on top of a chanelling Ryze ulti? Does everyone go invisible after the realm warp or is it instantly gone?
