It seems like riot only works on what they love and what their artists want to do.. there is no "standard legendary" and it makes problems.

Anything else gets pushed fast before anything inconvient "christmas"
And when they release things it's "too late" and any additional work is set on the shelf.

They already are trying to implement features that another BETA of a game has with its artistic style figured out.

I also don't really care much for sibling syndrome on this. I don't want to hold back making cool stuff because everything we had done previously wasn't the same.

As morello said he's already messed around on internal servers with the skin, but for some that may sound like it's completed and ready to ship, even though being able to use it on internal servers doesn't mean it's been through bug testing or anything like that.

Would it at all be possible to have a chart or graph of some kind that just displays each step of the dev process and how long (on average, not in specific situations like this) a project will be in that step? So in the case of skins it would be something like this (just as an example, I have no idea what the names of the steps actually are):

Skins - Concept art (2-3 weeks) --------------- 3d modeling (1 week) ---------------- Texture implementation (1 week) ------------- Modeling Animation (3-4 weeks) --------------------- Voice Overs (2-3 days) -------------- Advertisement creation [Ex. Trailers] (1 week)

Then for parallel processes like the coding and whatnot you could have a separate chart consisting of the technical steps.

Finally, with something like this when the forums are abuzz and the community just wants to have an idea of where a project sits you can just refer to the chart/graph and we'll have an idea of whether it's even remotely close to completion or if it's the day before the release trailer. As time goes on we would be able to judge for ourselves how long these projects are at a step, and it could create massive hype every time it moves up a step towards completion.

I would love to hear what you guys think of the idea, even if it's just a "sorry that's not feasible in any way" or "We'll look into it" type of response
