As for LeBlanc, I'm afraid I don't know. I wasn't a Skins team resource at the time.

Edit: If you're asking about older skins, not champion base skins, then I'm afraid I don't really have an answer. Currently we have no older skins on our plate which we're refurbishing. We're occupied fully by champion reworks and new skins of all levels.
I hate to beat a dead horse here, but there are some legendary skins that really aren't and probably never were up to the quality standards for those (red baron corki, magnificent twisted fate). If you can't rework them because there's too much on your plate right now that's fine but its probably time that they get a price reduction instead. They're as good as 520 skins and they should cost the same as those other skins.

these new skins as well as dravens release skin(http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=PIa4RzZMmKE) make me wonder how the Legendary skins are going to be set apart? galio gets a few new animations( i like the glide as he moves) but that doesnt seem worth the double price when you compare it to the skins thate were released last patch and this one.

so is there gonna be something that really sets legendary skins apart?

@IronStylus have you guys thought about setting up a community contest to create skins? The top 5 or 10 or whatever could get incorporated into the game. Maybe sponsor some of those custom LoL skins?

This would increase community participation, decrease work for your designers (initially,) produce content, and potentially increase sales for the company? ...Not to mention BAS ASS SKINS? Though, I will say, the most recent batches of skins have been excellent.

It's something that we've discussed and will continue to. I'm not sure about what, if any, plans we have to do something like this, but I think it's a capital idea =)

IronStylus, this is just a theoretical question;

with the new theme for high-quality skins on release which therefore leads to a single bundle of an original skin + 1 skin...

... if a newly-released Champion has a Shyvana/Udyr-esque. modeling to them (transformations) will the skin they come with, appropriately, come with particle changes due to standard increase? Or will particle-changing etc. skins generally still be released at a later time from release?
