League of Legends players have noticed a concerning trend in the game's seasonal skin releases, particularly regarding Valentine's Day themed cosmetics. The last Valentine-themed skins were released in 2023, featuring Heartthrob Caitlyn, Heartache Vi, and Amumu, with no new releases in 2024 or 2025.

The game features several love-themed skin lines including Heartseeker, Sweetheart, Heartpiercer, Withered Rose, and Crystal Rose. Players argue there are still many untapped opportunities for romantic skins, especially for established couples in the game's lore:

• Vi and Caitlyn
• Rakan and Xayah
• Lucian and Senna (only Lucian has a Heartseeker skin)
• Diana and Leona (confirmed couple in Legends of Runeterra)
• Potential couples like Jinx and Ekko from Arcane

Other champions like Kayn could represent both Heartseeker and Heartbreaker themes, while champions like Irelia or Vex could receive unique Valentine's interpretations.

This trend extends beyond Valentine's Day, as Halloween and Winter skins haven't been released since 2022. Riot Games addressed this partially in a 2025 blog post, suggesting a move toward more generalized versions of seasonal skins to increase year-round sales.

Notably, Lunar New Year skins continue to release regularly with increasing numbers each year, likely due to Riot's large Chinese player base. This disparity has led to community discussion about the company's priorities in skin development.

The situation reflects broader community concerns about Riot's recent content decisions, including issues with Hextech chests and skin quality. Players are awaiting Riot's response to these growing concerns about seasonal content gaps.
