Time drags on endlessly; the developers are biased, and these heroes haven't had a new release in over two years: Hero Remake.

With the skin marketing strategy changed and switched to a quarterly schedule, players who were used to the daily skin rain seemed to have lost their enthusiasm. There was nothing new to look forward to, and they spent their days researching strategies for ranking up, which character was the best at the beginning of the season, how the five lanes were doing, and the difference in combat power between peak matches and full-team matches. Only "Honor of Kings World" brought a little freshness. Clicking on the store section was indeed quite boring. The last product they had was still Ake's Rakshasa.

Skin releases are slow, so niche skins have no chance of getting high-tier status.

With the new season starting and the 5v5 Black Festival fast approaching, a month has passed, and the developers are still taking their time, leisurely releasing no new skins. This is inevitably making players anxious. Skin news is tight, and multiple collaboration IPs have already been officially announced, but Tencent Games remains unmoved. Meanwhile, there are rumors of an Attack on Titan collaboration on the international server. Everyone knows that the treatment in the other server is different. But if the Chinese server continues like this, aren't they afraid of driving players away?

Undeniably, Honor of Kings has no shortage of consumers. Every time a new skin is released, a large number of people are waiting to buy it. The number of VIPs may even reach hundreds of millions. Selecting popular heroes to form a series immediately leads to the top sales. From a business perspective, this approach is correct. However, at this rate of promotion, wouldn't it be unfair to heroes who haven't had new outfits for a long time? These are unpopular heroes with loyal fans. Looking back at their previous works, it's been years. On the contrary, heroes who have never been requested to have more than ten skins and are frequently released, is really unfair.

In our memory, the skin was only released a month ago. There are over a hundred heroes in the game, and many of them have been waiting for several years without getting a new skin. It's really unpleasant to be relegated to the sidelines. That might sound like an exaggeration, but it wasn't until netizens did math to calculate the timeline that we realized how little attention the game had received.

Agudo: More than 909 days

Agudo, a pet-type marksman, has seen her pick rate increase since being revamped into a marksman for the development lane, which is a good sign. With a pet accompanying her in battle, her cute and adorable appearance should attract more viewers than Luban No. 7's short legs. This may be related to her character design. Her previous skin was "River Spirit," an 8th-anniversary themed skin, but it was an epic-level skin. She is one of only two high-level skins, and the other one is "Wanqu," which was sold in November 2022. Does that mean she doesn't deserve a new skin?
