Ragnaros skins and Banners

hey can anyone explain why there are no new skins for ragnaros?
also- what about new banners? they kind of neglect those… imagine if they gave the option to create your own banner like in Diablo 3, thats pretty unique no?

basically Ragnaros has a bunch of effects as a part of his appearance so it requires far more resources to make than your average skin plus there’s the maintenance cost

It’s something the team would love to do, but the biggest hurdle for Ragnaros is the heavy load of FX work associated with him. The model recolor would be easy to handle but FX would not only have to touch a myriad of FX, they would also be on the hook for maintenance of those skins should any issues arise. At the end of the day we have to consider whether or not the resources spent for a single Raganaros skin/recolor is more meaningful to our players when the time could have been used for multiple new skins or recolors instead. It’s a balancing act, but one that we would eventually love to make the time for.

I’m pretty sure they’ve forgotten banners exist as a customization slot they can make items for.

She said the difference,people like to see their suggestes in the game too,not only Hots’s ideas.

Bounch or even ten thousand effects,it is not a big wall,People wanted to see Ragnaros new skins since old and the cost and work must being finished until now!!
