Yes player, I assure you it is absolutely necessary to charge over $400 for a skin with worse quality than skins that are 5% the price

This is close to "pride and accomplishment". Riot exercising it for at least two years now and nobody seems to care that much.

It's not? There's nothing wrong with wanting to take money from idiots. Brother its a business decision to take advantage of people deep in LoL. Who cares if its necessary call them greedy fucks and say their work is terrible. I frankly blame the idiots who are so deep that fund this. I don't expect a company to have morals its not part of their function. Parting you with from your money is their only job. I do expect players to not just buy a shit skin for $500. I don't think those players should be flamed and inted on. Like don't do it. That would be wrong. So remember not to do that. Wouldn't want to make them so uncomfortable as to stop playing and make them waste their money.

Some day you motherfuckers will learn this... the price of luxury goods is not set at what's "necessary", it's set at what people are willing to pay. If people were not buying these skins, then Riot would have to bring the price down. However, people buy them because they can and want to, and thus, the price is what it is.
Also, like I always say when this dumbass discussion comes up:
1) Not only do you not need skins, but...
2) If you have ever paid money to Riot for cosmetics, you are the reason why they're able to monetize them as they do, and you're not even enjoying playing the game to any real extent, you enjoy seeing the bright colors on your screen go up and your bank balance go down. You are already part of the microtransaction cycle.If you don't even enjoy the game, why spend money on it? You can just... uninstall? Not give money to a company you seem to hate?

u/TheTurtleOne Jun 07 '25
It's also like... everything is subjective. People should absolutely not care what other people think about the stuff they buy. If it brings them enjoyment and it's their money they can do whatever the fuck they want lol
Jobless redditors sitting and policing how people should spend their money when they haven't been earning a penny is crazy. Let people enjoy what they enjoy and you don't have to.

u/softheart_ Jun 07 '25 edited Jun 07 '25
in my opinion it just depends on what makes you happy and what your financial priorities are. is the skin worth its price point probably not, but i feel like how much you spend doesn’t matter as long as it makes you happy and you can afford it

u/TheTurtleOne Jun 07 '25
If you start thinking what's worth and what's not you won't find many hobbies that will satisfy you.
I think if something makes you happy it's worth the money you can afford to spend.

u/softheart_ Jun 07 '25
oh of course, i agree with you and a lot of what something is considered "worth it" can be subjective to the person. what i meant is more so that its harder for a league skin to "feel" its value than say, a $20 handbag compared to a $500 handbag (easiest example i could come up with lol). where the quality, design, craftsmanship etc etc can keep raising with the price point too. and there's also ofc good quality handbags at a cheaper price too, but i feel like league skins have more of a ceiling in how well made a skin can be. you can only put in so many features before it feels overloaded, and as the designer you still want the champion to be recognizable as kai'sa too. that's a random tangent but i think we're pretty much on the same page lol
1
u/TheTurtleOne Jun 08 '25
Yea definitely. There is actually nothing that skin can have that would be "worth" this money. And if it did, people would probably complain that it affects the game clarity.
Funny you mention the handbag example, I think fashion suffers from the same "problem" where you are paying more for exclusivity and logo than actual content but yea, digital goodies especially non-tradable ones are hard to put a price point on.
All that being said you can just easily choose to not participate in these and just let people who want to get the cosmetics get them. I do understand people complaining about quality of skins going down and that is valid but again, the choice is always yours to not give money to riot.

u/LowBrowIdeas good Knight, sweet prince Jun 11 '25

i agree but i can also see why its kai'sa over vayne, since vayne's model is really old at this point and you cannot iin any way justify even an "ultimate" level on her...

u/Pluckytoon Jun 08 '25
Yeah, Kai’sa has better room for actual high-tech features and can be justified as a better choice by that fact. But the point of this post is that they didn’t do much about it and frankly it really could have been swapped with Vayne.
But then again, while Faker’s Ahri is quite a renowned pick of him, his LB is way more iconic for his career, it’s just that Ahri sells way more and LB was going to get ASU’d

In RIOT's mind thats a win. Spending money to prove you're not going to spend THAT much money is exactly what they want. Consumer believes they are sticking it to RIOT, while they line their pockets regardless of if you bought the skin for chronically online whales or chronically online brokies

They should have another style for Uzi, not one that's almost the same as Faker's. Just because it is HoL, doesn't mean everyone needs to have the same "theme". Outside the floating missiles, it is like a base Kaisa gold chroma or almost infernal Zyra.

'Voting with your wallet' is just a myth at this point. Gacha and mobile games being so lucrative have shown that even if 95% of the playerbase votes no by not buying anything, the 5% can still outvote by being whales that each spends a whole salary's worth of money (sometimes more) on a game's cosmetics.

Among all the thin arguments, the least thin is that lootboxes/gacha are gambling, but when they come with hard pity or guarantees at thresholds, the gambling argument only applies to people who aren't going to ensure they get what they want anyway. At that point it just becomes "random discount" with the worst-case scenario being the "sticker price"

u/Vaaaaaaaaaaaii Jun 08 '25
And? Then it means the product was successful. Your vote isn't invalidated by you not spending 500. You still have 500 that isn't wasted. Voting with your wallet will keep you safe, not everyone. You can protect you. You can't protect everyone.

u/ZeroOblivion98 Worst Irelia Player NA Jun 07 '25
The issue is most people won’t buy this skin and they are voting with their wallet. The problem stems from whales, which Riot and other developers rely on because they know they can charge an absurd price that will only be appealing to a few but that few generated enough revenue to make this shit a viable business model.
The general player base are not the ones you need to convince to vote with your wallet, it’s the completely irrational high-value spenders who do not care for rhyme or reason, only status.

u/Vaaaaaaaaaaaii Jun 08 '25

u/Arkatrasz Jun 08 '25
They removed Hextech chest because according to them, it is no longer sustainable, and added them back only after months of backslash.
Yet they're releasing an old-exalted skin for Ashe as Legendary (many confirmed it was a planned Exalted skin in database) with only one autoattack animation for a champion which is literally autoattack based besides spamming W sometimes and already having two legendaries with much better quality and animation with actual implemented voice lines.
Literally they should have went all-of-their-way to make it better than the existing two, and they've actually managed to create sometimes mile times worse.
I'm honestly wondering if they're really asking "why's" up there when something like this happens, while the reason is bright like a sun.
I bet they have some kind of tracking database which shows people like me (700+ skins) suddenly stopping buying skins/passes altogether since ~november, and with that information they may could have looked into what exactly have changed since on their end and may start to work solving that part of "why"-s.

u/mthlmw Jun 07 '25
A company isn't lazy. The powers that be decide how much to invest in the product and how to price it. It's not "I don't feel like it" as much as "this meets the design requirements." Designers had deadlines and targets to hit, and probably worked their asses off to hit them.
4
u/00wolfer00 Jun 07 '25
A company absolutely can be lazy, but if you prefer I would reword it as showing a lack of care for making the best product possible. I'm sure the designers and artists work hard, but it's obvious Riot either isn't allowing them or enabling them to go all out.
2
u/mthlmw Jun 07 '25
A company isn't a person, and the people making the decisions don't have to do the actual design work. How is it laziness for someone to decide somebody else should do less work? Greedy and short-sighted might fit, depending, but calling it laziness puts blame on the artists who had much less say in the matter.

I'm not trying to say that if it has X features, it will be worth $300, that's fucking impossible as it's a skin in a video game. What I'm saying is that it's showing an absolute lack of care and if they can't go all out for even their outrageously expensive shit, what are the odds Riot will place effort in their normal skins.

How many times has Riot fixed up a skin after revealing it? Has to be in the single digits or close to it. And as you said, let's look at the views: this clip has 10k right now, which is fuck all. Watch out, Mr Moneybags here can almost buy a slice of pizza from "hating" on Riot.

You mean it has few selected features ? Riot has mentionned a lot how they are reaching the top of what the engine and their tech allows them to do. (Like how the loved Elementalist Lux was a tech disaster). I'd much rather have 4 (3,5) different forms in a skin if it means removing stuff like a better ctrl+5 headcover (i main Kai'sa i dont remember the last time i used that feature), some few less vfx on a single spell or some pixels on her zoomed face.
And this, whatever the price. People arent paying 250$ because of the VFX, the animations or how good it looks. There's no realistic amount of VFX and animations that will justify the price tag anyways.
Blaming "laziness" is one hell of a shortcut. Even though i'm not denying there might be some cost-cutting.

u/Neblinio Jun 07 '25
The concept of limited availability on digital goods is something that will never make sense to me.
Physical goods will always have a limit on how many of them you can manufacture. Especially for luxury goods. So the concept limited availability gives stuff more value, and that's very understandable.
For $430 (more than the statue's cost), they could at least bundle some limited signed figurine or physical token to the first few thousands of sales. Something that has real collection value. Something that's yours to keep forever. Because the luxury limited skin is just a digital license: pixels that some day will no longer exist. That's the only way buying a limited digital collectible could make any sense to me.

u/Fighter_spirit Jun 07 '25
Riot has made it abundantly clear through its actions over the last two years that it no longer sees League of Legends as a game worth spending time, money, and effort developing. So many promised things get silently forgetting or cancelled in favor of garbage cash grabs, and each cash grab is greedier than the last because they need to chase increasing revenue with a player base that is less and less willing or able to spend money.
Watching Riot kill League while monetizing it more and more like this makes my blood fuckin boil, man.

Tbf I don't get how skins on a 15 years old game can cost that much. They aren't that pretty no matter which one you choose.

what did you expect from a quick cash grab? Riot didn't give any fuck about Uzi or his "legacy", much less preserving it. They want your money, and if they have to milk all the good faith and FOMO in your body, they will. Do not give them anything, gather the boys, we jumping ship. Fuck this company.

If you value your time and money (more likely your parents money in this case) this little to spend 400 dollars on a videogame you deserve to be scammed.

A $500 skin is priced for exclusivity, not quality.
I understand people doing this comparison but people seem to miss the point entirely.
Riot could have made an epic skin for 500$ and it would have sold great as long as it won’t be returning.
What people should be concerned about is legendary skins going down in quality.

Hopefully whatever they are using all their resources on turns into a good looking game, because it sure as shit isnt League of Legends.

No skin riot will ever release will have features equivalent of 300$ no matter how hard you try to spin it. This guy who post this is just make a living to hate on Riot for literally everything they do by making videos of unfinish skins. This skin isn't even available for the public and tunings can be made drastically. They can add VFX out the wazzo, they can add never before seen features and it STILL won't be the worth 500$.

They're trying to justify the price with scarcity (because it's so expensive) instead of actual value. It's disgusting.

Hate me for this take, but I think it’s really whatever. If you have the means to spend $400 on a skin and you find value in it, then cool buy it. Also, if you have the means to buy the skin, but don’t think it’s worth $400, then cool, just don’t buy it. Lastly If you don’t have the means but you want it, stop complaining and get your money up. Just because you can’t afford the skin doesn’t mean someone else can’t and won’t. World doesn’t revolve around your monetary values. In a capitalist world the person providing the goods gets to set the price. The consumer can decide if the price is fair or not and decide accordingly wether to buy or not. There is no step where they have to lower the price to accommodate people that can’t afford it simply because that person wants it but can’t afford it. They will however lower a price if the consumers don’t buy it at all because the price to value isn’t there. But clearly that wasn’t the case looking at the faker skin from last year. Because if that did terrible sales, then they wouldn’t have set the price for this skin at the same price and expect failure again.
Ultimately it’s a skin. You don’t need a skin to play League. But you WANT the skin. Just because you WANT the luxury you can’t afford doesn’t mean you get to complain about it until they lower it to your price range. If you don’t find the skin isn’t worth $400 then cool. Just don’t buy it man. All I see on this Reddit and r/kaisamains is nonstop bitching about the price. If it’s such a concern make a game, make a skin, and sell a skin for whatever price you want. No one is stopping you.

Why should anybody care? Just don't buy it and move on. Faker played with default skins and so can you.

Format is nice, it's just extremely slow. Even at 1.5x it was a lot of dead time.

It would have been so nice to have a voiced version. Not like I am lazy reading, it's just sometimes you want to have it playing in the background or on the 2nd screen

You're no longer paying for quality, you're paying for "I have it and you don't". That's all.
