Championship Riven Questions

OldTrooper·Sep 23, 2016·4 votes·2,387 views

Since you guys are going to release Championship Riven, i have a few questions:

For how long is this skin are going to be available in the store?
What status of the skin is going to be like after you remove her from the store?
Will players be able to get her by using hextech crafting and mystery gifting systems?

I am completely fine that this skin will be unlocked for new players. However, I wouldn't like to see her available by a random click for $5 like other championship skins. This skin wasn't meant to be just for the revenue. I hope you remember this.

thanks, OT

Riven will be available through November 6th 23:59 PST and then will behave like all other Championship skins (coming back for future Worlds, available through Hextech and Mystery Gifting).

I'm pretty sure all current championship skins aren't available in hextech boxes and like all other championship skins will only be available for a limited time

They are all out there. I saw a video on Youtube where one guy got championship Thresh and Kalista from hextech chests. Also, my buddy got Championship Shyvana from mysterygifting.

It's probably going to be on the store just as long as Championship Zed (as well as I assume the others will be re-released as well) which should be as long as worlds tournament is, if not maybe a little bit longer than that.

The status will be classified as a legacy skin and as such will be available in mystery gifting/hextech, as well as re-released the following years to come during the worlds tournament.

They could put her on sale for 2 days as they did 4 years ago. People will smash the purchase button anyway.

I was hoping that Riven will remain its limited skin rarity due to the history surrounded it. Money gained from championship Riven went towards development of the game. Now any level 20 smurf can get it by playing with hextech/mystery chest things.

Will sales of all the championship skins go towards the prize pool, or just the newest one?

They might put on sale team icons for this reason, but I don't think championship skins have anything to do with this.

Championship skin & ward - From now, 25% of revenue from each year’s Championship skin and Championship Ward will be added to the Worlds prize pool. That means every purchase of Championship Zed will directly increase the prize pool for Worlds 2016. For context, had this been applied last year, it would have more than doubled the prize pool.

How come nobody asks if it's going to be available for individual purchase or only purchasable IN a bundle? I'm DYING to know!

Championship skins are available separately and as a bundle. Last year there was a bundle which included all championship, fnatic, skt, tpa, ssw skins; champions and icons. Everything was also available in store as a single item, but without a discount.
