So in light of Traditional Sejuani getting re-released as somebody who currently owns the skin I was disappointed that there is no recognition for people who owned the skin prior. For example when Championship riven was re-released every person who had already owned that skin got borders on the splash art to show they have the original version It would be nice if traditional Sejuani also got that treatment
Sukishoo6 votesIt was never a limited edition, it's always been Legacy. So no, there is nothing special they were going to add.. Its not like Championship Riven, or former Halloween/Sports skins.

Both were available for a limited time, and both are going to return in the future.
What is the difference here?
Mcprowlington2 votesOne has always been available via lootcrafting and random skins, the other was not.
But yeah it felt like a kick in the balls seeing her traditional skin being offered. But this has happened with every other traditional skin already.
Sacrisis1 votesyou realize that both sejuani and the re-release of champ riven happend before the crafting system was even mentioned
Sukishoo2 votesYes, but once the Crafting System was made you could gain any of the Traditional skins through that, just as well as Mystery Gifting. Champ Riven could only be gotten there as of 2016 though with her re-release and change of status.
Sukishoo3 votesLimited Edition skins were created as a "once in a lifetime thing" originally but Riot deiced to change that and re-release them since their player base grown massively and those skins were rarely seen. They gave those special features such as Borders and refunded the RP amount, originally, http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/store/sales/plan-vintage-limited-edition-skins but wasn't received quite as well as they hoped. So when Championship Riven got her turn and they gave her a border, in-game crown and special ult effects. Which people seemed to enjoy a bit more.
Skins like Traditional Karma, Trundle and Sejuani however were always listed as LEGACY. Legacy being that they are available for a short time, and set to return again (usually yearly). https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201752944-Guide-to-Legacy-and-Limited-Skins#h1q2 They are also always available through mystery gifting and hextect crafting, where as Limited Skins would not have been available in those until they were moved to the Legacy category. The Traditional skins though were made as a kind of thank you thing for players of the original look and feel of the champions, and thus they got them for free if they owned them before relaunch. However at that time they could also be purchased for 975 if you didn't already own the champion. So this is just a repeat of that instance, where they are once again available instore for those who don't own the skins but do have the champion. As in the end, they were Legacy, not Limited.
Things such as Urf The Manetee Warwick, Black Alistar, Silver Kayle, Young Ryze, ect are all still Limited Edition skins and cannot be gotten in any fashion unless you have a time machine to go back to the time they were first released. So there are many differences between Limited and Legacy.
Sacrisis1 votesso your telling me that something completely harmless that would just give veteran players a little nod saying " hey you've had this skin from way back in the day here's something to show that" is just completely unwarranted and shouldn't be in the game at all?
Sukishoo1 votesWell it's again not really warranted. I personally own Sejuani and Karma from their original release and received those skins for Free however it doesn't bother me that they are available again for others. I always knew they would be back and were never stated to NOT RETURN. If they were part of the Limited line of things not to return then they would have indeed gained some kind of border and/or other bonuses.
Sacrisis1 votesi never once said i was upset they are available im not even really upset i just personally thing veteran recognition is something thats good to do
Shodance3 votesIt's nice that they are letting new players pick up Traditional Sej, but the fact that people who have stuck with her for YEARS aren't getting anything special really sucks.
Would be a nice gesture if Riot was to add a border or an icon, or SOMETHING for old players.
(For example, her old shield?)
