How about lowering the cost of Ward Skins?

True Garen··51 votes·14,239 views

Yellow trinket wards now last 1/3 shorter; we can carry 1/3 fewer CW. We're getting about 1/3 less use from our wards. Suggest the price of ward skins be lowered by 1/3 to reflect this. (Green smite been long removed from the game...)

At the moment, you can get them for BE... let it be a permanent feature.

"If you grab too much, then you get nothing."

Almost nothing in this entire game is transferable.

Let's start with an appropriate reduction in the cost of Ward Skins, and then see how much further we can get...

Made a topic about this a while back, IMO they should cost BE not RP, they aren't as fancy and new as they were back in season 3.

You can barley see them anyway. I can't remember a time where I even knew which ones I used. They are an afterthought...

I decided to use the K/DA one only because it's satisfying and occasionally elementalist when I'm playing elementalist lux, obviously

I understand what you mean. But a quick reminder you get some out of chest and rewards and i dont need 20 diffrent ward skins. I would like it a lot more if some emote's get a lower rp cost or just cost BE.

The point is, that they nerfed a game element that also was related to a paying concession.

If they nerfed "emotes" (they aren't really, you know) so that you couldn't use them as much as you use them now, then I would also expect that to be reflected in the price.

Or just make them blue essence like they should be. [sg-zephyr]

You CAN get them for BE right now. And the price with BE should ALSO be discounted.

Should be blue essence always.

Well, yeah, of course.

As it stands now, ALL cosmetics are only ever available for RP, or OE with shards, EXCEPT during BE Emporium. So, even if it was decided to make Ward Skins available for BE, they would still be available for RP as well, just like champions. (Like, if you wanted to gift a Ward Skin.) (Which actually does happen.) ('Cause i got one.)

The point was that ALL of these have a value, and that the value of all of these has been degraded by ward changes in the current patch, and therefore that value change should be reflected in the price, whether it's RP, OE, BE or old Russian Rubles.

They should also make gifting champions BE aswell forever. [zombie-nunu-bummed]

didnt spend any rp on ward skins and still have more than enough silly request, what use do they have anyway? imo its actually dumb to use them at all because if the enemy knows which one you use and later on you ward a brush they know who just warded which can be used against you in some scenarios i suppose

Yeah I never spent any money on mine either, mine were all from achievements or shards and the essence emporium.

Also, if you're quick enough, hovering on the ward's buff car you can see the source they're from, besides control wards. Then you'll know who's ward it belongs to.

They should also lower the ORANGE ESSENCE (or BE lottery) price of Ward skins. If Ward use is curtailed, then Ward Skins are worth less. (He actually said nothing about RP.)

They are cosmetic; they aren't supposed to be functional. I suppose that they might serve a similar use to beverage charms... to remind if the CW in that bush was placed by myself or a teammate... (since only one/player may be on the map).
