Can we talk about the weekly sales please?

They just announced September sales schedule and I'm extremely disappointed. All the champions and skins that have been scheduled have made an appearance on the sales previously.

As someone who buys stuff on sale and has been playing for nearly 2+ years there isn't anything on the schedule that interests me. I understand that there are players who haven't been playing for as long as I have and are still building their champ/skin collection but month after month of being 'ignored' in the sales is getting extremely frustrating.

The last time a skin that had never before been included in a 50% off sale was in April when they happened to include Ashen Lord ASol and High Noon Jhin, which was nice. But they skipped a good number of skins. Spiritfire Brand, Snowday Bard, GraveLord Azir, Radiant Wu Kong and probably more that I can't think of right now.

With how many 1350 RP skin they are releasing now can they at least start putting the 1350 RP skins that have been out for over a year on to the monthly sales? Even more so I could see people no longer wanting to purchase Arcade Ezreal or Spiritfire Brand full price anymore since they just released Arcade Brand and the upcoming patch will have SG Ezreal, it doesn't make sense to me.

Riot please. Both my friend and I no longer look forward to sales because there isn't anything worth buying in it for us. You keep this up and we won't be looking forward to the schedule announcement either.

I'd really love if they add atleast 2 new items to the 50% off sale schedule every month. Or put one 1350 RP skin for sale every week in their weekly sales so that both new and old skins can be purchased. So instead of four 1350 RP skin that have already gone on sale previously, we get two new 1350 RP skins on sale and two that have been included before.

Riot I'm pleading you to look into your sale schedule and start being more mindful of those who have been playing for a long time. Not everyone can buy stuff at full price and look forward to 50% off sale. Otherwise not only do I see myself not bothering to get new skins but also not bothering to buy RP.

I think you raise a valid point. I understand that Riot relies heavily on skins as their revenue source, but it does seem to take too long to get newer skins on the sales. I don't even pay attention to the sale schedule anymore, though I still check most of the weekly sales to see if I'll be surprised. The vast majority of the time, however, it's the same old: skins I have, or don't want because I don't play those champions much. 2 new items per month might be a bit much, because then fewer people would buy skins on release, if they're patient enough, having full confidence it will probably be on sale by the following year (though I know some people can't wait to get their hands on skins that are still on the PBE). But with so many great new skins coming out in the past couple of years, I think the sales are getting pretty stale.
