Project fiora, zed, leona, and lucian "first strike" (week 1): 1350 RP Project fiora, zed, leona, and lucian (week 2 and onward): 975 RP

Whats the difference? A triangle and border in the loading screen.

Yes, their greed knows no bounds; they're basically telling people to pay an extra 375 RP for that border and triangle.

If you don't want the limited edition options, then wait the 1 week. It's just like any other early access limited edition content; buy it early at a higher price and you get first access and bonus material.

Again, if you don't want that limited and early content, don't buy it. They aren't greedy, you're just stupid.

The problem here is that there is no "content" involved, though I don't mind waiting to buy them for 975. The problem is their reason for charging 1375 for the first week; you've been living in a cave for the past two years or just plain clueless if you think Riot isn't doing this out of pure greed.

LOL "limited content" Riot preys on idiots like you, go pay 1350 so you get that shiny square around your loading picture then buddy.

975 and up skins go on sale (as these will), but you're getting limited content and 1 week early access by paying the full price at release. The differences in the skins aren't a border or whatever (though if it comes with that, sure that's a bonus), each skin tier gets certain things (which these DO have);
