Rito won't do it. They're gonna make you buy Pool Party Mundo.

I'm hoping they do this. If I get a free ppmundo, I'll buy the bundle (assuming it's 50% off). Having to pay that extra bit for him makes it less worth tho, so I'm more likely to wait until the ones I want get standard sales in a year.

I hope you guys realize this is a skin and Riot owes you absolutely nothing. The idea for the challenge was that millions all over the world would play and earn enough points. It was on us and we collectively as their fan base didn't do it. Most people just want the free skin because it's a free skin. Most of us don't even play Mundo. Don't get mad or think Riot owes you another day. You've got a free game, they gave the opportunity for a premium free gift, we just didn't do well enough.

Meh. I could have bought ~4 PP Mundo skins with the RP I spent on gifting people, but I care less. I made some people happy, and that's all that matters to me.

But Rito; why no in-client way to see the total points?

I am not going to bother asking for another day- it will not happen. I will, however, ask for these changes to be made in the future:

  1. Don't hold an event like this during a week such as this. It was E3 week, finals week for many our Canadian friends, Father's Day on Sunday, and in the middle of the Steam Sale. I understand that it may be a lower traffic time, but this was just horribly timed.

  2. Spread the points around a little more fairly: -Winning a 5 man game: 10 points -Losing a 5 man game: 5 points -Playing any PvP game (excluding customs): 1 point -Gifting in the post-game lobby: 15 points -Gifting a friend: 20 points

When there is a forum post from a Red explaining that they made the goals based on normal population of players and then increased the goal so that we would have to play more (in a week filled with so many events outside of LoL) that's awful marketing. What's worse, is that the ways to earn points are so terrible, that gifting a RANDOM person 1 item is worth 4 WINS with a premade 5's team.

I appreciate the free items we will be getting, but please refine the next event that works similar to this.

Rito is crazy awesome. They will most likely unlock all of the rewards anyway. Lol.

Uhhhh, how about no. I find it funny about people wanting a free skin for mundo too. You know how many Mundo players I see? I see more Galio's than Mundo's.

This event was horribly timed. It took place during the two biggest events in gaming. E3 and the Steam Summer Sale. So if people weren't watching E3 they were playing their new Steam games. I, personally, have been playing my new games from Steam and just logged in to give some gifts.

I think extending it is pointless. They can choose to give us reward(s) that we didn't actually unlock, or they can leave it like it is and call it a day. Either way we're still getting free stuff and it was a net benefit. The fact that people are calling Riot greedy for this event is just pathetic because it's all free stuff.

Obviously they set the bar a little too high, but it also begs the question - did everyone try as hard as they could have? I know I didn't, but I also didn't feel like my individual impact was large enough to make a difference. Maybe that was the problem.

I think future events should be more focused on individual unlocks (score X points as an individual and unlock the reward). Honestly I think more points would have been scored overall as a community if the rewards were individual instead of community focused.

You make a valid point. Looks like Riot didn't take into account of Fathers day.

There is a glitch with the Pool Pary Reksai skin. At the ending of his recall he simply goes into his burried form and sits there where it looks as if he should be doing something different
