Sonna Odyssey Emote is locked for players.

But Why? Emote.png

Sonna Odyssey Emote is only for Content Creators. Seems extremely unfair the way the other Odyssey emotes for other champions are available to players while Sonna fans are out of luck on this one.

The emote speaks for itself. But Why?

Yea, this is by far the stupidest decision making riot have done so far. Absolutely no point to it.

No different from handing out Victorious skins, King Rammus, Ufo Corki or skins from different bundles like Black Alistar or Silver Kayle

What do you mean? At least those skins you COULD EARN YOURSELF, if u dont have victorious skin, get gold. If u dont have the old rare skins, should have played the game that time and bought it when it was available. Sona emote? You have to deal with RNG bs since people do giveaways of the emote or be a league partner which is not that easy...

You CAN EARN the Sona emote YOURSELF. Takes much less effort then getting 350 referals for Medieval Twitch. Grey Warwick was handed out for 50 referals. So it's not the first time LoL is giving something away for bringing people to the game... too bad it's only a crappy emote and not an awesome skin.

Sure cuz 50+ average concurrent viewers on your livestreams in the past 30 days and/or 5,000+ average views on your video content in the past 30 days + 1,000 YouTube subscribers is an easy task for someone that just wants a fking emote right

btw you can get medieval twitch by reaching honor 5, not guaranteed I believe, but I got mine that way

You can earn everything yourself , does not mean that everyone can, especially if Riot takes the effort to the orbit.

I hope that Riot will not keep locking champion related content behind that content creator system anymore. It feels pretty bad to see that players of Jinx Kayn Yasuo Ziggs Malphite were all able to purchase the entire content for their champion, yet Sona fans couldn't get it all without extreme luck being involved.

I wouldn't care if they do this with "neutral" stuff, like another one of these penguin emotes or something like that. But doing it with stuff related to a specific champion feels really bad for their playerbase.

That being said: It had the upside that if you are a Sona fan and managed to get this emote, it feels extremely special and rewarding, I guess......


However, this topic has been discussed a dozen times during the Odyssey event and I don't think there is much benefit to keep posting about it. We can just hope that Riot learns from that and doesn't do it again.

Yeah Right... "Hope is the opiate of the frail"

It is a damn shame that Riot would do something as stupid as this to the entirety of Sona's fanbase. Hopefully theyll get their heads out of their asses and allow us to obtain our emote like the rest of those champions.

Because yeah, Jinx totally needs SIX emotes. But nah, let's hide a different champion's content for literally no reason.

Actually 7 if you count the one not released yet for Jinx. A stand for Sona's fanbase is a stand for the entire LoL playerbase against the injustice.

Which 7th emote not released for her yet? First time I heard about this, do you have a picture?

Don't be surprised if its actually released for the exclusive few.

One of the few times I've been like: "really? they're doing giveaways?" Like I'd understand if the content was BASED off the creators themselves but an emote of a champ is just..why riot?

be happy you at least have 2 other emotes to use. MonkeyKing players were forced to either buy an entire bundle pack just for the one emote or go without. Meanwhile I believe Ezreal and Jinx are both sitting at 6 now give or take.

I get your point, but at least you could drop money for your emote. I was forced to follow dozens of people I otherwise do not care about in the slightest on Twitter just for a chance at an emote for my champion. Meanwhile Jinx players could go in and buy their 6th emote in the store

Yea, Drop more money then it's worth just to get that one emote in addition to several others I didn't want ( believe it cost about as much as an epic or legendary skin iirc, sadly can't find the exact prices anywhere). All I'm saying is be happy you at least have other emotes to play with. There is a reason Riot hasn't done the bundle crap with any other emotes yet. Yes, it sucks they restricted it and like the bundle situation, will likely cause Riot to not try to do it again seeing how much backlash it caused. The difference is that you still have 2 others that you can get at any time on there own. the Wukong one won't be available again till next Chinese new years and very likely will be kept as a bundle exclusive cause they won't have any reason to change it. "Still don't want to pay the outrageous price just for the Wukong emote? well guess your out of luck."

In the end, Riot really needs to figure out what they are doing with these things. I know they want to do these "exclusives" for people, but this isn't the way to do it. Restricted emotes should go to champs like Jinx who have way more then they should, not champs with hardly any. Which for this situation would have worked seeing as She also got a skin for the event, along with an emote I believe. That one could have easily been the content creator emote over the sona one.

Better yet, they should have used the non-champion specific Odyssey emote, or even more obvious, made an emote specifically FOR the creator program. But no, they took the easy way out of it. Why do any extra work when we can lock an emote away that's no better than its peers? Who cares what Sona's fans think? Jinx needs 7 emotes, though!

Wtf I'm a content creator I should have it.

I don't understand why Riot does this. It doesn't incite me to go check their videos to get the emote code and it's just wasted money for them. They hired artists to make that emote just so that people can't use it or even buy it? Same thing with skins, I won't say, oh hey, that guy watches League videos, cause he has green infernal Amumu, I really should watch more videos if I want skins. I guess, it's a way to help content creators get a fan base, but really, just having it as a giveaway is good enough, no need to lock it. At the very least, make it a 1350 RP skin.

I want my Xayah emote. I want it so bad. Why can't Riot just give a cool emote for reaching mastery 7 on a champion, which is obviously for that champion specifically.

Someone was trying to sell two codes on Sona mains subreddit for 30$ as a starting price for each one.

Who would've thought that it's gonna end up like this if you force something to be unavailable for purchase since its release /s

at least sona gets an emote, as oppose to shaco mains who are waiting for any kind of cosmetic whatsoever
