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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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

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.

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.
