"The development team doesn't see individual support tickets like these" - Hextechnician

I was directed here from a "Hextechnician" to plead my case about prestige skin borders so here is a copy paste from my ticket I submitted.

To quote from below re-rolling skin shards into the new prestige skins will no longer grant the prestige skin border? Why is that? I have spent almost $8000 on skins and champions I have over 200 skin shards in my hextech crafting over 100 gemstones and over 100 prestige points I legitimately have almost everything obtainable in game post season 4 which includes skin borders so why am I who has given so much of my time and money into the game that I love am being punished for doing so?

"At the end of next year, all 2020 Event Prestige skins released through Worlds 2020 will be temporarily available for 100 Prestige Points each. We're recognizing players who were there for 2020 events by reserving the Prestige border for Event Prestige unlocks made during events with event tokens. These players will also get an exclusive icon. Crafting an Event Prestige skin with Prestige Points at the end of the year will not award the border or icon. Similarly, getting a 2020 Prestige skin by re-rolling three skin shards or upgrading a lucky skin shard drop from Hextech Crafting will not award the border or icon. Unlocking Prestige Point skins with Prestige Points will still grant a Prestige border. They'll also grant an exclusive icon. Same rules apply here: re-rolling or getting a drop via Hextech Crafting will not award the border or icon. All Prestige skins released before 2020 will still include their border if obtained via re-roll or Hextech Crafting drop. In January 2021 when 2020 Prestige Points expire and the 2020 Prestige skins leave the Prestige Point shop, all 2020 Prestige skins will become permanently unobtainable outside of Hextech Crafting drops or re-rolls. These changes won't retroactively apply to Event Prestige skins released during 2018 and 2019. Players who unlocked those skins did so with the expectation that event tokens would be the only way to get them, and we wanted to respect those players' investments.

Thanks for all of your feedback thus far about Prestige. We'll be back with more information on 2020 plans early next year!"

How are you 'being punished'? You can still reroll to get the skin for free, you just don't get the exclusive "I actually paid for this, specifically" icon and border with the skin. Either pay for the ability to have an icon you'll never use and a border that will show up maybe once a year, or satisfy yourself with only getting the Prestige skin for the cost of rerolling 3 of your several hundred skin shards.
