I'm totally down for some 750 rp skins!

I know Wizardcrab wanted to hear our feedback on skin pricing, so I'll out and out say it right here.

I am 100% okay with more 750 rp skins. Do I want riotdudebro to make some Kick-A particles for some 975 and up skins? Heck yeah! Variety is the spice of life! I'm ready to see some new blood in the more affordable skins market. Although the skins there already are fantastic, I'd love to see what Riot can do if they just focus on the model itself.

I'm not a fan of recolours personally, but man do I think some cool material could crawl out of the 750rp pipeline. Some of my favorite skins are literally just model changes.

Now, I've bought an absolutely obscene amount of rp, so I have skins from every single tier for most of my champions. As an avid customer, I want Riot to know that I fully support more 750 rp skins coming out into the open air!

I completely agree that more variety in terms of skins is welcome, but the problem is community expectations. Just look at the TPA skins released last year - as soon as they hit the PBE, posts came flying in wishing for new particles, new audio, new and more everything. Of course, they didn't want the price to change, just add more to it for no extra charge!

We've definitely taken some of the skins team's awesomeness for granted in recent months, and it's going to be hard to change that.

Counter: I do mind 750RP skins. What would make your suggestion viable, from my perspective, would be if skin sales followed champ sales and 750 skins were reduced to the equivalent of $5. When you see 1-2 skins across all champs rotate through sales, you have to wait some time, if you haven't been playing for 12+mo, to even get a chance for a 'sale' skin for a champ you have.

I miss when each new champ had 2 skins released - one cheap and one high-quality. I do love the high quality of all of the recent skins but they take much longer to produce and it leaves not so many cheap options. It would be great if they could quickly get out a bunch of cheaper model-only skins for newer champions, especially those with only one or two skin options.

I agree. I'd like some more cheap skins.

See I'd be happy as hell if the 750ip range was a basic recolour with particles recolored.

I mean, look the worst offenders for this:

Shadow Prince Malzahar

This basic skin perfectly captures one of the fantasy's a Malz player could have and the splash are gets it exactly right- and then the skin falls so hard in game by having the same old purple particles.

I dont want the Infernal Xerath treatment (I mean I DO because god those particles <3 but I will pay $$ for that in a legendary skin) just a recolour appropriate for theme.
