"We didn't give Yasuo a First Strike border because we didn't want to be unfair."

"So we permanently reduced tier 3 rune IP prices and have nothing to hand back to people who already spent the ridiculous amount of time and IP to get them all."

  • Riot's totally sound and non-clashing logic

Note: I am not against lowering rune pricings, but I just wanted to point out this little hypocritical gem.

When did Riot say they didn't give Yasuo a first strike border because it's "unfair"?

Let me locate it, hang on.

Found it for you -

Interesting... that's honestly very interesting language to use calling it "Unfair" - not the verbiage I would've used.

Multiple times. It was said it didn't get it because it wouldn't be fair to the people that bought the First strike new skins, as well as the Yasuo skin that goes with the others for the 1350 price, as they sold the Yasuo skin for 975 for a week (if I'm remembering correctly).

So it would be "unfair" for Yasuo to get the border when the skin was once at a cheaper price (even though the people that didn't pay the cheaper price still aren't getting it either).

In both scenarios players got exactly what they expected.

Prices go down for products all the time, when do you ever get that difference refunded?

And usually they're for champs, not fixed priced, fixed function stat boosts that are nearly mandatory.

I don't need to get Kindred. I do need to get a full rune-page if I want to be relevant.
