Fate is cruel to my Mystery Skin

As someone who doesn't have access to RP, since I'm far too poor, I naturally saw Riot's post about the reward extremely exciting. I mean, I would've loved almost any skin I could've gotten. Odds were in my favor to get things like Armor of the Fifth Age Manric in all its outrageousness, or Galactic Azir, so I could make jokes like "Come in Star Command!" and have one of the coolest skins in the game IMO.

So, what do I get? Dryad Soraka. A skin for a champ I never use (bought her so I could meet the required champs for draft pick) and it's not even a cool skin. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the skin, it's a skin I would've never had if it was never given to me. I guess I was just hoping for a better skin that I could have more fun using.

Why Rito must you tease me so?

Hey, it's better than nothing, isn't it? I didn't get a skin because of a permaban because of a chargeback.

That's a good skin though, ._.

It's the better of the soraka skins, I agree, it's just that I will literally NEVER play soraka and I wish I would've gotten a skin I would actually use and play.

I actually got a 975 RP Tristana skin. It's nice but I unfortunately don't play adc. I feel like the game wants me to play adc Tristana because my friend mystery gifted me a couple weeks ago and I got a Tristana skin.

It's kind of funny how I have 3 skins for a champ I am yet to play but 2 for my favorite champ. I don't mind though. Free stuff is always nice c:

i got a skin for a champion i suck with. at least it's an incentive to get good with him.

ungrateful brat makes a post about getting a free skin Downvoted.

Get a job you slob then maybe you could buy your own skins "too poor"

I work and support my mother and my 2 younger brothers and her dead beat boyfriend.

Pretty sure you can get a job doing anything.

When I was younger I raked leaves for 10 bucks a yard. I salted+ shoveled driveways or 15 bucks 20 bucks if I used my snow blower because gas is disgustingly overpriced.

Sir (or Madam), there's no reason to be so rude. I'm not ungrateful, if you bothered reading it I actually said "Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the skin, it's a skin I would've never had if it weren't given to me."

I'm not able to get RP for a multitude of reasons:

My parents don't like me leaving the house for any reason aside from school or scouts.
My parents don't believe in allowance, so I have no source of income.
I'm saving up to do my eagle scout project, so every bit of cash that I do get my hands on goes directly to that.

Now, I'm glad your circumstances allow you access to money, my circumstances, however, do not. So please, don't be so rude on the matter.

Have a good day.

Your "parents" are against you going out and getting a job/Making money

Welp I think I'm done here, bye.

Ever consider maybe not all parents are the same? Ever consider not everyone is able to do everything you can? Ever consider that maybe some people don't have any opportunity do do the same things you do? Seriously, this isn't a rage thread, If you cant tell, he means it in a sarcastic manner and there was no reason to call him a brat/slob. People like you are the reason people say we have such a bad community...

Actually there is a way to get "free" rp. It's by searching on Bing and using rewards to get cards you can redeem for rp. This is VERY slow, but if you are patient and can't use your own money then it's worth it. With this I've been getting 650 rp every 20 days, which isn't much, but I use it to trade gifts with my friends.

Thanks for the advice, but my circumstances don't even allow that.
