A simple solution for Challenger Ahri
First off, I hate the fact that this problem has happened twice, not ONCE, but twice in the same month. Stop making mistakes Riot. The first one was okay, there was an explanation, as well as something to make up for it. Because it was an error to be placed into the snowstorm sale list, Riot has promised to put it on sale at 50% in January instead of including it in the Snowstorm sale. Okay, that's fair, right? But then now, we have the Snowdown Shop, which of course, means that any skin that you see, shown by RIOT, you can purchase. I happened to draw Challenger Ahri (no surprise, I main her). Okay. If you had placed her into my Snowdown shop, you have to honor what mistakes you make. It's not the first time. If it had been left at the first mistake (with the explanation given), no one would care because it was promised.
Now there are talks that instead, if you had gotten Challenger Ahri, you might just not get the opportunity to get it until January like everyone else, and not have another option in your Snowdown shop.
Honestly, it's just unfair to make a mistake that many people accepted the explanation for, but a second time isn't really acceptable. The simple solution:
- Make it available to those that can purchase it in their Snowdown Shops. OR because of the discounts...
- Make it available at full price (975 RP) for those who who had drawn it in their Snowdown Shops.
You can't really take it away unless you want people to be continuously irritated at your constant mistakes that are only coming from YOUR end. I can bet that a majority of people who have wanted Challenger Ahri since it was released last January and has her in their Snowdown Shop, they had already charged their card to purchase RP just for that skin. How is this any fair? What if they had already charged their card the first time? Riot, how can you not see that any mistake on your part affects your customers, the people who pay for your company to thrive? A second mistake is siimply NOT acceptable.
