I'll never understand why Riot tests skins, OK's them for Live,

(Also, since Riot can't decide where they want my thread to be, but keeps deleting it anyway [while telling me where it should be, and then deleting it and giving me a warning] I have double posted it. So if one of you want to give me some clarification, that would be nice. Just because it's a new forum doesn't mean you get to be modhappy.)

and then keeps them as Unavailable for days or even weeks. I really don't get it. What's the point? Hype? That's the reason we have S@20. Or is it so Rioters can have a head start on skins? They can use them before us? Is that what's going on...? Because I really see no other reason for them to be locking the skins.

Remember the SKT skins? Didn't it take, like around a week for them to be available for purchase?

If you greenlight them to be included i nthe live game, why can't we buy them? I'd understand if we couldn't do it IMMEDIATELY, but why do we have to wait days? This isn't about entitlement, this isn't about wanting to spend money, it's sheer confusion on what the hell they're thinking. It's ready, so why not just let it out??? It reminds me of sex with my ex.

Pretty sure it's for hype, and the spacing probably makes it easier to spend more. If 3 skins you wanted came out, dropping PR for all 3 would be tough. If they were a few days apart, buying 3 skins would be much easier. It sucks, but Riot is just following good business sense, can't really blame a company for doing that.

Of course they need to be tested! U want them to be full of bugs?! What if the new miss fortune ulti design gave her more or less range on her ulti?

Some of the new skins might have unique 3D models specially made for that skin. Most of the new ones have different animations on recall. Im not sure but i don't think that rioters have exclusive access, i think that new skins are pre-released on PBE.

Here read for the new update on PBE.
