If Riot really wants me to spend money on icons and neat stuff, stop taking the effects away.

The URF finishers. The Poro King poros (Although they're at least coming back) The World's Team Icons PROJECT icons/skins. Pool Party Minions And now the Fire/Ice Icons.

Why is it that whenever we get something like this, it'll exist for a patch or two before being disabled? Would it really be so bad to let us have project minions spawn so long as we have an all project team? Is it really so detrimental to have pool party minions optional if we have a pool party group going? Why can't our poro icons alter poros on the default howling abyss?

If you want to keep offering stuff like this for 250 RP, make it permanent. There's little-to-no reason why we can't have this sort of thing happen all the time save for some secret code problem I'm unaware of.

There probably is a reasoning as to why its not permanent. Especially when it involves the Minions. like how will it work when you have your team with all Project skins, but the enemy team has Pool Party skins? those will contradict each other and then what would happen if its Winter and this happens? so now the system has to find out which to summon, the Project, Pool Party or Xmas Minions!

The finishers really have zero reason to be disabled. The Poro have their reason since its tied to the Mode.

Just make it so that you only get those minions for having a five-man comp or otherwise. All you have to do is make the skin system override the seasonal system, should you have the comp for it. As for Pool Party or Project? Just make the minion changes only apply to your side. They certainly have the tech for it considering the project patch could have teams with different affected minions.

FInishers yeah.

And poro icons could definitely work on normal ARAM. Just be like Braum feeding a poro.

Why not have it divided? One team having which ever, there can be a programmed script that counts a ratio of conditions, say 3-5 project skins on one team to activate project minions. Something along the lines, I'm sure there are complications, but I'm sure Riot could make it happen.

I'd actually consider buying icons if the little bonuses they had didn't go away, but as is I don't see a whole lot of reason to pay 250 RP to bling out a little box on my portrait for loading screens.
