@ Bubobubo: "we want content that... leaves you glad when you look back, even months later."

Most of League's content fits pretty squarely into this category, in my opinion. There are a lot of people that will bring up specific rework skins, early skins, etc., but this thread isn't about that stuff. This thread is about Hextech Annie.

There are, to my knowledge, three exclusive skins to the hextech crafting system. Hextech Annie and the Hextech ward are two that I am SUPER interested in owning. But, every time I ask a player who has Hextech Annie how much it cost them, they say "hundreds of dollars," and they usually make some quip about how they hate themselves or regret their purchase.

Now, I'm not really interested in attacking you over this. I would love to have hextech annie, but this is just a game, after all. I'm more interested in how you would justify such a situation, given the quote that I put in the title. How do you justify Hextech Annie when the players who have it regret the financial hole they put themselves in to earn it? How does that fit this philosophy?

Again, not an attack; I'm just looking for an honest answer. Because I would buy this skin if anyone I had talked to said it was worth it. I want to have it. But I don't want to hate myself after I get it.
