Simple response to the lack of comms on Rito's part and punishment for their very poor marketing/PR strategy. Seriously, all 
mains out there, you waited this long for the skin, wait 1 more day after it releases. Make Rito shit themselves when they wake up the next morning and see no one bought the damn thing.
Mind explaining what you're actually upset about?
screw that i got the skin on preorder. Ima buy two so they make more.
Fuck that, I'm buying that shit ASAP
Yeah, that'll show them.
IF it's not out today then I'd be left baffled, because riot usually releases skins on Thursdays!** I check it every hour and it's STILL UNAVAILABLE!** [zombie-brand-facepalm]
That about SION mains flooding this topic is true XD check my name
Yep I'm definitely not giving them a dime. This is a fucking joke. They started the hype train a month ago and now basically tell us to fuck ourselves. The skin is fucking OUT people PLAY WITH IT because they can get it through fucking mystery gifts. This means it's 100% ready to go and they are just choosing to not release it so it doesn't look like they were being petty with the spinning axes event. Which they were. Really fucking sad. I stopped playing league in the last week. I open my client to see it it's up, it never is, I close my client. Such a fucking shame that they don't want our money and don't even care enough to say something about the subject.
I feel it's important for companies to be responsible to the feelings of their customers. We are customers. Plain and simple. It's no different than any other company that puts out a product. But only in the video game world can we be sold a bunch of half assed or never realized promises, decreasing quality, secretive and misleading marketing, and yet still be expected to passively accept what we get and pay our money for.
Sales work a lot on launches. Two things need to be achieved in sales. One: a successful launch. This hinges on good information that is timely, updated, and accurate. Increase the hype to a reasonable level through clever marketing. Two: The longevity of a product. How well it stands the test of time, how well its sales continue through the years. Rito has blown the launch pretty hard. The posts have changed from eager anticipation to annoyance over the delays. If it goes longer, the posts will just disappear. That's when they really failed.
Companies need to be shown that their poor marketing and empty promises will hurt their sales and reputation. Today, video game companies seem to be unstoppable juggernauts of failures rewarded with continued sales. So if you boycott the skin for one day, that hurts step one. It shows them that they made people mad enough to actually take action beyond angrily typing on the forums.
Now here is an example of Riot taking people's concerns to heart. Worth mentioning. Glad to see it.
gl having all Sion Mains read this post.
Ultimately I am posting this because I care about the game and some of Riot's decisions concern me. We've been promised updates and reworks that took years to come together. We've been promised skins that never came out. We've had hurried launches that failed because they hadn't been properly stress tested. All of this is followed with very little information concerning the process of fixing it and making sure it doesn't happen again. I want information is all, and this is the moment I've chosen to voice my desire to be more regularly and thoroughly informed by Riot as to what is going on with something I've invested a lot of time and money into.
Wow shut me up. It's out. And no announcement at all? Weird.
