I'm fine with charging RP for Chromas.
I'm not okay with Riot forcing us to buy packs of them when players typically want only one. Riot is aware that 390 RP is too much for a palette swap (that they made— these things should be able to be customized by the players!), so they're putting out these "packs" that look like a good deal on the outside (discount for several Chromas), but are actually even worse than the original concept of 390 RP per Chroma (you can only use one Chroma per game, you'll probably have one Chroma you prefer over the others, you don't get to choose which Chromas Riot puts out (meaning if they make one you like more than the ones in your current set, you have to buy another pack), and you spend more RP than you would have on one Chroma).
TL;DR: Players should be allowed to create Chromas; Chromas should be available individually and for a price lower than 390 RP. Other threads have already demonstrated how easily made these Chromas are; Riot needs to stop being so money-hungry.
Before anyone says "you're just whining; I don't like whining" like OP has, keep in mind that if no one says anything, Riot will think that everyone is happy with their decisions. This is feedback. If you don't like to listen to constructive criticism, you probably don't belong in an online forum.
