So Stop with this damn "Refund ur skin" nonsense.

EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. I hear it. If someone does poorly, people have to throw out the jab "Refund that skin, you dont deserve it" So please KNOCK IT THE GNAR OFF

Skins are Customization/Personalization. Why else would they make the Chroma packs on some of them. They are made so that you can have a skin that reflects more of yourself. They are made to be goofy, strange, creepy, impressive, festive, etc. THEY ARE NOT Reliant on your skill with a certain champ. If they relied on skill, they would be classified as achievements and come with certain CONDITIONS that had to be met in order to unlock them. Such as getting X number of kills in a row, Healing a teammate X number of times. Or scorin a penta at a certain time. Skins are made much like ward skins, TO MAKE RIOT MONEY. That is why they are for SALE

So stop beating your chest like some caveman (unless your Gnar ) and drop the constant bashing just because someone else wears a skin but doent play to the standards YOU have set for them IN YOUR OWN HEAD.

TL:DR: Skins are CUSTOMIZATION/Sale based. NOT achievement based. So STFU with the "Refund your skin/champ" comments

What's worse is to be told to change your name as well as refunding your skin when you do poorly as your main champ...

I mean...the people saying those sorts of comments are unlikely to listen to reason, it's why they are saying that stuff. Telling someone to refund their skin is about akin to the feeling behind "uninstall scrub", it's essentially a meaningless insult.

It's basically just another way of an asshole telling you you're not worthy of playing that champion or this game.

Yeah its basically said asshole assuming "he/she has a skin so must be a league world championship, a platinum 1 player" not "He/she has a skin, it must have been appealing to him/her in some way"

They assume if you have a skin, you must be able to carry them. And when you fail to carry them, they rage at you.

Nah, the general implication is more time vs money.

People assume that if you have a skin, then you should be decent enough with the champion to a get a skin.

But if you haven't invested enough time on the champion, then why blow money on them?

Sometimes a champ just isnt that visually appealing on its own. It could have awesome abilities and mechanics, but the other element is how much -Visual- Appeal a champ has. If they come out with a skin that gives the champ more visual appeal. If you find a skin that gives a champ a look you like more, you may be more inclined to practice and improve with a champ.

For some people they buy a skin for a champ they are good at, for others it could easily be that buying a skin makes them more motivated to practice/improve a particular champ. I mean if your looking at a champ the whole game, you dont want one that is a visual eyesore without a skin.

"refund your skin" is a Valid statement, and actually there to help you. If you buy pulsefire ezreal, and then feed with him, you're gonna get called out, whether it is in a toxic manner or not is up to the players. Saying "refund your skin" is like saying "you aren't that great with that champion, but you still spent a ton of money on him, and I don't want you feeding every game as champion, so I would like you to refund that skin and spend the RP on some skin for a champ that you enjoy playing, and are good at." It's not "nonsense," it's logic, maybe not in the most appropriate manner, or nice, but it's trying to help you nonetheless.
