Don't like the skins you own .. Want a little RP back ... or give it to a friend who likes it

Skedadle·Apr 5, 2015·16 votes·1,781 views

Like almost everyone owns a skin which he/she doesn't even like . So Riot can do something about it ... as in refund skins for half RP or less. Or give it to someone who likes it.

This event can be for a day or two
People can exchange skins
Get a refund in short form of RP so they can buy skin of their choice
Can be limited up to 4 - 5 transactions
Disadvantage - people can transfer skins to smurf :/
Advantage - Good guy RIOT ( make summoners happy ) and pink taric sad ;)

EXAMPLE - Happy thanksgiving event - give skins to your friend which you own without any cost. or refund it for half rp cost or less to buy more skins.

[Still a rough idea .. . many more advantages and disadvantages]

/ but can make many people happy /

There'd be a massive increase of people trying to steal accounts.

Yeah, but they'd have to know your username. Don't know the username, don't get the account. Unless that person is keylogged and doesn't have "Remember me" selected. Or that person switches between accounts. I do support this post. But, I'd rather have a free refund given out every season or for the account's birthday.

That doesn't stop old accounts from being stolen in the thousands as it is. I don't think we need to give them any incentive to ramp up production. I do like more refunds though.

There are plenty of saps not smart or savvy enough to spot a phishing scam, and click those "free RP" links and type their info directly to them.

I agree but this is just a rough idea .. they can brainstorm it and make it much better or worse lol

I vote Maybe. Why not yes or no? Well, I've got skins I don't really want. Basically because I'm addicted to the Mystery Skin sales; that means I get both garbage and awesome stuff. No reason to keep the ones I'll never use, right? Well yes, but if I gift them away or trade or w/e with this...I'd just end up getting the same ones again at the next Mystery Skin sale!

If I could gift the skins off, I definitely would though. I know I have a ton of skins I'll never use, that friends would love to have.

This, this exactly.

well exactly i got 4 Amumu skins and pink taric from mystery gfts although I own around 60 champs . . . still this is a rough idea i got and RIOT can improve it by thinking over it if its taken into consideration .

For a second, I thought the title said "Want a little RP hack?" and I was about to downvote to all oblivion...

Honestly, I'd be fine with just allowing more than 3 refunds per account, as its a deathly noob trap anyway. I think giving another 3 refunds per season will suffice.

SkedadleApr 6, 20151 votes

LoL . . . I used my refunds wayyy back and I regret it lol

This will never happen seeing as this would just open the door to a black market that would lose riot money. "Oi, don't like X skin? I'll trade you for Y skin mate"

SkedadleApr 6, 20151 votes

true lol but many upcoming games are competing with league sooner or later they have to do somthing about it i guess . .

No cuz then u can just specify and buy full rune pages for you main champs in differant roles, and such. Ip dosent loose worth, people just dont realize how more power a champ can be with a customized page of their own....

And with champs like fiddle you coulde have one for jungle, one for mid, and one for support. Trtndamire could have one for jungle, and one for top, Karma one for mid, one for support... And even further Varus AP, Varus AD, Kayle top AD, Kayle top AP, Kayle top tank- Kayle mid AP, Kayle mid AD, Kayle support AP, kayle support Tank.

Theirs ALOT more you can do!!!!

(Kayle was my answer to everything for a while :P, even got her legendary skin...)

DarkFaun FortesApr 5, 20152 votes

They might be more willing if instead u got IP back, and could only send each person one gift (stopping smurf accounts from transferring all their skins)

SkedadleApr 6, 20151 votes

IP is cool but what if u get all champs and usage of max IP . . . it will be worthless right ? still an idea to think on ...

EchoZeeroApr 5, 20152 votes

Trading skins? Maybe. Refund for any amount won't work as some skins might have been a mystery gift and can't be valued at the skin cost. All of the skins I have have either been gifted by a friend or by myself with a mystery skin purchase so none of the skins I own can be valued at their skin cost.

I think it might be better to give IP for skins. You don't want the skin, but Riot doesn't want to give back the RP for various reasons (IE you wouldnt spend money to buy a skin because you can just trade all your unwanted skins for the RP to get the new one.) If it refunds you by giving you IP you can use the IP to get stuff you want, but it doesn't get in the way of potential sales nearly as much.

I got 5 Caitlyn skins from Mystery Gifting and it would be cool to trade a skin to someone who doesn't have it for a skin for a champion that I don't have one for.
