Should riot update the old legendary skins (ex: Gentleman Cho'Gath) or reduce the rp cost?

As some of you may know, the old legendary skins are dwarfed by the newer ones and even by some 1350 skins. They only have a different voice which doesnt warrant the extra RP, as there are no new particles or effects. Should riot reduce the rp cost of Blood lord vladamir, Gentleman Cho'Gath, Nunu bot (be honest with yourself, the laugh doesn't warrant the extra RP). What do you think?

Eventually. I personally think the retired legendary skins should be reduced in price first, as those are even less legendary, just changing particles, if that.

I rather they didn't modify any of the legendary skins, other then giving them a better model if needed.

Cho Gath has a charm to his simplicity and his VO is probably the best out of any of the legendary skins.

I'd throw Demonblade trynd and Corporate mundo in aswell.

Honestly based on reducing or increasing i think it depends what more you can do with the skin. I feel they could do a lot more with gentleman cho, blood lord vlad, and nunu bot. But with champs like mundo and trynd I don't really think there's much more they could give the champ to make it feel more like a legendary skin.

No one mentioned Brolaf?

The only one of them that I own is Gentleman Cho'Gath, and I honestly think he is fine where he's at.

Don't forget, most of those skins are now legacy, and like Magnificent TF, Firefighter Tristana, and others, those skins can go on sale. Were the skins available forever, then yes they would need reductions. However, on some of those skins (Gentlemen Cho) with a VU for the champ being planned in the future, the model, animations and particles have the potential to be updated heavily Similar to how Firefighter Tristana's was updated with her VU/Gameplay update.

Update brolaf, plz and my gentleman cho. Had both since release, my black alistar looks fucking badass on the updated version I love it! I want that shit on my brolaf and gentleman cho. Riots updates are usually in really good taste espically now that they have an actual art team instead of like 5 guys XD

I think they should just bring them up-to-date with the new standards of legendary skins. On a lot of them, it wouldn't take much. Certain ones might not work well or be too busy, so I think they should reduce those prices. Gentleman Cho'Gath for example, I feel like he should just have a price reduction. Nunu bot, and Blood Lord Vlad should easily have enough room to be ramped up a little more. So I think it is a case by case basis. Considering the fact that people have already bought the skins at that amount of RP though, I don't think Riot would reduce the prices because that would be unfair. And it would take way too much time to refund the RP. Should it happen? Yes. Will it? Most likely not.

They should update them, explore their potential more. They also need to start updating splash art for skins. Some of the splash art for old skins look abysmal, specially after they update the base one.

I disagree with changing the old skins. They're a link to the pizza feet past, in other words, historical league. They should be vaulted and have their prices increased when un-vaulted.
