Braum and his Massive... Monologues

Braum... Braum has a ton of quotes. If I'm not mistaken, it is very close to the amount that Spirit Guard Udyr has. Which brings me to my point: what's the point of paying 1850 RP or even 3250 RP when classic skins get more dialogue than the Legendaries, and almost as much as Ultimates? I really wanted Gentleman Cho'Gath, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of point in getting the skins due to its lackluster amount of substance to it. Sure he's got completely different dialogue, but so does his Battlecast skin, although that has at least 4x as much for the same price, in addition to different animations. I think that this is a huge problem, and will negatively impact sales of the skins. The way I see it there are 3 options: retire the skins in the legacy vault, slash the prices to imperial or epic skins, or rework the skins to increase their value. I wouldn't mind spending the money on legendary skins, as I own 2 as well as both ultimates, as long as they have some inherent value to them. And as of right now, the old legendary skins are aging roughly about the same rate as milk does in the sun Twitch ...

We want to add as much value as we can to everything we make. We were adding to Braum up until the last minute. Our standards have gone way up as time has gone on.

Any legendary we release will be much more elaborate than the base, or any of the other skins.

What I think OP was trying to get at is that since the quality is being held to such a higher standard than it was before, are there any plans to go back and update the extremely outdated skins to try and match the substance level of the newer content that's being pushed out?

Or to readjust prices to have the older "Legendary" skins meet price points of similar skins, now that they might almost classified as normal 975 skins since the content level is about the same or even in favor of the newer 975 skins?

I do agree that the newer content is by far better done than the older content. As for Cho'Gath though, I'd love to see him get a VU, definitely including his skins since only Battlecast Cho'Gath is truly awe-inspiring right now. (Disclaimer, I happen to primarily use Gentleman Cho'Gath and love it)
