@Riot: A merchandise problem?
Why is it so hard to find and buy League merchandise? I was at PAX this year, which was awesome and the LCS puts on a great show, but there was no booth to buy anything. Even a basic search online shows that it can be pain to get anything beyond the same 5 t-shirts, and as of this writing merch.leagueoflegends.com is down. I know there is a merch store at LCS California for the events, but as far as I know you can’t get that stuff anywhere else.
So I have a couple of questions for Riot
**Why is there so few merchandise available? ** -League is huge, shouldn't there be toys and plushies and stuff available everywhere for a majority of your champions, wouldn’t there be money in it, and wouldn’t you make fans happy in the process?
**Why is the stuff you have so rare and hard to find? ** - I know there are stuff like blitz jackets and poro plushies, yet I have never seen them for sale short of ebay. At PAX one of the rioters for the community panel had a sweet Ziggs t-shirt, I main Ziggs, I would love to buy that shirt and wear it but I can’t =-(
Heck even the Symbolic Teemo hat is hard to get if you don’t exactly know where to look. It took me months before I finally found one at a Convention.
Some companies go overboard with merch, and I am not recommending that Riot sells out. But I spend a lot of time with this game, either through playing or watching the LCS. I enjoy it and I like having shirts and junk that show others I like it and I am willing to give Riot money to do it.
RITO PLZ
Anybody else agree? Disagree? Riot, any comment?
