Hi, alls. I became a fan of League of Legends in the middle of Season 3, and i like this game very much. Here i want to ask some questions about the championship skin, expecially riven's. Recently, riven is extremely op and i am practicing it for a long time. For the skin, I ectremely fond of Championship riven, however it's currently unavailable. When will this skin be available to purchase? or, it's kind of unfair for those people who joined this game in Season 3 and later.

There have been no current mentions (that I am aware of) that allude to championship riven being available any time soon, or ever again for that matter. I understand your pain, as riven is my favorite champion and I very much wish this skin would be available again. Also, due to the fact that they are working on and releasing a new 1350 RP Riven skin, Dragon Blade Riven, Riot will most likely wants to let that be the new dominant Riven skin. Mainly because they need to make a return on the investment and time it took to design and make the skin (it does look pretty great). I agree that it is unfair in a way that people who joined in season 3, like you and me, haven't had chance to purchase a great skin for a great champ, yet games like League, want to reward players who have stayed dedicated from when the game was in it's earlier stages, with something that is unique. A great example is when the harrowing skins were re-released they gave a special Summoner Icon to those who already owned the a harrowing skin.

On a side note, you should have seen Riven in season 2! That was really OP. I think Riven is a great champ, and is fairly balanced right now, unless she gets fed, (like every champion). So, keep on enjoying Riven! She is a great champ, and if you want a good skin go for Redeemed Riven, or Dragon Blade. I own Redeemed and it is really cool, and Dragon Blade looks stunning (W).

this was a dilemma that came up about skins that were only available during the first year or two of LoL.

Recently Riot is giving everyone opportunities to pick up MOST of these skins. ALthough Championship skins and some others are not going to become available again, at least to the last announcement by riot in their new policy on old skins.

I'll link you the page when riot announced their plans: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/store/sales/plan-vintage-limited-edition-skins

To add onto what others have said:

Riot stated that if they were to bring back Championship Riven, all owners would get the same treatment as other limited skins (border, refund, icon.) There are no current plans to do so, but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen.

As for Championship Thresh, that is a legacy skin and can be brought back at any time.
