Refunds for skins after Visual Updates? (Poll)

Does anyone else think it fair that riot offer extra refunds to players for the skins of champions who have just recently been given a visual update? I personally am speaking about the Fiora update... which utterly trashed everything I liked about her in-game look. I also remember a LOT of complaints over the Cass remodel giving her a massive horse-face. I think it would be fair to offer players the opportunity to refund skins that are changed due to champion visual updates. Skins are ONLY purchased because the way they look appeals to you. If they are changed into something that you would not have spent real money on, it seems only right to get your RP back for them, don't you think? I mean... you basically bought art. If I buy a poster, the artist of said poster doesn't get to come into my house a month later and tear down the old poster than I liked and put up a new one that I don't like because he or she prefers his new work. I feel we should be allowed to ask for refunds for skins if those skins have been changed.

It might even cut down on how little community input they take into account when setting up these VU's too. At the very LEAST it would let people who have been stuck with a skin that they no longer want to get new ones that they do. Perhaps something like a two-week grace period after each champion VU where players who previously owned that champ AND who own a skin for them can refund them. What do you think?

Seems fair, I mean I do like the fact that "Sailor Gangplank" looks like popeye now, but at the same time I dont because the orignal sailor skin was MUCH better. I probably would refund it because even though its legacy it just doesnt feel the same now.

I'm not a huge fan of it either, but it doesn't bother me as much as say... Royal guard Fiora.

yeah there are some skins that get reworked and look way different, I know riot puts in effort and is essentially giving us a new free skin, but we paid for a certain type of skin, and although I know in their EULA and terms of service they arent REQUIRED to give refunds for anything based on changes or removal of something, I still think itd be a good idea. That or they could perhaps have both options of the skin available (for those who had the skin pre rework) kind of like what they did with karma/trundle/sej they updated the original and kept the traditional skins if you prefer the old style and if I'm correct thats what they are doing with the "captain Gangplank" skin if Im correct?

I'd Like to see two options of skins available that is only accessible to people who had previously owned the old version of the skin rather than refunds. although refunds are a viable option as well

So you're saying that between when you bought it and when it changed, you didn't use it at all?

Because the only case I could justify you getting a refund is if you hadn't gotten to use the skin. Like if you bought it and then they immediately announced the rework that changed it.

If you use a skin, you've gotten what you paid for.
