PSA (did the math) The USD value per Chroma skin

Kingsgrave·4/11/2015, 5:36:59 AM·2 votes·1,485 views

TLDR: Chromas are actually a really good deal money wise and I really doubt Riot can make much profit off of it unless a huge amount of them are bought, and if you want simple skins these are a far better investment than anything else

73160 RP to buy 1 590 RP Chroma per Champion (124 Current Champs as of 4/10/15) 120900 RP to buy 1 975 RP Skin per Champion (124 Current Champs as of 4/10/15)

5 USD of RP at a time: ($1 = 130 RP) 563 USD to buy 1 Chroma Pack per Champion 1.52 USD per 590 RP Chroma Skin 930 USD to buy 1 Skin per Champion 7.5 USD per 975 RP Skin

10 USD of RP at a time: ($1 = 138 RP) 531 USD to buy 1 Chroma Pack per Champion 1.43 USD per 590 RP Chroma Skin 877 USD to buy 1 Skin per Champion 7.07 USD per 975 RP Skin

20 USD of RP at a time: ($1 = 140 RP) 523 USD to buy 1 Chroma Pack per Champion 1.41 USD per 590 RP Chroma Skin 864 USD to buy 1 Skin per Champion 6.97 USD per 975 RP Skin

35 USD of RP at a time: ($1 = 143 RP) 512 USD to buy 1 Chroma Pack per Champion 1.38 USD per 590 RP Chroma Skin 846 USD to buy 1 Skin per Champion 6.82 USD per 975 RP Skin

50 USD of RP at a time: ($1 = 144 RP) 509 USD to buy 1 Chroma Pack per Champion 1.37 USD per 590 RP Chroma Skin 840 USD to buy 1 Skin per Champion 6.78 USD per 975 RP Skin

100 USD of RP at a time: ($1 = 150 RP) 488 USD to buy 1 Chroma Pack per Champion 1.31 USD per 590 RP Chroma Skin 806 USD to buy 1 Skin per Champion 6.5 USD per 975 RP Skin

.... Well, the issue is that they are recolors that do not really take any work and I do not agree with Riot on their value.

These are IP items. These shouldn't be RP only. It's just not in the interest of basic fairness. We bought the intellectual property already. At least give us a value earned option for a different color of what we paid for (and I very much doubt these took a whole lot of work, since they seem to cover quite a lot).

This basic arithmetic would matter if you could buy them individually, but you can't. These Chromas are 4.25 per skin because that is the minimum purchasable sum.

You cannot acquire any Chroma for less than that sum.

Yeah. 2,5 dollar for a horse armor? Outrageous. 1,5 dollar for a recolor... what a bargain!
