Please! Why can't we earn tokens in RANKED Twisted Treeline???

Riot, I love you, but you've been really letting me down for the past few years. You guys missed a huge opportunity for Battle Boss Karthus (who hasn't had a skin in 3 years and before that 5). He's been in the meta and could've used the love. Yasuo has gotten a skin every year since 2016, one of which is Nightbringer. I wouldn't have even minded if it was a proper Sephiroth/Auron/samurai-aesthetic-composite-character reference, but instead we get … whatever that is.

Part of me is willing to forgive Kai'Sa getting another skin because if you consider the prestige K/DA as just a glorified chroma (a direction I wish had been abandoned with the Blitz and was saddened to see continued with the Leos), she only really had two (if not counting team skins). But it really just serves to show that she was designed for the purpose of a skin vehicle and she is balanced around this; and frankly six skins in two years isn't really justifiable when you have so many champions that have been languishing. I get some champions are easy to skin than others, but that's not really an excuse certain 'easy to skin' champs are ridiculously over-favored. (As example, Ez/Lux 100% should not have gotten Academia skins, not because it didn't fit, but because it was neither necessary nor deserved and just shows how lazy your skin crew is; Azir ala Fumikage Tokoyami reference?; Brand ala Bakugo, or even Shoto if they were clever about it; a unique'sh Neeko would've fit, and even a more subdued Evelyn would've been clever; instead we get Ez and Lux... thanks...).

Qiyana doesn't bother me, per se. While my interest in her has faded because I was expecting a different gimmick than terrain bonuses, I actually kinda' like her and am interested in picking her up. But her design is terrible and I was going to rely on skins to make her look less like a pear with a trashy drag wig-n'-crown. I'm disappointed that you're doubling down on that wig-n'-crown and gave her the most tropified 'evil female video game character' get-up to go with it. (I thought part of her character was the bratty teenager thing, so what's with the skimp? I don't mind skimp, but it doesn't make sense here, and the rest is so uninspired that I just can't take her seriously in this or her default skin.)

I want to be supportive of you and despite some obvious decline in some areas, I still like the game. But I'm really disappointed in the artistic direction this game has decided to go and the regression back into tired tropes that I had thought this game had learned to develop above and the blatant preferences to some champs over others. When Odyssey came out, my hopes and faiths were rekindled, but overall, it's just been one-to-four 'missed opportunities' and 'mehs' after another one-to-four. Please put a little more effort into your furture works, think of some more clever expressions of character concepts, and consider other champions while you're doing it. Please.

TL;DR - Your art choices are lacking. Some champs (Karthus) could've/should've been in this line, and some (Kai'Sa/Yasuo) shouldn't have been. Overall implementation is sloppy compared to previous works. You've been slacking over the last couple of years. Please fix.

PSA : There is a 100 prestige points for 2200 tokens. They forgot to add it to the list. Source: Surrender at 20 & a Rioter confirmed on Reddit.

Why don't they make anymore prestige skins that you can get from the Prestige points? I literally have 100 points just sitting here and won't be able to buy anything with them.

For anyone peeping this right now trying to figure out how much you are gaining and losing, here is the optimal way to generate enough tokens for P. Cait.

If each loss (on SR) gives 6 tokens, assuming you were playing blind pick and FF'ing at 15 each game, here is how long it is going to take you.

60 minutes in an hour / 15 minutes (min amount of time to ff) = 4.

4 games an hour * 6 tokens a loss = 24 tokens a minute. 2000 tokens / 24 = ~83.5 hours.

This is excluding matchmaking and pick time, but the missions should be able to keep the numbers consistent.

Because winning a game has fluctuating game times, as far as Im aware, this is the fastest way to cap the skin.

Best of luck!

You seriously made a Battle Boss Yasuo skin? What a wasted opportunity.

Anyone know when the Demacia Vice skins are supposed to be coming out? My guess is that they're being released next patch because of the end date being 2 weeks later than the Arcade event.

PolarH2O6/24/2019, 8:01:38 PM2 votes

Will I be able to get the chromas without paying for the pass? My main question is how many tokens can I get from the quests?

Roxti7/1/2019, 8:24:16 AM1 votes

Wait so thats all the missions for those who dont get the pass? We only get a total of 120 tokens??? What a waste. Guess I'm not getting the Border+Icon for Kai'sa :/
