I love how almost all of the negative comments are like "how dare this company based on micro transactions make me pay for awesome content that is purely aesthetics based and serves no true in-game function other than looking cool"

PKThunder2476 votes

I hope never...

lIIlIIIlIIIlIIl5 votes

Never hopefully. The fact that they left regular URF up for a month is what created a ridiculously unbalanced meta for the game mode and they had to make it ARURF and rebalance a bunch of champs making the crazy experience standardized and boring.

Too much of something is the same as not enough.

BUT WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO UPDATE ARCADE SONA

BushidoBlade12 votes

to be honest, that skin is top quality. Older skins, like Pentakill Sona, recieved a texture update because they looked severely dated. tbh an update for Arcade Sona would be cool but I kinda wish the theme for Pentakill skins was stronger with updated sound effects, especially for a music based character like Sona.

I kind of feel like they're just fishing for how much money we're willing to spend on the missions. I was cool with the basically $10 pass for the last one but I don't know about $20, seems a little steep.

On top of that you have 2 really big skin releases (Arcade and Star Guardian) within 2 weeks. I might be more willing to do the pay to play if there was 2 months between rather than 2 weeks.

A Liberal9 votes

Yeah I'm not buying because I feel like this is the same as the warring kingdoms event, testing how much people will spend with missions. The chaos/order passes were OK because they were fairly cheap and even if you didn't buy them you still had access to everything in the event. This event you can't get the special icon without spending 20+ dollars.

The other reason is because emotes ornn and SG soraka and ahri are all coming out in the same patch so uh I need to pass on this one

whats the problem? the skins you like are all still there (also new good ones) you are not obligated to buy any chests or spend any money. also you can get some chances to get skins without spending any money! stop your whining, honestly if you don't like it keep it to your self. riot is working hard to bring players chances like this for skins without money. your basically complaining about free stuff.

thanks for all you do riot and keep it up.

God Eater Kobra83 votes

Logged in to up vote this, you have a point and I love it ! and even if you do spend some extra rp you have chances for a lot of different loot material, ward skins etc. keep it up RITO !![zombie-nunu-hearts]

So being able to disenchant a Champion Shard for Blue Essence that you can use to upgrade your champions to level 6 or 7 is useless? And also, you can spend freely earned IP on Champion Shards, they're in the shop for 1700, so go spend away. Not everyone in this game is as far along as you are. You've capped off for champs and what not. Using chests is a gamble in the first place. Why would Riot, a company that has employees that they have to pay and want to still make a profit afterwards, make something for cheap, or free because of your unreasonable amount of IP, that can easily get you skins that normally cost money? It just doesn't make sense in any regard. If you're gonna complain about it because it's useless, just don't do it. You play this game on your own time

Houb5 votes

as someone who also owns all the champs i can see your point. But riot gave you a way to get all new champs for free on release through the chests.

not only that but a chance for some really nice skins. you are focusing only on the negative of a system that you cant take full advantage of. i have currently over 20 champion shards waiting for Ornn to release so i can reroll them to get him. otherwise i would have had to spend 7800 ip for him but now the worst case scenario is i have to spend 5800. so you have a ton of champ shards that are sitting waiting for you to use them on mastery ups or new champs. riot cares deeply about the customer base and is giving people everything they can afford to. this system is perfect for new players. for veterans of the game its just nice to get free stuff that wasnt free for many years

seanizL51 votes

I think there's a difference between not liking what you got for FREE cause it's "useless", and then complaining what you got for FREE and wanting something else. You ever been in costco? They give out free samples. If they were giving out a taste of cheese and I was lactose intolerant, should I be throwing a fit about how they should give me a free hotdog instead?!? NO! I just move on and look for the other samples lol

MiasmaDance16 votes

even without hextech crafting, you would still have a lot of ip, so i dont understand how your abundance of ip relates to hextech...

@Busty Demoness; So...your whole thing is about a sub 50% chance to get something that you can't use. I've go this right so far? Okay, good. So...you're complaining because YOU can't use something that literal MILLIONS of other people can use. Who the actual f*** do you think you are? The center of the universe? Why do you feel that Riot should change something that works for everyone else, just because it doesn't work for you? Riot is already GIVING you a chance to earn skins for free.

Removing the champ shards increases the amount of skins you get for free, which in turn forces them to lose more money. What makes you so damn important that you feel like they should ruin some of their profits, which in turn lowers the amount of money that they have for payroll?

What makes you so special that you can't be bothered to deal with champ shards like the rest of us? Why the h*** do you feel so damn entitled to a reward of some kind? You remember what we had before hextech? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. You remember how we got free skins? By way of Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube, as well as the old reference system (which didn't really work out), end-of-season rewards for gold+ players, and a few other outliers. How many skins is that total? Let's see....3 for social media(and youtube), 2 for references, UFO Corki for making account prior to Jan 2010, Triumphant Ryze tournament skin, King Rammus (CBT), Judgement Kayle, PAX TF/Jax/Sivir, Riot squad Singed, and Championship Riven. I may have missed a couple, but I don't think so.

That's a whopping 14. Out of hundreds. And you could only get some of them under special circumstances, and would have to have an account from CBT in order to possibly have all of them. Fourteen skins given away for free pre-Hextech. And now they give away hundreds upon hundreds. Some expensive, some cheap, but all still free. And you're complaining about getting some bad luck. Talk about a selfish, self-entitled, whiny brat.

@Busty Demoness The point of the game isn't to give you free shit, it's to allow you to have fun. The free shit is just a side bonus. Yes, it is a little useless if you own every champion and obtain a champion shard. That's what you get for grinding the shit out of everything with an MMO mindset and blowing through all the extra benefits of playing the game for the purpose of having fun. There's no point in complaining about getting free stuff you can't use because it's not hurting you, you're just being egocentric and demanding that you, part of "the 1%", get special attention seperate from the rest of us. I have been playing League since the first ranked season (2011) around the time Nocturne was released. You're completely right by saying that we cheer on Riot because it's free. Because we have no reason to complain because it's free. It's fucking free so we don't complain. There is no downside. Shut up and have fun with the game like you're supposed to and stop bitching about the small things you don't like.

UPDATE: the Dungeon Pass listing had a glitch and we had to blow on the cartridge to fix it. It should always have been 1495 RP (not 2600), and does not contain 4 great orbs.

(It actually was not a glitch. It was our mistake and we are sorry.)

Keep your eye on PBE updates to know when events like this are on the horizon. Or at least give it a gander right before blowing your points. =p

I'm so happy that most of the first comments to load are positive. Every time they release something they're are tons of people hating it despite that they have no real reason to. Also now we can have an all battle boss team boss with final boss Veigar.

Why is the arcade poro icon listed under the 'contains' and 'rewards' section of the Dungeon Pass?

'If you beat all these levels within the time limit (by 8/24/2017 23:59 PT), you’ll unlock a bonus level with secret icon reward...'

Does this just includes all the main missions or it includes all the 14 daily missions too ? .-.

RiotRiot Mortdog12 votes

This doesn't include the dailies. Just all 5 boss lines.

Oleandervine16 votes

You mean including the 3 locked behind a $25 price tag too?

BBQroo4 votes

So, Without spending money, you can only get 100 tickets? or will there be other (free) ways to get tickets? A good orb and some blue dust doesn't sound all that worth the effort.

RiotRiot Mortdog13 votes

200 Tickets total. 100 from Veigar line, and 100 from Blitz line :)

SiezmicJ2 votes

Is winning 3 games on summoners rift even possible in under 40 mins? even if a team surrendered at 15 each game, 3 games is 45 mins. Plus que time and champ select. each game would have to be ten minutes. I think brands start mission is almost impossible if arurf doesn't count

Unless you mean each game has to be won under that time limit.

So don't buy it... It's not greedy at all. I intend to not pay any money for this event, and yet I will still get free stuff. Nothing wrong with that at all. Enjoy the free stuff you get- don't complain about not getting more.

How is the New Hec skin actually achieved? is it a gem stone build or what?

RiotRiot Mortdog12 votes

You can get the New Hecarim skin for 10 Gemstones, or as a lucky drop inside of the Mega Orb.
