Should be awarded to players who play these champs frequently

that is genius Heimerdinger especially since u work so hard to get your champ to level 5

CallkaJun 30, 2015101 votes

Or purchasable for IP. The low effort put into these isn't worth the RP.

nonamewarriorJun 30, 201532 votes

Yeah, I'd rather buy 390 Assassin Yi than 1565 Chroma Headhunter Yi

QuortJun 30, 20154 votes

Chromas only cost 590. The other 975 is the cost of the skin itself.

nonamewarriorJun 30, 20152 votes

I know, and if I don't have the skin, I'd be wasting a lot more money than I should.

Guys you need to realize that Riot Games is a business, and LoL raises them money to make them a living. So if u don't want to pay for a chroma pack, dont buy it instead of complaining to Riot just because you think something is "overpriced".

Blizzard is a company trying to make money too, but in Heroes of the Storm you can earn character colorization options just by playing them. Riot could easily do the same thing, and it would probably actually attract more players to the game, earning them more money than they would if they charged RP for the chroma packs.

BenioninJun 30, 201520 votes

Okay, maybe Blizzard isn't the best example because of how huge of a company it is (although last I checked Riot was in no danger of going underwater). Perhaps there's a smaller, just as new Moba made by a smaller company that we can use. You know, like Smite. A game that offers it's lowest tier skins (recolors) for both favor and gems, offers mastery based recolors for both favor and gems, and runs promotions that let players earn gems (from either logging in 7 days in a row or from special events like one this weekend where you got gems for each first win of the day). So here we are, playing League, and Riot announces a series of "chroma" packs, which are glorified recolors. People look at these skins, look at other skins they put money into, and don't feel that it's comparable. They suggest tying into mastery or offering for ip. Whatever, right? People defending Riot claim that Riot's a business that needs to stay afloat, which really will only get you so far. Honestly, I would love for there to be a way to earn chroma packs, because I'm not interested in buying them. But I think one thing we can keep in mind is that you're getting three skins in one here (kinda 4, if you count the default). And while the skins don't look like they took a lot of effort, they probably took at least some effort. 590 RP for three low-level skins is probably a decent deal (that's what, 197 a skin?). Not bad. Not great, but not entirely ridiculous. Are chroma packs worth as much as normal skins? Not even Riot thinks that. Is it worth 590 RP to get 3 skins for a single champion? Well, that's up to the players. For me, no. For you, maybe. Would it be awesome of Riot to allow us to earn these skins? Absolutely. But it's ultimately up to them if they want to.

Rito pls we have been asking for chromas when you get to lvl 5 since chromas came out

GenghisEmoJun 30, 20156 votes

i agree, the chromas need to be free... but i can compromise and have them cost IP.

epee11cJul 1, 20153 votes

Or how about this. They do them as individual skins of which you get one for free, or access to one for a little IP, upon mastering a champ (preferably of your choice). If you want the other ones after that you have to buy them for 300 rp a piece or something similar. Easy way to please people a little while still making money off them. Way more money than they cost.

Cant wait to play my new piss colored Zac.

TheBeardedFoolJun 30, 20159 votes

Looks like you need to drink more water.

BizarreKoopaJun 30, 20159 votes

Will Zac turn clear if he does?

Pool Party Zac!

Faffy ToastJun 30, 201535 votes

Majin Zac has arrived!!!

Grusum GorilaJun 30, 201513 votes

Then Heimerdinger should get a Babidi skin now :D

coeurloyalJun 30, 201514 votes

We also need a Super Saiyan Ezreal... Kamehameha ult!

ChaosVoltJul 1, 20152 votes

Nah nah, Super Saiyan LUX.

Mr RiosJun 30, 20159 votes

Lmao. Best comment.

Zac Majin Buuuuuuuuu!

Get PhatJun 30, 201520 votes

So they have yellow and orange. they are the same, sorry rito, you screwed up. A person with one color, and you fail.

Captain QwertJun 30, 201518 votes

Believe it or not Riot has put a lot of work into making some new Zac content. With his emotes and animations he is very difficult to texture. As he blobs himself lots of work has to go into the shading and everything. Personally I would have liked a larger difference between the colours but don't say Riot failed. They have listened to the community and made more skins and chroma packs.

Titan SenpaiJun 30, 20159 votes

As a 3D modeller myself, Zac is the easiest champion to recolor as it's just the same texture pasted on everything, and his mouth isn't even changed. The emotes and animations are the same way, 3D isn't recolored the same way as your archaic 2D process that you're used to.

Just shining some summoner 13 on the situation.

KilloFTBJun 30, 20152 votes

They were suppose to have a black Zac chroma color what happen to that?

Masked LunaticJun 30, 20153 votes

It was an accidental release on pbe. They removed it saying that it caused readability issues when zac would walk out from the fog of war (due to it being full black).

HikuJun 30, 20156 votes

Idk what else they could have done Lets check the colors right quick. Red, Orange, Yellow, Blue, Green, Purple, Pink....

Red: Would have looked like blood, not very appropriate Orange: Croma Yellow: Croma Blue: Pool party skin everyone was dying for Green: based skin Purple: Special Weapon Zac Pink: Croma

... So tell me again how riot screwed up?

CriscoWildJun 30, 201514 votes

Vladimir God forbid we see any blood in this game. Not sure how anybody could handle it.

DrakegaurdJun 30, 201511 votes

Darius I agree. Blood and gore would just ruin the game.

KiteyJun 30, 20153 votes

How is blood not very appropriate in league of legends Vladimir I believe both Katarina and Talon have blood animations on dots and Vlad turns into a giant pool of blood so how is having a giant blood jelly monster inappropriate in the least? in a game where you're stabbing, poisoning, burning, electrocuting, blowing up and even drowning people in this game with skills honestly...

if you're proving anything it's that Riot screwed up with not being at all creative with any of Zac's current skins, pool party at least they added some creative aspects with the shorts and goggles that make it worth more than just a chroma but honestly it's just a blue recolour for the most part.. how hard is it to make anything with a mushy consistency into an actually good Zac skin? then again that would require more effort than just recoloring something that's already been made so..

ItzOvr9000Jun 30, 201514 votes

I'm highly disappointed in the Zac Chroma pack containing yellow, pink, and.... darker shade of yellow. Completly missed opportunity for a red Zac that looks like Blood. Or a Black Zac that looks like Tar. OR a brown Zac that could be a swamp monster!

RueianJun 30, 20156 votes

I think they mentioned not wanting a black for clarity reasons.

coeurloyalJun 30, 20155 votes

I'm sure Brown causes much of the same clarity issues... especially on Crystal Scar. White would have been cool... but maybe later for a Harrowing or Snowdown skin.

UsualPaperJun 30, 20153 votes

Maybe there is no red because they are saving that for a "Crimson Lord Zac " Skin or something... Just speculating..

TheTopAroundHereJun 30, 201513 votes

Change the orange Zac to red and we have a deal

KajitheninjaJun 30, 201510 votes

i think the orange looks better than the yellow, but i do agree that one needs to be red

redman4657Jun 30, 20158 votes

I have been waiting for a red Zac since he came out (and not just because of my name).

MaskedPhatom39Jun 30, 20156 votes

You want a Period Zac?

NecrosSkyaJun 30, 20152 votes

Just like red Blitzcrank

kusagari77Jun 30, 20159 votes

Finally, after this long they were able to make Zac a different color :D and then made two of them about the exact same...

UsualPaperJun 30, 20156 votes

What about Star guardian Lux ?

MuseMeJun 30, 20155 votes

I can see chroma packs being totally awesome in the future.

mastervbladeJun 30, 20155 votes

If a player reaches a level 5 mastery with a champion then I believe they should be awarded a chroma pack for any skins they have, and if they do not have skins they should be awarded a skin for that champion. Not all people want to spend money on the game, and if they put in the time to make level 5 with one champion then they should get a skin or a chroma pack. :) I hope Riot notices or possibly considers this.

TheCareTakerBardJun 30, 20154 votes

I thought Bard also got a chroma pack

NinjaNobodyJun 30, 20154 votes

Why the pink Tristana ? Everyone should have rocket girl ... I mean come on its a free skin. Should of done blond hair so when someone rocket jumps wrong or ults someone away we can say "Stop being a blond " Lol.
