@Riot, have you considered making Skin Upgrades?
By "Skin Upgrades" I mean the option to "upgrade" a skin with either more particles, sound effects, voice overs, etc for the price of RP equal to the difference in skin tiers you would be moving to and from.
for example: 750-tier to 975-tier = +225 RP to upgrade 975-tier to 1350-tier = +375 RP to upgrade 1350-tier to 1850-tier = +470 RP to upgrade
The reason I ask this because, with all this hubbub over the Queen of Diamonds Syndra skin and how people feel it "could be so much more!"
, and how this was nearly the same reaction when the Inquisitor and Marauder skins released, as well as Heartseeker Annie, why not give players the option to choose to make it more?
Lets say Queen of Diamonds Syndra, as it is now, stayed at 750 RP. Thats fine. A solid "entry point" to the skin, if you will. But if players were willing to pay an extra 225/600 RP at a later time and make it a 975/1350-quality skin to get more, like say, added effects (octahedron-shaped 'orbs', different colored particles, new recall, maybe new VO), what would be the harm in that? (other than the obvious "more workload" and "not enough bandwidth", but it doesnt have to be that way for EVERY skin, thatd be crazy)
I don't know, maybe this is asking too much (likely), but I'm not suggesting EVERY 750 skin (let alone EVERY skin in general) be made available to "upgrade", just the ones that could potentially be "more". It could give people with leftover RP something to sink it into as well. :)
And yes, I would be willing to pay 225 RP for pink flames and a new recall for Heartseeker Annie.
