Skins are getting really expensive...

It seems like they've reached a new height of price changes. I remember when 975 used to be the norm of skin costs, but now it seems like riot believes that they should be 1350.

I don't really understand why this is happening. Ya, the quality has gone up; however, this is something that should be expected considering Esports and how there should be a natural progression of ability as time goes on. Also, it may be true that we can get them for free, but that is entirely rng based.

with rp costing 1380 rp for each 10$, I'm less likely to keep spending money on the game. What's the point if I only get 1-2 skins for ever 20$? Even with sales, you have to wait a whole year for the skin you want. Not sure if i wanna keep doing this, or wait around long enough to get something I want.

That's kinda the idea. There was barely a difference between 975 and 1350 skins anyway, so because quality has gone up, they charge a more premium price tag. You would have to buy $10 of RP anyway no matter what skin price you got, so that amount is locked in. So then if someone wants to get more than one skin, they might decided to skip over $20 because it's good for just 2 skins, and maybe $35 or more.

Indeed, I will remember when I bought Haunting Nocturne, when it was new for only 520 rp, and it have more special particles then 1350 skins now days.
