Medieval Twitch Being Re-Obtainable...

JRZE··8 votes·1,317 views
  • So with the new honor system if I read correctly, if players hit level 5 honor they will receive rewards that can unlock them Medieval twitch and grey Warwick. With this being said, I being a twitch player, love the medieval skin and was really excited to have earned this skin when it was available. League of Legends got rid of the refer-a-friend system thus making these skins unobtainable forever (at least that's what I thought) making my favorite skin rare. with the new honor system implemented the skin will become less special to me because of its attainability now. I would like to see if this can get enough attention do to something special with these skins that show that we got them from the old refer-a-friend, and not through honor, like what they did when they made championship riven purchasable for the second time by giving the original holders of the skin a crown and original skin name. maybe give them a special boarder or give the new skins a different name like "Medieval Twitch 2017". Please let me know your guys' thoughts. Thanks for your time and consideration. - JHRZy

So you want everyone to know you got a skin through smurf abuse and/or botting?

Little uncalled for there. There are people who got that skin legitimately. :)

Sure there were people who did. But you got the skin. You don't deserve anything else for doing what you were supposed to.

It's like how when people ask for a reward for being nice, it's pathetic. Your reward is being a decent human being and not having people hate you. You don't go up to someone and say "I didn't spit on you. Give me something"

You referred a tonne of people to the game. Your reward IS THE SKIN. You don't deserve jack for not being a scumbag when you did.

...sure? As I said, I don't really have an opinion other than "I wouldn't mind if they gave a special name to the skin of those who had it before" That comment about it being legitimate was just in regards to the apparent assumption that the OP got it through smurfing.

I commented in regards to the fact you shouldn't encourage people into being spoilt brats when they sure as hell don't deserve anything.

It encourages selfishness and the mentality that "If I whine enough I'll get my way" which is the last thing Riot should ever fall into.

The people who have this skin really don't deserve anything more then what it currently has.

I don't see a problem with this. Given that the skin was NOT specifically called out as an unobtainable skin though (Championship Riven was mentioned as being limited time, if I recall correctly), I think something like the name would be a better change.

That said, I can see an argument for not doing this though, as a lot of the time the refer-a-friend program ended up simply being bot account or similar non-meaningful players. Hence why I'd opt for the name change if anything -- it keeps the original intact, without making it TOO special.

Yeah I agree something not "TOO special". Something for those who actually worked hard to get friends to start playing the game, even more, getting those accounts to level 10. I really think a name change would not be too hard and would do the justice. Thanks Djinn [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

The skin was acquired by most by abusing a flawed system. There's no reason for this skin to be thought of as "Special" when in the end nothing special was done to acquire it. 90% of people who have the skin got it illegitimately, sure it sucks if you did get it legitimately and you get lumped into the crowd.

But you got the skin, you don't deserve anything else for doing what you were supposed to. It's like how when people ask for a reward for being nice.

But the reality is, you have the skin, people who got it before the system shut down got a legacy border, and going on further about it is just immature. Next people will start whining about Legacy skins coming back and them not feeling "as special".

The reality is that you're not the only one who may want the skin, and wanting to be a special snowflake about having it before others is nothing to be proud of.

but for those who actually put in the work of referring a couple of friends and working through games to make sure they all hit level 10 was a struggle and so that for the ones who did get this skin legitimately can have some flair to show off hard work. maybe just a little name tweak or loading boarder. Not everyone abused the system. I could also argue just because people people got the season 2 riven skin, it make them special? Like "woah they made a micro transaction on a skin in season 2 they should get rewarded for that." practically same argument, but she got tweaks for her re-appearance in the shop. it shows dedication to the game maybe not years of experience, but some peoples hard work referring friends and help them level, or grinding 5 smurf accounts to level 10 was still a pain without runes and masteries and that is another form of dedication to the game in some way which is why I thought that way when they were re-making these skins re-obtainable. No need for the aggressiveness.

The massive difference between Championship Riven and Medieval Twitch was that Championship Riven was released as a 'Limited Edition' skin that would NEVER come back. It however, did. Hence the compensation to people who bought it when it was listed as 'Limited Edition'

Medieval Twitch was released as a skin that you received through the refer-a-friend program but Riot never promised it wouldn't come back in a different form when the system was shutdown.

The difference is that Riot said one thing about Championship Riven and then went back on what they said. They however never did such a thing with Medieval Twitch. They just made the skin hard to get.

In my Opinion People who get these skins Now should get rewarded with a special Border more than people who did the Refer-a-Friend thing years ago. Just make 5 new accounts and level them to level 10 isn't as hard and doesn't take as long as level up to Honor level 3/4/5 and then need to have enough luck to get them out of these Honor Capsules.

Isn't there a legacy border already in place for the skin?

I agree with you 100% actually, their are multiple skins that will nvr be available again lets leave it that way. I mean their not gonna bring back alistar and ryze skins that are considered the rarest skins out their today because they were only available via pre order and store purchase only when the game first came out. twitch and warwick are both extremely rare skins as well and should receive the same treatment. If they insist on doing something like this they should be available at a lower rate and only be till preseason that would atleast reduce the amount of people that can get it thus leaving it on the rare side or they coulda pulled a riven and just changed the skin for rerelease. Either way I get where your coming from and I didn't even earn these skins back then.
