Renting a Skin with the New Loot System

Hey guys the name's Murgurth and I've been playing League for the past 5 years or so. I figured I'd pitch in with the new Hextech Loot System Riot just added to the League Client. I think it's actually pretty cool they're giving us a way to obtain skins and such for free by playing the game. Although the one issue I have is that the in-game client didn't really specify the finer details of renting a skin. I had thought that maybe the after the rental period you would have the option to permanently unlock the skin and after checking online because I was curious I was kind of bummed to not see any note of that. So I actually got a pretty cool skin, Bloodmoon Yasuo and I just wanted to try out the skin and then perhaps unlock it. I was just going try it out after a game or two and see if it was worth unlocking. Perhaps this could be an option? I mean I definitely have the essence still, you could probably just bump up the required essence after the renting process. I don't necessarily expect a re-do on my renting, even though I would definitely want one, it was a mistake on my part. But I would definitely wish to keep the Bloodmoon Yasuo skin. I wouldn't mind handing over more essence, I've just already bought a lot of RP this past Holiday season and would just rather not deal any more money at the moment. Anyway I hope I can get some input on this if possible. I'm still glad we got this new system. Just wish the In-Game Client was a bit more specific on the renting part. See you guys on the Rift!

If unlocking the skin after renting it is already an option I obviously didn't know given my current post. If so, feel free to ignore the post.

Yes, but they won't do it. Thats the whole point of renting. even though you are spending more, that isnt 'real' money.

Yea I think they should be more clear on the whole rental skin thing I got head hunter nidalee and was hoping i could unlock it permanently after trying it out a bit. But I guess I shouldn't have expected to be able to unlock it permanently tbh.item 3070

Yeah I only ever buy skins I actually want, so losing the Yasuo skin isn't too harsh, but I'm sure many other players are probably unclear on the renting thing. Hopefully they update it for future players.

i had hextech annie rent it thinking the same rip, thought that was the whole point of "trial" you know when you go to the library for a book and then when you're done you give it back ? well seems like this wasnt the case. Needs to be clarified. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

I didn't realize the rental was not a trial period and therefore wanted to try it out before I bought it... I would have bought it if it was more clear

Riot should have really clarified... I just wasted an infernal Nasus card thinking I could try it out and then perma-buy it after.
