Championship Riven

Wamp··1 votes·1,049 views

I don't know if this is the right place to put this, but it ties in with champion/skin thing..

Just a question if there's any way possible you can get the skin.. I've heard it might be coming back in 2016, but not 100% sure. I really want the skin item 3073

NO. Stop re-releasing old LIMITED skins.

Learn to respect the fact that you had to be playing and willing to invest at the time the skin was released. Owning that skin represents that. Re-releasing it undermines that.

Fuck.

maybe u should learn to calm down and not be so mad over someone wanting to know if a skin will ever be rereleased. there is nothing wrong with wanting a skin and wondering if it will ever come back out. maybe they didnt know of league of legends at the time or couldnt afford the skin when it was out. i know i want reaper soraka to come back out one day, but that doesnt mean u need to drop ur shit all over the ground and be mad.

I was calm in this comment; if anything, you could refer to my other comment.

Are you shitting me? Now I'm no longer calm as I've just, very regrettably, read past "calm down".

"They didn't know LoL at the time" is my ENTIRE point. LoL wouldn't be here if it weren't for Beta Testers and people who played Season 1, 2, 3, etc. The players (you easily justify viewers now, too; though, knowing about the game is still a pre-requisite either way) from each previous season enabled the next one. I am asking you ("you" being used to represent anyone sharing your point of view) to respect "older" players and their privilege (and right) to any EXCLUSIVE and/or LIMITED skins that came out when they were playing and ready to invest in LoL.

How do you respect these players, you ask?

Let me tell you, again: Do not ask for skins to be re-released.

People were already very fortunate to have gotten the rights to LIMITED seasonal skins released in seasons 1 and 2 (I believe S3 was when it stopped being LIMITED, as the community had understood the term until then).

I know that LIMITED =/= Never released again. But you can ask anyone who was there in S1 and 2 if they thought that the skins would be re-released and you'll get a resounding "No".

Unfortunately (from my point of view) Riot was greedy and saw mucho $ dollar signs when, at least, half the community cried out for the old, LIMITED, skins. The voices of the "old" were drowned out, for the most part. Though, some "older" players did publicly agree to have them re-released. Were they truly satisfied with the (ugly, hardly noticeable, practically pointless) gold shade on the load screens as compensation*, or were they just seeking a top-rated comment on the comments section? We shall never know.

Final point about them being LIMITED: Many people thought that they would not be re-released. It helped market the skins. Had I know that Witch Nidalee was going to be re-released, I probably would not have bought it. However, I wanted to mark my presence in Season 1 (or 2; I forget which Season that skin belonged to originally...) so I purchased the skin as "proof" of that. Pretty cool proof too.

(Golden shade does not count as (enough) proof in my opinion. It's only, and barely, visible in Load Screens. Something people hardly pay attention to. I don't know about you, but when I buy a skin, I think about its in-game look, not its load screen appearance. Since, you know, 95% of the time I spend with the skin is, well, IN-GAME.)

*Yeah we also got refunded and an Icon (Yipee). I'd still prefer my skins to be exclusive, as would many others.

yea I ment to quote ur other one srry. Ik limited /should/ mean only for that time. when has riot never been greedy tbh, now seeing all these 1350 skin coming out of their asses like no tomorrow. im not saying riot should re-release champ riven to make the new players happy, but let them dream. it would be nice to see more champion rivens in the game, but its even cooler when u see her in game cus barely anyone has her, its like a reward or something. when i buy a skin i like both, but mostly the ingame. I would have never bought maid nidalee if i only cared about her appearance in loading screen. if they ever do happpen to rerelease riven which some rumors say they might in 2016 (doubtful tho) they should give bigger compensation. i mean i bought championship shyvana to hope one day she wont become available anymore.

Agreed on the 1350 part. It's getting a bit crazy. Not to mention that there's no defined line between what makes a 1350 skin worth that instead of 975. My case would be: Dragon Slayer Panth (1350) Vs Heart something Ashe (975).

As far as I can tell, they both have similar modifications, yet have 2 very different prices.

As to where you should be placing this thread: that'd be up your ass to never be released again.
