3 Chromas for 590 RP would be justified if Champions were free

975+975+590 total to buy Lee Sin + Lee Sin Skin + Lee Sin Skin Chromas 975+590 total to buy Lucian + Lucian Chromas

If every champion had multiple Chromas and were free this would allow Riot to still make money related to Champions and also make it so they don't have to charge us for them.

I understand they need to make money but charging us for a playable character + a colored option + a skin + another colored option seems SUPER GREEDY imo.

I'd say the person demanding they do work for free is the greedy one...

I really doubt just recoloring something is work that is worth 2-5 dollars

They come in packs of 3 precisely because of that. Did you read their statement on it?

The Chroma pack comes with the champion, or did someone not read the info? :P

Where did you read that? I didn't see that nor did anyone on reddit. That actually sounds reasonable.

A chroma pack includes three chromas that modify either a champion’s base or one of their skins. Each of these initial packs will be 590 RP, and if you need the champion or skin, they’ll be included in the bundle price you see in the store. Once you’ve unlocked a chroma pack in the bundles tab of the store, the chromas appear during champion select under the skins tab linked to the base champion or skin.

IN THE BUNDLE PRICE

So if you arent purchasing them in the store and already own the champion you are fucked and get nothing until you throw more pointless money at Riot

Say what? Everything is bought through the store. Even if you go to a champion profile the interface goes back through the store to unlock the content.

And eh... doesn't really matter, I for one own all champions so, could careless about that part, however it's 3 skins for 590 that's pretty good overall for what you are getting if you already own the champion. Plus this is only the intial run of the idea, they may move it over to IP, they may have them unlock-able through the champion mastery system... there's still tons of options they are open for.
