Why do the SSW skins cost different amounts?

I find it incredibly confusing that SSW Twitch and Thresh are 975 while the other three skins are only 750. I'm aware that those two skins have things that the other two do not have (recall animations) but why are those recall animations necessary to make the whole 'SSW fantasy'? Like, why the recall on Twitch? Are SSW known for rolling around on the grass?

Maybe it's just me desiring the entire skin line to be even but it's still weird.

Watch that for a minute to see why Twitch does that. Unique recalls take more effort to make so are part of the higher tier of skins.

It is a bit ridiculous to just make two of the skins better. I mean, I could understand Mata's because he was made MVP, but they didn't even make Thresh red. :/

Samsung Red or Riot?

Ah, that explains it. I don't pay much attention to pro play.

Still, really weird to have 2 that are randomly better. I understand them wanting to make Twitch do that, but couldn't they come up with recall animations for the other 3 so they could match up?

I didn't know about it either, the link was in the article on the front page.

They have a goal of a certain percentage of each skin price tier. Making two of those the 1350 tier (which includes new recalls) might have simply fell into their time budget.
