Seriously.. this is ridiculous, and everyone knows it.

But... but... new sounds! Wow.

I can go to any website and download a free to use .WAV file too.

3 skins for 1350, just wow. Are we ever going to get to a point in time where 975 skins outnumber 1350 skins again? Technology is improving, Riot is growing, there's no excuse for overpricing the skins that should be setting the bar for 975.

Hey Treasure Goblin,

Please keep in mind that any 1350 RP skin is 975 RP at launch.

and the 3 1350 skins on the PBE right now, and one of them is 975... good way to fail and try to hide it lol.

9 1350, 6 750

thank you thank you, upboats now plz

lightdragoon8811 votes

Dude...those aren't even out yet. You said to count the ones that have been released and I did.

And what the heck is an upboat?

Jeddy0171 votes

I think he meant upvote.

lightdragoon881 votes

I kind of figured...but the only letter he got right out of that was the o. I guess the t as well but it is in the wrong place.

Scrimshäw1 votes

i absolutely meant upboat

Scrimshäw1 votes

bro, gift me omega squad teemo and debonair galio right now

lightdragoon885 votes

Nope...

Scrimshäw1 votes

because they're not out yet.. .whoa.

lightdragoon886 votes

No because one has to be in the other friends list at least 2 weeks before one can gift the other.

Even if I wanted to, and I don't, I can't gift you "right now" but rather "2 weeks from now"

And besides, they are out. Not available to buy yet, but they are released with this patch.

Sooo...anything else you wish to challenge me with?

Scrimshäw1 votes

they are not out. the patch notes clearly state "various times throughout this patch"

they are not out

their splash arts are

lightdragoon887 votes

Again, while they are not available to buy yet, they are in the live servers now.

Thus, they counted.

But if you don't want to count those then tally will be:

750 at 5

975 at 5

1350 at 5

Look at that...all 3 are even now. Still beat your thoughts of "pretty sure twice as many 1350 skins have come out this year as 750 and 975 combined"

The recent Debonair Vi & Ezreal has no new particles besides the good looks compared to the current 1350 Rp skins in PBE, so wth you talking about?

Solidair311 votes

considering the number of 750 RP skins we've been getting lately, it's nice to see more higher tier skins.

Plus they'll be discounted as katey said

GaleWinUnleashed4 votes

Have you not noticed the massive number of 750 skins recently? If they're aiming to release a number of skins at each price tier, it makes sense that a wave of one tier would be followed by a wave of another, in order to balance it out a bit.

ULTRAF0RCE2 votes

Just a reminder, sweetheart annie, marauder ashe and Debonair Galio were all 750 skins that people complained were not given special particles, so to deal with that here are some skins with all of those little bells and whistles you wanted, wait people are complaining again, and logic would not help riot understand why that is because you have not given a good reason for why the skins should be 1350 except that you can ilegally modify your game to get the same effect as 1350 skins.

4 skins are on there and only 3 are 1350 XD

Besides, back in 2013 or whenever they made the skin tier updated chart they said we'd being to see quite a bit more of the 1350s, so they are getting there. They had to fill up the 750s first and now it's time to give us some more 1350s. All 3 of the 1350s on there right now are awesome though and I can see why they are priced at that. They all deserve to be that.

For how great these skins look, I think it's a fair price.

You're a fucking retard kid, I've spent exactly $980 on this game

Colgate Gator1 votes

Don't be such a cheapskate.

If I must be honest, I prefer a 1350RP skin way more than a half-assed 750RP one, besides, these skins are always at 975RP at launch, so, yeah.

Scrimshäw1 votes

I've fucking spent 980 dollars on this game, I'm not being cheap, if anything, I have only myself to blame because I fucking buy almost every 1350 skin when they come out.

Well, if you are buying them the moment they come out, you're buying them at 975RP which is what you're arguing in the first place, so not sure what more you want.

It has always been the norm that skins that change both the model and particles are 1350RP tier, in fact, most skins now that only change the model are 750 instead of 975. ALso there are always skins that go on sale.

If you think they are overpriced, no matter if they're always discounted at the moment of release, save for the 750/975 RP tier (I think), you're always free to not buy them.

Your screaming ignorance is showing.

First of all, congratulations on missing the surprising number of quality 750 skins that have come out lately, or the fact that the quality level on 975's has continued to increase as time goes on.

Also, with a post like this I have to assume you don't know how anything works, so I'll tell you that all 1350 skins are 975 for the first four days they're available. I've never paid 1350 for a skin, and I have looots of them.

Oh no three 1350's grouped together, I guess that means it's nothing but 1350 from here on out. Except that three 1350's and a legendary in a row have already happened and that was before Riot started hitting all three price points. (Back then 750 was mostly reserved for the shared splash team skins that you'd buy in a bundle anyway.)

If every part of Riot was as competent as the ecommerce team this really would be the best game ever made. :p There's soooo much other shit you could be bitching about, why not focus on an actual problem? ~Uiru

This is hilarious, a perfect example of the League community... Riot makes several 975 and 750 skins, people complain that they want them to be higher priced so they can have new particles. Riot makes several 1350 with new particles and someone complains they are not making 975 and 750 skins...

Riot releases 750 skins: "Wtf Riot?! Why are you so cheap?! You won't put any work into these skins!"

Riot releases 1350+ skins: "Wtf Riot?! You only care about our money! Stop ripping us off!"
