Chroma skin price

So I'm awfully confused about the outlandish prices of chroma packs. You guys end up reaching prices of 2150 RP which seems very pricey. I used to work on recoloration with Super Smash Bros Homebrew and it wasn't a lot of work to recolor. I understand that Riot in the end a business and i'm not trying discredit any of the work that goes into making skins, animations, VFX, and maybe i'm just jumping the gun and you guys do put a lot of work into the recolorations. Riot grossed around 1 billion dollars last year and It just doesn't seem fair to be asking for that much money for recoloration. Any B-grade animator knows recoloration isn't terribly work intensive and it feels like the community might be being taken advantage of. And I get that it's supposed to be like 3 skins in a pack but Whenever new skins come out nowadays they have different VFX or sounds or amazing textures but these are just recolors.

True. Here in Canada we actually have to buy 10$ of RP to get 1 chroma pack. Its ridiculous.

Because the Chroma packs also include the champion and the base skin (if it isn't their default) along with the Chromas in the bundle? The reason Tristana's Punk Chroma is so much is because it includes her, her Rocket Girl skin, and the 3 recolors. If you own Trist and her Punk skin, the bundle is cheaper. I own Morgana and her Chroma pack is only 590 for me, which isn't that back imo.
