If you release Victorious Skins from past seasons to be sold, I'll lose all respect for you

ChoGathsSon··12 votes·2,332 views

Because what's the point of having ranked rewards now outside of a border and a cheesey ass forum badge that continues to look shittier after each season?

Those skins were given to those who could reach a certain elo and you're going to back on that now because bronze and silver player's feelings are hurt? I didn't play season 1, so I had no way to get Victorious J4, I was bronze s2 so i don't deserve victorious Janna, and I was plat s3, Diamond s4. Even if you used a restriction or requirement of being a certain elo to purchase them, you're doing a disservice to the concept of those past seasons as it represents longevity in a game that continues to change. And it all but kills the exclusive feel to the skins.

Please, for the sake of respect to those who actually grinded out those games and had the ability to achieve a certain elo, don't do this.

Even though ICARSONW is an asshole, I agree with him. You didn't earn it, you shouldn't get it now. I can't win an 84 Olympics gold medal just because I won the same event 4 years later... Rewards should stay rewards... period.

No, but you can purchase them if they are put up for sale by the winner/their family if they're deceased.

Want to know what this reminds me of?

people begging lyte to start punishing more players.

"What the fuck are you talking about this has nothing to do with the punishment system."

Lets do a comparison

Lyte wants to make a place where everybody is kind to eachother and being "toxic" isn't allowed. VS Riot decides to make skins that use to be only attainable by performing well in ranked available to everyone.

Lyte boasts that he knows what causes "toxicity" What do a large portion of the people in this game do when it comes to ranked? get to a elo where they can trash talk people and flaunt around their ranked rewards. What is riot doing? making ranked rewards available to everyone.

You people have done this to yourself.

My personal thought: Victorious skins should remain a Gold+ reward, but you get to pick between any of the Victorious skins as your reward. That way the hypothetical Jarvan 4 main that started this season and makes Diamond 1 can get Victorious Jarvan and wear it with pride, instead of getting Victorious Mundo because that's the champion that happened to get the skin this year and never using it outside of the rare ARAM game.

The Victorious Mundo is hypothetical right. :')

Yes, completely. Although it does make one wonder...

Because some of us dont have time to play a whole bunch of Rank games, there are real life problems that are much more important than playing a game, but we can still enjoy buying items for this game! it has nothing to do with "getting good" at the game!

and you still can buy items for the game, but the victorious skin line is for the people that spent the time and effort to earn them, go buy any other skin for any other champ, but if you want a victorious skin, youd better be willing to put time into earning it

But youll get other rewards as well? I think it would be a great move especially when they did Elise. it wasnt fair that her first skin out of her launch was the Victorious Skin, so that leaves a longer time for people who wanted a new skin for her. In my opinion they should at least give it to season 1 and 2 rewards because of how long its been. Plus when there is a champion rework (whether visual or otherwise) it could change the opinions of others who might have wanted the skin.

I mean its the same thing with the whole Limited Edition skin becoming legacy skins. its just special snowflake who feel the need to have things people cannot get just because! its not right, and i dont see what the big deal is. For one you guys are getting the skin (and champion if you dont already own it) for free while others have to pay, youll get a special border (along with your rank border) and special icon (along with your rank icon) plus there is talk about giving out exclusive Cromas that you can only get through the Rank rerwards!

bwahahahahahahahahahaha

yeah sure bud, gotta love those fucking chromas. We're not special snowflakes for wanting something that we ACHIEVED.

If you want the skins so badly, why not fucking get good?

Because the skin represents what you spent time doing each season, specifically in ranked. The rewards are supposed to be exclusive that people who couldn't reach that elo or flat out refused to play ranked couldn't obtain. So what next? Are you going to start selling the championship trophy from season's past because people wanted it? It doesn't matter what the circumstances are behind the champions, these are intended for people who reached a certain level as a goal. You're basically doing a disservice to every single player from seasons 1-4 who got at least gold.

Riot gets plenty of money from other content, they don't need to do this.

And yet Riot felt the need to ask others in a survey because people want it. This is just like with the Limited Edition skins. "You werent here when they were giving them out so you dont deserve it" its pretty childish to have that type of mentality! Plus its not like you guys are losing anything, you guys are getting it for free! other will probably have to pay probably the price of the Ultimate skins (because of the whole rank thing) so even with that i doubt many people will buy it. And again this is only a survey its not like everything is set in stone. they want to see what the community sees about this, and will go through if the community sees fit! Again its the same with the Limited Edition skins. People were highly against that for pretty dumb reasons, and yet Riot still released it and the community was ok with it.

It doesn't matter, riot is stupid if they do this. The NBA doesn't put out a survey saying "hey fans, would you guys like official 2014 NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs rings?" It's not about what people want, these skins are intended as an award for people who earned a certain elo in ranked play. Whether you have time or not to play isn't relevant, that wasn't the basis for making the skin. There's plenty of other content available for every champions, why players who didn't earn those skins in ranked play because they're bad or didn't have time feel like "they deserve" an opportunity to purchase it is irrelevant. This shouldn't be considered.

theres also a difference with a skin that was limited by time but was still purchasable by anyone when they were released, whereas the victorious line is specifically for people that earned it and was not available to anyone else

Onegarion1 votes

Actually its not the same. The limited skins were always available to everyone and you didn't have to do anything to get them, but spend money. The ranked rewards skins were earned by the players who put the time and effort into it. There never was a way to obtain them otherwise. You could never buy those skins even in the past.

My first season was s3 and I ended in silver just missing out on the elise skin. Do I wish I could have it, yes, but I also didn't deserve it because I wasn't in gold back then. I'm big on the old things from earlier seasons. If I played from day 1 or in the first season I would sport whatever ranked icon I got because it shows how long you've been here. It shows that you earned those things that were never purchasable and you deserved them.

So it was a Survey? They are just gauging what people MIGHT think of the idea. It doesn't mean it WILL happen.

out of curosity, is this something they plan on doing or just something the community wants? i couldn't imagine them putting the victorious skins for sale but i could be wrong.

Free exclusive early access to skins is pretty awesome IMO.

Starkiller X511 votes

where is the survey anyway?

Xx420n0sc0p3sxX1 votes

This is dumb. I have 3 ranked games, provisionals, since my internet is a bit too sketchy to play ranked, and I shouldn't be able to get a skin cause I have $$$. If this goes through, they aren't "Victorious" skins, just kinda...normal skins.

The problem with this entire situation isn't whether or not you should earn it. Its whether or not they can make a quick buck off of it. it also benefits the employee who suggested it because now they can tell their boss that they increased company revenue with their revolutionary idea. It will help them greatly with their performance review.

S2C2Xd9KOy1 votes

Where does it say anything about releasing them? As much as it would be cool to have them, I didnt play the last seasons and therefore I didnt earn them. I like exclusivity. This might be biased slightly considering I will be getting the victorious skin this season, but even if I weren't, I still think I would rather have them exclusive for the people who actually earned them.
