I think It'd be a great idea. And it's not like gonna be everyday. So it's not THAT BAD. Sure, It's pretty stupid, but it's okay because it's only every 4 months?

No, they cannot. And if you think it's "pretty stupid", then why do it at all? Riot sells skins and champions to keep the servers up, to pay employees, to generally make money instead of losing it.
You wouldn't just be tossing product out at a 90%+ discount, product that is not easily replaceable and is hard to resell that you would dumping out for mere Quarters, but you would also be heavily dissuading people from ever buying it outside of that sale.
ItsNotCola1 votesYou're right, actually, I thought it would be a fun idea. Maybe not 100 RP. 400-500. Once a year. But yeah, I see where you're coming from.
Sona Ping1 votesThe thing is, Riot does have those things like, "fun" pricing for the players and semi-annual sales. There are high tier skins that are on permanent discount. There has been a beginning of season BE sale on champions before and the semi-annual Essence Emporium where Chromas as well as specific skins, icons, wards, and emotes are sold for only Blue Essence. Riot does do things like these, but these offers, events have to be designed for it, it can be generally done like you are suggesting. Just saying in case you are interested.
I love cowboys2 votesI wish Hershey's had a day where they gave me free chocolate tbh.
DuskDaUmbreon1 votesEvery day or every 4 months is basically the same thing - you just buy a ton of skins for practically nothing.
ItsNotCola1 votesYou know Dusk your right. But i'm just saying like, Once a year, Or like twice a year. If it was everyday, THEN i'd be an idiot. But like, Once a year isn't THAT BAD. The idea in general may just be stupid. I think it'd be a good idea though.
ChaosReyn1 votesHonestly, I'd direct this question more to the client discussion board next time, but the main issue with your point is that in a way, they already do. When the "your shop" pops up with those 6 unique-to-you sales, they're offering you heavy discounts on no less than 2 of them, regular discounts on 2 others that aren't already discounted in their store, and (usually) 2 discounts on legacy content that won't even be in the store. This can also bundle champions you don't own yet, that Riot feels are similar in playstyle to your other most played champs. And these sales, coincidentally, are usually about every 4 months.
Asking for something that ludicrously cheap is a little much...it would hurt the overall state of the game in the long run. After all, the purchase of RP is an active investment in an otherwise free-to-play game.
Deliberate Inter1 votesYIkes! Rito would lose money doing this
