Lowering the price of very old skins reds please read and respond !!

Liquid Dario··1 votes·561 views

Why are soo many skins that are like 2+ years old still the exact same price as they were 2+ years ago. I mean its unrealistic to expect players to pay the same price 2 years later.

For example Battlecast Cho Gath is 1820 RP ! still like 2+ years after being released. Never once being even on sale let alone being the same price 2 years later. I want to purchase that skin I really do but almost 20$ for a skin that is very old. Even if it went on sale for 1350 I would buy it at that point but 1820 rp is just very high for a skin that old.

Even if I were to wait for your promotion jan 12th and get the extra rp 20$ still wouldnt be enough to buy Battlecast Cho Gath and a 1350 rp skin. I would still be 200 rp short.

I would understand if ppl were asking to drop the price on something like infernal nasus as he didnt come out that long ago ppl prolly still feel hes worth 1820 rp but a skin thats been out for as long as cho gath's no longer feels worth that kind of investment.

Please lower the pricing on very old skins so that they are still inticing for us to buy. Alongside the new skins that are released.

Please other players feel free to chime in on how you feel about old skins and if they should be lowered or not maybe the devs will hear us and be able to change the pricing structure of very old skins.

battlecast chogath is a legendary skin, these skins are price protected and thus never go on sale, if they ever put it on sale, they have to refund the difference to everyone who already purchased the skin

Where did the developers ever say that ? Its not an ultimate skin ... just because a legendary was worth 1820 3 years ago when they bought it doesnt mean it shouldnt go on sale 3 years later for a cheaper price.

That is like saying well, Nintendo cant drop their system prices because ppl bought it 3 years ago.... it makes no sense both economically and financially.

Of course they should go on sale that doesn't lower the value for the players who bought it back when it was a premium brand new skin.

I understand that with ULTIMATE SKINS you wouldn't lower the price due to all the extra effects and things that go into such a skin but were not talking about the best skins in the game.

Not all legendary skins are still worth their original asking price. Both the effects and ability's of legendary skins are barely changed and are weak creatively compared to the legendary skins of today.

For example, Super Galaxy Rumble or Final Boss Viegar. Look at all the difference compared to them and their normal skins they look vastly different and speak things and their effects are vastly changed its worth the price due to those factors.

Your telling me because gentleman cho gath wears a monicle and says quiet with absolutely 0 sprite changes or champion look changes is still worth 1820 rp ? cmon please lets be realistic here.

Gentlemen Cho'Gath remains my favorite skin in the game. It is well worth 1820 RP to me.

Gentlemen Cho Gath is still worth 1820, I thought they lowered his price.

Edit: Hm, they didn't.

Either way, their pricing isn't based off time, it is based off what they think the quality of their work is worth compared to their current work. That is why a load of their skins got dropped in price a while back.

Don't complain about Battlecast, complain about Gentleman Cho'Gath. He got a second legendary that far outstripped his first, and it didn't even get a sale.

They put all of the old Legendaries in the Vault without even putting them on sale...
