Opinions on 750 RP skins?

Hey, So I just posted a board a few minutes ago about what champions deserve new skins, and then I thought about the whole thing about 750 RP skins, and decided it would make the other post simply too long to include it. So, what do you think about skins costing 750 RP, but only getting a champion retexture instead of including recall, abilities, etc that would cost 975-1820 RP. Personally, I don't really like them. I totally understand that it makes them more affordable, but on the other hand I just don't see it doing a whole lot for the champion. I would much rather have a new champion appearance along with abilities and potentially recalls/taunts etc. I just think it makes it so much more worth the RP. For example: Queen of Diamonds Syndra. I love Syndra, she's one of my mains for a reason. She also has 2 other great skins (Justicar and Atlantean), and I was excited about Queen of Diamonds, but the new skin pales in comparison to the other 2 that she's had for so long because they're full skins, so I didnt even bother thinking twice about buying the new one. I honestly just think that a full skin rework for 975 or 1350 would sell better than a champion reskin for 750, and be more worth it. (I obviously don't know about the sales part though, I don't have access to those numbers)

So, sorry about the long post. I doubt anyone has made it this far and it might be a little jumbled. I just type fast and couldn't figure out the best way to get my point across in less words. So what's your opinion? Would you rather more 750 RP skins (just for the sake of new skins), or would you prefer potentially waiting a bit longer but getting 975 skins that include refreshing abilities, recalls etc?

RP is so dumb, give cash values. The idea of replacing money with a fake currency should be illegal.

I so strongly agree with you its not even funny. I would much rather load $20 onto the game than buy 'x' RP and have an amount of it not even available for use. If a skin was (for whatever reason) 11.29, I'd prefer to just pay 11.29 instead of paying for $15 worth of RP and not being able to use the other $3.71 worth.

pays for 1100 RP. Spend 975. 125 remaining that you can't do anything with.

It's not like the money disappears though, the trade off is that Riot receives money, while you receive more value to your account.

I think that 750 skins are a wonderful way for Riot to showcase their inconsistency when it comes to skin pricing (this one will be given multiple new textures and particles, but this one doesn't get anything beyond a single skin texture! Why? Because we said so! We'll even attempt to legitimize it by adding a tiny tweak to our current skin pricing guidelines!— Riot upon deciding to give King of Clubs Mordekaiser and Wild Card Shaco more features than Queen of Diamonds Syndra), and they're also an absolutely amazing way to dumpster great skin concepts by cutting out possible features in order to make them a slightly cheaper.

750 skins are nice, but the thing I disagree with is when a champion ONLY has one tier of skins. Either they're all horribly expensive or don't anything besides the skin itself. I like my backing animations!

That VelKoz with 2 1350 skins ;)

750 skins are garbage. They should be priced at 520 like all the other garbage.
