Anyone else think a skin trading center would be nice?

Like being able to trade skins with other people who play league. It could be a feature in the store or something

but the allure of Mystery gifting is the buyers remorse when you get a skin for a champ you hate

Riot's wanting to do a monthly service to have around 100 or more champs open to try, I'd rather have skin trading. Free rotation is there for a reason and if I really want I can play a few games and buy the champion with IP if I can't wait for free rotate. They'd still be getting money from making it part of the monthly service, and premium/monthly subscribers could have extra protection/priority if their accounts are at risk of being hacked. People are more likely to buy something if they know it can be up-cycled later.

Good point I didn't think of the last reason but that's good

No, the profit Riot would lose would be insane

what profit?

HoffmiscMay 22, 20151 votes

The profit of people buying the skins for themselves rather than getting them for 'free' from someone else? If you didn't mean that than clearly I misinterpreted the meaning of 'skin trading'.

its not free u exchange you have but dont want

The skin you are saying they're getting for 'free' is the skin that the original owner paid for, correct? Then how is it free? Riot still got their money for it. It's not like he was given a copy of the skin. When one skin changes owners it's still just one skin that was originally paid for when it was bought from the store.

Their losing out on the sale the seconds person would have bought (maybe) had the skin not been traded to them.

Not really i only use my rp for skins i must have which isnt very many and the rest i mystery gift myself. Its just gonna make everyone happy. I have firefighter tristana and i dont even play her its a nice skin and its a waste on my account why shouldnt i be able to exchange it with someone and we will both be happy

It sounds awesome, but Rito wants their money. $624 million a year isn't enough, apparently.

you'd have to make it so the skins were the same value, though, to make it fair.

Or like bundles of skins like say I want someone's DJ sona I would have to five then like my firefighter trisrana foresaken jayce and championship shyvana

Not necessarily. It's your choice if you want to trade a more expensive skin for a cheaper one, it's not like anyone is forcing you. Just like with any collectable, some things are worth more to some people then others. My apple might have cost me more then your banana, but if I hate apples and I really, really, really want a banana then I'd trade it in a heart beat.

I'd LOVE this.

I've been mystery gifted two skins for a champion I'm not good at (Riven), and I own a Nidalee skin purchased before her rework and can't stand her now. I'd gladly trade it to someone else for a skin I actually want/like.

I like this idea. I also think a user marketplace would be a nice thing. That was if you have a skin you don't want anymore, but you don't want any of the current skins out for any of the champions you own then you can just auction it off to someone else and save your RP for when a skin you want is release.

League will never have a feature like this because of it's attractiveness to hackers. Riot has done a lot of things to prevent hackers to have a reason to hack peoples accounts.

I mean think about it. If someone hacks your account what do you have to lose until you get it back? Some Ranked stats? That's it.
