The Debacle of Championship Riven (yes, another thread about it)
(Apologies if this topic is in the wrong section. Please move it to the appropriate section if necessary.)
So as most of us know, a code bundle was given out to those who attended the Season IV World Finals in Seoul, South Korea. This code bundle included three skins - two of which are Legacy, one of which is Limited.
The Legacy skins - Championship Thresh
, Championship Shyvana
They are Legacy because they were made available specifically around the date of the World Finals, then they are returned to the Legacy Vault until the following year's World Championship.
The Limited skin - Championship Riven
This one is Limited because of its code only being available to those who watched the Season II World Finals. It was then never made available again, except to those who obtained the codes, and those who essentially threw tons of money at their computer monitors to buy said codes on auction sites, until the codes that still remained were deactivated by Riot 2 years later.
New codes are now available due to the Season IV World Finals, but the issue of them being sold for hundreds of dollars on auction sites is still prevalent. And Riot isn't making a single dime from those codes.
The issue here is the availability of the Championship Riven skin. What is so difficult with this? The only reason Riot has going for them to not make the skin available again is "Because it's Limited." For two years, we, the players, have offered what is quite possibly the simplest solution: "Change it from a Limited Skin, to a Legacy Skin."
It is literally that simple, Riot.
"The time for talk is over." -
The time to take action is now.
And I guarantee that our wallets will be ready for the return of Championship Riven.
Please keep all discussion civil.
