Personalized Skins Anyone??

Who doesn't feel awesome when they buy a new skin? But then when everyone else plays your skin too, it feels a little 'less' special. What if there was a way to customize your skin though?

Introducing: Personalized Skins

For a little extra rp (250 or 500?), you can** add a logo to your champion's skin that shows up on the Splash Art, and on the champion** in some location during your gameplay.

I feel like this would be a relatively easy idea to bring to fruition, and also I think it would be quite popular.

Difficult to code.

Modern Warfare did it with guns. It's doable and has been done already.

However you also pay $79 for the game on release, there's incentive to have those things. League is 100% free if you want it to be - zero incentive for such a small change.

I didn't pay $79, that's an over-exaggerated number. The game was more like $60.

Needless to say, I've probably spent at least $100-$150 on league, as have probably over half of the player-base.

The incentive is that once you have the coding for one champion skin model perfected, you can pretty much apply that same coding to every champion model, with only minor tweaks here and there.

For probably the same amount of effort that goes into producing a skin such as Firecracker Jinx or DJ Sona, they could make 10-100 times the amount of money.

And for every skin that comes out in the future, it would be extra money in their pocket for virtually no effort or work at all

That's not an exaggerated number at all. When a platform game is released, as was an aforementioned parameter, specifically massive franchises such as COD, the ticket price is $69.99 USD/CAD. Add taxes, congratulations you paid $75-85 for a new game, depending on your region of residence.

Just because you've spent money on a game doesn't mean everyone else has, and I'm willing to wager a vast majority have spent $0 on league given the following: -The sheer amount of casuals is astronomical -free RP from winning tournaments (which are in your current rank bracket) -some of us have been playing for years and haven't needed or wanted to spend money on the game, as we've been playing long enough that we've had left over IP when there's nothing else to buy - as soon as a champ's released, we already have the IP for it and skins, we get the RP from tournaments.

Considering you took none of those into account, I'm going to assume you're talking out your ass.

I don't need to see everyone's ugly looking logos in my games.

It's not about seeing other people's logos, it's about seeing your own logo

Sage TroyFeb 11, 20152 votes

So other people won't be able to see the logo you choose? What's the point then? If you want your own skin or one few people use go to leaguecraft

Obviously other people would be able to see the logo as well, I'm unsure but perhaps you're just trolling.

I meant it as, people wouldn't care so much how other people viewed their skin, so much as how they themselves viewed it.

It's the same as your summoner name. Other people see your summoner name, but you were the one who chose it, so whether they love it or hate it, you still roll with it.
