There used to be a lot more cheaper skins before with same satisfaction as 1350RP skins, if we don't count Trynda skin,last time we had cheaper skin was on aprils fool (4 and half months) and new SG skins are also 1350RP,so why not release more 975s?

I noticed that as well. Looks like 1350 will be the new default price. Ornn's secondary skin is 1350. I remember when most secondary skins on release were 975. Feelsbadman. Riot getting greedy af.

How are they greedy? They're making a better product for a higher price.

975 was overpriced as it was 1350 is over the top

let's put this into labor hours: 60$ game 60$ skins

how long does it take to make 6 skins how long does it take to make triple A video game

CD Projekt Red released Expansion Pack with tons of textures, models, big map, storylines, voiceovers, storytelling and bonus features for 20€. Riot releases ultimate skin with hardly same amount of models, textures, voiceovers, writing and features for circa the same price. While the former case can be pirated, the latter cannot. That's enough to know that it's not worth paying so much money so that people are paid to not make proper skins for most champs saying "They cannot make fantasy for them".

I prefer the 1350 skins, they look nicer and if you're going to spend money on a skin it might as well look awesome

I'm super hyped we're moving in this direction, honestly. In 2017 alone we've already gotten 5 legendary skins (including SG Ahri), and we're only in August. For context, 2016 had a total of 4 legendary skin releases, while 2015 only had 3. I think good, high quality legendary skins are way more cool and memorable in the long run anyway, so I hope the # of legendary skins only increases as we move into 2018 :)

I mean...why make 975 skins when you can have a nice polished 1350 $10 skin.

It fluctuates. We are currently headed towards Worlds, so Riot is capitalizing on the heightened viewership to rake in them big $$$ off of "higher quality" skins. I imagine in the off season we will get more 975 and 750 skins.

I remember Riot saying it once somewhere that they just release different types of skins to kind of balance the types out. They released a lot of 750s for awhile, then we get a ton of 975 and so on.

To be fair, the skin prices are rising in correlation with the rising skin quality. No more simple palette changes, no more 520RP skins.

Because people complained when THEIR main got a skin below 1350.

So here we are.

Oh, damn - I've been complaining about a lack of legendary skins for MY main [ Lulu ] for some time now. xD Under 1350 RP then, under 1820 RP now. Logic.

Point to you, sir/ma'am.

Just makes it so I stop buying skins. I mean, while the skin is 1350, I got to spend twenty dollars by default just to be able to get it and I don't like spending that much on League at once, so I just don't get RP. When they go on sale, maybe, but that's if I'm even paying attention to League at the time.

Typically skin lines tend to be 1350+, and it seems riot have been focusing specifically on skin lines lately.

Same quality, new brand, costs more. Business 101.
