But remember, 1350 is not going to become the new standard price.

EDIT: I would like to thank KateyKhaos for wading into this thread. I love all that she does and the amount of hard work and community interaction she puts into her job. But 1350 skins have been growing in number and I think it's time to admit that they aren't going to be a rare "almost Legendary" skin tier like they were first pitched as.

Baron Von Bangin,

Please keep in mind that 1350 RP skins are on sale for 975 RP when they're first released. :]

Seems like we have equal amounts of all these tiers of skins.

  1. People here always seems to miss-read what Riot said. When the first 1350 skin came out (Mecha Kha'zix) Riot said that "We have no plans_** AT THIS TIME** _to make 1350 a standard price point."

Another thing people seem to really miss-read was the announcement of the price tiers. http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/content/skin-rp-price-changes

It stats many times that the amount of skins for each tier was for 2013.

They said, and I quote

"We expect that 7-15% of skins released in **2013 **will be 1350 RP, and they are eligible to be put on sale"

2013...yet it is 2015 and I see still people say that Riot isn't keeping their word cause right now 50% of the skins being released right now are 1350 instead of 7-15%.

1350 RP skins are the standard that people want. In a perfect world, we'd get visual effects changes and base model adjustments in 390 RP skins, but we live in this world. If you want a cool skin, you pay money for it, and people want cool skins more than they want recolors.

But 3 URF day skins were 750, maruader ashe and WW, Inquisitor Nautalis and Sivir, Sweet Heart Annie and Debonair Galio were all 750s as well. The New Shuriman skins are 975- 1350... and we've gotten one 1820 so far. I think it's been rather even considering all the skins of the year so far.

Arclight Vel'Koz shouldn't have had voice processing.

Special Weapon ZAC should have.

And then you also have people who wanted Riot to increase the price of skins because it would look cooler with new particles (Marauder, Warden etc.)

Now I can understand why Riot would refuse to consider that.
