@Riot what separates a 975 skin from a 1350?

So in the past the difference was 1350 had new voice effects. Now 1350 skins dont have voice effects, so nothing separates the skin class. Am I right concluding that the 975 skin price is being retired and replaced with 1350?

Hey Budupops,

We don't have plans to stop creating 975 RP skins and move forward with only 1350 RP skins.

You're correct that one of the most noticeable differences between the two tiers is the voice processing - as seen most recently on Demon Vi. However, there are many skins that are 1350 RP and don't have voice processing.

We have a Guide to Skin Tiers, which better outlines what each tier has/sometimes has.

In addition to what Katey's saying, 1350 skins oftentimes have more particle detail than 975 skins.

The particles are worked on harder.

For example, compare Project Zed's shuriken particles to Shockblade Zed's shuriken particles.

Compare Star Guardian Lux's particles to Steel Legion Lux's particles.

1350 skins have higher quality particles than 975 even though they both have new particles.
