Skin codes are disabled to prevent abuse and fraud.

The only time you can currently acquire a skin code that works is at a real life event (such as PAX) where Riot gives out codes on cards. Those codes are only valid for a short time after the event ends, at which point they expire. However, Riot support can assist players in redeeming valid codes if they were unable to do so during the redemption window.

TL;DR: You can't buy any skins outside of the game store.

This is correct.

There is currently no way to obtain the PAX Sivir skin.

See this, along with other PAX skins, kind of frustrates me. I get the "exclusivity" of it all, but let's be fair here. There's nothing exclusive about it. There wasn't limited copies. It was just "if you were at this event, we give them out." So for people like me who live in the Southeast, if I don't spend $2,000 to go to a PAX convention either in Boston or Seattle, because San Antonio wasn't happening yet, I could get a skin code. You do realize how ridiculous that is for most people, right?

All I'm saying is, I think it was WizardCrab who said after five years, they would unlock Championship Riven in a bundle with the other Championship skins. Maybe you guys need to run a PAX bundle at some point and give people the opportunity. I've heard there's some contract where you can't sell them. That's fair. But that doesn't mean you can't give them away like you always have. Give previous owners their border and let other people who couldn't spend ridiculous amounts of money to make a trip to PAX an opportunity to have them.

Maybe it's just me, but that's how I feel.

It actually isnt Riot's fault. If I recall, PAX explicitly said that Riot can not, and will not sell the PAX skins for any monetary value, at any time before or after the event, nor can they give away any of the skin codes before or after the event.

Thus, don't blame Riot, for I'm sure they would LOVE to make some money off of that AWESOME Pax Sivir skin. PAX Twisted Fate is actually regarded as the rarest skin in all of League of Legends. Do you know how much a code for that skin would go for?

And believe me, I know the pain. I SSSSSOOOOOO want that PAX Sivir skin. But, alas, I can't travel back in time. Amumu

So what you're saying is, during PAX East they can release one or two of them to all players for free?

Electro5221 votes

That's what they did. PAX TF, Sivir, and Jax did not cost any money. However, I believe the main reason why they haven't made more PAX skins is because they can't make money off of them, continue handing them out after the even, and having less of a presence at PAX.

I suspect that making these skins were a MASSIVE waste of resources, since Riot could not get anything back from making them except publicity.

I second this, actually. It even effects the majority of the population on the newer servers, like Korea. eSports was big prior those servers but League only became big when it became accessible. If League wasn't huge over there when these skins were given away, Korean players had no real chance of obtaining these limited skins whatsoever.

Stating that players should've turned up at a PAX event is unreasonable, especially if they reside in another country that isn't even on the same continent of the events.

I personally believe Riot should either make them legacy skins or use a random PAX mystery gift to replace the free mystery skin you receive at the end of year if you've not been banned. Those who originally owned the skin get a banner and summoner icon.

Kinda sad really, with the change in policy we saw at the end of season 3 there should be more ways to obtain them. I only would attend to get Riot Singed if I could but that isn't happening. So the only reason I would have to spend so much money on an event would be a guaranteed job offer, or else it would be a waste for me to even look at the event.

this always annoyed me. I dont like the idea of people only being able to obtain these sorts of skins based on location of where they live. I have never had an oppertunity to go to pax so if i wanna have any hopes of obtaining something like this id be looking at a few hundred bucks on ebay. i dont think thats possible anymore either but just an example

OK so i can't have pax sivir without going to a pax convention

Riotmoonstones1 votes

Unfortunately, we don't hand PAX Sivir out at conventions anymore either. The skins we hand out now vary, and have included Riot Kayle, and Dragonslayer Pantheon.

Let's all start a petition campaign to Ty and Gabe of Penny arcade to beg them to let Riot sell the skins or release them for limited time. If they don't want Riot earning profits from their copyright, maybe we could convince them to sell the skins though League for their gamer charities. I'd definitely drop the money for PAX skins to support charities.
