Hi! First off, great job on the skins, you outdo yourselves constantly!

Secondly, the Chromas. I like that you're trying to be creative with your delivery of the Chromas, and it's great that you're splitting them up this go round, but one thing stands out horribly - the pricing. 290 for a single Chroma on a skin you've already purchased is just absurd. That's another $3 on top of a $7-20 skin, and that's not ok. As a simple recolor, Chromas should clock in way cheaper, cheaper than a 520 skin on sale. Chromas should be something you want to grab with that 200 extra RP that isn't going to get you anything other than Hextech components. I propose a price drop of at max 200 RP, ideally 190 each. That makes them quick, easy grabs for people with that little bit of RP that isn't going anywhere soon, and doesn't deter players from buying them. The whole reason people don't buy Chromas is because the pricing is too much for a skin design that was retired over 5 years ago, and most players don't see much of any value in a recolor when they could save double that RP and buy a 520 skin with a unique appeal. Those are my 2 cents on the subject.

"Chromas will be priced at 290 RP each, and will also be available in discounted bundles for the collectors out there. For those of you who love a chance to spend IP, we’re also introducing recurring IP sales which will take place twice a year. The first IP sale goes from August 25, 2016 to September 8, 2016 and includes all chromas launched before August 2016."

So... I think it is heavily implied that Chromas will be available to purchase with IP twice a year.

Which is a sigh on my part, considering I've already bought all the Chromas for the skins/champions I do own.

Oh well, at least I can blow the IP on those new Arcade MF recolors.
