Disapointment with Lunar Revel Bundles

Another event, another major disappointment. It is a shame that everything has to be locked behind these bundles, because Riot is going to miss out on my money while I'll be missing out on cool content. I'm sure there are people who actually buy these bundles, but from my perspective (and from what I have heard a lot of others), this is just a loss-loss situation.

I was really hyped for the new ward skins and was planning on getting both, unfortunately they are locked behind bundles filled with stuff I'm not interested in, that drives the price of these wards up by about 2.5x.

The Puppy Warwick icon looks adorable and I would have loved to get it, too bad it is locked behind a bundle with a gemstone. This drives the price of a 250rp icon up to 1250rp. You know riot, I currently have 23 gemstones and don't know what to do with them because you hardly produce any content for them. Why would I ever buy this bundle?

I was already reluctant to spend money due to recent business practices, and this certainly doesn't help. You produce awesome content Riot, why won't you let me buy it? I'd gladly support you by buying the content that I'd actually like, but I'm not going to buy stuff I absolutely have no interest in. Get rid of these event bundles, or you can forget your money.

I am also sad the wards are locked up.

Hey! Yeah you worded what I made a thread about so much nicer. I did contact support and they said they would pass it along as feedback. But I just don't see the problem with them releasing the items as lone items and bundles.

While I don't like the way they set up their bundles for this event; I do appreciate that the golden chromas are available for 5 gemstones for those who have more than they know what to do with.

I personally think that they should lock every non-Anime skin with one of the Anime looking ones for more profits, for example if you want to buy Hyena Warwick you will also have to buy Star Guardian Soraka together with it etc. This would help both Riot to make money faster and the audience to acquire the best and most popular skins faster while buying their own preferences.
