This Solar/Lunar eclipse Leona is a gashgrab, a waste, and a slap in the faces of lore fans.

How much money did you make with Lancer blitz? Was it enough to make you risk repeating the experiment with Leona and potentially disappointing the community? Because i sure as hell feel disappointed right now. Instead of making a serious and honest VS event like everybody and their mother thought you would with Leo/Diana (which would also, in the long run, most likely give you more money than this piece of genius marketing stunt), you decided that putting effort into something takes too much time and try to sell one skin twice. Because it's faster money that way. Leo and Diana were in the lore-limbo since forever. We would kiss your toes for an exciting VS event combined with the extension of their lore. But now we wont get it in ages since Leona is getting a legendary skin, and VS events only come with selling these in mind. I'm disappointed as a consumer and sad as a fan. I expected you to do better.

Lore has no real relevance to skins as they have their own lore and concepts behind them.

Leona v Diana would be a nice event but there are plenty of other contenders as well, so what makes the best choice for who gets one next is the real question. Just cause you want so and so doesnt mean that it will happen.

I personally love leona, and have seen the fan concept of this around for a few years now. It is a very impressive idea, and i love that riot took it and explored it further.

Honestly .... i'm extremely satisfied with what Riot did with Leona. It's an AMAZING skin that i've waited 3+ years for, let me have this lol.

They receiving a VS skin dont means that their lore will be expanded... Yauso and Riven received VS skins and their lore came almost a year after the release of the skins, because of Irelia not because of the skins. Garen didnt receive any lore with his VS skin and Darius's lore update came some time after it because of Swain, not because of the skins.

I have a bigger question. How do you mistake the letter "c" for "g"? "Gashgrab?"

Sounds like you're alone on this one OP.

I think this post is the result of "without thinking about it for longer than a second."

I couldn't be happier with the skins we got.

im pretty pissed she gets both and that they are both legendary. Riot could of had one hell of a VS event or something similar and milked money out of it.

This has nothing to do with Lore and neither do the VS events.

A Vs. Event of them would be cool honestly but just wait for the full skin reveal! It will be up in an hour on SkinSpotlights on youtube..

And here I thought nobody would hate on these skins because they look great.
