Why are price adjustments still not made for 975 skins that are actually 750 skins?

I get it, I really (don't actually) do. When skins like Blade Mistress and Sinful Succulance Morgana came out many many many many years, their models were so new and different, totally 975 tier.

Except the 975 tier of original League of Legends is now 750 tier in modern League of Legends.

If Riot is willing to, and consistently does, lower the price (free and paid) of champions as they age, then they should have no problem lowering the price of 7-9 year old skins that don't meet the modern day standards for skin tiers.

Inb4: I own SS. I don't understand why she can't at least have a unique recall to terrorize the gingerbread man. I would never spend money on BM in the past, and I still wouldn't bother to now, especially since that skin is so confused as to what it's trying to be.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Agree. If they actually upgrade a skin, like they did with Shadow Eve, it's totally ok to up-price it. But having skins like SS Morgana still being 975 is weak.

Riot is more than willing to bump up a the price of skins (remember when they made the 1350 RP tier the first time, before that skins were 975 RP). But to lower the price of skins, no they will never do that cause greed.

It would be okey if they updated the lower quality 975 RP and Legendaries, but they still leave skins like Firefighter Tristana, Alien Invader Heimerdinger, or Magnificent Twisted Fate be the same quality as 975 RP or 750 RP skins for the price of a legendary.

Don't forget there are 520 RP and the long forgotten 390 RP so the (390, 520, 750 and 975 skins) are the same in the Eyes of riot now, it's not fair, it sucks that they didn't change anything about the K&M 975 skins but we already said more than enough but @Riot doesn't seem to give a S*&%. they've been working on these skins for months now all they have to do is give them a bit of VFX change or even a recall animation but (THEIR RESOURCES ARE LIMITED).

Blade Mistress is a 750 though.

Very very easy question. It'd give them less money. Boom that's it. "But they do it with champions!" Yup, and you can buy champions with BE. Skins will always be bought with money. Any lowering prices of skins will result in less money. That's it.

they price the skins by the amount of work that went into it at the time

Because then the people who bought them would complain, and demand RP back. I don't actually know if that'd happen, but granted how people reacted to Riot letting people keep the loot they got when the Blood Moon capsules were bought for 1 BE, I honestly wouldn't be surprised.
