The problem with Annie in Wonderland

There's a serious problem with Annie in Wonderland that needs to be addressed. It has almost none of the features a legendary (1820) skin should have. Based on Riot's price tiers, this is what an 1820 skin should have:

> A legendary skin completely changes the look and feel of a champion. Features: new model, new texture, new splash image, new animations, new visuals, new voice over and sounds. Examples: Battlecast Prime Cho'Gath, Brolaf.

Annie in Wonderland has a whopping 3 things on that list! She has no new animations, no new visuals, no new voiceover or sounds, and it doesn't even feel like it's a different dynamic! With these features, she should be a 750 skin, at most a 975 skin. Why the half-assed and overpriced work Riot?

Annie in Wonderland is in desperate need of an update, either by changing the price or by updating the skin entirely. Someone may ask "Why does this even matter? She's legacy anyways," and to that my answer is this; if you bought something for $20, and it only had a third of the stuff advertised, but then it was suddenly pulled off of shelves, you would be pissed, right? Then why do this to the people who bought AoW and were disappointed by the overpriced, lazy skin?

In conclusion, Annie in Wonderland needs to be updated in one of two ways (^) to fix its glaring issues with Riot's current pricing policies.

Good thing that the skin WAS RETIRED FROM THE STORE FOR THAT SAME REASON, so, you cant really buy it.

When the skin was created, Legendary skins had different "rating" system, Old Legendary skins had only 2 things: Different Model and Texture... Those where the things adverticed.

If you bought a Play Station 3 on release, the thing was between $499 and $599 dollars on the US, but the Play Station 4, that is better than the Play Station 3, had a release price of $399 dollars. However, i dont see people asking for a refund of the Play Station 3 or a free upgrade.

Stop applying today's standards to something made 8 years ago.

I hope they update those old skins sooner than later. Annie in wonderland, magnificent tf, and gentleman Cho'gath needs some classy spell effects.

There's lots of champs in that boat, not just Annie. As far as I know, they don't plan to change them at all.
