What is going to be the availability of these skins? When you guys nixed the Refer-A-Friend system last year, you stated they would become available later in some other way. It's now later, and Twitch had a splash update and Warwick had a splash and kit update, but there's been no sight of these skins. When will they return to the game?

especially now that theres a huge want for them. They would make a killing if they sold them for just a few days, like they do for holloween or xmas
Ralanr4 votesAs someone who recently got Twitch, would love to know.
Sambers3 votesNope, get lost and let us enjoy what we earned back in the day....
Ralanr5 votesNo, we will not get off your lawn.
Tormentula2 votesThey even gave the vintage border to medieval twitch. The vintage border shows "original owners" but nobody but the original owners, own him. Doesn't make much sense.
Junkο1 votesDid they? I have both but don't have borders on either of them.
Tormentula1 votesYep,
Not sure how they handled it though.
They didn't do anything for grey ww yet.
Çhåryzård2 votesIf they brought back the skins they most definitely would add stuff to the original ones to identify who actually earned them, and who bought them, like they did with Riven
There's no harm in bringing them back especially when the big doggo is getting a brand spanking new set of models. People who earned the skin "back in the day" would have special versions to identify the fact that they earned them.
It's not ruining anything, your skin won't have decreased value as long as Riot actually modifies it so that it lets people know "hey, I EARNED this here skin"
Like I paid $20 for DJ Sona when it first came out, and there are people getting it for free with Hextech Crafting now. I could care less what other people have but maybe that's just me.

I think it should be noted that the Refer-A-Friend system was incredibly easy to dupe. All you had to do was go to Yahoo or Google, make 15 or so email accounts, and BOOM!, there's all the "friends" you need to unlock the skins. I'm sure there are some people that legitimately recruited friends and earned them the hard way, but I can almost assure there are a LOT more people that duped the system and created a ton of accounts for no reason other than the skins.

That too ^
I get people being like "well I earned it, I want it to stay special" but look what they did with Riven. They made sure to make it obvious who earned it and who bought it, while making people who missed out on it happy.
I would definitely buy Grey Warwick, it's a gorgeous skin, and I'm sad that I missed it. There's no harm in bringing it back for a limited time for his rework release, but Riot would probably do something to the original owners' copies so people know who got it originally.
He's got 2 skins (unless big ad warwick isn't available anymore? Thought I heard that somewhere) that you can't get anymore, no harm in bringing back at least one in celebration of his rework

Granny Warwick is indeed Legacy. It was retired last year.
Breaku1 votesI think they should stay retired.
IceKingChernobog4 votesI think they should stay retired.
Championship Riven was supposed to be a retired skin, but they bought it back because of fan outcry. What makes these skins so different?
Breaku1 votesI think Championship Riven should have stayed retired as well.
Azteryz1 votesi think its cause at one point before she was retired she was just another skin for sale that you could just buy with rp
these two on the other hand you had to specifically do something to earn them
so making them avaiable to buy would just be a slap in the face to the people who actually got them
say for example they brought black alistar/pax tf back for sale? it would destroy these skins for the people who were dedicated to league of legends at the time in this specific condition to get them
black alistar, pax tf, medieval twitch and grey warwick have stories to them
i have played this game since season 2 and i regret not being able to get the last two but thats on me and i dont want to ruin it for the people who have got them
Junkο1 votesThey should stay retired like the other special skins, so old players have something to show for their age other than just a summoner icon whose art style looks outdated.
Rut Roh Raggy1 votesPersonally I think Riot would be missing out on a huge wave of not only money, but gratitude if they didn't return these skins. The reworks made to the champs changed the skins into something brand new that only a small portion of the community is getting to enjoy. Seems insulting to not only the players who don't get to enjoy them, but to the game makers who took the time to update these skins. Like an artist painting an amazing picture for everyone to enjoy, but then someone coming along and only letting pitifully small handful of people get to do so.
Polutions1 votesif they have to put it on sale this skins will be just useless they have to stay one of the rarest skin in lol : look at black allistar its so rare why they haven't put it for sale ? beceause it will be just like tristana riot girl so this skins have to stay unbuyable
