The Aatrox skin wasn't what I expected from Prestige skins

Maybe it's just me but I thought the color palette and sparkle effects were just for K/DA because it fit the aesthetic really well and that other Prestige skins would have the same concept but a style that fit the skin.

I fucking called it,every event will come with a pass and a pReSTigE(cash grab) edition "prestige skins show dedication to your champion and the game so we want you to work hard and spend harder for them so you can have a sense of pride and accomplishment" Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I thought maybe after Akali prestige, it was going to be Evelynn or Ahri. Guess not lol

Yeah i like the base skin better, they may as well give him a tutu so at least he has something to match with all the fucking sparkles. And of course, never forget prestige edition skins are gonna be rare collector skins, super exclusive and super rare. Proceeds to make 3 in the span of 4 months

So we're getting a Prestige Skin every patches now? Wasn't they supposed to be "rare and hard to get"? Because I sure see that they will be difficult to acquire but this doesn't make them rare at all. That's kind of boring...

League needed a sparkly vampire type, didn't it?

i thought the prestige skins were only going to be released after a skin was already deemed by the community to be very popular. this aatrox skin is going to be released along with his prestige edition right away? riot does not even know if people are going to like the base.

riots getting prestige skins confused with gold chromas. atleast akali and kai had a few changed to their prestige skin and they were golden because it just fit the k/d/a theme, aatrox is just golden with no change at all. also chromas for the new BL skins wtf [sg-lux-2]

The Splash art is better than normal Bloodmoon Aatrox, but normal BM Aatrox has a better ingame animations imo

I'm just disappointed they gave him a blood moon skin instead of a dark star skin. also i feel like prestige would look better on dark star imo. :/

Lets be honest. Riot cares more about money than they do their player base.

At this point, originality is scarce. BTS mimic let alone the radical appeal to females with an abundance of cutesy aesthetics and plethora of Icons and Emotes.

Several un-lockables via PURCHASED PASS ONLY.

Even WITH the pass, A single individual could only acquire fragments of what's available. EVEN being a person who plays nearly CONSTANTLY - EVERY DAY - I STRUGGLED to to acquire much more than the cheapest available (in tokens) and the Prestige Kai'Sa skin.

Funny how you can spend a month grinding your ass off to unlock a special Prestige skin, and they can't even give you the Champion if you didn't own it.

An OVERFLOW of new skins released at a RAPID FIRE rate.

Prestige skins that have absolutely no relevance to be prestigious.

Prestige:

 n.
The level of respect at which one is regarded by others; standing.
n.
A person's high standing among others; honor or esteem.
n.
Widely recognized prominence, distinction, or importance: a position of prestige in diplomatic circles.

A recognition or level of respect... marked by ones ability to spend money.

What we have here is a seemingly decent company, with its integrity slowly diminishing.

Prestigious? Not anymore. When you become an entity focused around exploiting people, you lose my respect.

League of Legends being one of the most ADDICTING creations on this planet, why wouldn't you crap out a bunch of garbage that people will gravitate to.

Fix your game, fix your honor system, fix your ranking system, FIX YOUR QUEUE SYSTEM.

OR make League of Legends 2, or an MMORPG. Otherwise, stop walking all over us in favor of your cult style development team.

REAL Unique and original Riot. Honestly you need to do some SPIRITUAL searching, maybe then will you find the priority to become something better.

"But at least the game is 'free'."

Just imagine what you could accomplish if you created something that ACTUALLY attracted new and old players. Something worthwhile. You think your game is big now, try being an adult and lets see what really happens.
