When the event is over, allow us to buy the rest of the Graves/TF icons?

We shouldn't be allowed to buy them while the event is going because that kind of ruins the point of "taking a side" (despite the fact that doing so makes the icon technically free, but my point still stands)

In that case, it would be best to wait until the event is over before selling the rest of the icons.

Some people like the other icons, but chose a side because of morals, or because either Graves or TF were their mains, and whatnot. I believe buying missed icons would please these people, and also people who just love to collect Summoner Icons.

Similar to the Freljord Event, we want the choice to be a deliberate decision. We won't be making them available for sale after the event.

I personally dont like the Act 2 icons... i'd much rather both act 1 icons.

I don't think we're alone on this; the Act 1 icons are undoubtedly better than the Act 2 icons in every way.

I went with Graves the first time even though I thought TF's icon looked cooler, because I don't think there is ever a good reason to betray someone you call a friend.

So you're telling me that my moral decision has made me permanently lose something I would have preferred, in a non-serious videogame? Even though I understand that the decision should hold weight - at least up until the event is over to buy the icons with RP? Is that really a terrible idea? Besides, the sides you took give you free icons anyway. I guess the "price to pay" for not picking the other icons the first time is to pay for them with RP. Do you think it's really that disagreeable?

they did mention when you pick that you couldn't get the other one.

Well, everyone who has gotten their icons so far have earned them.. If Riot was going to put them for sale, it would put all our efforts to waste.

thats a total fail on making money for a free game. The LEAST you guys can let the community who spend their money on these Summoner Icons have a chance at getting them all, You lose out in the long run if you dont understand that.

It's about time some of these decisions are being given proper weight. I'm startled to see so many people interested in removing that, and apparently blindsided by what they agreed to.

What about the icons for Riven Tryndamere Diana ? (freedom, power, truth)

Not that I'm saying they should be sold after the event. Just wondering why that one was different.

Also IMO, you should have had to pick a side and stick with it through the whole event. (even though I switched sides) That would have given it more weight. Being able to switch feels kinda..meh, I'm just going with whichever icon I like best for the act, ignoring whichever Lore side I would have picked.

If I had to pick and stay with it, I probably would have went with TF, he seems smarter and knows more about what's going on (so possibly get more information from his side of the story,) also he's still pretty tough for a 'fancy' fellow, probably not a tough as Graves, but still pretty tough on top of being smart/quick witted/etc.

Overall really like the event. Just don't like being able to be a turncoat. Then again, pirate event, maybe giving us the traitor feeling was "calculated."

I couldn't get mine during the Frelijord Event... I wish I could buy them, even if only one out of the three were available.

I really think this should be a thing, or maybe even allowing access to both in the event. We'll only be able to use one per match anyway. I don't really get much from being denied icons- It doesn't "cement" the decision because you can switch sides in between acts anyhow.
