Championship Riven is coming back

But riot doesn't know how and they need our ideas!

Somehow I don't think a player icon for original buyers is going to be enough. I dunno if a ward skin would work either. A mystery box (or 3) for owners might work, but I don't think riot wants to set that kind of precedent. A rune page might be an interesting thing if riot wants to give the original owners something. A free chroma pack for the original owners might work, while others would have to buy it separately. I like the chroma pack idea the best.

One cool option is maybe riot could give the some scaling reward based on how much the re-release sells. That way there's incentive for current owners to want it to be sold. For example if it hits a high sales mark, riot will garuntee a legendary riven skin gets made and original owners are the ones who can vote on which option is done.

Or maybe riot could just give an honest apology. The championship skins turned into a line of things riot sells once a year; it didn't stay a limited edition thing as originally intended. It'd be different if they didn't make more skins or made those as LE, but they didn't. I mean look at WotC's reserve list. That burnt another company big time because at the end of the day, it was an anti-consumer, short-sighted, knee jerk reaction. Champsionship Riven also has an issue of being one of riven's better skin options.

I don't have the icon... I own the skin. I want the rp refund they did with every other LE skin.

I see one problem with this Chroma Pack idea. They reason why a lot of poeple, including me, love this Riven skin is because it's the only Riven skin with the basic animation in another colour apart from battlebunny. I do like all Riven skins alot, my favorite is the dragon blade because I love the model, but I do rarely play dragonblade or arcade, because the animations feel clunky to play. I think im not alone with this way of thinking. (e.g. you rarely see BoxBox playing one of these 2 skins) I can say my 2 most played skins are Crimson Elite and BattleBunny (even though i actually don't even like the last one that much, just because of the orange animations)

The point I want to make is that if riot would release this chroma pack for pre-owners, all other people who love Riven or just wanted this skin, will cry more, because 3 different colours ( so basically 3 different "skins") not able to get are worse than 1 skin not able to get. Thereby Riot would just make it worse i guess.

Plus the fact that producing the Chroma and give it away basically for free is kinda expensiv even though it's just a chroma.

I realy realy want this skin But I can understand the pre-owners if they want something for it's rerelease ( However I cant understand them to say "Don't release it!") But this Chroma Pack would be the wrong way imo

I bought the skin back in s2 and I would love a chroma and a loading boarder would be pretty cool

I hope they just give us RP. I'm not even going to use the skin when it's rereleased - I'll just use Battle Bunny instead. So at least that way I can buy another skin for Jayce or something
