KInda disappointed with Draven Draven.

Draven Draven is 500 RP. Which is roughly...like $4? 3.50? No matter what, you'd assume it's a steal of a skin.

And then you remember this.

http://elocoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Warwick-Skin.jpg

Urfwick was originally 5k RP (Yeah shows what Draven knows) before being reduced to 500 RP...and then down to 50 RP. A skin that arguably does more was less expensive than the skin that's literally just a big head on the base model. If anything, I honestly thought the skin would be free for playing the mode or like 10k IP...but nope. It's about 3.50.

C'mon Riot, not cool.

You're not kidding, 750 rp for a blue version of stock tahm kench is bad enough, i literally thought the skin spotlight for Draven Draven was a troll and i stopped watching the youtube channel because of it. These skins are stupid overpriced for a joke, which kind of makes it not funny tbh.

SinlaireApr 1, 20166 votes

it's 750 because whiel mailing him blue and somewhat Urf like they also gave him the Chef Tahm Kench Devour indicator instead of his stock one as well. making the minor particle change a step up from a 520 skin.

But if they already have the resources for Chef Kench's indicator done with, why would THAT be the reason the skin is more expensive?

SinlaireApr 1, 201610 votes

Skin tiers are measured by the resources used, not but the effort placed on production.

granted thaose generally go hand in hand but a 520 generally just means recolor. 750 means new suit, same guy. might have touched the color of particles. 975 means new suit and new effects. 1350 fancy new suit and largely new effects. 1820 and 3250 means they were sent to "Pimp my Ride" and came back with some spinners.

Urf Kench got Chef Kench indicator meaning he broke the 520 "just a different color suit" bracket by having different effects and strayed into 750 by default due to having no other options. they might have done a color change on the effects of some other skill or maybe he spits up a crown instead of a croissant in his joke now, but other than that he simply defaulted into that bracket because he wasn't 100% vanilla on all his abilities.

Not always, Popstar Ahri easily had 1350 rp worth of content but costs 975.

SinlaireApr 1, 20163 votes

if i remember correctly popstar ahri on release was 1350 and then got knocked down to 975 some time after when Riot did a Skin Price Evaluation. Apparently they felt on her release she was worth it but thew they went back in order to standardize the criteria and prices she fell just short of the mark.

so your point stands, but the rules are the rules and for whatever reason she's a 975.

I mean really only the Draven Draven and Urf Tahm are bad, The Vel and Mao skins are amazing

GreenLoreApr 1, 20165 votes

I'ts because he also wears different clothes. 750-skins are pretty much always just the base models with different clothes/colors The thing is that tahms head is pretty big,so his new set of clothes isn't that noticeable(though he does wear a laurel wreath instead of his head and carries a golden spatula and gatling gun with him)

Just wanna point out that SkinSpotlight is a serious fan channel and I think we should all appreciate Uli (The creator)'s work, especially because he's so dedicated to it and whatever other programming he does.

I still remember when he had japanese Ahri taken down for being "pornographic" funny day, but YouTube can be a dick sometimes, especially since there's a 10 hour version of english Ahri dying.

When I saw the first Draven Draven stuff on the PBE, I honestly thought it was an accidental release because it looked low quality and unfinished.

Urf Kench looks shitty and Draven Draven is so low quality a whole lot of people naturally assumed it would be a free skin.

On top of that, the Draven head on every champ only faces one fucking direction. There's a 2013 MOD with more effort put into it.

The only good thing out of this is Meow kai and Not Velkoz.

okay with your last point I would just like to point out that the draven head facing one direction was probably intentional, so it would look funny when going back

MansanaApr 1, 201617 votes

I said "That skin looks amazing Riot. How much will that Draven Draven skin be worth?" Well Riot looked at me and said "That'll be about tree fiddy." Well it was about that time I noticed that Riot was about 8 stories tall and was a crustacean from the protozoic era! Crazy old Lochness Monster trying to trick me.

You kidding? Riot doesn't do that kind of fun stuff anymore. Sure, maybe once in a very long while they'll do something cool like a free skin for non-toxic players or refunds, but that's about it.

GreenLoreApr 1, 20167 votes

Kinda sad that the Draven Draven skin doesn't count towards the "buy-a-legendary-or-higher-and-get-a-free-box"-thing.I mean the joke is that it costs 5000RP and is merely reduced in price,so it is technically above legendaries in terms of price.

Forbidden SirenApr 1, 20163 votes

Honestly, they should've priced the Draven Draven skin 390 RP (like Golden Alistar, Assassin Yi and White Mage Veigar). It's just regular Draven but with a bigger head.

Assassin Yi skin is a completely different model and it costs less RP lmao

You didn't notice it's on sale for 90% off? The skin does cost 5000 RP.

1.april was always just a bunch of april fool skins,some jokes from riots side and in the last 2 years we had urf(which is now simply part of the rotating game queue and became unrelated to the 1st april)

am not disappointed with the draven theme , but URF or something

InphernalApr 1, 20162 votes

Dont forget that theyre pushing hard for everyone to buy legendary skins with the Dravens Spinning Axes bull. In addition to the 500 RP craptastic skin. Also, why not just use the model from the Draven Draven skin instead of the lazy 2d icon for le ebin april fools joke? BUY SOMETHING ALREADY PIGGY SUUEEEEY

The IllithidApr 1, 20162 votes

I remember it being the other way around. Urfwick started out as 50 RP and climbed each day for three days. At least, that's what I remember.

Might have been that way yeah.

Supreme Senpai69Apr 1, 20162 votes

It was 5k RP but on Aprils Fools it was cut by 99%. From there, it steadily went back up in increments.

WolfBVApr 2, 20161 votes

idk if this is shown for everyone, but currently I'm shown that Draven Draven is on sale for 500 RP at 90% off. So when the sale ends it'll be 5,000 RP?
