To mark the creation of the Hall of Legends, League of Legends is releasing new skins in tribute to Faker. If players were excited about the idea of having a skin bearing the image of the Korean star, one detail quickly cooled their enthusiasm.
New skins in honor of the “GOAT”
A few days ago, Riot Games announced the creation of a Hall of Fame following the model of traditional sports. This pantheon will reward the greatest esports athletes in League of Legends history. And to take the plunge, it’s Fakerthe four-time Korean world champion, who will be the first player inducted into the Hall of Legends. For the occasion, the American company was quick to announce new cosmetics in honor of their star.
In fact, it’s no less than three new bundles which will be available for players to purchase. Everyone will highlight the new skin Ahri Legend Transcended which will be available in three different forms, one for each offer. While the first pack will simply bring together the skin, the season pass and emotes; the latest pack will add skin customizations, borders and banners with Faker’s signature and an improvement allowing Ahri to replicate the Korean midlaner’s famous celebration (as seen below).
An exorbitant price
However, to afford the complete paraphernaliaplayers will have to spend no less than 59,260 Riot Pointswhich is the equivalent of almost €500, never before seen by followers of the fault. Following these announcements of Riotmany Internet users have rebelled and denounced these exorbitant prices.
“I’ve been playing League for a very long time. I remember when they released the very first ultimate skin, Ezreal Pulsefire, for like $25. People didn’t believe it then. Yet here we are now. I really hope the $5,000 2035 skin is for Gragas.”
Players therefore regret that micro-transcations, which only have “micro” in name, reach such amounts. Although these dematerialized objects have no influence on the gameplay and will not impact the duration of your games, it should still be noted that these items cost almost the price of a last generation console. Now, it remains to be seen where the American studio’s crazy surge in prices will stop. ; studio which now belongs to the Chinese company Tencent, possible culprit of these new choices.
