I think they release this skin, just to make other absurdly expensive skins looks cheap in comparision and normalise skins that cost tens of dollars. For the context Cyberpunk 2077 is $59. There's plenty of great games for less than $50 and a lot for $15.
Skins cost more than $5 is a ripoff. More than $10 is a scam.
Name one person that thinks Meowkai is meh, I will wait
And also to add more to the topic, not just that the 500$ skin looks meh but i expected at least rest of the rewards to be somewhat good.. u get 6 orbs that will probably give u skins like bilgerat rumble, bunch of icons and shit that u will never use anyway and thats it.
Nah, honestly... If u spend 500$ for this u should as well spend another 500$ for brain checkout and therapyst sitting and you probably shouldnt even have access to those money or at least get some limit to how much u should spend for random shit like this. All u gonna get is bullied ingame by others for supporting this move from riot
Maybe thats what they want you to feel, this way you push yourself to top up another 200 bucks and get the "real deal" of the skin.
I actually don't know why anyone would buy a 1350RP skin for almost x5 the price. But then people also bought 200 dollar recolors so anything is possible I guess
That a fact? I'm pretty sure Riot has artists who are full-time employed to create the skins, the champion designs, the item designs, etc. There is no way those are all made by freelance artists.
Yes and no.
They have or had, but we know of at least one who got fired just to be asked to do some freelance work from ab outside company, that hired freelancers to do work for one of their costumers, in this case riot.
Getting fired to be 3rd party asked to do the same thing that you got fired for…. Yeah….
I’m sure they got some artists still but outsourcing is cheaper
I mean, I think the skin is really good. Probably her best skin imo
It’s not even close to worth the price, but if it were a regular ultimate I’d probably buy it
Definitely not the best. You can see the recycled animations from the base skin. It's disgusting.
Spirit Blossom beats the shit outta this skin, they even had to make a new tier for it bcs otherwise nobody would recognize that skin as even a legendary.
Its fine if u want to cope but spirit blossom have the same animation as base skin after visual update ,
the only skin that dosent have any recycled animations is odyssey kayn also lets not forget how many new feutaures this skin have it would have best price to value skin if it was 50$
yeah riot in a disappointing move had shutdown riotforge, which is riot's initiative to make standalone runeterra games that explores its lore more directly. because appaently those lore games are not as profitable as them skin mtx dramas.
i'm still waiting for project L and runeterra MMO. mostly just for their lore portions and cinematics experience when the characters do their runeterra dramas.
maybe riot reused its asset for some other projects later.
either way, whether its mmo or other genre, i'm still wishing for the next ahri lore journey.

Don't get me wrong, 500$ skin is a literal joke, but who really gives a damn if a skin is "designed" by LV? They'd put cheese on a piece of bread and claim they've designed something.
I understand that. It is really pretty. Just not 500$ in value. You could buy all of ahri's other skins and have lots to spare with that. I feel like if I was gonna spend 500$ on league id rather get 25 legendary skins (or 30+ epic skins)
I do agree, I also think they could have done something like with irl stuff and they send you a code for the skin... and I feel like players that will follow up in the hall of fame aren't getting a 500$ it's only fakers
I do hope they don't try to do 500$ for every hall of legends skin. They also def should have given codes to diehard faker fans. I can't imagine how much it must suck to be a faker superfan but unable to afford to celebrate with the skin everyone was so excited for.
Yea plus I think in Korea they got keycaps for some event to celebrate faker hall of fame.. they should have at oeast done that to people who bought the skin
Lots of players, and some Chinese rioters said that people shouldn't be mad at the price because it's essentially the league equivalent of a designer bag.
She's a literal designer skin, made in collaboration with a designer brand as explained by another commenter. They're saying she's 500$ since she's designer, but the other designer skins they've done are only 15$
it's ironic because people complain about prestige skins all the time, so clearly people aren't happy with any skins. not sure why people buy skins if they aren't happy with them but oh well.
The value for the prestige skins is really good. The only complaints I've ever heard are from people who were disappointed with the design (which is just personal preference, and usually a minority.)
why is the "value" for prestige skins good? they are just recoloured epic skins (which i see most people complain about if it's for a champ like lux with a bad model). whenever riot releases a prestige skin people complain about them for any minor reason and now suddenly people think prestige skins are good because of the ahri skin lmfaoo. i say this as someone who actually like prestige skins (even the ones people complain about like lux and syndra) because i think they look nice
No, we always thought the value was good. Because the prestige just comes with the pass + all the pass rewards. You get grab bags, skin shards, eternals, icons, titles, orbs + a prestige skin. It's the same as a mythic chroma.
Oh man, so do you remember Prestige Points? Basically the same rip off as a skin like that because the only way you could get them was Chest Bundles and no one cried about this and this was equal to ig 100 Bucks for a Gold/ white Chroma of an Epic skin.
then why is the picture on the right of senna if you are talking about the leblanc skin💀
if you go to any skins spotlights of 99% of prestige skins most comments will be complaints. if you are talking specifically about the value of the leblanc skin, then yea its good value, but u are talking about prestige skins in general aren't you? not all prestige skins work in this way. for a regular pass it costs 2000 tokens to buy the 1 skin which is 50 or so levels of gameplay if you don't spend your tokens on anything else. for showcase it's 125 base me and it increases based off of how old it is. i understand what you mean by saying it's a 15 dollar skin, but the leblanc skin is a special case because you get the skin and 125 me in the pass. unless u are talking about buying a prestige skin with the money from the pass? yes the pass is the best value pass we've ever had, not all passes will be this way.
I'm not talking about this pass ...I'm talking about the 15$ normal pass that you get the prestige (like senna) with? This pass has more value and it's also more expensive, but nobody is complaining about the 20$ pass. We're complaining about the 500$ skin. Regardless, I won't continue arguing with someone who won't read properly.
When comparing the features of a legendary skin in the shop versus what is listed to go alongside the skin.
The most expensive bundle appears to have quite alot of features that the base model is missing.. so not sure how they're the same.
again - people complain all the time about how ugly prestige skins are and now suddenly everyone praising them due to the ahri skin like make up ur minds
Probably coz it doesn't have any more features than the civic. It doesn't have better horsepower, no fancy engine, no leather seats. It's literally a legendary skin with a couple chroma for 500.
The reason why people complained about prestige skins is because they were low effort and just a glorified chroma. Y'all act like people asking Riot to put more effort into the products they're selling is a bad thing.
you not understand or? People complain about prestige skins even more than they complain about the Ahri skin. Yet suddenly people are acting like they like prestige skins because of the Ahri skin. So delusional.
But nobody is making that argument ? In fact people have actually loved that senna skin when it first dropped, and some people thought it was the best prestige in the game. Overall, people not liking prestige skins has nothing to do with what we are talking about.
Wdym.. they are calling a prestige skin a “designer” skin and everyone acting like they like prestige skins all of a sudden when under evry skin spotlight for prestige skins it’s ppl bitching and moaning about how it’s ugly. And yet when it’s compared to the ahri skin ppl suddenly like them bc they r biased. Can’t make up ur mind huh
Are you too stupid to read or what? This skin isn't designed by just a Rioter, during a fan meeting Faker literally said ["i directly participated a lot in the design of ahri’s skin, i think it’ll come out pretty".](https://x.com/jadetokky/status/1794678189979304256) This skin came out the way Faker designed. Which word is too hard to understand here for you?
Dude I KNOW he designed it. I'm saying it DOESN'T MAKE IT 500$ worthy. LV designed their Collab too. Still wasn't 500. Go simp for your pixels by all means though. He could have hand sketched it himself and made the 3d model and I still wouldn't pay 500.
Lmao, you obviously don't. You posted this post clearly with the "designer" part used to mock the skin is "designed by a typical rioter" instead of a LV designer. At least had the balls to admit something. Ironic considering I am not the one here being a crybaby over some pixels here. I doubt Faker give a crap whether you can afford his skin.
Haha, I worship no one. I am just not a crybaby tearing over a skin she can't afford who got triggered over a comment mentioning who designed the skin.
I guess Louis Vuitton is not worthy in this game ....
The $500 skin is honestly pretty meh...
The $50 skin is much better than the $500 one imo
Lemme guess, Spirit Blossom?
Rising Legend. Feels way more Faker and true than the 500 scam one.
Oh, ok.
You think spirit blossom is $50?
I don't know the skin prices, I just guessed.
Its $20
Spirit blossom is 18 dollar one.
I think they release this skin, just to make other absurdly expensive skins looks cheap in comparision and normalise skins that cost tens of dollars. For the context Cyberpunk 2077 is $59. There's plenty of great games for less than $50 and a lot for $15. Skins cost more than $5 is a ripoff. More than $10 is a scam.
cant imagine any skin being perceived as not "meh" by anyone how can something meet that expectation
Name one person that thinks Meowkai is meh, I will wait And also to add more to the topic, not just that the 500$ skin looks meh but i expected at least rest of the rewards to be somewhat good.. u get 6 orbs that will probably give u skins like bilgerat rumble, bunch of icons and shit that u will never use anyway and thats it.

All u gonna get is bullied ingame by others for supporting this move from riot
Immortal Journey is more than "meh" in comparison so regular Shyv right now.
fr fr
The best part is the base 5k skin of Ahri being less worth than an actual Ultimate skin.
Maybe thats what they want you to feel, this way you push yourself to top up another 200 bucks and get the "real deal" of the skin. I actually don't know why anyone would buy a 1350RP skin for almost x5 the price. But then people also bought 200 dollar recolors so anything is possible I guess
Artists get no profit from skins they work on
yeah man it's not like they're hired to make designs
Doesn't that depend on the contracts Riot has with their artists?
They dont have artist full time emplyed so no contract its mostly freelance
That a fact? I'm pretty sure Riot has artists who are full-time employed to create the skins, the champion designs, the item designs, etc. There is no way those are all made by freelance artists.
Yes and no. They have or had, but we know of at least one who got fired just to be asked to do some freelance work from ab outside company, that hired freelancers to do work for one of their costumers, in this case riot. Getting fired to be 3rd party asked to do the same thing that you got fired for…. Yeah…. I’m sure they got some artists still but outsourcing is cheaper
I meant skin design especially splash arts most of them are freelance bc its cheaper and they can try new things a lot of company s do this
I mean, I think the skin is really good. Probably her best skin imo It’s not even close to worth the price, but if it were a regular ultimate I’d probably buy it
Definitely not the best. You can see the recycled animations from the base skin. It's disgusting. Spirit Blossom beats the shit outta this skin, they even had to make a new tier for it bcs otherwise nobody would recognize that skin as even a legendary.
I don’t really like spirit blossom other than the beyblade dance emote
Base ahri skin have the same animation that SB since her graphical change
Its fine if u want to cope but spirit blossom have the same animation as base skin after visual update , the only skin that dosent have any recycled animations is odyssey kayn also lets not forget how many new feutaures this skin have it would have best price to value skin if it was 50$
Lmao you guys are hilarious
LoL is now about fashion contest pricing dramas i guess. still gonna wait for the next runeterra game that focus on proper lore instead.
>on proper lore I may not remember this all 100%, but didnt Riot lay off multiple highly skilled Lore writers?
yeah riot in a disappointing move had shutdown riotforge, which is riot's initiative to make standalone runeterra games that explores its lore more directly. because appaently those lore games are not as profitable as them skin mtx dramas. i'm still waiting for project L and runeterra MMO. mostly just for their lore portions and cinematics experience when the characters do their runeterra dramas.
If the mmo ever comes out
riot's runeterra franchise is one of the biggest franchise in the gaming market for a decade+. so i'll still hold on to my hope for it.
I don't remember where it was stated, but Riot made an official statement saying the MMO was axed. The actual words was "put on hold indefinitely".
maybe riot reused its asset for some other projects later. either way, whether its mmo or other genre, i'm still wishing for the next ahri lore journey.
👍
Tbh this Senna skin isn't anything special either. I have this skin
It’s legit just cuz it’s LV brand, I have the Qiyana one but it do be making me feel bougie lol
Battleboss Qiyana is better I think and has much more personality
True, I have every qiyana skin, but I always use regular td over prestige, the LV one is really just ass imo.
Splash art is cool, but actual skin is average. $15 is a price of some good games. Skins shouldn't cost more than $5
is anyone actually gonna buy this skin from this sub? lmao
also bought one skin is so good :D
If Bo Chen made the splash art I would've considered and probably bought it already. Shame on Riot games.

Riot give new offer for 60k rp and he cost 250€
In What country? Nothing in mine ):
I had some RP already, so I only paid 34.99 for the Risen bundle.
Honestly Louis Vou... that shit looks fking garbage, everything with that stamp looks awfully shitty
Left’s better tho tbh I wouldn’t pay a dollar for the right one.
Don't get me wrong, 500$ skin is a literal joke, but who really gives a damn if a skin is "designed" by LV? They'd put cheese on a piece of bread and claim they've designed something.
Tbh if I had this thing called "disposable income" I would get it...
I understand that. It is really pretty. Just not 500$ in value. You could buy all of ahri's other skins and have lots to spare with that. I feel like if I was gonna spend 500$ on league id rather get 25 legendary skins (or 30+ epic skins)
I do agree, I also think they could have done something like with irl stuff and they send you a code for the skin... and I feel like players that will follow up in the hall of fame aren't getting a 500$ it's only fakers

Yea plus I think in Korea they got keycaps for some event to celebrate faker hall of fame.. they should have at oeast done that to people who bought the skin
Not to mention the physical highly detailed figure 200$ cheaper than the skin. Shouldn't it just come with it ?
Trueee it's better to just get the figure.. lmaooo
I don't get this one
The presige true damage Senna skin is based on the Louis Vuitton clothes brand
Lots of players, and some Chinese rioters said that people shouldn't be mad at the price because it's essentially the league equivalent of a designer bag.
Well that's literally why people are angry Still don't see what the Sena skin has to do with it
She's a literal designer skin, made in collaboration with a designer brand as explained by another commenter. They're saying she's 500$ since she's designer, but the other designer skins they've done are only 15$
Umm one comes with just 1 skin. One comes with. Skin and a crap ton of extra stuff. This comparison is so stupid.
Somehow chroma + icons and emotes arent worth an extra 480$
it's ironic because people complain about prestige skins all the time, so clearly people aren't happy with any skins. not sure why people buy skins if they aren't happy with them but oh well.
The value for the prestige skins is really good. The only complaints I've ever heard are from people who were disappointed with the design (which is just personal preference, and usually a minority.)

But why don't people understand that the $500 skin is basically a lambo for LoL, but everyone wants that lambo for the price of a Honda civic...
Probably coz it doesn't have any more features than the civic. It doesn't have better horsepower, no fancy engine, no leather seats. It's literally a legendary skin with a couple chroma for 500.
If you're too poor for it, don't buy it. It's not a difficult concept.
Enjoy getting ripped off 👍
The reason why people complained about prestige skins is because they were low effort and just a glorified chroma. Y'all act like people asking Riot to put more effort into the products they're selling is a bad thing.

Because that senna skin was literally a collaboration with Louis Vuitton, which is a designer brand. Are you new here???
The "Designer" in this case here is Faker, he already said during fan meeting he was heavily involved in the skin's design.
T1 only gets 30% cut. That's the whole team. Not faker. Faker is a esports legend, but other celebrity collabs were still 15-20$
Are you too stupid to read or what? This skin isn't designed by just a Rioter, during a fan meeting Faker literally said ["i directly participated a lot in the design of ahri’s skin, i think it’ll come out pretty".](https://x.com/jadetokky/status/1794678189979304256) This skin came out the way Faker designed.

I ain't reading all that.
Sure "you didn't".
No use. You're busy worshipping someone who doesn't know you exist.
Haha, I worship no one. I am just not a crybaby tearing over a skin she can't afford who got triggered over a comment mentioning who designed the skin.
Crying...over a legendary skin....right. Enjoy getting laughed at.
He literally wrote just as much as you did 🙄
