League of Legends developers, Riot Games, have introduced a new RP bundle to cater to the new Legend Ahri skin, which players are calling “scam”
The newest and highly controversial skin has finally been added to League of Legends. The Immortalized Legend Ahri skin is part of the Hall of Legends event, celebrating the achievements of pro player Faker.
The skin itself is quite expensive, leading to frustration and anger among many players. The priciest version of the skin is only available through a bundle, which can cost over $500.
To address this, Riot has introduced a new bundle in the League of Legends client specifically for the skin, providing players who purchase it with a staggering 60,200 RP. This is the most expensive bundle ever released by the developers.
As highlighted by Spideraxe30 on Twitter, the bundle is priced at around $430 USD, making it a significant investment for those who want the new Ahri skin.
Players have not responded positively to this costly offering, with many labeling it “illegal” or a “scam.” One user even argued, “Genuinely, this should be illegal.”
Others criticized Riot for having no shame in releasing the new RP bundle, especially since it coincides with the release of the Ahri skin. Many players are continuing to encourage others to ban Ahri in protest.
With League of Legends developers introducing a new tier of skin specifically for Ahri, it is likely that this will not be the last time we see such high-priced cosmetics. This move potentially indicates a future trend where Riot invests more in premium cosmetics that only the wealthiest players can afford.
