League of Legends is a classic free-to-play game, and Riot mainly funds it with cosmetic content like skins. Now, a new gacha skin type has been released, and Riot is immediately announcing the next skin, which the community does not like at all.
What is the new skin type? In connection with Arcane Season 2, Riot also announced a new type of skin. The Exalted skins are a new premium form of skins that can only be obtained through a new gacha system. A pull costs €3.50. With 80 pulls, you are guaranteed to receive the skin, which would cost around 32,000 RP or approximately €240 with the cheapest bundle option.
However, the Jinx skin was already criticized by many parts of the community. The new effects and forms are said not to be worth the money. On December 11, 2024, the first Exalted skin was released on the live servers, and Riot is immediately announcing the next skin, which is also receiving a lot of criticism.
New gacha skin does not satisfy the players
Which skin is it about? Following Arcane Fractured Jinx, the next Exalted skin is already on the way. This time Sett receives the Radiant Serpent skin, and it is also supposed to offer new effects again. You should be able to choose from 3 color schemes in the match itself, and all his abilities will feature new animations and effects, fitting for a snake (via YouTube).
But many players find the skin not worth the money and even compare it to a €20 skin that is supposed to offer more content. In a recent reddit post, the entire topic is being discussed.
- Amon 024 (via reddit) compares the skin to Elementalist Lux. The Ultimate Skin from 2016 costs around €20 and has several unique effects, multiple forms, and even transformations.
- Gontha (via reddit) doesn’t care about the skins. He has stopped buying and using skins and enjoys the game more.
- Caesaria_Tertia (via reddit) is bothered by the fact that so shortly after the first Exalted skin, the next one appears. He believes that the quality of other skins might suffer.
Some users also compare the skin to Faker’s expensive Ahri skin. Although it was more expensive, players claim it offered more effects and better quality.
The new Exalted skin and the new Noxus skins are expected to launch on the live servers at the beginning of next year. However, players will be able to preview the new cosmetics on the test server beforehand. The new year will not only bring new cosmetics but also a new jungle monster appearing in the Rift: LoL: 2025 introduces a new jungle monster that will make you collect the remnants of your opponents
