In League of Legends, the household peace is faltering. Riot Games wants to honor the best LoL player, Faker, and has developed an incredibly expensive skin, involving him in the profits. But the players only see the huge price tag and come up with a plan: If they ban the champion Ahri in every game, no one can play the skin either. This will force Riot to lower the price.
What kind of skin is it?
- The South Korean mid-laner Faker, who always plays without cosmetic skins, won the World Championship in 2023 and was able to choose a skin like every world champion. He had all the champs available that he had played in the Worlds. He ultimately chose Orianna. The fans were disappointed: They had hoped he would pick the sexy fox champion Ahri.
- Now Faker is not just anyone; he has been the most well-known and successful LoL player since 2013, which is why he is being particularly honored by Riot Games in 2024 and will be the first inducted into the new Hall of Legends, a hall of fame.
- In his honor, there is also a particularly great but also expensive skin: It is supposed to cost $430. From the revenue, Faker will receive 30%. And of course, it was a skin for Ahri.
Players complain about Riot Games and their greed
This is the reaction of the players: As you can imagine, the excitement is great. The forums and Twitter are ablaze. People are really angry that there is such a cool skin, but it financially exceeds all previous limits.
The players have now come together and want to express their protest.
Their plan is: They want to automatically ban Ahri in every game they participate in.
“If I can’t have it, no one should have it!”
This is their plan: One player reveals the logic behind it: “If I can’t have it, no one should have it!”
Angry Ahri mains are also announcing on Reddit: The best way to rebel is to boycott Ahri.
One user says it is simply an outrage that Riot is selling a skin bundle that costs as much as half a month’s salary.
Ahri must now be banned in every game. Then the whales will never be able to enjoy the skin if they are never allowed to play Ahri, and Riot will be forced to make the skin cheaper. This has worked before. Let’s get Ahri’s ban rate to 100%. The players have a lot to do; currently, Ahri has a ban rate of 8%.
In this article, we have discussed the skin itself and the immediate reactions to the expensive Ahri on MeinMMO: LoL: Anyone wanting Faker’s new skin that everyone has been waiting for has to pay 450 €.
