The LoL players are dissatisfied with the new Prestige Skins. Many players believe that the Prestige Skins do not differ enough from the normal Skins.
What happened? The LoL developer Riot regularly provides the player base with new Prestige Skins. These are meant to be special and stand out from the normal Skins. Recently, the developers released the two Prestige Skins “Blood Moon Aatrox” and “Firecracker Vayne”.
However, many players now believe that Riot is releasing too many Prestige Skins and that they differ too little from the normal Skins. They demand that a Prestige Skin should once again be something special.
Skins are coming too frequently, lacking flair
This is the general problem: The player base no longer perceives the Prestige Skins as special. Earlier Skins like the K/DA Skins were presented with a song and a music video showing that a lot of time was invested in the cosmetics.
The new Skins seem to the players to be designed without much love.
This is what players criticize: The player “GeneralSecura” posted a thread on Reddit addressing the new Prestige Skins. “Blood Moon Aatrox” has no special features and its visual effects are the same as those of a normal Skin. It has simply been colored differently.
The Prestige Skin “Firecracker Vayne” is more on the right track regarding the effects, but still hardly differs from normal Skins.
In another Reddit post, players are already calling on Riot to limit the frequency of Prestige Skins releases to maintain their special status:
If the Prestige Skins are apparently being released every month, how is that “collector’s value” supposed to be maintained when they appear to become a norm?
Both posts received a lot of support from the community, with many players sharing the opinions of the authors.
This is how players want to solve it: In his post, “GeneralSecura” provides a suggestion on how Riot could have handled this situation better. He writes:
What Riot should have done is first complete the K/DA set. Release Prestige versions of Ahri and Evelynn. And then ONLY release Prestige versions of Skins that are really something special.
Under the post, some players discuss further solutions.
What do you think about the frequency of Prestige Skins?
The world champions of LoL also receive their Skins:
