How a $499.99 Skin Changed League of Legends
League of Legends is one of the big reasons why games today are all monetized by selling "skins". When League came out over a decade ago with skins costing a handful of dollars, no one would've thought that 15 years later players would be spending $500 dollars on just one skin for one champion. But, here we are.
Immortalized Legend Ahri is now the most expensive skin the game, existing as an honor to the pro player Faker.
But if you want to honor him, you better have a lot of money to spend on pixels.

    I remember when I started playing LoL in 2011. I was ranked Iron 2 and I was super happy. "I wasn't ranked in the lowest rank, this must mean I'm good! 🤠 How many ranks are above me? 😢" That season, I ended up in Silver and would reach Gold until 2014 when I stopped playing. Then, I started playing Wild Rift in 2021 and I've been playing casually in ranked Diamond since 2022. I could climb higher, but I'm 29 and life doesn't leave me enough time to climb more each season. Plus emerald is full of trolls, fragile ego and afk players.

    if i was playing lol and would be an ahri main, id buy the skin und use it all the time to spite all the fools trying to revolt. if i was playing in championships id sure as hell would use it. these ppl are rich af, $400 is pocket change for them. but i dont even play lol, so meh. lots of noise for nothing, as always. ppl even forgot about the taiwan controversy, so this will be forgotten soon too.

    everyone who complains about a skin is simply worthless scum. its a competitive free2play game with not a single pay2win feature, where you keep getting skins thrown at your face. like i never paid for anything since hextech came out and my skin collection was never that big. i even got that udyr skin. literally just dont buy it and let other people pay for the servers you are playing on for free. wtf is the problem? i would never spend that money on a skin, do you know what i do? i move on cuz it doesnt change anything in my life. also i dont even wanna know how many of you idiots already spend more than that amount on the game. or other worthless garbage. we all throw money away, some idiots can simply afford wasting more than you idiots.

    0:50 this is Too Easy Question... Males are Dominant and Overall BETTER in Every Game No Competition so its obvious that there will be no females able to be even compared to pro players (only males) 0:55 this sexistic idea is hilariously funny and they arent allowed not because sexism but cause they arent good enough 1:33 well this is one of the BIGGEST JOKES and most funny ones i ever heard 1:55 Males: Tournaments, Championships, World Cups Females: playground, kids room... 4:05 males speedrunned victory against females it wasnt about if males won (that was obvious) but how fast they can beat females (hilarious) 5:40 when females get WR for being worst, thats really the point where saying that females are better in games is REALLY SEXISTIC 5:45 like i sayd, males speedrunned vic against weak wEmen and they finally did it under 13min GG (another L for wEmen) 7:48 normal guy would remove female team from league after 1, 2 or 0 games (mostly 0 cause normal guy who knows that pro play is that females will never be at hight level of gaming) 8:20 yea we know simps exist... 9:12 yea if u put 4 TOP PLAYERS they can handle one female and playing 4 vs 5 (with female being as that missing piece) 9:36 supporter... of course (i would imagine females in league playing only these types of stuff lmao)

    fvcking riot is using top player to cash grab community and get greedy as possible fvcking discusting 6:08 i dont think ANY % of sales are coming to Faker if he gets something, it will be less than 10% (average riot moment) question is, when will we found out about how riot fvcked things up Even More, cause what else would riot do? add woke canc3r "clove" into valorant (Female character but riot doesnt know SHE is FEMALE so they are banning for saying word "SHE") adding greedy expensive skins and profiting of player (top player) then riot released that statue (just another riot moment) waiting for next season, month of anytime when riot releases pack of these sking (lets say 4 at least) well... riots deserved downfall will be AMAZING to watch
