Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.

Riot officially launched the second season of "Two Cities" this year, and it has now ushered in the finale, and also released several crossover skins during the broadcast of "Two Cities", including Jinx's new Templar skin.

However, after the release of this skin, it was boycotted by players, especially foreign players.

After Faker skin, Jinx was also boycotted

This year, Faker became the first person to be inducted into the Riot Hall of Fame, and then Riot made a fox skin for Faker for the Hall of Fame, priced at more than 3,000 yuan.

Players believe that Riot is using Faker's name to bring them huge benefits on their skins.

At that time, foreign players even launched a ranked event, BAN dropped the fox skin when playing ranking, so that players who had already purchased the Hall of Fame skin had no way to use it, and Faker himself did not use the skin, and the fox selected in the game would not use the skin.

And now Riot is doing it again, releasing Jinx's Sanctuary series skin, priced at 1760, although the price is not so expensive, but players are still quite dissatisfied, and opened the mode of verbal criticism and writing of Riot, first of all, the problem of pricing, Riot has begun to engage in more and more sky-high skins in the past two years, first the mythological fantasy series, and then the Hall of Fame Sanctuary, which are extremely expensive.

The ultimate skin is no more, and high-priced skins prevail

You must know that Riot's League of Legends was initially positioned as a game that did not need krypton gold to enhance combat power, and the skin was a game feature with ornamental attributes, and the price was relatively cheap, and the most expensive skin sold by Riot officially may be two or three hundred yuan, and the ultimate skin that was praised by players before was priced at 198.

Although the quality of the ultimate skin is uneven, I don't know how much better it is compared to these sky-high skins that Riot is engaged in now, so a large number of foreign players complain that Riot has forgotten its original intention.

And after the Faker skin was boycotted, Riot still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and launched this Jinx skin again, where players made a wave of horizontal comparisons between Jinx and the ultimate skin of the Great Elemental, and it turned out that the quality of the Great Elemental made the Sanctuary of Jinx was not on the same level at all.

Templar Jinx has three forms, and the Great Elemental has 10 forms, so there is a huge difference in design difficulty, so many players joke that if the Great Elemental is sold today, it is estimated that the price will be more expensive than Faker's.

Behind the sky-high price of skins, the fist approach is puzzling

The two seasons of "Battle of Two Cities" took 9 years to produce, and Riot spent a lot of money, spending a total of $100 million on 9 episodes in the second season, presenting this sincere work to the audience, and it was also recognized by the audience, and Riot also lost a lot of money behind it, so many players think that Riot may want to earn more money by increasing the price of the skin.

But I personally think that the high price of the skin does not mean that it will make money, the skin that costs thousands or thousands of skins, its audience is obviously a minority, one person buys the Jinx skin is 1760, but if the price of Jinx is 198, there may be 10 players to buy, then the price of selling is close to the level of 2,000 yuan.

Especially when players are resisting, the number of people who buy skins will also decrease, which is the most confusing part of Riot.

There is also the fact that Riot seems to be reluctant to do the ultimate skin series anymore, because it is difficult for Riot to invest as much as before just to make a skin, and the time it may take to make an ultimate skin can already make several assembly line skins, so it can only be said that the current Fist is indeed different from before.
