Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
At this year's S14 World Finals, T1 once again made history by winning the World Championship as the fourth seed in the LCK, which also means that they will once again receive a set of championship skins.
At present, T1 players are still selecting heroes to make champion skins, and the person in charge of Riot skin also shared a story in the process.
We all know that after Faker won the championship at the end of last year, the question of the selection of its champion skin caused a lot of heated discussions, at first Faker confirmed that he chose the fox, and the players of the fox bar were very happy at that time, but I didn't expect Faker to change his words and become clockwork, which caused the players of the fox bar to be very uncomfortable for a while.
From the perspective of the audience at that time, Faker should have chosen the fox to make the champion skin, because in the earliest S3 season, Faker's fox created countless famous scenes, and the most famous operation of Faker fox at that time was to instantly kill the opponent's crispy skin in one R, and then the second R could be withdrawn, which gave people a very big visual impact.
After the result, Faker hinted to the audience that he would make a champion skin for Clockwork, and the fox might have other skins, combined with the revelations at the time, the audience guessed that it was possible that Faker would also get a commemorative skin, which was later confirmed to be a Hall of Fame skin.
The person in charge of Riot's skin also shared the story behind it, saying that Faker was very determined to ask for the fox's champion skin at that time, and the fox was one of his true love heroes, and Riot knew Faker's love for foxes, so he wanted to make a Hall of Fame skin for foxes.
At that time, Faker told Riot's skin manager that he was sure he wanted the fox's champion skin, and the skin manager asked him to think about it, such as clockwork or other heroes, Faker didn't agree, insisted on wanting the fox's champion skin, and Riot could only hint that Faker said that he planned to make other better skins for the fox next year.
In the end, Faker agreed to the idea of clockwork making the champion skin and then the fox making the Hall of Fame skin.
After this matter was made public, it also caused a certain amount of controversy, and many viewers called it outrageous, the outrageous point of this matter lies in the gap between the price and quality of Faker's two skins, the champion skin must be a regular price, which is acceptable to players, and the fox's Hall of Fame skin, more than 90% of players are unacceptable, more than 3000.
After the release of the fox skin, it was also boycotted by players, and players who like foxes are not very acceptable, from the shared version of the story, Faker also didn't know that the fox skin was so expensive, and the Riot side obviously made a decision for Faker, instead of telling the difference between the two skins and letting Faker choose.
Faker himself also said that players should do what they can when promoting the skin, because this skin is more expensive, and the players must not be involved in the pricing of the skin, and Riot will not communicate with the players about the price of this skin, in fact, to a large extent, Riot is using the name of Faker's first person to sell skins.
And I personally think that the quality of the skin of the Hall of Fame Fox is really not necessarily higher than that of clockwork, and the skin that costs more than 3,000 actually does not bring enough shock to players, in fact, there are no bright spots.
Compared to the previous surprise of players when the big elements were used, the Hall of Fame Fox didn't give much of a surprise.
Maybe Faker himself, knowing the difference between the two skins, will continue to insist that the fox be the champion skin, and the clockwork may be the Hall of Fame, but Riot is obviously following his own plan to persuade Faker, and the only reason is that Faker values the fox more, so he makes more expensive skins for the fox.
But more expensive doesn't necessarily mean better, and Faker's Hall of Fame skin design is a failure in every sense of the word.
