In recognition of his unparalleled achievements in League of Legends, Faker, widely regarded as the game's greatest player, has been enshrined in the prestigious League of Legends: Hall of Legends.
Riot has unveiled this tribute to his exceptional career, accompanied by exciting in-game celebrations and the introduction of new Faker-themed skins for LeBlanc and Ahri.
Players and fans alike can anticipate the release of these highly anticipated Faker skins, with the Ahri skin featuring two distinct versions that can be enhanced through gameplay.
Event Release Date
The event, set to launch alongside League of Legends Patch 14.12 in June 2024, promises to be a fitting homage to Faker's enduring legacy and contributions to the game.
How are the players reacting to this?
The standard Hall of Legends pass comes at a price of 1950 RP (approximately $15), offering a basic selection of content. However, for those seeking a more comprehensive collection, an upgraded tier is available at 32430 RP (roughly $50).
For players aiming to acquire all available cosmetics, the total expenditure amounts to 59260 RP (about $450), providing access to an extensive array of skins, albeit at a considerable cost.
However, players are already outraged at the absurdly priced skins and have addressed this across multiple social media platforms, such as Reddit and X (Formerly Twitter).
Some players are calling it a total "scam," while others are planning to ban Ahri altogether.
Numerous commenters echoed this sentiment, noting that the full bundle's price could amount to an entire month's salary in certain regions. For context, $400 could cover a week's rent in many areas or sustain several months' worth of electricity expenses.
When considering the various necessities and luxuries one could afford with $400, such as groceries, fuel, educational expenses, or thoughtful gifts, the expenditure on a virtual Ahri skin, even one honoring Faker, may seem extravagant and impractical to some.
As the event is yet to go live, Riot has enough time to turn things around, as this backlash could result in a huge disaster and a decrease in player numbers.
Remember, players are already outraged by the intrusive Vanguard implementation. To say Riot is walking on thin ice would be a definite understatement.
