With every Arcane-themed skin being introduced to the game so far, Firelight Ekko is the only skin that left players with confusing.
League of Legends’ popularity has skyrocketed after Riot Games’ animated series, Arcane, which inspired the dev to create skins for characters in the series.
Jinx, Vi, Jayce, and Caitlin, with the primary role in the film has their own Arcane skins. Players didn’t even have to pay for it to get these limited-time skins because they could be obtained through playing and winning games.
As the series continues to make spotlight across the world, fans have been clamoring for Ekko to be given an Arcane-themed skin. Riot has delivered in the shape of Firelight Ekko, but some players aren’t thrilled with the price that comes with it.
On the r/leagueoflegends Reddit forum, one post that have seen surprisingly high upvotes, claiming the fact that the skin isn’t worth what they are paying for (1350 RP).
Fans criticize the developers for thinking Riot is trying to test how much value they can remove out of their systems and still charge players more money.
“Great visual effects. However there are no new sound effects on his basic attacks or abilities.”
“Based on our current guidelines and precedents on skin prices, this skin should have new SFX added (which I think Ekko mains would appreciate). Or it should simply be a 975 RP skin.”
With that many upvotes after only a day of uploading, it’s evident that fans agree about the price. Players also suggested that Ekko should wear his iconic owl mask shown from the show, with players able to toggle it on and off, much like Kai’sa or Rengar’s hood.
Still, however, it remains to be seen whether Riot responds to the forum and adds any new SFX, VFX or not.
