Riot Games has once again ventured into premium skins by introducing a new Mythic Variant Skin, this time requiring players to invest $200 in capsules to obtain it. This latest controversy revolves around the recently unveiled Breakout True Damage Ekko Mythic Variant Skin.
The initial source of player discontent emerged with the release of the Dark Cosmic Erasure Jhin Mythic Variant Skin, a cosmetic choice that garnered widespread disapproval.
Essentially, it was perceived as nothing more than an elaborate Chroma version of the popular Dark Cosmic Jhin skin. To make matters worse, acquiring the Mythic Variant skin entailed opening a staggering 30 Dark Cosmic Erasure 2023 Capsules. Given that each of these capsules carried a price tag of 750 Riot Points (RP), obtaining the skin translated to an exorbitant expenditure of 22,500 RP or an equivalent of $200 in capsule purchases.
In a familiar fashion, the Breakout True Damage Ekko Mythic Variant Skin follows in the footsteps of its predecessor. This recurrence of the Mythic Variant label inherently underscores the issue surrounding this skin, which remains a premium offering at the $200 price point. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that some players continue to invest in such skins despite the ongoing debate surrounding their value.
Securing the Breakout True Damage Ekko Mythic Variant Skin necessitates players to successfully complete all the Breakout 2023 Capsule milestones. These milestones encompass a total of 8 objectives within the Breakout 2023 Capsule, and players are rewarded with the Mythic Variant skin only upon the accomplishment of all 8 milestones.

Within the Breakout 2023 True Damage Capsule Rewards, each individual capsule not only contains skin shards but also presents an opportunity to acquire the new “Music Grab Bag” or the “Breakout True Damage Ekko” skin itself. It is important to note that “Music Skins” encapsulate any of the skins affiliated with musical groups such as K/DA, Pentakill, True Damage, and the recently unveiled Heartsteel, thereby expanding the appeal and thematic range of these premium cosmetic offerings.
The capsule event will begin on Wednesday, November 8, 2023 and will last until Wednesday, December 6, 2023.
