The Hall of Legends event in League of Legends has faced a significant amount of criticism, mainly due to the release of the Immortalized Legend Ahri skin. However, apart from that issue, the Hall of Legends battle pass associated with this event is considered one of the best we’ve had in a long time.
The controversial Hall of Legends Battle Pass
The most controversial event in League of Legends has to be the recent Hall of Legends. This event was created to celebrate Faker’s induction into the prestigious Hall of Fame, honoring his impressive career achievements that date back to 2013.
Despite the intentions, the event quickly faced backlash from players. The main reason for the dissatisfaction was the high price of the Immortalized Legend Ahri skin. This expensive skin overshadowed much of the event and became the primary point of criticism.
Nevertheless, the Hall of Legends battle pass stands out as one of the best we’ve ever received from the developers, both in terms of value and storytelling. The pass costs 1950 RP, offering great value for the price. It’s much cheaper than the Ahri skin bundles and provides a variety of rewards, along with a compelling narrative aspect.
The battle pass guides players through Faker’s journey as a professional player, sharing interesting facts about his first game, his first pentakill, and more.
Additionally, the pass rewards players with several SKT skins, all chosen by Faker during his victories at Worlds. These skins include SKT T1 Zed, Ryze, and Syndra, which alone are worth 3300 RP.
Moreover, players receive a substantial amount of Mythic Essence through the pass. Mythic Essence is used to buy rare cosmetics in the rotating shop. Normally, fully completing an entire event gives 100 Mythic Essence, but this pass alone provides 125, adding to its incredible value.
Furthermore, the pass includes many other bonuses such as emotes, banners, summoner icons, and orange essence, making it an even better deal.
What makes this battle pass even more appealing is that it is not as grindy as other seasonal events. The experience required to progress does not increase with each level, allowing players to quickly earn rewards through missions provided by the developers.
Unlike other seasonal events, this battle pass does not have a currency system. Although the currency system in events might seem beneficial, it actually limits the rewards players can obtain. This makes the Hall of Legends battle pass far superior.
Despite the controversy surrounding the Immortalized Legend Ahri skin, it is clear that the developers have done an excellent job with the battle pass for this event.
