Players are thrilled to see Faker honored in League of Legends history, with skins celebrating his iconic plays and champions. However, they are not happy about the high prices of the bundles that come with his cosmetics.
Faker Hall of Legends skins are way too expensive
The basic Hall of Legends pass is available for 1950 RP, which is about $15, and allows players to unlock various skins through the event. However, the most expensive bundles are the priciest cosmetics ever in League of Legends.
This premium pass includes the entire Battle Pass, fully leveled to 100, as well as Chromas for Faker’s previous T1 Worlds skins (Ryze, Syndra, Zed), enhancements for the Ahri skin, a special title, Faker’s signature on the splash arts, a unique “structure finisher” animation, and many other rewards.
Despite the variety of cosmetics for fans of Faker, the cost is steep: 59260 RP, or around $450. There is a cheaper tier that still includes the Immortalized Legend Ahri skin, but even that costs 32430 RP, meaning you would need to spend at least $250 to obtain it. This version of the skin does not include Faker’s signature on the splash art, making it feel incomplete.
Additionally, these cosmetics will only be available during this event, with no plans to add them to the game’s loot pool or bring them back in the future, according to the developers.
Players are strongly against the high prices, calling them a “scam” and saying they are overpriced. Jankos, another professional League of Legends player, also commented that the skins seem “a bit pricey.”
The skins are so expensive that Riot Games plans to introduce limited-time RP bundles that will let players purchase each bundle option fully. These bundles might make it cheaper to buy all the skins at once compared to current prices in the live client.
This situation has led many of fans to question why Riot would place so many cosmetics behind a paywall to represent Faker’s legacy. However, Riot explained the pricing in their FAQ.
“For the more casual fan, we have some of our most generous bundles to date. The Hall of Legends Pass includes multiple skins (including Risen Legend LeBlanc), emotes, and more, while the Risen Legend Collection adds the new Risen Legend Ahri skin for collectors to enjoy,”
Regarding the most expensive bundles, Riot claims the price is justified because the cosmetics are “highly commemorative, with never-before-implemented features.”
