<div class="legacy-vbulletin"> <div class="article-body"> <p>Hey Summoners,</p><p>Last April, we lowered the price on 79 skins and raised the price on 17 others to solidify our new skin pricing tiers. Though a primary goal of this skin price restructuring was to more uniformly correlate the effort put into skins with their cost, since the repricing it's become obvious that a few of our skins were in tiers that didn't make sense to you guys.</p><p>We realize that any two skins which received the same amount of effort won't always reflect that work identically in the final product. For instance, although Frostblade Irelia's particle effects took about the same amount of work as Arcade Sona's, they are far more subtle and therefore not valued as highly by players.</p><p>We've decided that skin pricing would make more sense to you guys if it's based not only on effort spent, but also on how obviously that effort is shown in the finished skin. With this in mind, we're adjusting the prices of the following skins:</p><ul><li>Armor of the Fifth Age Taric - now <strong>750 RP</strong> (formerly <strong>975 RP</strong> </li><li>Frostblade Irelia - now<strong> 975 RP</strong> (formerly <strong>1350 RP</strong> </li><li>Wildfire Zyra - now <strong>975 RP</strong> (formerly <strong>1350 RP</strong> </li></ul><p>These changes are effective immediately. Summoners who have purchased any of these skins in the past two weeks will automatically receive a refund for the price difference.</p><p>We aren't planning on any additional skin price adjustments but will be taking this new criterion into account when pricing our new skins. Of course, the "obviousness of effort" metric is highly subjective, and I know many of you will feel that certain skins should also be adjusted. Unfortunately this is the downside of implementing another level of subjectivity. But in general we feel that this additional evaluation will help us to align our pricing with your expectations.</p><p>-WC</p> <style type="text/css"> .article-body .region-na, .article-body .region-br, .article-body .region-eune, .article-body .region-euw, .article-body .region-tr { display:none; } </style> </div> </div>
