In a scathing post on the League subreddit, fans gathered together to blast the upcoming skins, which have been set at multiple ridiculous price points. Marketed as celebratory skins for Faker's induction into the Hall of Legends, Riot stunned the League community by setting bundle prices at a range of $40 to an outrageous $450. The Hall of Legends skins have been a huge talking point over the past week, with some players calling out Riot for taking advantage of Faker's popularity and treasured status as the greatest of all time to make even more money from an expensive skin bundle in his name. \"Almost every League player loves Faker, and would have loved to own the Ahri skin dedicated to him,\" the original poster said in the thread. \"Riot putting the full skin behind $600 paywall is the biggest insult imaginable to us. Riot chose to exploit our love for Faker for their own gain.\" Other people mocked the sentiment, saying the most expensive bundle in League's history is \"in honor\" of a player who barely uses skins in solo queue or on stage\u2014except for some accidental choices during champion select. Overall, fans are strongly against the new bundle and are convinced it's not even close to being worth buying. \"We get easily one of the worst deals in gaming, hiding behind the face of a beloved player,\" one user said in response. \"Most people won't buy this. In my country, the cheapest bundle is around the price of minimum wage or more. It makes me deeply disappointed, [and] I'd rather have just a T1 Ahri skin.\" The Faker Hall of Legends skins are set to go live in League on June 12.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Fakers-Ahri_c1dde0.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1245233"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1731"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1245233"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1245233\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1245398,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1245233\/revisions\/1245398"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1243826"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1245233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1245233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1245233"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1245233"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1245233"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1245233"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1245233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

The Hall of Legends skins have been a huge talking point over the past week, with some players calling out Riot for taking advantage of Faker’s popularity and treasured status as the greatest of all time to make even more money from an expensive skin bundle in his name.<\/p>

“Almost every League<\/em> player loves Faker, and would have loved to own the Ahri skin dedicated to him,” the original poster said in the thread. “Riot putting the full skin behind $600 paywall is the biggest insult imaginable to us. Riot chose to exploit our love for Faker for their own gain.”<\/p>
