The League of Legends<\/em> community stood divided while debating the announcement of the game’s most expensive skin bundle, and Riot Games has finally responded to the community’s backlash.<\/p>
“There’s a good opportunity to both celebrate iconic pro players and help cover the costs of esports,” Head of League<\/a><\/em> Studio Andrei \u201cMeddler\u201d van Roon said on Reddit<\/a>, emphasizing the fact that Faker’s cosmetic sales would contribute profoundly toward the sustainability of the esports ecosystem.<\/p>

According to Riot, esports<\/a> mainly drives its funds from a “mixture of sponsorships and in-game cosmetic sales,” and this event, Hall of Legends, was a “good opportunity” to experiment with the dedicated event of Hall of Legends<\/a>. This “tailored content” was an excellent way to do that.<\/p>
With League <\/em>Patch 14.12<\/a> rolling out on the official servers, players and skin enthusiasts will have their hands on the most expensive cosmetic bundle, Hall of Legends<\/a>, with Faker leading the charge for the first esports personality cosmetic, a matter of pride for the entire gaming ecosystem. However, with the highly prized and priced skins, the community felt alienated<\/a> as most people couldn’t afford to get their hands on the cosmetics to celebrate their favorite esports icon.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
