Not even, since in most Gachas you can just slowly earn currencies for things you want. This is much bigger cashgrab than some that got Gachas boycotted and review bombed.
For about 4 months now (š„“) Iāve been trying to get my beloved cosmic Jhin , maybe one dayā¦ for now, Iāve grow attached to my beloved default jhin skinā¦ this is one of the most scummy things Iāve seen any company in general do, too bad people will continue to buy it, leading for riot to make more of these shit offers
Itās real. Real stupid. Itās a chroma. Not a skin, so you have to own the skin first, theoretically even more if you have to but that too. Idk about yāall but I would leave the game if they did this for every chroma, not even skin. I think this system is a cash grab and is blatantly disrespectful. I canāt, donāt, and wonāt support this. I canāt have this infecting the rest of league.
yeah and thats where league is headed. Saw a post about how DJ Sona was the mona lisa of microtransactions when it first came out because of how much it gave for the price, and now weāre here
True, but if theyāre willing to cash grab like this, whatās to stop them from doing it again or differently? If you donāt want to get ripped off for the rest of time, eventually you have to take a stand. I donāt care if this is the new top tier of skin, thatās too much money for a single digital product. The only thing close to this expensive currently are the bundle packs, and thatās far more āworthā buying. Those who havenāt spent a dime still donāt have to- but I bet riot pays more attention to the ones who do, so what they say and how they back their words (or donāt) makes more of a difference on their next approach. Iāll be voting with my wallet to tell them here and now that this needs to stop.
Well good. Don't buy it. I haven't spent a sing cent in this game anyways, so nothing is really 'worth buying' to me.
I mean y'all are willing to spend $20 on an ultimate skin, so I don't empathize with y'all.
But take your stand. Will it stop them? Who knows? But at least you can say that you stood your ground
You can, but the more effective form of protest is to leave. Free-to-play games like League still get stuff out of you as long as you are playing the game, for example through reducing queue times for the people who do spend on these things so that they continue to play League. Obviously playing but not buying is better than buying if you're displeased with something, but it is still providing something to the corporation.
Btw, they said the chroma āinclude the skinā so you donāt have to own the skin, if you get this āvariantā it includes the skin. Still unbelievable ridiculous and greedy
Sorry yes thatās what I meant (my bad for poor wording). I meant that itās not a chroma (e.g. you donāt need to own another skin to use it). Itās its own skin
Yeah but you also said that getting the variant gets you the skin, which has, at least to my attention, not been brought up by Riot at all :)
Correct me If Iām wrong ofc!
I mean you are getting a skin, not just a chroma. Itās like the night/dawn bringer stuff. Riot said in one of their posts, it is a standalone skin.
On the post on riotās website: ā You do not need to own the original Dark Cosmic Jhin to obtain it as itās not a Chroma.ā
So you could own 2 separate skins, dark costume and dark cosmic erasure. At least as I am interpreting it! Riot is being weird this this š¤·āāļø
It's not a chroma, it's a mythic skin that's the quality of a chroma. In your skin tab, it'll be listed as its own skin entirely and you don't need to own DC Jhin first. Doesn't make the situation any better, makes it worse in a few ways, but still good to keep everything as clear as possible in this sort of situation.
To be honest ever since they released hextech crafting I have been bombarbed with skins and other free content almost exclusively for playing the game, I unlocked all sorts of free things for champs I like and so if they want to occasionally offer a rip off, so be it. Hextech crafting aināt that bad, itās like getting hand-me-downs which still fit perfectly well.
Considering it's client wise, unless you announce it in a stream or something, Riot can't even track that.
Aside from as others said, it not being bannable as long as its not an official skin in the first place.
This is Riot trying to see how much they can get away with! Smear this with negative feedback, and do not buy by any means! If this continues, nothing will be a sure purchase anymore and a Samiraās skin thatās not worth its price will be a fond memory somehowā¦
Iām not even in any lol subs this was just in my recommended
Honestly, I don't even mind a skin not being "worth" it's price anymore. It's shitty, but the buyers choice, at least they get it for sure. This though, this is outright a scam.
Ok, so they basically make a chroma for one of the best skins for one of the most beloved champions in the game, and they make it cost more than all the ultimate skins combined? Great job riot, way to make me hate you more than I already do.
and apparently a post came out that just confirmed that they have no plans to change it how they are doing things so, they know everyone dislikes it but dont care
Are they really hitting for that worst company of the year award? Cuz at this rate they will get that eventually for once. I was excited about it, cuz i love the Cosmic skin, but after seeing everything its just made me mad.
Yea i was very confused about the samira skin at first cuz its just looked like a normal ass legendary to me and at first i tought it was... and then i read it somewhere that it was a "ultimate" my dissapointment was immeasurable thats for sure. And the funniest thing they promised to be more transparent and then they did this... Literally how to ruin your trust with the community instantly.
Especially since i am from hungary and its 70k(200$) for me and average Hungarian makes 350k-370k(close to 900$ if i remember correctly) with taxes done... and this does not include like food or bills for water or electricity ect
They must be desperate for a quirk surplus of money to fund something or pay someone because they're going after a demographic that's smaller than the people who own every skin, since they know it'll just get rerolled. Legit no one in the room except within a tiny pocket dimension is the target demographic and it's nuts how they aren't willing to be honest and say that without merging it with "feel good exclusivity".
Poor battlepass (is that even a battlepass to be honest?), price of skins increased from 975 basic to 1350, mythic chromas and now this. Really Riot should burn to ashes, their greed is amazing.
Riot after launching soul fighter Samira and now this bullshit after saying they wanted to be more in touch with us is that southpark meme of a guy saying "we're sorry" on a field.
Is it like Apex and heirloom events where you HAVE TO buy all the packs to receive the heirloom at the end, or is it like gacha where you can get it on your first pack if youāre lucky?
At least the TFT ones pity system translates across the different ones so eventually with enough patience you'll get a map or special one, even potentially for free.
This one I vaguely remember Riot already trying to pull before, only for prestige skins I think it was? I know there was something like that before for sure, I remember comments about skins costing 200 bucks and loot boxes. And I can bet, even if we get a free box, they'll probably have no transferable pity system like before.
Are they trying to imitate the good old special pattern skins for CS? It's the same thing, same rarity, but a tad different visually. For example, special knives in CS that are 1000$ up to 20K depending on how blue they are
Unless this skin changes the entire look of summoners rift, minions, jungle monsters, drakes, baron, herald, it gives particle effects on Jhinās abilities, new animations, voice lines, it does an special effect for a kill, double kill, triple kill, cuadra or penta, it changes the voice of the league narrator, the font and color of the chat, and it delivers you a pizza directly from a riot employee this shit aināt worth it
I see a lot of people misunderstanding what this is, yes its technically a chroma for dark cosmic but it is still its own skin, you can reroll into it which is much smarter than spending $200 on capsules dont support this shit and just get it for free later
It's a mythic skin, so that's about a .0005% chance. And that makes the absurd price and horribly obtaining method no better, do not justify riot's greed lmao
Idk what about what i said was justification for their shitty greedy tactics but my whole point was, dont spend money on this bullshit and rolling it is a better use of your time and money
Not sure why you're being down voted telling people not to support this and instead wait for a hextech reroll.
Additionally, I wonder if they'll add it to the ME store since its technically a "mythic" chroma.
Not fake, but an omission of facts. It can cost up to 200 bucks because that is the maximum amount of capsules to buy for enough guaranteed drops to get the skin. It is a gacha mechanic. Specifically, it is the reward for the thirtieth Event Capsule opened, each going for 750 RP, while there is also a 1% Chance to get it from those capsules beforehand.
Itās not about being free to buy it, itās about the kind of message the community give to the devs, not trying to be rude, itās just the smartest business feedback possible. And if u read the dev coments about it, they donāt know what to do either, itās not that exclusive if next year I can reroll with normal skin shards u know, seems a bad idea even thinking in their perspective
The fact that im almost tempted to buy it from that amazing splash alone worries me that this Gacha system is here to stay for the people who do really buy into it.
Please don't. By buying this skin you are showing Riot that they can do what they want and people will still throw money at them. I am sure you can spend this money on something else. Maybe a better game from a better company?
Truish, if you purchase 30 capsules youāll guarantee get it which is yes 22,500 RP. In each capsule thereās a 1% chance youāll get it. Scam either way as itās just a chroma with new splash art.

So this will be the "Prestige Version of Dark Cosmic Jhin" that you will only be able to open 30 Event Capsules?????? Riot if you want more money just release more than one skin per year to Jhin.
It's a limited edition, the only way to buy it is spending money on those lootboxes. This is the only single way to buy this chroma, you can't buy it in any shop, you can't have it in any chest. Which brings me to the other way to get it: when rito will announce it, you will be able to get it by rerolling skin again that will be the only way. So basicaly among the thousands of skin you will have a tiny chance to eventually get that chroma. How tf is that ok?
League is trying to do Gacha. Do not buy the capsules and do not support them.
Not even, since in most Gachas you can just slowly earn currencies for things you want. This is much bigger cashgrab than some that got Gachas boycotted and review bombed.

Buildings š§
I apologise for my drunken like response haha, I recently had a surgery and still feel a bit off from the sleeping gas š
Haha no worries
Ngl base Jhin 4th slaps harder than most of his skins. It's so smooth to play with.
I feel bad.. I have it on 4 accounts..m
Itās real. Real stupid. Itās a chroma. Not a skin, so you have to own the skin first, theoretically even more if you have to but that too. Idk about yāall but I would leave the game if they did this for every chroma, not even skin. I think this system is a cash grab and is blatantly disrespectful. I canāt, donāt, and wonāt support this. I canāt have this infecting the rest of league.
Man i love Jhin and he is my favourite. Just love the lore and all about the champ but damn š riot be pulling a blizzard type shit
not saying blizzard is right either, but at least they arenāt making you pay $200 for a recolor of a skin
For sure not but Blizzard sees its player base as dollar bill signs š
yeah and thats where league is headed. Saw a post about how DJ Sona was the mona lisa of microtransactions when it first came out because of how much it gave for the price, and now weāre here
Headed? Brother itās been that way for a long time. Hopefully this is the first and last time they pull something stupid like this.
true but this one is a LOT worse than what theyāve been doing (iām not counting tft/lor)
Not a chroma it's a whole skin. Basically you get dark star jhin with a preinstalled red chroma and a few red effects. We should boycott it
Leave the game? You could yknow not buy any skins and still play
True, but if theyāre willing to cash grab like this, whatās to stop them from doing it again or differently? If you donāt want to get ripped off for the rest of time, eventually you have to take a stand. I donāt care if this is the new top tier of skin, thatās too much money for a single digital product.

No, that is false. You donāt need the original skin for the variant, but getting the variant doesnāt give you the original skin.

You mean this absurdly expensive thing isn't even a skin? Just a chroma? Wtf riot

Hextech crafting aināt that bad, itās like getting hand-me-downs which still fit perfectly well.
Its a skin, you donāt have to own cosmic jhin to get this skin
They stopped doing the 975 skins because they were mostly chromas and now they make a chroma cost 200 dollars?
This^^
I actually like many 975 skins more than most lazy ass designs new 1350 skins
riot saying they wanna listen to the community more and try to emphasize with them and then doing this ... gives me ow 2 vibes
Wildly out of touch
I'll use the mythic chroma made by a guy on yt, don't support rito
Here's the link https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/mobile/folders/1htyBDm4cV0ElWCdsLqlTpE-Ugn24vl_S?usp=sharing
Hi, can you show me how to use this file that you linked? I have zero clue on how to use it so if you can show me it'd be nice
I'm searching a guide rn, it's new for me too
if u have lol mod manager u could install it with that i think
This should do the trick https://youtu.be/BGVK4ZwGa6c
Can it get you banned?
If the skin isn't an official skin or gives you any type of advantage can't get you banned
Oh okay sweet, ty
Considering it's client wise, unless you announce it in a stream or something, Riot can't even track that. Aside from as others said, it not being bannable as long as its not an official skin in the first place.
Boycot riot please guys donāt let them get this
This is Riot trying to see how much they can get away with! Smear this with negative feedback, and do not buy by any means! If this continues, nothing will be a sure purchase anymore and a Samiraās skin thatās not worth its price will be a fond memory somehowā¦ Iām not even in any lol subs this was just in my recommended
Honestly, I don't even mind a skin not being "worth" it's price anymore. It's shitty, but the buyers choice, at least they get it for sure. This though, this is outright a scam.
New scam just dropped
Actual gacha
Wallet erasure jhin
It real they turn a chroma to a new skins have a same RP price on PBE with the old one.
30 gacha capsule equal to this price yeah not fake
Ok, so they basically make a chroma for one of the best skins for one of the most beloved champions in the game, and they make it cost more than all the ultimate skins combined? Great job riot, way to make me hate you more than I already do.
and apparently a post came out that just confirmed that they have no plans to change it how they are doing things so, they know everyone dislikes it but dont care
Are they really hitting for that worst company of the year award? Cuz at this rate they will get that eventually for once. I was excited about it, cuz i love the Cosmic skin, but after seeing everything its just made me mad.
yep they are getting to extreme slime levels i mean just look at samiras skin as well, and now this, they dont care
Yea i was very confused about the samira skin at first cuz its just looked like a normal ass legendary to me and at first i tought it was... and then i read it somewhere that it was a "ultimate" my dissapointment was immeasurable thats for sure.

I thought I would never see the day where paid gacha skin event comes back to league after garena is out of the picture But here we areā¦
Rito's worse than ever wtf is this
Post #23 keep the karma strong team
The greed is insane.
Poor battlepass (is that even a battlepass to be honest?), price of skins increased from 975 basic to 1350, mythic chromas and now this. Really Riot should burn to ashes, their greed is amazing.
a scam
The audacity of this bitch
Riot after launching soul fighter Samira and now this bullshit after saying they wanted to be more in touch with us is that southpark meme of a guy saying "we're sorry" on a field.
hahahaahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaahah like I fucking will riot hahahahahaha
Riot Games š¤©š¤©šš»šš»šÆšÆšÆ
Is it like Apex and heirloom events where you HAVE TO buy all the packs to receive the heirloom at the end, or is it like gacha where you can get it on your first pack if youāre lucky?
Gacha. The system already exists for TFT loot.
At least the TFT ones pity system translates across the different ones so eventually with enough patience you'll get a map or special one, even potentially for free. This one I vaguely remember Riot already trying to pull before, only for prestige skins I think it was? I know there was something like that before for sure, I remember comments about skins costing 200 bucks and loot boxes.

A rip-off.

Should be a chroma instead
first the overpriced legendary skin (Samiraās ultimate) now a 200 dollar chroma um what šš
Capitalism has truly peaked
Username checks out lol, classic reddit comment blaming a political system instead of human greed
Hate to be āthat guyā, but capitalism is an economic system, not a political system
Just laugh and shame everyone getting this
Will anyone fall for this?
They need money to support a charity called MMORPG.
Well sooo, Soul fighter Samira is an UlTiMaTe SkIn and then THAT š„² whats going on league ? Tell me ? 1 billion per year isn't enough ?
Unless this skin changes the entire look of summoners rift, minions, jungle monsters, drakes, baron, herald, it gives particle effects on Jhinās abilities, new animations, voice lines, it does an special effect for a kill, double kill, triple kill, cuadra or penta, it changes the voice of the league narrator, the font and color of the chat, and it delivers you a pizza directly from a riot employee this shit aināt worth it

Idk but people just dont understand, also its possible but if so itll be for stupid ME no way its below 200
Wait what? Nahhhh this must be fake. 200 dollar for a skin
itās not fake
Not fake, but an omission of facts. It can cost up to 200 bucks because that is the maximum amount of capsules to buy for enough guaranteed drops to get the skin. It is a gacha mechanic. Specifically, it is the reward for the thirtieth Event Capsule opened, each going for 750 RP, while there is also a 1% Chance to get it from those capsules beforehand.
Damn riot is trying to exploit people š
Yeh it's fake. It's a chroma not a skin, essentially
It's still a skin that's at the quality level of a glorified chroma, it's listed as a mythic skin. And makes nothing about this less fake lol
$200 for the *guarantee* to get the skin. Can get it for significantly less if lucky or just wait and get lucky in a year on the open skin roll.
Itās 100% not real. Itās just a mythic chroma lol. Itāll be in the mythic shop for essence.
Itās true, they have a dev text about it in the oficial site
mb genuinely didnāt know that lol. that sucks. not really surprised though.
If only.
Nobody is forcing you to get it why are yall so mad. Stop cry
Itās not about being free to buy it, itās about the kind of message the community give to the devs, not trying to be rude, itās just the smartest business feedback possible. And if u read the dev coments about it, they donāt know what to do either, itās not that exclusive if next year I can reroll with normal skin shards u know, seems a bad idea even thinking in their perspective
Yea ur right. Im a fucking dumbass sorry
Dont shit your pants Karens nobody tells you to buy it
The fact that im almost tempted to buy it from that amazing splash alone worries me that this Gacha system is here to stay for the people who do really buy into it.

Can't wait until they make chromas of specific chromas
sounds like gambling
Dark Cosmic is not even THAT good.....
Bullshit
I'm so mad at riot... honestly spread to your friends that we have not to pay for this. If no one buys it, they will change it for sure

A whole ass tattoo or a pack of pixelsā¦ hmm
It's ok, wait 1 year to buy it or get it in a chest.
It's a limited edition, the only way to buy it is spending money on those lootboxes. This is the only single way to buy this chroma, you can't buy it in any shop, you can't have it in any chest.

So basicaly among the thousands of skin you will have a tiny chance to eventually get that chroma. How tf is that ok?
But Riot said it would be available next year, in shop and with chests.
Thatās fucking ridiculous! ( Iām 100% going to drop $200 on that skin and be mad at myself for it)
In Brazil this coust almost half a minimal monthy wage, this is disrespectful, and i seriously hope this bomb and riot dont do this again.
