TL:DR
Riot is going to have an $1,000 skin in the future.
não compre, simples
@@semnome6761 that was the reason for the boycott.
Sorry if it's not translated 😅
Never going to happen, minimum $2,000.00, no less.
Yeah because why not. As long as some idiots don't mind. Make it 100 000 to see if there is a limit.
Yeah, and they'll probably find a way to setup their own payment plan option while they're at it.
It's still mind-blowing hilarious that the statue of the skin is cheaper than the digital skin
Don't get them ideas.
Yea best not to.
The statue should come with a code for the skin! That would be a much better way to resolve the expensive cost problem. I know Riot is just utilizing the attention they get from China and Korea, but it still sucks for everyone else that they'd charge so much for a skin.
after shipping cost it ain't
Its literally not that bad if u compare this to diablo 4 100$ game with 100$dlc and 100$ horse skin 😂 copium
League players are not known for their teamwork.
Facts💀
And Riot knows this. They have the data
and even if it worked riot wouldn't care, Tencent got em by the balls
4:40 peak of lack teamworks
At least we tried. :/
China and Korea players are known for just throwing money at pay to win stuff so a 500 dollar skin is the same as a 500 dollar gacha pull to them
It's better than a $500 Gacha pull. At least you get what you want for sure. 😅
The west have Gacha, too. Look at them Fifa community
Nah it's worse then quite a few gachas because pity, but because many gacha characters for the more successful gachas they sell you a character off of new features or power creep, but this ahri skin is just cosmics which is much less then a new character released in a popular gacha this year. Even riot awful and dumb gacha mythic chroma skins in capsules were less then this if you fail every possibly time.
Nah, not better. Gacha games all have some kind of pity system. @@Muse392
Its not really players of games only. Search for James Harden sells out wine.
People keep forgetting that China has 1.4 billion people. Put it into a bell curve on income and the top 10% is 140 million people.
Basically everybody knew it'd end after 2 weeks. People just don't care enough about things in large enough numbers to get things like this to move along. Even Riot knew this and extended the event to try and keep interest alive.
Was hoping to see a movement like with what happened with Sonics design in the movie Paramount made but sadly no such case
i just left the game lol
@something-_-6927 people simply have bigger problems to worry about outside of games, theres a reason most of the community never even bothers to interact with others in it, if even at all keep up with whatever is happening with the game outside of seeing it whenever they play
Oh did they extend it? I thought it was almost over and then noticed it still had 4 weeks left
@@something-_-6927 LOL hold the power? The "community" you know of probably doesn't add up to 25% of the active player base
It was never gonna last, Gamers and Boycotts are just 2 things that never go together lol
They never were together in this case, people were just banning ahri so they could pretend they were doing something. Not giving riot any money in league or their other games is too hard
@@COIN_a no, we were banning ahri so the people who bought the skin cant play it, it was literally the best feeling ever. It was never going to stop the sales, NPCs will consume no matter what happens
@@johnnymonsterrrr "it was literally the best feeling ever" what a loser
@@johnnymonsterrrr Good job, you annoyed some ahri players in half of the game modes
boycotting in this form never stays for long, but boycotting star wars/assassin's creed games for example ? it's easy, I just stopped buying them all together
but banning my main every game is not something I would do for the rest of my life
One of the main reasons his skin actually sold well was because it was Faker. If riot pulls the same price tag with any other pro the numbers will be significantly lower
they shoulda done this so long ago tbh. i mean ik they had the team skins for winning worlds and such, but imagine prime league in NA if they added a bjerg skin, or dunky skin, something like what fortnite does
any chinese player will sale well too
I do not want to be that guy but the only way to boycott a game is by literally not playing it. The whole not picking a champion and expecting to actually change something by doing it is wierd because it would take basically years to actually affect something. At the end of the day its just a game and not consuming it is probably the most damage you can do to it
ninguém vai parar de jogar cara, para com esses desvaneios
Yeah, I've dropped the game over this. It really sucks what riots doing and I'm not supporting them anymore
@@_nainportequoi_7032 Good bye!
Lmfao how does this skin affect your experience with the game. Nothing changes, it's cosmetic. People will only start caring when the game becomes pay to win.
Not only that but anyone who didnt know about the skin or faker now does - this event is what got my partner talking about league again to the point i asked to play it with them for another game we can play together. All it did was bring in a player.
My whole problem with this skin line is not only how the quality of this skin is nothing new but the visual polution it brings when other skins "got nerfed" because of said "visual polution" and here's some examples.
Morgana's old Ghost bride skin had tiny spirits hovering around her dress on idle animations from time to time and the dress itself was more of a ghost instead of just old dress.
Blackthorn Morgana's walking animation AND skills left a trail of leaves.
Almost every Brand skin got visual nerfs on skill shots.
Some Lee Sin Skins got visual nerfs for no reason at all.
Some skins lost unique recalls some for no reason and other after rework like the most recent Guardian of the sands Skarner.
This shit is going on for a while, we are receiving worse skins with less features priced at higher tiers.
Remember Samira, a glorified epic priced as ultimate? (Yes, she hasn't even have unique animations, she is a epic with bunch of other legendaries' features)
@@xerisu that + seraphine's skin bundle priced as an ultimate :(
Banning a champion is a joke not a boycott, a real boycott would be not playing the game
Nah, a boycott would be not buying. Obviously, enough people are keen to pay. I uninstalled.
Clearly you don't understand how many people play the game. You would need at least 50% to stop playing.
@@fulgerion Yes, you're right and my point still stands
🙋that's me. Uninstalled after the first announcement.
@@miguelcamacho105 Good job hopefully you can stay that way and don't pull out a comment after 6 months "I have been gone from LOL for a half year just got back and wanted to see what's happening with Worlds"
Ban records still held by s3 kassadin of about 90% for a whole season and that initial week of everyone getting a ban where Zac was apparently hitting over 100% ban rate
I think Samira had a +100% ban rate for her first few months.
Aphelios have 200% ban rate, lol
I dont think you understand how percentages work
@@davidpavel5017these percentages are correct, though?
@@nynx. I dont see how could a champion hit banrates *over 100%*
You gotta be rich or addicted to this game to spend 500 dollars on a skin
incorrect. you ONLY have to be addicted. even if you are poor, people still buy this
@@Dr.AvenVon if anything, this makes you realize how much of a shit state the world has gone to
There's a reason why people are poor.
Addiction, mindless consuming
@@echorealtz2157 yeah, it's all just addiction. There's no one who's in a tough economic situation due to any other factors at all. They just spend too much. Frickin 🤡
It took me 5-6 days to get to level 100 of the battle pass, riot also kind of fucked people on that end too, because everyone thought "OMG 100 levels! that's gonna be a grind! Maybe its better that I buy those 100 free levels as well". When in fact riot actually gives you super easy missions to complete which literally rewards you 8-10 free levels per mission completed. This was the easiest battle pass to complete of all the battle passes so far.
Taking loans for a skin?!! Man the LoL playerbase really has some of the biggest smooth brains out there 😂
Nothing special today
look at "gacha" games
I think it has been shown that it is not mostly wealthy people who whale on stuff like this but other poor people who have poor decision making. Basically it is ordinary people who spend thousands of dollars on items like this. In fact this is small potatoes compared to gacha games where people can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and destroy their future doing so. I personally am fine with it since stupid people are parting with their money but the only thing I am worried about is that tax dollars will be spent supporting these fools after they ruin their lives.
@@AzureDrag0n1 Eh, where did you get the stats from? I bet the majority of buyers are just middle income with some spare changes. It's not gonna be enough to ruin their life, lol.
@@sanji663but gatcha players were already dumb
@@sanji663 its the fact that they NEED to take a loan out for smth like 450. Smth else is going on with their lives if they need a loan for that amount
All the Ahri boycotts in the West stood no chance when Chinese and Korean gamers bought that package by the millions.
That “single region” is more than ten times larger than the rest of the entire regions combined, by the way.
TLDR: the biggest market didnt give a single f
That's like saying the rich would stop buying mansions because the poor can't afford them, people are fucking delusional.
The next boycott will be even better!
Yes, the next one is gonna last 3 weeks instead of 2!!!
No it won’t
It will come when the 5000$ kaisa/yone skin comes
@@Razor1331 Imagine next year skin supose to be 1000$.
Not so sure. The next one will not be Faker.
Surely now Riot's going to use that money to make the game a better experience all around and NOT just get another few bilgewater brews!
They do. They fund Legend of Runeterra and Arcane with these money.
@@redbone9553 arcane is pretty successful on its own. I'm pretty sure season 1 easily funded season 2
@@redbone9553 oh so their gonna be hiring back the 11% of the Riot Employees that got laid off in February bc of "budget cuts"?
@@redbone9553 LoR barely get any funds, now, lol. You better off said 2xko and their MMO
@@pokemonsprite100 Obviously not. The fact that Riot is willing to sell a skin at 500 dollars shows how greedy the company is.
That being said, Riot IS spending money on Arcane and LoR. The former, during season 1, from what is told to us and what is estimated, cost up to 100 million to produce while the latter, according to Riot, isn't exactly a profitable game.
Riot has to make money from somewhere to fund some of these things and the Ahri skin is without a doubt, one of them.
Realistically (and obviously) the ban rate “boycott” of Ahri wasn’t going to do much other than not let anyone see the skin in action. But people can still just buy the skin whether it was the $50 or $500. The data to show how much money is made is the important thing to boycott
Didn’t even do that. That ban rate is nothing. I doubt the buyers noticed.
@@zat1245 I don’t think anyone really noticed because it doesn’t do anything substantial other than Riot seeing the ban rate shoot up and went on with their day
It would have if all place did. This. But they didn't and 35% was way too low.
Ye.. I just switched back to learn midlane and Ahri and was just annoyed that most of the time she was banned. I don’t own or was thinking about buying her new skins. It’s almost a year worth of tuition fees for my university and just thinking about it makes me mad that they charge such an expensive price for a digital skin
@@seidenfuchs Sorry to hear that but at least her ban rate drop down so that aspect is better
Just add the statue to the bundle and everyone is happy.
There's a statue!?
@@PsychoDiesel48yes. And it’s cheaper than the skin. The statue costs 325

The most meta Faker skin would've been just been an alternate angle of the default skin at $5.
It just replaces Ahri with Faker ingame 😂

Yo, that music with the graph was so good!
0:47 "on the last episode of dragon ball" 😂
see you guys next year when a skin costs 1000 dollars 😔
They didn't complain to a skin priced as $15 or $60 a price of a full actual game but when a $500 skin comes out then they complain. It make sense for their brainrot.
TBH I saw very few Ahri bans and not a single Immortalized Legend Ahri in my games. I saw a few Risen Legend ones on Arena just after release, but that's it. I saw a few Leblancs here and there, probably folks who bought the normal pass
I just saw an immortalized ahri yesterday for the first time in my game. she got flamed and bullied in lane.
@@quinevere That makes me happy lol
I saw an Immortalized Ahri an hour after the event first started, and she immediately was flamed and hunted down by my entire team for duration of the game.

in other words, everything wrong with microtransactions becoming more like Giganttransactions can all be traced to..... Asia!

Everything started out by the west, lol. Don't put the blame on Asia for your screw up. You guys literally invented lootbox which is the father of gacha
@@dieptrieu6564 bro, P2W in mobile gaming was huge before OW2 came with their pretty lootboxes lol :)))) but sure, don't take responsability for your spending, just cry and B about the situation :))))
@@dieptrieu6564classic americans that blame others for everything
@@dieptrieu6564except not. Lootbox system itself is notoriously asian. It’s literally gacha. Microtransaction culture reeks in asia and asian people are genuine victims of it.
As ludicrous and greedy selling a 500USD cosmetic is by Riot, I can hardly feel bad for players who put themselves into debt enabling this kind of behavior.
Waiting for the 1000USD cosmetic next year.
1000? why stop there go for the stars 5k skin 10k skin what are idiotic league players willing to pay 😂 riot could release a skin that instead of a signature has a text saying: you are an idiot for buying this and guaranteed some idiots would stil buy it 😂🤦♂
@@zekrom6537 Yeah why stop there? There are whales spending 20 grand per month and they really have nothing to spend on in league. Riot needs a few more 1k and 10k skins to sell to those people.
They didn't complain to a skin priced as $15 or $60 a price of a full actual game but when a $200 skin comes out then they complain. Wow 😮
Riot is simply taking a page out of StarCitizen playbook.
Well, those whales pay the bills what can keep Riot to offer the game for free, so without those whales even you must spend money on the game, for example like a $10 initial purchase price or something...
8:12 yo wtf they got Bin and Elk in there questioning their life choices
never thought seeing a sponsor would make me happy, but I am happy to see the channel being sponsored
china and korea must have a booming economy if they are so willing to pay $500+ on their video game
Gamer boycotts are shortlived because gamers have no impulse control
The ones that boycotted will be the ones who will buy the next 500 dollar skin if its their favorite champion
And this skin just the first element in the hall of fame event.. once the 11th skin is released, the 10 ban can't even cover it, so it was a noob try, because even if they keep banning Ahri, Riot just need to accelerate to put more "legends" to that hall of fame..
I still would have preferred if rito had sold the statue for like 600$ and you would have gotten the skin only that way. Because then you would at least own something afterwards
Then people would complain the skin was locked behind a $600 statue.
@@jordancallahan5893 people would always complain, because more than 20$ for any cosmetic is insane
that would have a worse narrative as people would complain needing the statue for a skin
@@miggyceldran183 Absolutely, statue have limitations. Digital skins doesn't
@@dieptrieu6564 it's the narrative I'm talking about. Yes the statue is better but it being 600$ to get a skin would just push it into a different narrative. Also then the other things in the pass would also be gone.
For next year they can do that since whoever comes after Faker will fall short (whoever that guy is) and there is already a "pre-cursor" to the statue.
Why isn’t anyone talking about this? Faker used the skin for a video and very honestly reviewed it but did compliment it a lot, that was it for people who wanted it but were hesitant to take the next step and purchase it.
lmao that graph reveal was too good
oh wow who would have predicted the "boycot" would last for around 2 weeks
I know three different league friends who bought that Ahri skin, and none of them play Ahri LOL
Yoooo that shipping bug on the statue LMAOOO
It kind of sucks that this is going to continue to happen because of how insanely successful it is for Riot to price things like this. The Chromas and this skin is just a stepping stone. It's just a skin, yeah, but knowing there's gonna be basically just legendary or ultimate skins priced at $100+ from here on for champions is a bit frustrating in a way.
Boycotts in games never work because the players can't never join together as one and stop spending money. There are always people who don't care or have too much money and will keep spending while some stop spending completely, but since people still spend, companies don't care, they are still making money.
it's a cosmetic anyway now if the skins gives you 100 AP at level 1 or even just an extra 5AP then that would be bad.... Looks at Mobile Legends with disgust
the only boycott that really worked was Helldivers 2 VS Sony
You CAN'T stop the asian whales from whaling... there's no fighting it
exactly haha if they sold ahri skin ++ for 1k idiots would stil buy the 1k version too 😂😂
With all the missions they made for the pass you completed it pretty fast, so them extending it, without even having an event shop and tokens to grind, is wierd
Lets be honest. We are not mad about the pricing. We are mad because we cant afford it
not mad either way i couldnt careless about the skin and the pricing either ive come to the conclusion there will always be businesses that have bad business practices cuz their greedy and theres always gonna be that idiot who throws his money anyway. skin doesnt even look that nice. some legendaries far outclass it
@@TremorXs of all the bad business practices, skins are, by far the most harmless, regardless of price, yet there is gacha shit and people trhowing 10000 dolars into those games, yet nobody really seems to care.
I can afford it and still don’t want it. $500 for a single digital item is the dumbest financial decision anyone could make. I’d even say gambling is a better waste of money than buying that skin.
@@frozenburrito2.087 no.
@@GrumpGaming. alot of ppl DO care. being called a gacha player is literally considered an insult in the gaming community. the idea is just that your arguining with a wall its impossible to try and win an argument against them cuz their THAT dumb so ppl just dont bother trying to bring it up that much lmfao
The reason Riot extended the sale is probably because Swarm comes out next patch, and a ton of lapsed and even new players are considering playing League again to try Swarm out. I wouldn't be surprised if the average playerbase that patch is like 5x or 10x what it normally is, and all those lapsed players might consider the skin while they're in League anyways.
People need self control. That's the whole morale of this story.
They need to stop obsessing over pixel on a screen. That's it. That's the story xd
The morality of the modern world is indulgence. Temperence was determined to be bigoted.
I'd say it has to do more with actually boycotting by not playing the game.
Which require will.
And moba players have 0.
Despite what their self incels in their anime would make you think.
I mean it is pretty valid to be upset with a company charging $500 for online goods in a video game. It *is* predatory and *is* worthy of heavy criticism. They shouldn't have made it.
@@kitnal4143 You are talking bullsh**t if you want a change do it for yourself stop playing LoL get better at your study, skills whatever get a good job and then whatever the skin price is you will be able to afford it rather than crying now. It's not predatory you don't even know what it means in this context. This skin is expensive sure? not affordable for majority maybe but it DOESN'T give any real advantage in gameplay. It's a nice skin that is out of your reach that's it just like many things in life like 100mil $ private jet.

I'd love a live interview with the responsible rioter simply asking him: "Do you think this type of monetization is ethical?". Gonna have huge "surprise mechanics" in EA games vibes.
Makes you wonder, how much worse it can still get.
1000$ Skin? Maybe 2000? 5000?
Sky is the limit.
They'd all say the same thing about how no one is "being forced" to buy skins.
There's no ethics involve here.Its a simple case of a company setting a price for an item. A Company is free to put whatever price they want its the consumer to decide how much is too much. I bought the 200 dollar bundle as the 450 one was too much . There' s no gambling here, there's no gacha just straight up this is the price you want it or not
@@leonemitchell1816 Do you think that abusive pricing is only a thing when there's gambling involved? In an addictive game aswell.
this is why i stand by a certain thing..if you dont like it. dont play it. i know the ban wave wasnt going to do anything they were gonna ignore it. ive gotten so tired of riot..the greed. how little they care for there community. its an abusive relationship. and they will only get worse. so..i left..i uninstalled league...been happier to..less toxicness in my life.
this skin sold well because its the goat and they advatized it for months. however any other player would never reach these numbers and it will be shown next time
yeah, i boycotted by stopped playing the base game, only going to come back for events, "free to play game" apparently means " allowed to make skins 500$
this community is beyond saving
I'm glad you tied everything together at the end that this isn't impacting gameplay - I think that's the main takeaway. Yes, the pricing is predatory, but unless legislative action happens, they'll continue to charge w/e they want. Maybe EU will force their hands somehow (similar to how they did Apple's)? Who knows. I'm just glad the game's free still.
I kinda don’t get why people even buy skins, not even saying anything about this in particular it feels like buying decoration to your house, except noone actually cares about it unlike house decoration where someone actually might be amazed when he comes in
We may not know how to cook in real life, but we know how to cook in league
told you so
11:12 I do 100% agree with that , but I also feel like there's way better ways of selling cool stuff to people without them having to take loans. Take for example the trails you get with the pride month icons. They could sell those in many different styles and people would love that! Or how about animated emotes and icons? Have more options for borders in the store? I think they should go for stuff like that instead of overpricing a tribute to League's greatest player.
I still think HUD- and Mapskins could be nice... or I'd like them to make chromas more expensive but slightly alter the color of vfx and they could do custom announcers too like having Nasus or Zoe as announcer
LoL Players: What!? I can't afford a Lamborghini, why are you selling it!?
Imagine the handful of artists working on this skin, receiving their completely non bonus, regular salary at the end of the month, while knowing they flushed millions into the pockets of their managers.
The problem is 500 in east is nothing, 500 for west is a whole salary
it should be the other way around tbh and in the end it just because the gaming culture and industry are entirely different from both side.
old asia MMO with their rmt world is so much worse than this. So $500 is not that baffling for asian gaming culture who like to spend money to look good or strong.
This was always how it was going to end. The West can be mad all they want about the pricing but League as a game never really cared much for the the West opinion when it regards profitability since League don’t make the most profit from the West.
Over in the East where gacha games is such a common thing, things like the Ahri skin, while expensive, will always have an audience.
I agree to this, the boycott never really went outside of the US itself. I mean in my country the worst I've seen are the memes, but I didn't see anything more. The thing is a lot I mean a lot of people just log in to league just to play, them seeing a 500$ skin may be surprising but that's basically it.
Yep. There are people over there spending 1k to max out meta characters with their weapon in gachaslop like genshin. $500 skins are acceptable to many.
@@threestars2164 but there is a difference between genshin and this skin at least genshin make my character stronger and more comfy clear the skin is just skin and if i had bad behaviour its not going to stop me from getting ban
Swarm is already on steam for $15, it's called Vampire Survivors, which Swarm is an even more blatant clone of than Nomad Survival is
If you think about it, it kinda makes the people who actually bought the skin be less toxic else risk a perma ban and -500$ 😂
And this is why gaming should've never go mainstream, we have a lot of people with more money than braincells approving this predatory practices and making games worse and worse. In an off topic but still related news, you wanna know which version of Assassin's Creed Shadows was the most pre-ordered? It was the 120$.
The golden age of gaming was when it was regarded as something for "nerds".
lol, until people learn how to save and genuinely understand the value of their money, they will continue to spend it on shit like this and we will continue to see insanely priced expensive skins
At the end of the day, it's a skin. It has no effect on the gameplay. If you don't like it, don't buy it. If you need skins to enjoy a game, you have other issues and I'd just recommend spending time at the mall at that point.
Now can we speak about how Vanguard Spyware is ruinning people computers and how closing vanguard can cause you to have a blue screen?
How I boycott.
I stop playing the game, and I don't regret 👍
yeah, this is the only boycott that can work
Wanna play swarm?
K bye, now get outta here bruh
Same didnt played league since the anouncement for the Ahri skin and i think its a better option to boycott then just ban ahri
The less pisslow players i see in league. Im fine.
These kinds of boycotts don't work. The only way to really hurt Riot and send a message is if everyone stops playing the game. But that would require a backbone. If you really want to boycott something-and this is transferable to many other things-don't buy or play it. Stop spending money and time on the game. This should have been a real boycott, but all in all, it was half-baked and predictable
League players are just addicted so nothing would work
League dont have players. Have addicts
Or, you know, the majority of the playerbase is fine with it...
I will not buy it, but I don't care if they release an overpriced skin for people to buy. It literally helps fund the game and make it better for us overall. I don't care whether gucci sells massively overpriced handbags and clothes. I don't care whether you can buy overpriced cars. I don't care about overpriced skins. If you want to buy it, go ahead.
I also don't understand the hate... Riot makes this game for free and everyone gets to play it for free. This is a cosmetic item. The fact that people are so privileged that they complain about the price of a cosmetic skin on a free game tells me all I need to know about them...
I won't have this skin and it affects my enjoyment of the game 0%. If I want to support faker I can buy the cheaper skin, which I will.
@@hazzsin3579 You know I was gonna write a response but defending a $500 skin because "its a free game" is just such strange thinking that I genuinely cant be bothered

Predatory market practices should not be encouraged. You know this is bad, you know exactly why it is bad. Choosing to ignore it because you can is your own decision but then at least admit it's out of convenience instead of feigning ignorance.
That is the biggest money printer I have ever seen. Straight up just electronic art. Imagine that kind of money for something digital.
They will simply keep raising the price until it stops being profitable.
And the other publishers are watching...
Yes, it sold well in KR and CN. But there were still people who are not happy with the price. I really don’t understand why Riot did this, they would have made more profit if it was $30

Maybe this is a hot take, maybe it's not. But I'm gonna say that I do not blame Riot at all at this point. Call it greed, but like... if people are going to buy it, why not sell it? If I have a regular pillow I bought from Walmart for 5 dollars and there's people who wanna buy it for 600 dollars... yeah I'm gonna sell that pillow for 600 dollars.
It's just like with ThePokemonCompany. Yeah they could make a super high quality game that's perfect and incredibly well made, but if people are gonna buy a buggy, rushed out pile of mud, and they can still make millions and millions off that pile of mud can I really blame them for selling a pile of mud?
In the same way, if there are going to be people willing to go into debt for a skin, why shouldn't Riot sell it? 500? 1,000? 2,000? If people are gonna buy it, they have a right to sell it.
exactly haha if i were riot id try push the limit see how much these idiots willing to pay 😂
Just because someone *can* do something doesn't mean they *should*. A company should be thinking about the wellbeing and happiness of it's customers alongside it's profit. Unless it is going under there is no excuse to milk the fans in such a way.
@@kitnal4143"Milk the fan", that's where you got it wrong, and why the boycott doesn't work. The skin has it targeted market, and over 98% of League players aren't going to touch it, saying it "milk their fan" is strongly exaggerated.
Second, it's only cosmetic, no gameplay or advantages gain, so it doesn't effect average players, NOBODY give a sh*t after this drama anymore. Not much difference from seeing someone walk down street with Gucci bag, whose care.
@@kitnal4143 Definition of Business:
"an enterprising entity or organization that carries out professional activities with the intent to earn a profit."
Nowhere does it say they have to care about their customers.
In fact, they don't even have to care about their employees!
Oh, business makes money? Good! Oh business makes less money?
WELP, TIME TO SLASH AND BURN, LAY OFF PEOPLE!, SELL IPS FOR TAX WRITE OFFS, MAKE ACCOUNTING MAGIC TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE WE'VE HAD THE HIGHEST GROWING PROFIT FOR A QUARTER, GIVE OUR INVESTORS AND CEOS BONUS AND DIVIDENDS! ENTICE OTHER INVESTORS TO INVEST BY SELLING OUR STOCK TO THEM! CEO AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS RUN AWAY ON GOLDEN PARACHUTES WHILE CLUELESS BROKERS ARE STUCK HOLDING THE BAG. WHAT ABOUT THE COMPANY? THE.PRODUCTS? OUR GAMES? WHO CARES, LOL, WE GOT OUR MONEY AND WE'RE OFF TO SO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!!
Late stage capitalism is a sinister thing...
@@kitnal4143thing is that they like to waste 500$ in in-game stuff.
Ahri is still my #1 ban pick.
Same
Same. Disgustingly overpowered garbage.
@@IzanamisBurden she isnt that overpowered :l
@@exegamer27 She isn't overpowered but she is very annoying in lane like lux. When you want to destroy her in lane, she uses her quick running ability to her tower. With lux, you try to destroy her in lane, she either stuns you then drops her pool then runs to tower. Most bs concept champions in the game.
@@theicewitch9328 the lux i get
but ahri i dont
yes its bs for some people but like lux play around it
you want bs champs?
ask yone, irelia, teemo, briar, and rumble
I’m one of the multiple people who bought the skin, in my opinion it’s worth it for me as an Ahri main
I wonder, I did saw a video of someone somewhere about 1 or 2 years ago that if you have basically every Skin except the special ones, that you only can buy with this violet Gems, you can use the reroll funktion with skinshards and you basically get every Skin in lol. does it work with the Signature Ahri skin?

I just got affrimed that league players are low mental crybabys the last weeks. I always banned her and continued to do so but everyday more crying people came up and said "it doesnt change anything anyways" or "idk i just wanna play ahri". LoL Community (most of it) is just a bunch of low mental none believers it as everyone anyways always thought
Clearly it didn't work so
Nah, they simply realized how childish it all was.
If you transfer your account to LAS and buy the expensive bundle in chile it costs 400 dollars in total... The change and the bundle
Never give up. Never surrender.

Ngl, im not surprised that rito still made money on it. Eastern countries experienced worst micro transaction than the west really think, there's a reason why their competition has more revenue man 😅.
Better spending habits, friends. Better spending habits.
some very lucky player gets it in a loot chest without ever paying for a skin. I've gotten 2 skins of the special fragments that have you collect 100 of in a loot chest. the chogath one and kogma one :)
It was so entertaining watching Ahri mains bitch and moan and complain. It was like having a nice buttery bucket of popcorn in front of a week-long film about people who cry over an overly expensive skin.
Im excited for the next expensive skin... ill be ready for more entertainment.
Yeah it was fun to see them cry because the skin is too EXPENSIVE for their budget they want everything cheap I guess they haven't seen real world enough to know not everything you want you can get and others will have them and you have to move on instead of crying.
I didn't hear no bell ring
I don’t play this game but it’s great watching a community come together to go against this stuff.
4:35 - Boycott chart
8:30 - Chinese sellings of skin in 1 hour / 1 day
10:37 - Conclusion (just a skin, doesn't matter)
Thats the most genius clickbait ive ever seen. The vid features 2 million dollars and declining graphs, but together they form the most misleading marketing ive seen in my life. Subbed in an instant.
They really should have made the Rise Ryze skin with just Faker with his T1 uniform and a book with a Brocoli on it
That's it... I'm restoring mageseekers order to its former glory.
Now we will get 1k skins with the quality of Samira Battle dunno what and we are all to blame
