League of Legends players outraged over the pricing of new pass set from Riot

Should the most expensive MSI pass kit cost less? How much do you have to pay for it and what’s in it?


In League of Legends, you can find quite a lot of cosmetic elements. They have become an integral part of Riot’s production and are really important for both players and game designers. LoL is a free game, so cosmetic elements are the only way to monetize the game, although some players believe that the developers sometimes overdo it. What is it this time that is causing posts to appear online that say Riot is greedy?

What costs so much?

Another event is coming soon to League of Legends, which is tied to the MSI championship – one of the biggest LoL-related competitions that takes place every year. In order to fully enjoy the content introduced by Riot, it is worth buying a pass – it has different prices depending on which package a player chooses.

The basic pass costs 1,650 RP. However, for 1000 RP more, you can also unlock Yasuo, his new Inkshadow skin, a unique frame, and an icon. Adding another 1,000 RP, on the other hand, you can gain an even more exclusive chroma and emoticon with Yasuo. The news did not satisfy League of Legends fans, who believe that the studio has priced the most expensive set with the pass far too high.

So the new “bundle” with 1 Emote (usually 350RP) and 1 Chroma (290RP) costs 3650RP (1K RP for those 2 things because “Exclusive”). Instead of improving the passes and grind so more people buy it, they make exclusive stuff more expensive for popular champions to sell more

Yasuo has continuously been one of the most popular heroes, having received 15 skins counting the upcoming Inkshadow series cosmetic items and prestige versions since his release. Due to the fact that he has a sizable fan base, there are sure to be many among them who collect all the additions that come to the League.

If someone doesn’t want to miss out on a new unique chroma or emoticon, they will even be forced to buy the most expensive set pictured above. Fans unanimously say online that the passes are getting worse and worse – this time it is unlikely that the developers will somehow respond to the expectations of players who would like to have another way to unlock a chroma or emoticon.
