League of Legends $500 Faker Skin Sparks Community Outrage

Riot Games faces backlash over the high cost of commemorative skin bundles for legendary player Faker, prompting calls for boycotts and in-game protests.

Riot Games introduced a new 'Transcendent' skin tier with the $500 Faker Ahri skin as the first entry.
Players express frustration over the exorbitant price, calling it a 'scam' and planning to mass ban the champion Ahri in protest.
The skin bundle includes various exclusive items and upgrades, but many argue it exploits fans' admiration for Faker.
Content creators and community figures are urging players to boycott the skin to pressure Riot into reconsidering the pricing.
Despite the backlash, Riot Games has not announced any changes to the pricing structure.
