how many pages are there? geez. most of them won't even get seen because people will just leave after the first few pages, probably. also wish we could sort by champion or something

edit: okay i've been browsing for 25 minutes. WAY too many entries

The entries are displayed in random order to ensure good coverage of all of them and prevent it from being just the entries on the 1st page that get the most views. If you refresh the voting site you will see that the 1st page is always different. So as an example if 50,000 people vote on the contest, but never go beyond the 1st page we can still guarantee that all entries are being seen by many eyes. We do it this way because we get far too many entries for a single person (or even a small group of people) to reasonably sift through, but a large community can do it in a number of hours. It's also fun to look at and share everyone's awesome work.

I can do that, yeah. It's 2:45am here though (I'm in the UK), and I'm about to hit the sack. If you want to add me on Discord, I'll accept tomorrow and we can have a chat whenever you're free, at work/after work. Tag is ImaginesTigers#6622.

Cool of you to do this.

Added. More than happy to chat; I really just want to learn. I really appreciate the time and thoughtfulness you've put into your responses thus far, and I'm super interested to continue the conversation. I'll probably try to ping you tomorrow if we can make that work.

Yeah, see the other comments posted by others in result to this one. People at large simply don't actually care that much about the players; it's a nice side-benefit that they get to support a player, but it doesn't sway people. What people want is a deeper attachment to their champion, not to connect themselves arbitrarily to a person that is probably much richer than us. They just won Worlds.

Continue to support the players, but the World champion skins (for many players) are just ways to support their favourite champions. I used Taliyah as an example because this is her first content since she was released two years ago -- the Taliyah Mains Discord is filled with people upset because the icon and the border are too expensive to justify the price, and the border is a way of saying, Hey! I really like this champion!

I agree that 'buying early' (as was done with Star Guardian) doesn't work here, because the skins leave the store quite early, but you should know ski...

I'd love to have this dialogue with you over voice - I kinda hate the Reddit comment back and forth. What you're saying makes a ton of sense. I've typed and re-typed responses multiple times but trying to convey every nuance I want to, making sense, and not writing a novel never all seem to come together in a single iteration. Any chance you want to hop on discord or something? I'd actually love to get deeper into your perspectives. If not that's cool - I can try to respond here.

The reality -- and you do know this -- is that players aren't supporting the team. They're buying a skin for their favourite champion, and they want the border that goes along with that. The signatures are a nice tough, but most players do not actually think too much about the players.

They're buying it for the champion. You know this, and you're taking advantage of it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

If I'm understanding what you're saying here correctly, it's that you believe Taliyah mains will largely want Crown's signature on their loading screen card even though they don't give a sh*t about Crown? But they want it because regardless it's a Taliyah thing? I'm happy to continue the dialogue but I want to make sure I'm understanding your perspective correctly.

When Worlds' skin prices went up, it was because their quality notably increased. However, some Special Edition borders seem to get more expensive each time, with their quality being relatively the same. It's also confusing why the Conqueror Varus bundle included its border for basically 1 RP, and then suddenly, the next batch of esports skins ramp that price up to 640 RP.

If this is done so that the biggest fans have more ways to show off their fandom and contribute back to the team, why not give fans more content, rather than just more expensive content? Why not have SSG themed emotes and ward skins in addition to everything else?

If the bundle specific summoner icons can't be sold separately because they unlock the special border, why not have another different set of icons for fans to buy?

I definitely don't think making borders increasingly expensive is the way to go when your main objetive is to give fans MORE WAYS to support their favorite teams, n...

You're right. This would be better with additional icons and emotes. The reason we don't have those is because we already sold them during Worlds last year, so we figured fans had that opportunity already. But I guess it does feel weird that we don't have those options next to each other. Maybe it was a mistake to test this product without having the additional options at the same time.

Regardless, you should see options more like what you're describing during Worlds this year. Does that help?

Literally hacked tech. The icon actually grants you the signature. Every border since PROJECT 2016 has an exclusive icon with it. We can't sell the icon without the border.

I think the best part of this was the cursor update.

Oh sh*t - I'm stoked these made it in. Someone did this during an internal game jam awhile back and it was night and day better. Not sure how this matches the original concept - maybe one of the devs can talk about it.

Mr. Butt would like a word with you.

Never mind that I mispelled his name and by that point I was too lazy to change things.

Really happy to see he's doing good. Was dreading the entire video for a "passed away x/x/x" message at the end.

Do we know what specific charities this goes to?

Yeah, we posted the full list of local orgs here.

But when will it be released?

Should be out soon in most regions. Sorry for the delay, took a bit extra time to get everything together!

There's also the fact that they use it as a global reward when things go wrong like Clash and for events as easy and cheap compensation.

Hard to take their word for it when it's beneficial for them, would rather just play it when I want to and play something else when I burn out.

i don't think we're quite that sinister

Comment

we talked about this a ways back in Ask Riot

It's pretty hairy as an idea though -- which patch? Which season? And based on what's been going on with WoW Classic, are people more into the IDEA than the reality?

It's definitely something cool to talk about. Which patch would you choose?

Hey all--Riot Smileyjoe here. I posted this on /u/Lenticious 's reply up top to get a little visibility on this but wanted to reply to u/lestargonzaga 's original post too.
