[2020] Sovereign Ghost Compensation

Original Post — Direct link

So I bought the Sovereign Set on release, literally minutes after the bundle was available, because I saw how cool the skins looked and I wanted that Ghost/Marshall skin. As we all know, the Ghost can't be upgraded because of some bug and it's being fixed in the next patch; but we weren't made aware of this until hours after it was released. Which is unfair to the people who initially bought it thinking it would all work as intended.

I think it would be a nice gesture for Riot to compensate players who bought the Sovereign Set, not knowing the Ghost would be bugged. Like, 30 Radianite points? Or something? Just would be nice.

Hotfix would’ve been nice!

Hi! We decided not to hot fix in this case because we would have had to cause downtime for the game to do it (the downtime is a temporary issue...in the future we shouldn’t need to cause downtime for a hotfix like this, I’m told). We didn’t want to interrupt you guys from being able to play the game (doesn’t seem fair to all of you!) whenever you want, so we decided to delay the fix to the next patch. Sorry about that. I wanted to buy the Ghost purple variant too. :(

I mean they'll probably fix it with the next update or at least the one after that. I don't exactly know what the bug entails but when it's fixed you will be able to use it again till the end of time. The Ghost skin still being in your inventory and the radiantite you might've spent on it still being spend on it I don't think this warrants a compensation as you still own the item & the upgrades.

We’re targeting next patch for the fix. The Ghost had a bug where it played unsilenced audio in third person for levels 2-7, so it was pay-to-lose. That goes against our rules for skins and we didn’t want anyone to pay for a suboptimal gameplay experience. So we turned off the levels, even if it meant missing out on cool effects and color variants. :(
