Ahri's Boycotts Are Over... 

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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"

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 :(

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

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 🤡

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.

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%*

That's like saying the rich would stop buying mansions because the poor can't afford them, people are fucking delusional.

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.

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

There's a statue!?

@@PsychoDiesel48yes. And it’s cheaper than the skin. The statue costs 325

@@seidenfuchs Alright, now we are talking!

Not counting shipping fee? With shipping maybe 400 ​@@seidenfuchs

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.

what kinda pizza?

Dinner? trynna figure out what country ur from with this because here especially an hour ago still at breakfast..

​@@EinManU Bearnaise pizza with bacon and pepperoni. I know my local pizzaman. He's a top G!

@@pakoswine4560 I'm from Denmark. When I made the comment, it was around 18:30 :)

I ordered wendy's and was literally opening my mouth to bite the shit out of that burger as he said that. lol.

Doesn't Tencent own Riot? That should tell you everything.

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.

It just replaces Ahri with Faker ingame 😂

@@spiritbomber9359 omg please. I would pay for that

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...

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..

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.

exactly haha if they sold ahri skin ++ for 1k idiots would stil buy the 1k version too 😂😂

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.

@@KibaSin thats so pathetic lmao

@@KibaSin Based

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

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

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.

@@pratikroy227 study? What

Voting with your wallet doesn't work because some people get more votes.

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.

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.

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.

I can proudly say I quit league

Im with you brother

@@moe-7544 bye bye we wont miss you

​@@Sonic_Frontiers i will

​​@@COIN_a Yes he is. Why do you care? By banning her he won't see any ahri with that scam skin in his games.

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

@hazzsin3579 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.

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

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

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.

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.
