Remember when microtransactions were you know, micro?

I feel like the price of the skin is one thing, but the NAME BEHIND the skin they represent for. Faker never uses skin intentionally, and they put that $500 skin on the person who doesn't use a skin.

$600 Ahri Skin:
-Expensive
-Can be taken away by riot at any time
-ceases to exist when not in game
$300 Ahri satute:
-Cheaper
-physical
-can fit into a jar

The fact that a statue (A physical Item you can actually touch.) cost 200$ less then the Digital items speaks volumes to how absurd this price point is.

Meanwhile clueless balancing teams: ahri ban rate is at all time high, she must be too OP! We will nerf her

$500 flex vs 1 free ban to screw them over.

I caught on to the ban ahri in protest train pretty early on but I didn't know the original idea came from the ahrimains sub themselves lol, honestly respect all the players who care enough to ban their own mains/onetricks

Man if the $300 and $500 bundles came with the statue the price point would make sense.

I’m actually surprised at how LOW the numbers are. I’d like to see a 75%+ ban rate NOT 24%

Avengers actually assembled for this one

I feel bad for Faker. He wanted to have his own Ahri skin for so long, and now that he finally got it in the most spectacular way possible... it's been completely ruined.

Jeez, riot could atleast ship a high quality Ahri figurine or something with the skin if it's that expensive.

bloop

watch riot games simply disable being able to ban ahri until people stop complaining

Holloaway

It's actually crazy how okay the east is with crazy pricing in games

Egospair

that end was wild.... when physical objects cost less than strings of code.

I’m seeing an Ahri ban almost every game, and I play a lot with my friends, so it’s definitely common. One time Ahri got through it wasn’t the skin, but they got spam pinged anyway lmao

Korean here,
the general mindset seems to be that people are more convinced with the 500$ price tag due to the quality and effort put into the skin (Special border, animated banner, voiceline, special cutscene at start of game, .etc)
However, the biggest persuasion being that obviously, Faker, as a Korean Legend, a lot of streamers and professionals alike in Korea are buying the skins and praising it. Forming a societal norm about paying 500$ for a skin because what you are getting is 'worth it'.
While many in Korea still believes that 500$ pricetag for a skin is still too much, I see lot less of that narrative than I do see here in NA.

Not to mention the current culture of flexing their wealth most prevalent in China and Korea, along with factor of FOMO that forms around the skin.

*Edit:* Forgot to mention the most important reason being that Faker himself serves very important role in not only League, but the entire Korean Esports post SC era.

*Even Korean President issuing a statement congratulating Faker's 4th Worlds trophy on social media.*

Think about Soccer, having Ronaldo or Messi being your country's home team is ought to have more merch sale/ support from their home country, like buying team merch, jersey .etc

in my personal belief, since Korea possesses strongest worldwide competitiveness in League, the audience in Korea are buying the skin with similar, if not the same logic as buying player merch of sort. Out of respect, and pride for the world's greatest player belonging in home soil.

Though, I am not sure Faker himself had any say in even creation of Ahri skin as Todays T1 vs KDF game 2, faker still remains to use default skin for his Ahri pick.

kraimmable

fun fact, here in south america (specifically Las, not speaking for Brasil nor Lan) Ahri has a 21% ban rate, even though NO ONE WOULD ACTUALLY BUY A SKIN WITH THAT PRICE LMAO
I'm from argentina, 500 usd is like half a year's salary to me
