I don’t know if you guys have heard about it. Recently, and fist suddenly announced that they would raise the prices of various skins. The reason announced to the public is that global is inflating , so Riot also needs to adjust skins according to the specific degree of inflation in each region. Prices need to increase by up to 17%. This statement caused an uproar on the Internet, but before the fans of LPL could react, LPL officials announced that they would follow Riot’s instructions and raise the prices of most skins. This made LPL players very angry and spoke out. Horse servers are not human beings. After all, foreign servers will 100% give out skins they don’t own when they open the box. Why should the national server follow suit and increase the price?
Brothers who have played the Chinese server League of Legends all know that the skin system of the Chinese server is very different from that of the American server and other foreign servers. Even if the domestic box is a purple box, there is a high probability that you will get the skin you already have. But this is not the case for foreign servers such as the US server. The US server's boxes will automatically exclude skins already owned by players, which means that as long as the player is brave enough, even civilian players can collect all the skins. It even includes very rare skins such as the ice nuclear bomb of the wine barrel and the dragon blind of blind monk . Of course, dragon blind does not have any special meaning abroad.
In addition to these meaningful skins, some expensive skins such as piano girl DJ, the glorious big elementalist and the future warrior ez can also be released through ordinary boxes, and the probability of being released becomes higher in the later stages. big. What’s even more outrageous is that because of the special skin mechanism of the foreign server, there are basically no out-of-print skins in the foreign server. Even a skin like Till Death Do Us Part, which is extremely rare in the Chinese server, can be easily obtained in the foreign server. Therefore, players in the national server have long complained about the horse server. Therefore, whenever the national server does some activities to purchase boxes or keys, players in the national server are very resistant, not to mention the direct price increase of skins this time.
Many fans of the Chinese server believe that there is a reason for the price increase of other people's skins. After all, the difficulty of obtaining other people's skins is much lower than that of the Chinese server, but the price increase of the Chinese server is unreasonable. Not only that, but the Chinese server players also don’t understand the reason for inflation. A friend of the national server said, "First of all, the degree of inflation in our country is far less powerful than in foreign countries. Our country has the ability to regulate the market at a macro level, so even if the situation is turbulent, prices in our country are still relatively stable. More importantly, our country's prices are still relatively stable. There is no upward trend in the overall salary, so the excuse of inflation is absolutely unworkable in the Chinese server."
It can be said that it is precisely because of these two reasons that players in the Chinese server do not agree with the increase in the price of horse server skins. . However, there are also many water friends who say they don’t care. After all, they rarely deposit money into League of Legends recently. In the past, they would take advantage of half-price skins or Akali’s secret shop to spend money. But in recent years, the enthusiasm for League of Legends has dropped significantly, and people are more interested in the competition than the game. Second, I am really dissatisfied with the skin mechanism of the national server, so I have lost the desire to buy it. Therefore, the increase in skin prices will not affect me.
I have to say that this skin price increase is indeed quite controversial. At present, most players in the national server are dissatisfied, but to be honest, even this will not have any impact on the national server, so the skin price increase is likely to be It won’t change. What do you guys think about this?
