Riot Games Developer Games Developer recently announced that the heated skin of the character is coming to Moba. Sahn-Uzal Mordekaiser will convert the necromantic lander game with the default liszowy appearance back to his human character. This is a cosmetics of great importance for the canonical history of League, and Riot clearly knows about it, preparing a dramatic trailer accompanying the advertisement, observable above.
In brief, this is a great moment for the League of Legends community. But every player who wants to play because the human mordkaiser will probably have to pay his nose. This is due to the fact that Sahn-Uzal Mordkaiser will be added to the recently created “exalted” leather, and they can only be obtained by engaging in a sanctum in the style of gach in the league. Attracting exalted skin from the sanctuary can be costly, with league fans Recently calculation that two -thirds of players will not receive exalted skin before releasing 32000RP, which is transformed into USD 246.15. Or, as I like to think about it, four kingdom is coming: liberation 2s.
Of course, the community feels quite sour. “One of my most wanted skins was Sahn-Uzal/Pre-Surrection Mordkaiser,” wrote YouTuber Nickyboi on X, “But all this noise is blurred, knowing that he got stuck in the Fomo Gacha store worth $ 200.” The answers to the official disclosure of the league to X are Similarly dissatisfiedWith many answers that claim that the skin looks inexpensive and is also costly. Meanwhile R/mordecaismish Channel is in a total crash, currently an endless scroll of posts with titles such as “LMFAO @ Sahn Usal $ 250 Skin” and “Can we all agree and meet so as not to spend a single cent on this fraud?”
This is not the first time Riot landed in heated water with his community over the perceived scaling of the skin since the launch of the exalted level. In June last year, fans pushed the skin to Vulpine Mage Ahri, which can cost up to USD 500. In response, the director of the game PU Liu said that the prices were “justified” because “the vast majority of players spend $ 0 on a free game, the vast majority of players spend $ 0 on a free game. Our revenues come from a small, one -digit percentage of players. “
These players are widely referred to in the industry as “whales”, and the chasing of whales is a set, though controversial industry practice, especially in combination with the gacha mechanics gambling element. Sahn-Uzal skin is a good example of why. While Ahri’s skin has been designed to celebrate the famed league player of Faker, this, as already mentioned, is quite closely related to league knowledge, and therefore subtly presses on a larger number of buttons that can tempt players to throw bones. At first glance, everything is optional here and it depends on the players whether they are involved, but under this there is a whole element of psychological manipulation, tempts players to get involved with gach mechanics first, and then they are constantly rolling until they are rolling until they go on , until they are rolling until they take a reward in the classic Employed error fashion.
Sahn-Uzal Mordekaiser Skin reaches the league on March 5. Riot recently made dubious decisions, not just about his business practices. In January, the league received an update designed to get rid of the “unnecessary complexity”, which ended in an impossible for novel players to earn anything but the battle. After examining, Riot admitted that he “fucked up” the calculations of the novel reward system, stating that “the numbers sent by us were quite far from what they should be for many of you.”
