I got this shoppes. I like all these heroes but I have no idea which skins are worth it or not. I already got pajama lux and fortune so maybe I don't need any more for those two.



Maybe it is smart to wait until all 10 days have passed before buying anything as it seems we're getting a legendary skin shard and 3k tang crystals? Dunno what that icon for day 10 is supposed to mean. Celebration skin shard?

I also never played urf so Im looking forward to how stupid that can get!

Very good Shoppe, best Lux skin which I wish I had because the splash is great and the model is fantastic

turns out if you made your account before they changed the default mmr and only just hit ranked for the first time years later it matches you with golds even when you're absolute trash with a 40% normals winrate

not that i mind playing against people way better than me but folks on my team saying my account was bought and actively dodging me is very unfun

^^^ What an absolute unit.


It's mostly the early legendaries that are bad, before they locked down what a legendary was supposed to be.
Corporate Mundo does not have a new model. It does have a new voice, but the amount of voice lines in those days were really limited.
Gentleman Cho'Gath and Brolaf are the same.
I don't remember what Firefighter Tristana had before, but with her visual upgrade it feels like a 920 RP quality skin. No new voice.
Ice Toboggan Corki is just a new model for the airplane.
Nunu Bot was always great. His rework made it fantastic.
Demonblade Tryndamere and Blood Lord Vladimir were part of a new standard for legendaries, they just feel somewhat lesser to current legendaries.
Surprise Party Fiddlesticks was always a legendary in name only. It is 920 RP. Will probably be amazing after Fiddle gets his upcoming rework.
Gatekeeper Gallio was regarded as somewhat underwhelming back then. I have no idea how it feels after Galio's rework.
And then there was Battlecast Prime Cho'Gath. I think pretty much every legendary afterwards offers quality.
Just a note on Primetime Draven. It's another legendary in name at 920 RP, but it does have an entirely new Draven voice.

:hmmyes:

Good stuff. That'll help choose for sure!

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

Here is a spreadsheet of legendaries and what features they offer: https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Champion_skin/All_skins
Simply sort by RP prize for 1820. There are more legacy ones I forgot about earlier on that are really lackluster:
- Annie in Wonderland
- Red Baron Corki
- The Magnificent Twisted Fate
- Alien Invader Heimerdinger (I like the splash art tho)

Basically, if you get a legendary skin shard that is legacy you are getting something that will be instant orange essence. The exception is Zombie Brand. And ofcourse, Ice Toboggan Corky...

honestly it's not the worst thing to just mute all in the beginning of the game. you might miss some helpful information but if your teammates are getting you down it's worth missing out on the low chance of useful information.

Mine had KDA Kai'Sa and Star Guardian Jinx, so I was pretty happy. I already had a Jinx skin (Odyssey) but Star Guardian seems better, so I snagged those two. Otherwise I have Pentakill Kayle (seems good, but I am super poo poo at Kayle and not good at avoiding dying early so...), Blood Moon Sivir (have Pizza), Cosmic Queen Ashe (possibly, but probably eh), and Lunar Wrath Caitlyn (have Pool Party, only 20% off..so no).

2/6 ain't bad, and I don't know much about the Ashe skin.

if you ever need advice this thread is pretty good for it, but matchmaking is a bit of a clown show at the best of times and such is the struggle. people call you a bought account at any level of skill, i would not worry too much about what toxic gold trash players say about you... just focus on playing + improving and you will lap these bozos in no time

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.


I got em all because I had RP just sitting there.

Wonder why they schedule the matches in a manner where two of the four teams have to play two matches in a row. Not that it's the end of the world, but it would be possible to build a much fairer schedule.

No, homegrown skeletons are fine, it's just foreign skeletons they have a problem with. Or rather, they enjoy making foreign companies jump through hoops because they can.
