Player Choice January Sales Event

Posted on at 5:39 AM by Moobeat
To make up for the lack of a Black Friday sale, Hippalus is organizing large sale for sometime in January of next year. He is currently holding a poll on the forums to see which sort of content players would be most interested in, ranging from discounts on rune pages to the return of already retired legacy skins.
"We will be putting together a sale event after the holidays and would like to give players input into what goes on sale. Vote for what you’d like to see included in the sale, and feel free to add any additional feedback/ideas in the thread below.

  • 50% off boosts
  • 50% off rune pages
  • RP purchases get extra bonus RP (similar to September)
  • 50% off skin super sale (10+ skins, including some never before on sale)
  • 75% off skin retirement (retiring several older skins to the legacy vault)
  • 50% off legacy skins (bringing back some retired skins not currently in the store"
Got an opinion? Go weigh in on the forums and check out which options are in the lead so far! Here is the NA link, the EUW link, and the EUNE link.

EDIT: Continue reading for a full list of the skins included in the last option -"50% legacy skins"


"EDIT - to clarify the last option, the legacy skins that would go on sale at 50% off are skins that were previously retired during sales events, NOT holiday skins or limited edition skins such as Kitty Kat Katarina. The list of eligible skins includes:

Crimson Akali
Matador Alistar

    1. I hope not would suck to reduce legendary skins + he was alrdy reduced when launched

      Delete
    2. I agree PFE had a launch reduction I think his price is fine. largely cuz I took advantage of his discounted release price.

      Delete
  6. Doubtful. You could always go suggest it on the thread though!

    ReplyDelete
  9. 50% off legacy skins (bringing back some retired skins not currently in the store. would b awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  10. bleh the guys on forum they are stupid, they whink they will put kitty kat katarina, or silent night sona if they vote on last option

    ReplyDelete
  11. if they reduce pulsefire, people who already have it will sell it and buy it again :P .... like a did when some skins i already bought were in sale

    ReplyDelete
  12. last 2 options are the best imo... And we can count on "Good or bad" promotion or smth similar like last year, right?

    ReplyDelete
  13. 50% off skin super sale (10+ skins, including some never before on sale)
    75% off skin retirement (retiring several older skins to the legacy vault)

    ^These

    ReplyDelete
  14. I'm going to go for skin retirement. If they do bring Legacy skins back from the vault, I think there should be some way to distinguish owners of the skin before it was retired and those who bought the skin when it came back to the store.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I hope they bring Kitty Cat katarina ^^

  18. Jorge Augusto H SouzaNovember 23, 2012 at 6:07 AM

    I'd like any of the last two...nice discount on some old goodies or some toher old goodies coming back to sale? I'll take that please, riot
    Unfortunately, as a peasant from the BR-server, i can't vote it :/ hope they create a similar thread there (although the troll it would be too much)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Oh my god. All of those soooo awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Never gonna happen. It's "limited edition", not "legacy". :<

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  24. Snow Leopard Nid please come back! D:

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'd prefer 50% off legacy skins, but I think that Riot may do the same thing for the Christmas legacy skins, and doing it again after another month may be a bit redundant.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I really wanted the old limited edition and beta skins to come back... Like the Footballer Akali or King Rammus (I have Freljord Rammus and Full Metal Rammus, still want more yes.)

    ReplyDelete
  27. I really want the Limited Edition skins to come back ;_; Kitty Cat Katarina, the Footballer Akali (not sure bout the name), the beta skin King Rammus, or the Harrowing skin Definetely Not Blitzcrank to be sold, so i can buy them all ;_; And maybe some others i don't know

    ReplyDelete
  28. Why can't I acces to the forum in my region...? I go to the link, then log in and it says "You are not authorized to access this page."

    ReplyDelete
  29. That's not a legacy skin, it's a limited edition.. just like Silent night sona and Kitty cat katarina.

    ReplyDelete

  33. I don't believe I can.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I want sumdat 75% off. I refuse to buy any RP past the starting amount they give me, and 140 is just enough for a discounted 520 skin.

    ReplyDelete

  36. Last option. RIOT PLS!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Omg guys. Just think a bit about the legacy sales. There's no point bringing back limited time skins, this way they'll not be "legacy" anymore. They should make NEW legacy skins, not bring the old ones back.

    ReplyDelete
  38. yea, ppl are jelly of our legacy skins :) let them go to hell with that amount of greed and jealousy

    ReplyDelete
  39. red baron corki and take all my money thx

    ReplyDelete
  40. hahaha hippalus just said this:

    "There are about 10 holiday skins that are legacy and eligible to come
    back, but that would usually happen during future holidays and not
    during this kind of sales event. I added the list to help clarify that
    as well. "



    take that up on your asses :D

    ReplyDelete
  41. Atleast the 100$ I get for christmas is going somewhere good. lol

    ReplyDelete

  46. wow new comment, test test

    ReplyDelete
  47. This would be the most grand birthday present of all time....I love January

    ReplyDelete
  48. Tell me now, who would be so nice to give me some RP :)

    ReplyDelete
  49. Yea, they are going to ruin it for the rest of us 'cause people can't tell the difference between two completely different words and a concept that you can simply look up on lolwikia.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Feel like in horriblesubs comments lol

    ReplyDelete
  51. Moo, any chance you could bring back the old comment formatting? :>

    ReplyDelete
  52. Kitty Cat Katarina ; _ ;

    ReplyDelete
  53. nottingham ez, you will be mine

    ReplyDelete
  54. What's wrong with this one? I'm not sure I'll be able to implement it with my old comment design, so I'm afraid you will have to get used to this. I mean, it's not IMPOSSIBLE to do, but I wouldn't really waste time on it, as this one is perfectly fine as is. You'll get a hang of it in a day or two :)

    ReplyDelete
  55. Legacy, Limited, blablabla... this is BULLSHIT! So unfair not being able to EVER get a skin just because we didn't play back in the day... why don't they make all Legacy and that's it? At least would give us hope...

    ReplyDelete
  56. This comment system is 100% easier to manage and moderate. What problems do you have with it?

    ReplyDelete
  57. IMO, this new one is much more bland. The other format also fit the website overall look better. (All of this is my opinion, no given fact. If you like the design of this i totally understand.)

    ReplyDelete
  58. It is a legacy, Erica. But a holiday legacy is slightly different.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Test, test, test. Testicles, testicles, testicles. Yep, it works.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Snow Leopard doesnt exist.
    Snow Bunny is Limited Edition (not Legacy) and it's not coming back.

    ReplyDelete
  61. That's the whole definition behind LIMITED EDITION.
    Once in a lifetime-rare type of skin. It's perfectly fair.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Looks like i'm ending up broke.

    ReplyDelete
  63. The one skin I wish would be available again is Bewitching Nidalee. That's the BREAST skin Riot ever made.

    ReplyDelete
  64. great, no possibility of champ price reduction..... why can't it just be the same like the past years? 75% off skins, 50% off champs. It's simple and enjoyable.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Couldn't you just move your mouse slightly away from the comments (you, to all the white on the page) and click your wheel button there?

    ReplyDelete
  66. Even though Riot says they will NEVER bring back limited editions. I think they will eventually make an exception. But it might only be a one-day sale type of deal who knows...

    ReplyDelete
  67. YES, please add toy soldier gangplank

    ReplyDelete
  68. Noxus Poppy and Toxic Dr. Mundo :o

    ReplyDelete
  69. Moobeat , you forgot the Snowdown Showdown 2011-2012 skins. They are legacy too. :)

    ReplyDelete
  70. Still good gonna buy Sivir, Eve and Nidalee ;D Gosh I wished for some holiday skins QQ

    ReplyDelete
  71. a little tear just came to my eye...

    ReplyDelete
  72. only 1 nidalee skin... and i have it, NEEDS MORE SNOW BUNNY

    ReplyDelete
  73. And I said Limited is stupid and not fun. Maybe for Kit Cat Katarina owners is awesome, amirite?

    ReplyDelete
  74. Do people not realize what "Legacy" is? Regular skins which were at one point available every day. All skins which were seasonal, meaning 1 time chance to buy them, are "Limited". Learn the meaning people.

    ReplyDelete
  75. According to your broken logic - "Limited Edition" shouldn't exist.
    Because there'll always be someone who didn't get it on time that will whine after it's not fair towards him. You sound kinda ridiculous.

    It was sold when it was as a rare collectors item. There are people that only buy once-in-a-lifetime skins for the rarity.

    And no, just because you "want it" and "can't have it" doesn't make it any less fair. It's perfectly fair.

  76. Kingpin Twitch :OOOOOO

    Vote legacy skins, for the love of twitch.

    ReplyDelete
