"This is the first time in a year that the Legacy Skins have been directly available for purchase (and were only recently in Mystery Gifting).

It was always messaged that Legacy Skins (like these retired ones) could come back in the future."

LIMITED

"No, these are Legacy skins that were originally in the store and retired, as such there will be no refunds/compensation for these."

Udyr

"We don't reprice Legacys.

If there is a visual upgrade for a Legacy skin, it's a nice addition (assuming you like the new style)."

Udyr

"We did compensate players that originally purchased Firefighter at 1820 when we did the Legacy skin sale last year.

Firefighter Tristana is no longer price protected and will be 50% off on December 7th."

Hippalus

Good question! Those skins were originally Legendary skins that were price protected, meaning that the players who bought them at that price would receive compensation if they were ever sold a lower price. They were briefly on sale at 50% off in December 2012 which triggered the compensation for all owners at that time.

They are no longer price protected and players can buy them either at their regular price (1820) or their sale price (910).

New Legendary skins like Infernal Nasus are price protected.

"Price protected means if a skin ever becomes available for a lower price, players are refunded the difference in price. We have always honored price protection on Legendary skins.

The definition we changed based on player input was Limited Edition skins. Limited Edition now means that if it ever does come back, original owners will receive a full RP refund (while keeping the skin), a first edition icon, and first edition treatment in the game loading screen.

We do not change our mind lightly, and try to make it right when we do."

"This is just self purchase.

Mystery Gifting will return during Snowdown"

Udyr

"Riot Singed is Limited, so he isn't included."

Hippalus

"They will make a return to the store sometime in 2014"

Udyr

"Contractually, those skins were exclusives for PAX (if I remember correctly, don't quote me, not a lawyer, etc etc) and I don't believe that we could bring them back even if we wanted. We don't have plans to try and bring them back.

This information may be incorrect though!"

Hippalus

"That's a fair question. We like bringing back the retired legacy skins during the holidays as some players like to send them as holiday gifts. But it's definitely a lot of content all at once, so maybe next year we'll spread it out some more."

Update on Skarner Rework

RiotScruffy

"Quick update about the Q attack speed buff. We found a bug internally that this buff was stacking much higher than it actually was supposed to. After fixing this bug, the impact of the attack speed seemed lower than what we intended so we also increased the values to compensate.



After the next pbe update, this bug will be fixed and his Q attack speed will be up from 4/5/6/7/8% to 8/10/12/14/16% per stack."
