On the evening of May 28th (Vietnam time), Riot released an in-game trailer for Faker’s HoL skin. The first images of the skin in-game left the audience in awe due to the grandeur that Riot brings to this special skin line honoring Faker’s great career in the League of Legends and the entire Esports scene. Through the smallest details, one can see how Faker has gone through ups and downs. In particular, the Recall animation or the expressions from the skin line represent Faker’s championship titles from the World Championship, and his familiar “Silent” gesture makes the community even more excited.
However, the actual price has made the Vietnamese gaming community hesitate. To obtain all the content of the Hall of Legend Pass, players in Vietnam must spend around 6 million VND. This is a figure that is not too large for those who have stable jobs. But for the majority of gamers who are students, this is a significant concern. Even international gamers admit that this is quite a high price compared to some games with similar mechanics.
But right after releasing the in-game trailer for Faker’s HoL, Riot delivered another “devastating blow” to gamers. According to that, this skin will only be available once during the HoL event and will end at 2 PM on July 9th (Vietnam time). After that, this skin line will never be sold again or added to any other events. This means that gamers wanting to own Faker’s HoL only have one opportunity, which will end on July 9th. Therefore, those who possess this skin group will have some of the rarest skins in League of Legends, similar to the case of Warwick URF or King Rammus in the past.
In reality, this is an understandable action. Because the HoL honor skins were initially expected to be very different from Riot’s previous skins. Not to mention, the expensive Pass package is due to the accompanying accessories. Without these accessories, the skin package itself may not have such a high price or specialness. However, players can choose to purchase the basic HoL skin (priced at about 1 million) if their budget does not allow for it, and this price can be said to be the most reasonable at this time.
