Riot Games is being one of the leading companies this week. One of the reasons is that it has published a new trailer for the second season of Arcane, which was accompanied by the announcement that its different video games were going to receive news related to this Netflix series, but we have also learned that it has taken the decision to dispense with a part of its workforce.
Now he has once again immersed himself in another controversy. And precisely one of the news that was revealed a couple of days ago is a new Jinx skin more special than normal being of Exalted rank, a completely new one and even more special. As Riot Games defines it, it is a luxurious item dedicated to those who want to obtain exclusive skins that no one else has in League of Legends.
The problem with this whole thing is how to get this Jinx skin, which will have two different models that can be modified with just the press of a button. More than anything because for the occasion it has been created a completely new system in the form of gacha and with the name of “sanctum sanctorum”.
As is already the case in other video games that use this system in the form of a slot machine, users will have to pay and depend on luck to get this extremely rare skin. To do this it will be necessary to acquire a new currency called Ancestral Spark, whose price is 400 Riot Points (about 3.50 dollars) and is used as currency to make a roll in which you can win one of these prizes:
- 0.5% chance: Arcane’s fractured Jinx skin.
- 10% chance: certain aspects, chromas or banners.
- 89.5% probability: 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 mythical essences, a random icon or a random emoticon.
Therefore, as you can read, the possibility of getting the skin is very remote, so the patience of users when checking out will also be decisive in this sense. This is because those who make 80 attempts will be rewarded with a guaranteed Jinx skin, but this also implies spend a total of 32,000 Riot Points (about 280 dollars)
There is no doubt that it is most likely that an enormous amount of money will have to be spent. According to Riot Games, it originally planned to sell them at a fixed price, but in the end it opted for this method which, it promises, will not require investing so much money and which is necessary to amortize the expenses of your MOBA
In this thread Reddit You can read countless comments totally against this practice, which makes it clear that The community has not liked it at all This novelty remains to be seen if it will be something specific, will be maintained for the future or if it will make any changes in the face of so much criticism from users.
