Another wave of criticism targeted at Riot Games as the recent controversy surrounding Faker's Immortal Legend Ahri skin has sparked even more backlash from the League of Legends community.
Not only are players frustrated with the abysmal price tag of the new skin, but it seems that Riot Games is also selling a PVC figurine of the skin. Not only is this being seen as a mockery to the player base, but the outrage is further seeping into the company's practices and intentions.
We will take a look at everything we know about the new Immortal Legend Ahri skin figurine and why the players are so mad at Riot Games.

Faker Immortal Legend Ahri PVC Figurine Cheaper Than In-Game Skin
Faker's Immortal Legend Ahri skin PVC figurine costs KRW ₩359,000 which rounds up to about USD $260, however, the full in-game skin costs almost double that amount. Not only are players shocked as to why the actual physical figurine costs twice as less as the Immortal Legend Ahri skin, but it further showcases how Riot Games seemingly intended to only capitalize on Faker's legacy to justify the absurd price tag.
Not only were fans and players disappointed by the official ceremony that presented Faker with a special one-of-a-kind trophy that was slightly damaged, but the community sentiment is overwhelmingly negative, given how Riot's pricing practices have further frustrated the players not only due to the unjustifiable skin price tags but also the lacking quality behind such high price points.

League of Legends Skin Quality and Prices
Long-time players and fans of League of Legends are no strangers to the somewhat inconsistent quality of in-game skins, given the recent Infernal skinline being more than disappointing. Not only are the Immortal Legend Ahri skins a complete slap to the face to the community, but it is also quite amusing that the player renowned for not using skins is getting such preposterously expensive skins in the first place.
Not only are the proceeds to Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok and T1 almost insignificant but the community is hellbent on boycotting the skin altogether by constantly banning Ahri as a champion, denying players from actually using the skin in games.
Hopefully, the ever-increasing feedback from the players results in a more reasonable price tag for future skins immortalizing League of Legends' pro players who have left their mark on the game and the community.
