Community Reaction
League of Legends fans were shocked by the cost of new cosmetic items. Many noted that despite their love for Faker, they can’t afford to spend $500 on collectable skins. In addition, gamers are upset that buying looks will no longer be possible after the end of the event.
Former professional player and commentator Mark “Caedrel” Lamont also expressed his concerns. He tweeted:

People have also voiced their outrage on Reddit. However, there were some funny reactions, too, related to the fact that Faker himself never used skins.
What are Transcendent Skins in LoL? New Skin Tier
Despite the huge negative reaction, no announcements were made about the price change. However, a new skin tier was introduced.
Developer Riot Games has introduced a new skin tier called “Transcendent,” which is even higher than the Ultimate tier. The skins of this tier were the most expensive and of the highest quality. It’s likely that the game will feature even more expensive skins now. Risen and Immortalized Legend Ahri were the first skins in the new tier.
The highest quality version of Ahri’s skin, which costs around $500 USD, has become the most expensive cosmetic item ever sold in League of Legends.
It’s likely that other skins released as part of Hall of Legends will also be added to this tier, but Riot has yet to confirm whether that will be the case.
Riot has yet to reveal what they plan for this new skin tier, potentially leading to further controversy among the League of Legends community.

A still from Ari’s skin trailer
The skin trailer begins with Ari entering a building and walking down a hallway. She walks past the statues of Champions Faker has played on over the years. Ari then runs and jumps over a chasm and makes her way to a staircase before the scene changes to show Faker looming in the background.
Summary
Faker is the first member of the LoL Hall of Legends. He was selected by a special committee of veterans, current players, commentators, and experts from each region.
The player holds the record for the most League of Legends titles (four wins) and many other prestigious titles, such as Mid-Season Invitationals and LCK championships.
In addition to statistics, Faker is known for his incredible skills, strategic mindset, and clutch play.
