Riot Games received criticism for the new “Gacha” system of League of Legends
In the past few years, Riot Games has received many “bricks” because of using the “Gacha” system to unlock some special costumes. However, to a certain extent, costumes like Jhin The Dark Cosmic Universe are still accepted by a part of gamers when the player needs to open a number of chests/bonuses to receive. In addition, the value of these chests is also clearly notified at the store.
Skin Jhin The Dark Dark Cosmic Universe has been controversial because of the $ 200 (about 5 million VND) to make sure
However, with the latest Exalted (Trac Viet) outfit called Arcane Jinx broken, everything becomes worse. Accordingly, players need to remove RP to buy an item called Lei Ngoc to be able to “roll” with the opportunity to receive this costume. The point worth mentioning here is that Lei Ngoc's price is not announced in the LoL Client or the store interface. All the things gamers can do is buy the most possible RP in the hope that they “roll” out of this Vietnamese outfit.
Lei Ngoc's purchase price does not show clearly in the “Gacha” interface of Riot Games
Immediately after the system was announced, many League of Legends gamers strongly opposed this new “Gacha” system of Riot Games. They think that the hiding price of Lei Ngoc's purchase is an act of “extreme blood suction” that Riot is applying to make a quick profit and as much as possible from the gaming community. Some players also frankly say that this “dignity” system of Riot is too bad and cannot be compared with the current “Gacha” games, especially Genshin Impact.
“Not specifying the price of Lei Ngoc is a violation of the law in Europe. You cannot see the price of this item if there is not enough 400rp in the account,” Youtuber Vandiril frankly shared.
“Riot Games is entering the active car of Activision Blizzard.
“They banned Lootbox in CS and Overwatch a few years ago. I don't know why this Gacha system of Riot was allowed” – another player shared
“I have to say this when Riot's Gacha system is so bad. It is not as good as Genshin Impact” – another gamer commented
Riot Games will most likely “pay” for its Gacha system
In the past, the fact that Riot Games launched a new skin line could be considered a small event to celebrate with the generals receiving costumes. This is so popular that some generals have too long time not to receive skins and labeled “stepchildren” and become “meme” in the community. However, in the past few years, Riot Games has applied the “Gacha” system in many different ways to sell costumes that make gamers lose quite a lot of excitement whenever a new outfit is released.
A few days ago, Riot announced the new Vietnamese outfit of Settt and would likely have the Gacha system to receive this skin.
It should be known that with Arcane Jinx broken, many gamers are ready to “gacha” to receive this skin because this is a beloved character (especially after the movie Arcane). However, with the next Trac Viet skin of Settt, it is another case when this character does not receive much affection as Jinx. If the quality of the Vietnamese skin is not good, Riot Games will most likely “lose” seriously when it debuted and once again become a satirical topic of the LoL community.
