But in other hand isnt having skin that only few hundreds ppl on server have and u probably will never see someone with this skin great experience? IMO its good that something around 30-35% skins are unavaible to buy, cause ppl who got them have prestige and can show others how long they playing lol. Also most of this skins havent got unique features. (more than 50% percent only got different collors [crimson akali, Sasquatch Nunu etc.], some bonus model looking [pharaon ammumu]) They started incrasing event skins quality in last season (not only different looking but also recall animation and bonus sounds) and they started using skins from past years in this season (snowdown snowdown 2013) so imo some sknins will be able to buy every year in certain events.

BTW i dont think that they made legendary skin for brand, let us buy it for few weeks and than never let us buy it again.

Now retired skins. i started playing in s2 and i dont know if then we were able to buy them, but in start of s3 we were able to buy them for 50% reduced price. Imo in next season they will be in store again for some time and if not then ull get reason to complain.

There are also some limited edition skins but is there any reason that new players with rich fathers should be able to buy skin released for beta testers (king rammus) or for 2010 Winter Games Celebration or for season 2 celebrations?

hope ur get my point. older skins are to show how long u play league and retired/event skins are avaible only for special occasion. If ull be enough patient ull probably will be able to buy masquerade evelyn and time machine zilean.

And if u compare skins to cars there are lot of cars to u cant buy right now cause new models so here league works like real world.
