I don't know if most free to play companies give people something free like that all the time. Most games I've played that give you freebies are MMORPGs, and they give you free little items with a one time use. To get this skin for free, you would get the champion for free with the skin and since this skin does have different sound effects and a lot more detail, I can see why they didn't give it out for free.

Now, I'm going to guess that most pay to play games probably give you something free, but you're paying to play their game.

I didn't expect anything free because it was obvious that this skin was going to come out, and it's a well made skin, in my opinion.

I did think that a huge gift was cutting the price of a legendary skin in half, though.

But, you know, Riot pays attention to a lot of people in the community saying they want this skin to be made into a reality. They make it into a reality, cut the price, and then get yelled at because it's not free. I'm sure if it was free, people would complain that the skin was made for fiddlesticks and that they don't use him, or that a skin for a champion is useless and it should have been a free rune page, etc. etc. etc.

Moral of the story: Riot is always at fault, even if they do what you said you wanted.
