LoL Players Outraged by Overpriced Sahn-Uzal Mordekaiser Skin's Poor Quality
League of Legends players are expressing strong dissatisfaction with the new Sahn-Uzal Mordekaiser skin, criticizing both its quality and pricing structure.
The main issues with the skin include:
- Lacks new animations despite high cost
- Uses the same base model as default Mordekaiser
- Only available through Sanctum gacha system
- Requires minimum $200 investment with 0.5% drop chance
- Quality inferior to existing legendary skins (1820 RP)
The skin depicts Mordekaiser's pre-revenant form as the warlord Sahn-Uzal, tying into his lore where he was betrayed, slain, and returned as the Iron Revenant. While the comic representation matches the in-game model, players argue the execution falls short.
Community comparisons highlight the disparity between price and value:
- Worse than typical legendary skins
- Similar to basic Hextech chest rewards
- Missing features expected at its price point
- Lower quality than PROJECT Mordekaiser skin
Despite mounting criticism of the "hyper-exclusive skins" strategy, Riot Games maintains its position on offering these premium cosmetics through the gacha system. The community's response continues to grow more negative with each release.
The controversy highlights a growing tension between Riot's premium pricing strategy and player expectations for high-quality, fairly-priced content in League of Legends.
