Normally I try and give the benefit of the doubt to Riot when they make changes which I think are bad, but honestly without saying a word about having any difficulty, and even after boasting that the bundles this year would be more 'exciting' they come out with these: https://x.com/ValorLeaks/status/1876291342411939903

The classic skins aren't anything spectacularly new comparted to last year, but I can get behind them since creating that many unique skins is a challenge.
But what I can't stand for is the player cards. These were the mostly the responsibility of the orgs last year, so Riot simply can't use the same reasoning for these being worse. Tbh this is a huge disappointment, and I probably won't buy nearly as many bundles as I did last year

To rub salt in the wound, this is a part of their official statement:

2025 Player Card with a premium finish, showcasing team identity and creativity.

last year I bought so many bundles because of how nice the player cards looked
like (no hate to KOI) but despite their mediocrity as a team, their player card was so cool, it defo made more people buy it

Glad I got the 2024 PRX capsule because this is horseshit. I only like the new color scheme on the new classic.

The only logical reason I could think of them making all the player card the same is that they didn't want the capsules to be too different that fans would prefer to buy some other team's capsule over their favourite just because theirs doesn't look that great. Which still doesn't make sense because its on the team to create good player cards for their fans. If they make a soulless player card obviously their sales would tank. Now every player card looks soulless 😭.

Bro wtf I wish I bought so many more last time now

Imagine if koi become good one day, their 24 bundle could be really valuable because of how nice it looks, whereas future bundles might be dogshit like this

Man I was really hyped for what the new player cards would be since some of went hard last year and others needed a redo. Shame that they’re all the same thing.

why would you spend so much money on classics skins anyways?

If you're asking about me in particular, it's because I support the teams and the leagues, and I have the disposable income to do so
I'm sure the majority of people who own 24 bundles won't be buying 25 bundles, and no new player cards probably just makes that percentage higher

why don't you buy merch? if i wanted to support nrg i would much rather buy one hoodie rather than buy a 25 dollar classic skin annually

It's subjective
but personally I'd hate to go out in public wearing esports merch, the only exception being an esports event
if I ever plan on going to an event I might buy one

Tbh I’m in the privileged position where I don’t buy clothes for my self, my mum (still) absolutely loves buying clothes for me so I’m always lucky to have an abundance of clothes

Maybe at some point I’ll consider a hoodie or smth but I’m good for now
