Riot support was kinda enough to get back to me on the silent price hike and their reasoning was the skin has:
1: an animated loading screen
2: a transformation
3: unquie emotes
cool, cool... wasn't aware these things required a price hike
pic unrelated for comparison

I don't know if anyone else saw this but... when and WHY did they raise the price of the already viciously expensive prestige chibis by an additional 5 medallions? just doing very quick maths on the system, this is roughly 15000 RP from 25 to 30?! AND THIS ISN'T EVEN NEW SHYVANA?
Like... So you're telling me if I'm Joe Smoe, I have to enter into a lottery, to join A SECOND LOTTERY, fail, attempt to get GA tickets fighting scalpers, their army of bots, and every other fan fighting for tickets, only for GA tickets to be 450 available?! Rito please...
YOU HAVE SYSTEMS IN PLACE! From the sounds of it, everyone with a creator code got a ticket, but of the 6 people (and myself) I knew with a fan first code, zero people got one. ZERO. Meanwhile I can see tickets ranging from 1.5k to 96k. God forbid you rent out a larger venue!
