LoL's new Mythic system slammed for being "more restrictive than gacha games"
Once upon a time, Mythic Variants were League of Legends' most controversial cosmetic. Only available to those who purchased 30 event-specific capsules - or those with some serious luck - you'd have to drop $200 to buy a slightly fancier recolor of an existing skin. But then there was the Faker Ahri skin, and then the three-form Exalted skins, and then the issues with the battle pass' Blue Essence output. LoL's monetization certainly ramped up in 2024, and 2025 appears to be continuing that trend.
