xQc went on a rant against League of Legends for its $450 price tag on Fakers’ Hall of Legends skin, only to buy it anyway.
Since it was first announced,LoL players have been furiousover the hefty price tag Riot Games placed on their first Hall of Legends inductee.
With the Immortalized Legend Ahrisetting buyers back 59260 RP(around $450), it didn’t take long for players to band together and protest the controversial skin bymass banning the character in-game.
Now, popular streamerxQchas chimed in, slamming the skin while live onKick… though that didn’t stop him from making the purchase himself.
“I’m not making a joke or anything,” the former professional Overwatch player began, before declaring the skin a “legitimate experiment.”
According to xQc, Riot Games was doing “research” in order to “see how much they can get out of people they’ve brainwashed.”
He went on to state that the “brainwashing” had been ongoing for years via “microtransactions”, with this latest skin released to determine “how far they can push the insult to the players.”
“And it’s working!” xQc determined, calling the situation “crazy.” Nonetheless, despite his claims, the streamer still bought the skin.
In aReddit threadfeaturing the clip of xQc’s rant, viewers felt split over the purchase, withone person writing, “It just proves all the noise people make is noise and you may as well do the worst monetization possible.”
