League of Legends Players Stunned by Faker Tribute Bundle Worth More Than $400

League of Legends fans are having a hard time wrapping their heads around a new bundle that costs roughly $450.

The content is themed after prolific League of Legends player Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok and arrives alongside news that he has been inducted into Riot’s hall of fame, the Hall of Legends. In a post on its website, the studio explains that it worked with the eSports legend to create an event pass celebrating his legacy. Festivities include three new Ahri Collections with prices that are turning heads.

Each bundle is more expensive than the last, beginning with the Risen Legend Collection at 5430 RP or around $40. It includes the Hall of Legends Pass, a Takedown Counter Taunt, an icon, an emote, a banner, and Ahri with a unique, orange and white skin. Next up is the substantially more expensive Immortalized Legend Collection, which costs 32430 RP or around $250, and packs in the Risen Collection along with a selection of exclusive skin transformations, finishers, the Immortalized Ahri skin, and more.

Finally, at 59260 RP, or around $450, there’s the Signature Immortalized Legend Collection that includes the Immortalized Collection as well as a “Final Boss Faker” title, a Faker-themed signature move and structure finisher, an exclusive border, banner, 100 pass levels, and more. It’s a lot of content with a uniquely high price tag, so it was no surprise to see players commenting on the pricing upon its reveal.

“It's crazy that Faker, known for his generosity and taking less salary over the years so he could stay in Korea, is going to be associated with these crazy packages where the base skin isn't able to transform,” one Reddit user said. “I looked at the 2 whales packages and pretty much expected like a physical Ahri statue to be included in them, but they were just a couple of finishers and signature emotes. Absolute bonkers.”

“The way I thought 59k rp was a typo lmfaooo,” another Reddit user said.

i think for this price i better be coached by faker himself https://t.co/ym0kHvpQNj pic.twitter.com/QqzPajfsm2

Riot provided a statement regarding how it chose pricing information for the new bundles in an FAQ on its website:

Whether you're a new fan, a long-term diehard, or just want to join the celebration, we thought it essential for there to be something for you—and for everyone—as we celebrate our first Hall of Legends inductee.For the more casual fan, we have some of our most generous bundles to date. The Hall of Legends Pass includes multiple skins (including Risen Legend LeBlanc), emotes, and more, while the Risen Legend Collection adds the new Risen Legend Ahri skin for collectors to enjoy. For those looking to flex their fandom, the Immortalized Legend Collection and Signature Immortalized Legend Collection include spectacular additions, headlined by the evolving Immortalized Legend Ahri skin. While more expensive, these versions are meant to be highly commemorative, with never-before-implemented features that we can’t wait to see hit the Rift.

The Collections arrive as part of the League of Legends Hall of Legends event. It runs from June 12 to July 8, and it's unclear if the Collections will be made available again in the future. Additional Hall of Legends events are planned to commorate other star players in the community annually.
