A new League of Legends skin, Quantum Galaxy Zed, has been announced by Riot Games and is set to drop later this month. However, players are skeptical of the skin’s quality and potential price, and have been expressing their dissatisfaction again at Riot’s new monetization policies in League.
Riot announced the skin on social media on Feb. 4, and the post immediately drew a ton of negative attention from League players disgruntled and angry at Riot’s approach to monetization in season 2025. One player on Reddit reacted sharply, saying they would bet the skin is going to be another “giga expensive” cosmetic in line with some other recent releases. Another said how “GTA 6 will cost less than this skin,” and warned players to “keep that in mind” before placing a purchase. The comments on the Instagram post fared no better, though over there players primarily complained about the removal of Hextech Chests from League, with one even stating that Wild Rift (the mobile League game) still has them.
