League of Legends players are expressing outrage over Riot Games' latest skin announcement, Quantum Galaxy Zed, due to its anticipated high price point and controversial acquisition method.

The new skin, set to release on February 20, will only be available through The Sanctum, Riot's gacha-style system. Players must spend 400 RP per roll, with an S-tier reward guaranteed after 80 rolls - potentially costing around $250 USD. The skin has a mere 0.5% drop rate otherwise.

This release particularly stings for players as a similar skin, Galaxy Slayer Zed, has existed for six years and was previously available through direct purchase.

The controversy highlights broader concerns about Riot's new monetization strategy, which includes:

• Removal of Hextech Chests
• Reduction in free skin availability
• Decreased Blue and Orange Essence rewards
• Introduction of gacha mechanics
• Paid battle passes required for meaningful rewards

Players have voiced their frustration on social media, with many comparing the skin's price to upcoming major game releases like GTA 6, highlighting the perceived disparity in value.
