LoL community demands Prestige skin overhaul as Battle Academia cosmetics hit new low

Battle Academia Qiyana with Prestige skin
League of Legends players are expressing significant dissatisfaction with the latest Prestige skin system, particularly following the release of Battle Academia Qiyana's Prestige edition.
The main concerns center around two key issues:
- The removal of "regular" versions of Prestige skins, meaning Qiyana's Battle Academia skin only exists in Prestige form
- The lack of distinctive visual elements that traditionally made Prestige skins stand out

Players argue that the current approach diminishes the value of Prestige skins, as there's no base version to compare them against. Previously, Prestige skins served as enhanced versions of existing skins, featuring unique visual effects and high-fashion aesthetics.

The community particularly criticizes Battle Academia Qiyana's in-game model, noting that it's difficult to distinguish from regular Battle Academia skins. This represents a significant departure from the traditional Prestige standard, where skins were meant to be instantly recognizable and visually striking.
Many players are calling for Riot Games to revisit their Prestige skin design philosophy, suggesting a return to the concept of Prestige skins as deluxe versions of base skins, while maintaining the modern high-fashion aesthetic that replaced the original golden chromas.
