Riot Games has announced the new Quantum Galaxy Zed skin for League of Legends, but players are expressing strong concerns about its pricing and acquisition method.

The skin, launching February 20, will be available exclusively through The Sanctum, Riot's gacha-style system. Players need 80 rolls to guarantee obtaining the S-tier skin, with each roll costing 400 RP. This means players might need to spend up to $250 USD to acquire the skin, unless they get lucky with the 0.5% drop rate.

Community reaction has been overwhelmingly negative, with players comparing the skin's price to upcoming major game releases like GTA 6. The criticism extends beyond just the skin's cost, addressing broader concerns about Riot's new monetization strategy, including:

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

This release follows the existing Galaxy Slayer Zed skin, which has been in the game for six years and was previously available through traditional purchase methods.
