League of Legends players are expressing strong disappointment with the new Sahn-Uzal Mordekaiser skin, criticizing its high price point and lack of unique features.

Key Issues:

  • The skin uses default animations and base model, unlike other premium-tier skins
  • Available only through Sanctum gacha game with a 0.5% drop rate
  • Minimum spending requirement of $200 for a chance to obtain the skin
  • Quality considered inferior to existing legendary skins (1820 RP)

The Lore Connection: The skin represents Mordekaiser's origin as Sahn-Uzal, a warlord who became the Iron Revenant after death. While the comic adaptation effectively portrays this transformation, the in-game execution falls short of expectations.

Community Response: Players particularly criticize:

  • Lack of new animations
  • Poor value compared to other premium skins
  • The gacha system's excessive cost
  • Missed opportunity for an Ultimate tier skin

The negative reception continues to grow as Riot Games maintains its stance on "hyper-exclusive skins" through the Exalted skin line, with many players comparing it unfavorably to basic Hextech chest rewards.
