League of Legends players have expressed frustration over the new Grand Reckoning Alistar skin, which will be available as a free reward in the Act Two battle pass.

The skin, revealed in Riot Games' latest trailer for the Grand Reckoning skin line, has been criticized for its minimal design changes, essentially appearing as a basic chroma with minor Noxian red accents. Players on Reddit have labeled it as "low effort," with one user stating, "Holy shit. That's gotta be a new low."

This criticism comes during a period of increased player dissatisfaction with Riot's recent decisions, including:

• The quality of battle pass rewards
• The removal of Hextech chests
• Concerns about predatory pricing
• The recent release of Sahn-Uzal Mordekaiser exalted skin

While Riot has acknowledged player concerns about battle pass quality, they've confirmed that improvements won't be implemented in time for the Act Two battle pass.

The Grand Reckoning skin line, featuring champions from the Noxus region, aligns with the 2025 League season's theme and is scheduled for release with Act Two. However, players argue that even free battle pass skins should maintain a higher quality standard than what's been presented with the Alistar skin.
