With such exclusive skins, it’s only natural that they will ask for fat cash in return. However, Prime Gaming has free cosmetics on offer for the players. Users just have to link their Amazon Prime account with Twitch and they can redeem the free reward. Once they do so, they will receive an ‘F to pay respects’ charm for their weapons.

There have also been demands for test builds from players. Riot might engage with the idea; however, a lot of games that run test builds for upcoming patches see it as a frivolous practice since not a lot of players use them. Therefore, it is up to Riot whether they want to give players the access to upcoming patches in return for feedback.

It is clear that the developers want to make the game as player-friendly as possible going into the next Episode. Players can expect to have a wonderful experience hereon. Moreover, Riot also have big plans for the competitive side of the game that they will reveal in the future.
