Riot Games took a brazenly controversial approach to celebrating its first hall of fame inductee and fans have expressed their frustration in whatever way they can. Since the reveal of the game's first-ever $500 cosmetic bundle, some players have begun to ban Ahri, arguably reducing the value of the skin by preventing purchasers from ever actually using it.
With the release of League of Legends patch 14.12 (the patch that brought the Ahri skin into the store), Ahri's ban rate immediately soared to over 14%, up from a 9% average for the last month according to op.gg.
