League of Legends players protest $500 skin with a forced boycott, perma-banning Ahri to stop anyone using her new cosmetic

League of Legends.

League of Legends players are making good on their attempt to forcibly boycott a $500 cosmetic by banning the champion it's available for.

Signature Ahri is a particularly fancy skin, designed to commemorate League of Legends' all-time esports great Faker. Trouble is, the fanciest version costs $500, and players aren't happy about the potentially slippery slope that could set Riot sliding down. The concern is that if it's willing to charge this much now, it'll be happy doing this again in future, milking the community for ever-larger amounts of money.
