11th Anniversary Celebration: Free Skins for a Limited Time Are Killing People; They're Using Their Popularity to Wreak Havoc on Humanity.

With the anniversary celebration approaching and the skin event starting with free trials, how can we not take advantage of this version milestone during this joyous occasion? Undeniably, the Rift will soon become incredibly lively, with a surge in participants. This means that ranked matches will face a completely different gaming environment. The system can no longer act as a guarantor; everyone is focused on the skin experience. Theoretically, this is a good opportunity for players who don't usually have the budget to buy new skins, providing a good chance to test the product before considering its return. In other words, players during this period won't be as serious about the game. Popular heroes already have over ten premium skins, and the limited-time free trials will undoubtedly boost their pick rate and protect consumer rights. However, on the downside, the free skin event can be disastrous.

Confrontation Lane: Sun Ce

Let's not talk about "choice over effort" during anniversary celebrations. Summoners are focused on benefits, including free skins. So, this article will discuss the most vulnerable characters and what kind of domino effect will follow. Let's delve into this. First up is Sun Ce. In the skin return voting event, the Year of the Dragon limited edition ranked fourth, his popularity is unstoppable. Although high-level players have emphasized that this top laner is weak, there is data to confirm it: a 14.3% pick rate and a 47.1% win rate in ranked matches. With the skin boost, these numbers will continue to rise. He'll be everywhere, so we can predict that Sun Ce's usage rate will increase. Unfortunately, his win rate won't change. He's easy to learn, and he's inherently weak, which makes sense.

Zero profit from hitting people with a boat

Even with free skins available for a limited time, I sincerely hope players won't blindly idolize them. Unless your initial intention is just for fun, why take it so seriously? The game's logic is fine, so just change your ship's bow and ram people. If you fail, don't blame your teammates, because the current version's stats are really severely limited and desperately need a buff. In this era where driving a ship and movement are fundamental, it doesn't seem particularly outstanding. One mistake, a slip of the hand, turning the wrong direction, or an opponent blocking, and you're completely useless in team fights. The negative impact is too great, as if you've swapped identities with Nezha. The title of "feeding kills from a thousand miles away" has been handed over to Sun Ce. I suggest you don't play him now!
