Okay so this is probably going to blow up because i am posting it here vs talking about it on IRC BUT HERE GOES
So! As most of you know i just started my job at Riot. I'm a live designer - yes everything inside riot is awesome and i can't/won't talk about it. Instead, i brought up that during orientation we were asked which heroes and skins made the most money, and i got the top two of both on my first try and thought it would be fun to test you guys and see if you could guess!
So! The deadline will be in a month (After i've completed my social media training) so that i can know for sure what exactly i am allowed to say/not say. If in a month's time i find i'm not allowed to announce that info (which may then even be outdated) i will find another way of rewarding anyone that gets it right. Why would you care? RP, of course! I figured gifting the community that has supported me/watched my stream/been pretty cool would be a good way to start things off! So, without further ado:
SD'S SKINTIMIDATION CHAMPION RP CONTEST
Q: Which two champions, and which two skins have sold the most money ($$$/RP) for League of Legends, as of the Draven Patch. (Pre-PFE).
1. You are allowed to speculate in this thread/tf2/amongst yourselves, but will get only one answer. To prevent you guys from locking in answers today or tomorrow and having a 'd'oh' moment, i am not receiving answers until a deadline i post a month from now.
2. The above question refers to skins/champs that sold the most money - yes everyone may have riot tristana, or 450 ip champions, but because those are 'free' to the player the ease of their availability doesn't necessarily give them a leg up on this list.
3. I answered it with no insider information. It's been interesting to see what people think in IRC have been coming up with, but it is definitely not impossible. You just might have to be clever!
and finally,
4. The amount of RP i will be giving out will be divided among the number of people who get the answer correct. Because of this, you may choose to work closely with someone else in hopes of getting 50/50, or by yourself to get the full prize. This means working together could yield two 975 skins to both of you, or in the event that others have conspired and won - even less! So choose wisely how you approach the contest!
HINTS: (i gave these out on IRC)
a. two of the four are female
b. two of the four are male
c. an overwhelming majority of our playerbase is male
Good luck! I'll post more when i know.
