Riot reverses paid classic skins in League of Legends Classic after backlash

League of Legends Classic launched on the PBE with modern models by default and classic skins available via tokens or real money. After community criticism — including a subreddit thread with over 6,000 upvotes — Riot unlocked classic skins and made them the default. Dev Brian “FeralPony” Feeney explained the mode mixes old patches to reflect varied player preferences and said players will vote on changes once it hits live servers.

• Classic skins were initially behind tokens or paywall
• Riot unlocked and set classic skins as default on PBE
• Dev explained why Riot mixed multiple old patches rather than one era
• Players will be able to vote on patch choices; further changes promised
