LoL Players Outraged Over 'Low Effort' Grand Reckoning Alistar Skin
League of Legends players have expressed strong disappointment with Riot Games' latest Grand Reckoning skin line, particularly regarding Alistar's new skin. The criticism centers on the perceived lack of effort in the design, which players claim looks more like a basic color variant (chroma) with minimal Noxian-themed additions.
The controversial skin will be available as a free reward in the Act Two battle pass, as reported by LeagueOfLeaks. While lower-priced skins typically feature simpler designs compared to premium 1,000+ RP skins, the community feels this offering falls below acceptable standards.
On Reddit, players voiced their frustration:
- "Holy shit. That's gotta be a new low"
- "Imagine buying the battle pass to get skins of this quality, these might as well be worth nothing"
This controversy follows recent community backlash over other Riot decisions, including:
- The release of Sahn-Uzal Mordekaiser exalted skin
- Ongoing complaints about the removal of Hextech chests
- Concerns about predatory monetization practices
While Riot has acknowledged player dissatisfaction with battle pass content, they confirmed that changes won't be implemented in the upcoming Act Two battle pass.

Alistar the Minotaur charging forward
The Grand Reckoning skin line features multiple champions from the Noxus region, aligning with League's 2025 seasonal theme, and is scheduled for release with Act Two.
