Currently the price for skins are $5. That is a lot for pretty ugly skins imo. And not to mention that you don't really have to have any experience to make them. My sister could make those skins. They're just recoloring...
I don't think you guys we're in beta this long, except ralath, but before players were able to make custom skins. But only you can see it. So like, if you dled and installed a custom made annie skin, only you could see the skin, and if someone else picked annie, you would see her with it the skin to. But god, the skins they made we're pretty awesome. Makes the riot skins look like crap. I would actually buy some of these skins.
