ReplyDeleteRiot should sell skins from 2010 -.-
ReplyDeleteIf you gifted people this morning before the content was live, will you still get the icons?
ReplyDeleteNice one :D
ReplyDeleteWonder what exactly the requirement for the Nashor one is?
ReplyDeleteDon't get reported?
Get loads of honor?
Confound Riot and their riddles!
pffff
ReplyDeleteGoodbye wallet. Hello debt
ReplyDeleteBombs away!
ReplyDeletewas hoping Fiddles skin would be 520 :(
ReplyDeleteseriously 975 for snowmerdinger AGAIN seriously
I hope they do that with the legacy skins next Halloween!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy i can get the Leblanc skin since i missed it last year. Still a bit disappointed with Kat's skin, though.
ReplyDeletelol already spent my rp on Slay Belle Kat xD
ReplyDeletei did that :(
ReplyDeleteNo Ahri Christmas Skin </3
ReplyDeleteWhen will Divine Mask Shaco come out?
ReplyDeleteJust picked up holiday skins for Kat, Veigar, and Leblanc. It's a happy day for mid players!
ReplyDeleteProbably not for a while, considering they disabled it on the PBE.
ReplyDeleteMe too, made a ticket right away... better give me that red nosed Urf!
ReplyDeletethis wasn't what I was waiting for.... =(
ReplyDeleteOn my wings.
ReplyDeleteRemember Ziggs when I promised to kill you last? I lied...
ReplyDeleteI'll take this one, and this one, and... THROW IT IN YOUR FACE!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure... For getting the Nashor icon, we have to never been banned by the Tribunal? What really means "spreading holidays cheer"? It is related to the friendly honor?
ReplyDeleteCaptain Obvious, I need you.
Also, if someone have more informations about the shopkeeper icons, I'll take it. ♥
ReplyDeleteYou'll get it when you buyed a lot of stuff with RP. Don't ask me the exact amount tho :p
Deletedon't get reported/warned/banned this month I guess...
ReplyDeleteno.
ReplyDeleteTotally right,
ReplyDeletei thought fid wil be 520 to -_-
Surely Bad Santa's naughty list is full of well behaved people?
ReplyDeleteReally wish the baron icon was slightly more specific...
ReplyDeleteThank you riot for giving me my Toy Soldier Gangplank that I have been waiting for!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to Me and to All.
WTF, are thoes wards free ? i have clicked the "use this ward skin" button and im able to use it for free (didnt took me any IP at all).
ReplyDeleteso the shopkeer icon gets unlocked if you have all the others?
ReplyDeleteI feel the same. I'm gonna get LB skin though. And probably Fiddle and Mao, not sure yet.
ReplyDeleteRiot will put this year the winter summoner rift map?
ReplyDelete520 RP for the Fiddle skin? It would have been stupid, it has different particles and animations.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you read it but it says "free ward skins"
ReplyDeleteHello. How long are the skins going to be available?
ReplyDeletedont get banned/warned, or anything like in this month and u get it i guess
ReplyDeletehttps://twitter.com/RiotMorello/status/279308792179613696 No.
ReplyDeleteso, the ultra lame recall animation went through
ReplyDeleteso dissapointed~
Evolve and overcome
ReplyDeleteI've got a question about that five-man-premande icon. Does it have to be a ranked game or is normal queue fine?
ReplyDeleteThat will happen in January, don't you read your surr@20 news?
ReplyDeleteZiggs, you don't make any sense ( again ) .
ReplyDeletewuju pass me the sense?
ReplyDeletei too gifted wukong with his wuju skills. may i have a new summoner icon?
ReplyDeleteJohn Connor?
ReplyDeleteYou've been terminated.
ReplyDeleteI got gifted with the ULTIMATE POWER, but than i stole my master's icon.
ReplyDeleteNow Phreak don't give my ULTIMATE BARON ICON. u.u
any queue.
ReplyDeleteI think Piero is refering to holiday Limited Edition skins. As we all know this won't happen and Riot stated this. But they are looking into a way to let players tade those rare limited edition skins next year so people can get Snow Bunny Nidalee and Kitty Katarina
ReplyDeleteUntil January 6th, I think.
ReplyDeleteEarn this by completing a merry, five-man premade battle on the Fields of Justice.
ReplyDeleteDoes this includes 5 man premade against bots as well? co-op vs ai?
Don't worry, I got this.
ReplyDeleteProbably not the reported part. People will report for god damned anything.
ReplyDeleteIn da choppa.
ReplyDeleteOutrageous
ReplyDeletei just got my late icon : D
ReplyDeleteHaven't been banned or warned after 2 years...Should be easy.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me, about Steel Legion Lux, wanna see it finished fastly.
ReplyDeleteShocking
ReplyDeleteOh well, I see, thanks for the clarification. But just as you said, those are limited, didn't even occur to me he may be talking about those because those are sealed and void.
ReplyDeleteThey could at least came back with the last years map, Like they made the 2011 legacy xmas skins avaiable this time again, i think they done it because will be no SR xmas map. :(
ReplyDeleteUgh, it’s gonna take forever to scrape your face off my suit!
ReplyDeleteno, its about receiving and giving honor
ReplyDeleteyes they are free for 23 days
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna give you the ultimate spank for impersonating another Syndra!
ReplyDeleteI got the Urf and Baron icons, not sure what I did to get the Baron icon, though.
ReplyDeleteHow long did it take to get it? I gifted a friend a Champion and i haven't got my icon yet. And do you know anything you did before you got the baron icon?
ReplyDeleteI got my icon after the latest mini patch.
ReplyDeleteI up vote just for the snowmerdinger part , the fiddle part i think its unfair for who made the model+particles+animation to sell it for 520.
ReplyDeleteYou're not funny anymore.
ReplyDeleteI bought Kat skin , and was thinking about buying LB one , but i changed my mind after seeing how all the skills are same as default , i can see now how the new skins has better quality and worth the 975 , LB one doesn't worth 975 anymore < IMO.
ReplyDeleteYep, I did too and already enabled the Baron one, just too cute^^ Maybe you should all check it. By the way, the new Fiddle Login is superb.
ReplyDeleteThere is ways to get them. So they aren't
ReplyDeleteThe irony
ReplyDeleteSo I bought my friend Nunu...
ReplyDeleteStingy O.O
ReplyDeleteYeti bot speaking... beep.. boop....
ReplyDeleteI did, I logged out and back in like 3 times. And i want the Baron one ;-;
ReplyDeleteYou must be me when i was weak, i mean "good".
ReplyDeleteJusticar Syndra, she is not evil and Powerfull like me.
I think the baron icon is different than the others. It looks at your entire past (or just this year) until now and sees your history of being reported (like Santa watches you all year) and then it will give it to those who haven't been banned or reported. That's why some people have already recieved it and it takes a longer time because it goes off of past records.
ReplyDeleteZiggs? Unpredictable, dangerous, yes yes. But quite brilliant!
ReplyDeleteGlad you did... He will feel good about it... :D
ReplyDeleteYes... Nunu bot agrees...
ReplyDeleteGiving Assasin Master Yi's everywhere in 3, 2, 1..
ReplyDeleteI look so sexy with this new outfit. <3
ReplyDeleteI have a present for u :3
ReplyDeleteTears of sadness while the value of my Mistletoe LeBlanc skin goes down.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, tears of joy, as my happiness is shared with others.
This is unfair I :"(
ReplyDeleteI pass judgement.
ReplyDeleteSuch, POWER!
ReplyDeleteRun, playthings, the yeti is ulting he looks angry.
ReplyDeleteJealous Fools...
ReplyDeleteI thought they weren't new particles andr were just colour swapped, I don't know guess I dont play Fid enough?
ReplyDeleteHasta la vista baby
ReplyDeleteI can live with imprisioned Syndra :P
ReplyDeleteHave you by any chance purchased the Bad Santa Veiger skin?
ReplyDeletePix or it didn't happen.
ReplyDeleteNo, the symbol has nothing to do with the Veigar Skin.
ReplyDeleteI recommend skipping.
ReplyDeleteCan Pix help?
ReplyDeletesomehow i got the baron icon. pretty sure its by wearing a holiday skin. "spreading holiday cheer this Snowdown" but im honestly not even sure
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, this is sad... replying to myself... BUT I GOT MY RED NOSED URF! BOOYAH!
ReplyDeleteagainst bots too?
ReplyDeleteNice - curious about the Nashor and Shopkeeper icons.
ReplyDeleteAlso: To all these champion novelty accounts, reddit says "Hi"... http://i.imgur.com/mfC0t.gif
Some how I got the Nashor skin. I do own the Veigar skin and did play him. Maybe that's the way you get it? Unsure... Who ever else has the Veigar skin might be able to confirm this.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so, my cousin has it and the only champ he has played that would have one is Gragas and he doesn't own Gragas.
ReplyDeleteThe map has changed, so they would need a new map.
ReplyDeleteYou look sexy in any of your outfits. (Read that in Heimerdinger's voice)
ReplyDeleteI'm not funny, I'm outrageous.
ReplyDeleteLol, that dont even means every skin should be 975 RP,
ReplyDeleteomg RIOT just want money money and money - lot of money -_-
Heads up for the Barron Christmas icon
ReplyDelete"The initial batch of baron icons were rewarded to the players who were the most positive all year long. The next batch will come after the holiday." RiotLyte
so get out there be nice and make people happy well playing some league!
Oh , finally, I can wear my blue dress and disguise as Frost QUEEN Janna <333 Can't wait to blow them up on the Fields of Justice! Popular girl Janna out.
ReplyDeleteI meant void from being sold again.
ReplyDeleteNo thank you!
ReplyDeleteI got the icon, and I have never been warned or banned.
ReplyDeleteDo you guys this is it?
And how do they see this?? because it have nothing to do with your honor then..
ReplyDeletei have friends with maybe 3-4 honor in each who got it.. while i'm at 20-70
i have never been banned or reported.. it's the only icon i actually wan't.. and i will be very sad if i don't get it
No thats not it, i would have it too
ReplyDeleteI think it has something to do with the honor system.
ReplyDeleteIt goes it does.
ReplyDeleteOr for not getting punished by the tribunal this year.
ReplyDeleteI got the Santa Nashor icon on EUW already! Anyone else?
ReplyDeleteThat is correct.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, maybe next year? Although that's a long time to wait..
ReplyDeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteMy gramps is on an icon !
Hut, two, three four , i'll get it swiftly !
Hey Syndra , stop talking to yourself.
ReplyDeleteVista OP
ReplyDeletei think you get it by simply not getting reported for one day
ReplyDeleteyou probably have to play every day at least one match until the event is over, not sure
ReplyDeletemeaning christmas days as well
What happened if i gift my friend skin on champion he didnt own?
ReplyDeleteWell my friend has the nashor icon. he owns a previous snowdown skin but not one from this year. He's never used one in game and doesn't have honorable opponent. So it's probably not for getting honorable opponent (also I have honorable opponent and I don't have it)
ReplyDeleteYou CAN be naughty and well behaved if you're just naughty in the bed =P
ReplyDeleteDon't listen to him, it's not like that. I have my santa baron icon already, I posted my theory on how to get it somewhere here in my comment.
ReplyDeleteFor the shopkeeper icon, on the forums someone guessed at getting all of the icons beforehand to get it. But then this response came from a riot employee: "RiotHippalus: It's a little easier than that...but just a little."
ReplyDeleteGood answers in return of this question with real arguments and telling
ReplyDeletethe whole thing about that.
My web-site :: web design miami beach
How is having a snowdown skin related to this? I have not a single snowdown skin by the way. Now the question is: Have you received any honor from an opponent today? The threshold may be the patch that updates the loading screen image to snow fiddlesticks image.
ReplyDeleteYou need to be a one of the most positive players throughout 2012, then you get this icon instant. If you are friendly in the winter time then you get this after snowdown showdown. Lyke posted that.
ReplyDeleteGot a friend who has it.. he have had several warning and was banned some months ago
ReplyDeleteso it doesn't have anything to do with being banned, nothing to do with honor since i have honorable badge and lots of honor and i've got friends with almost no honor who have it..
right now it looks like it's just randomly given out
wuju style
ReplyDeleteGot 3 icons. Love this Snowsdown \ o /
ReplyDeleteyes, you will.
ReplyDeletei think staying off Bad Santa Veigar’s naughty list means -> change your summoner name
ReplyDeletebcus 4 of my friend that have nashor icon get summoner name change :)
You just need to be good boy, dont get report, and have some honor (red honor badge just rise you chance) and you'll get it.
ReplyDeletenot exacly. a got this w/o change
ReplyDeleteRun, plaything!
ReplyDeleteLet's end this quickly, I need to use a little soldiers room!
ReplyDeleteI don't have it but im pretty sure it has something to do with honor :D
ReplyDeleteI got honourable opponent a couple of days ago and now I've got the baron badge, that might have something to do with it.
ReplyDeleteCome forth, you will find honor in death!
ReplyDeleteUlting in 3....2....1...
ReplyDeleteha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! *nunu bot robotic laugh*
ReplyDeleteNow do your old recall animation to me.
ReplyDeleteImpeccable decision.
ReplyDeleteI logged in and i have Baron icon, but i have no idea why or when i got it. O.o
ReplyDeleteCome on Teemo, throw away that chickenshit blowgun.
ReplyDeleteIf it bleeds, we kill it.
ReplyDeleteI guess it means for ppl who never got banned for this year . it said "you’ll get this icon for staying off Bad Santa Veigar’s naughty list"
ReplyDeleteThese people impersonating champions must not have very many friends.
ReplyDeleteThe duplicates Syndras will punish you, cause we love to watch Teemos fly.
ReplyDeleteSuch great, Power!
ReplyDeleteThey don't have absolute control.
ReplyDeletei don't think so...i got a friend who got banned like two mmonths ago, for a month, and he loged in and he had it, i've been good and i don't have mine ):
ReplyDeleteMy friend who has been banned by the tribunal previously got the nashor icon so it can't be that
ReplyDeleteMy friend got the baron one , He doesn't play Lol much , he plays co-op only. (So sure he will not get reported or banned the way he plays)
ReplyDeletedid he have a ribbon? I've never been banned and have honourable opponent, but no icon.
ReplyDeleteJust give honor and you'll get Holiday Nashor lol n_n
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell do you think you're doing?
ReplyDeleteTo get Baron Nashor Icon u have to get honored by fed peoples.
ReplyDeleteMy friend got this icon after 4 honors.
CAWCAWCAWCAWCAWCAWCAWCAWCAW
ReplyDeleteCAWCAWCAWCAWCAWCAWCAWCAW
ReplyDeleteIt is most likely based on chat logs
ReplyDeleteTeemo stop talking to yourself.
ReplyDeleteI just got this, all i did was buy the legacy leblanc skin and wish everyone a merry christmas when i got in my game. lol
ReplyDeletePretty much had figured it wouldn't be as easy as 'don't get banned'.
ReplyDeleteIt's maybe the key. I'm going to say "I WISH A MERRY CHRISTMAS" to everyone, in every game :D
ReplyDeleteThink you didn't get the pun
ReplyDeleteNope. I failed my pun roll, got natural fail!! XD I still don't get it T_T
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's because you're real pretty
ReplyDeleteEnjoy winter skins,icons and wards on SUMMER rift yeah that's right SUMMER rift
ReplyDeleteThose gingerbread wards make me hungry...
ReplyDeleteI got the Nashor Icon as soon as I signed on, and I have been banned by the Tribunal once a while back since I had to leave many games, so I got banned for 2 weeks, so it has nothing to do with Tribunal bans.
ReplyDeleteyou get these icons permanent or no?
ReplyDeleteTOPPLE THEIR FORCES.
ReplyDeleteMundo go where he pleased. Mundo not get Baron Icon. Mundo sad but still will go where he pleases!
ReplyDeleteIt means you have to be on a bad santa veigars team :)
ReplyDeleteThis whole conversation's full of win.
ReplyDeletei think it is for friendly hounors
ReplyDeleteYou better be sure you know the games.
ReplyDeleteOOh, games ;)
ReplyDeleteyou stole my phrase!
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine has got his icon before he's seen a Bad Santa Veigar. In fact, I was the first one for him.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteYou get Baron by getting a gift from a friend not giving a gift!!
ReplyDeleteAs for the baron icon, i haven't bought a single of the new holiday skins or anything like that, but i noticed i had the icon after gifting a skin, maybe it comes free after gifting anything to a friend? ._. not sure, may have had it before that happened but you never know
ReplyDeleteYou could not be more wrong even if you tried. =P
ReplyDeleteTom meant that if Santa's list is full of bad behaving people one hypothetical Bad Santa's list would be full of good fellas.
ReplyDeleteFUS RO DAH!
ReplyDelete
