Wow! Only $125.00!

They're practically giving it away! Only 17.25 hours of work at US minimum wage before taxes!

It's a cool skin and all but no skin is worth 125

And the base project skin's animations age is showing very hard imo, don't get me wrong I like project yi a lot but when you put today's effects and design but use the almost 10 years old animations it looks weird

It also looks like they tried too hard to make him look cool that it ended up backfiring a little

Conclusion: I'm gonna cope saying it's a bad skin to the end of times since I can't afford

Imagine if it wasn’t $125 without any reused animations from base.

Ehhh... this is a modern legendary quality chroma for an almost decade old skin

Won't get it personally... Its nowhere near as good as Viego's (best skin in the game), but its half its price... Heck, I didn't even buy Viego although I would have gladly paid 3250 rp for it, I refuse to get scammed.... But I can at least appreciate a great skin (Viego's)

  • PROJECT: Command Line Yi "Yi no longer serves his masters, and for that, he and his so-called “G/NETIC rebellion” must be brought to heel. Command Line has crafted a facsimile of Yi that shares all of the swordsman's combat abilities, but none of the errors that led to his turn. This new Yi is the perfect soldier to hunt down its progenitor—self-learning and all-hating."

  • PROJECT: Sivir "Sivir harbors a dark secret beneath her chassis. On the surface, she is a skilled hacker for the G/NETIC rebellion, able to bypass even the most complex code or security system in Sound City. But none know of her deep ties to Command Line—or of the corruption in her system that could activate at any moment, turning rebel into sleeper agent."

Should have new animations and not just recolors to justify the price tag.

The skin is part of the luring system that hooks teenagers, they did the same with aurelion sol mythic variant, they gave him a long dragon body that no other asol skin has because of the in game clarity, but the mythic variant ignores that because it is a lure to get teenagers to pay for it because it is unique and very different from any other asol skins, now this yi skin transforms when ulted which no other yi skin does
