Once rare, now common, the frequent return of these three limited skins in Honor of Kings has caused players to complain

May 13th news, in "Honor of Kings", limited skins have always been regarded as a symbol of player status and collection value. Due to their short sales time and irregular shelf cycle, many limited skins have become "out of print" collections once they are launched. However, with the frequent launch of game activities and the increasing normalization of the skin return mechanism, some skins that were once extremely rare have now become "common" due to frequent returns, and even many old players have directly called it "the depreciation of sentiment."

TOP3 : Armored Blue Dragon

As a limited skin for the warrior hero Kai, Qing Long Zhi gained great popularity at the beginning of its launch with its cool Qing Long theme special effects and strong oriental mythology style. At that time, Kai's strong performance made him a popular choice for high-level players, and Qing Long Zhi's own striking and visual performance were quite outstanding, making this skin extremely popular. However, Tianmei subsequently frequently arranged for Qing Long Zhi to return to the game, and it has returned to the game at least 6 times so far. The originally rare limited skin is now almost owned by everyone and can be seen everywhere in the game, and has lost its early collection significance.

TOP2 : Lü Bu : Demonic Chaos

Tianmo Liaoluan is Lu Bu's first legendary limited skin. As soon as it was launched, it won the favor of players with its dark style, domineering appearance and stunning skill special effects. This skin has not only undergone two rounds of visual optimization, but has also not returned for three consecutive years. It once became a rare collection that players dreamed of. However, in recent years, with the increase in the frequency of return, Tianmo Liaoluan has returned at least 4 times, and it is no longer the hard-to-find " dream skin " of the past . Although the special effects are still domineering, its rarity and collection value have been greatly reduced.

TOP1 : Sun Shangxiang · Rose Lover

The once rare treasure , Rose Lover, was originally an exclusive benefit only for the beta testers of Honor of Kings. At that time, the player base was small and the skin was extremely rare, which once became a symbol of the identity of " veteran players " . However, with the launch of the " Rose Treasure Pavilion " event, Rose Lover has been returning to the game. According to statistics, the skin has returned to the game as many as 19 times. Today, almost every old player has this skin in their backpack, and its preciousness and unique significance have completely faded with each return.

As the game's commercial operation deepens, the " limitedness " of limited skins seems to be gradually weakened. Although this brings more opportunities to obtain classic skins, allowing new players to experience them, it also makes many old players feel that " rare skins are no longer rare . " How to find a balance between meeting player needs and maintaining the rarity of skins in the future is still a question that the "Honor of Kings" operation team needs to think about.
