A very passionate Morgana main on Reddit has spent months talking about how they want improvements to Spirit Blossom Morgana, an Exalted skin they spent around $250 USD on.

Exalted skins are only available for a limited time and have to be rolled for via a gacha system. If you get lucky, you’ll nab the skin early on without having to spend too much money. However, drop rates are astronomically low, and the majority of people who get Exalted skins should expect to pay around $250 for them.

Riot has explained that these skins are meant to be “hyper-exclusive“, that they’re made for truly dedicated fans who’d be willing to dish a ton of money for what Riot’s calling a “luxury good”.

However, one extremely dedicated Morgana main was very unhappy with the Spirit Blossom skin, and it’s not even because it was expensive. Rather, they were expecting to get more for their money and feel that its quality is far below that of other skins of its kind. After months of discussing how they’d like to see the skin get improved, they’re going to Europe’s government and seeking legal action.

Dedicated Morgana main seeks legal action

Reddit user LoveForNuWa has been documenting their journey with this skin for months. The only thing they’ve posted about since June is the Spirit Blossom Morgana skin, complaining on various Reddit threads and trying to show why they believe it’s far below the standard they expected.

Their sentiment isn’t exactly unique, either. It’s not that people don’t like the skin, it’s that they believe it’s missing features that are advertised as part of the Exalted skin experience and just isn’t worth the up to $250. This user in particular doesn’t have an issue with spending that much on a skin, they’re just disappointed by what they got.

So, instead of making more Reddit posts, they went to government regulators.

“With Riot’s boldness in selling this skin for €250 in the state that it’s in, and with so many players pointing out issues, missing features, as well as its clear incomparability to other Exalted skins – I felt this raised serious questions. Especially when the product fails to adhere to Riot’s own official statements about what Exalted skins are meant to represent and the standards they are expected to meet,” they claimed.

“Long story short, yes, I actually wrote an official email to the European Commission briefly outlining the situation and asking for their view on whether Riot’s handling of this release is in line with current consumer rights and digital product standards.”

This was posted on July 25, 2025 and was followed by a month of silence. But, on August 29, 2025, the user broke their silence and returned with a response from Austria’s European Consumer Center as to what options they can take.

They’re going to go with the third option, pooling as many player complaints as they can and sending them straight to Austria’s authorities to go to Riot on their behalf. This would then go to Ireland’s government (where Riot is based in Europe) and confront them directly. You can read the response from Austria’s Consumer Center in full here.

The Redditor concluded with this:

“This is not a malicious attack on Riot Games. I’m simply a long-time customer growing increasingly concerned about Riot’s direction, their failure to follow and uphold their own standards, their disregard for their official statements and their inconsistency with premium, high-end products like Exalted skins. Expecting players to accept this without question or consequence isn’t right and a company, especially one of Riot’s scale, isn’t exempt from following rules and laws – including those regarding digital content – and should be held accountable.

“Ultimately, my goal isn’t about money — I’d rather see Riot fix, adjust, polish and overhaul Spirit Blossom Morgana, bring the product up to true Exalted quality, and let everyone enjoy it for what it’s sold as.”

From here, they plan to rally the Morgana mains community and continue to pressure Riot so they can get a skin they believe is worth the full $250.
