Riot Games has revealed the price of the Faker bundle in League of Legends, and it’s just shy of a whopping 60,000RP (around £400 in the UK).
Legendary South Korean pro player, Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok, of T1, was recently announced as the very first inductee to the Hall of Legends, a hall of fame for League of Legends (LoL) esports.
Recognised as the best overall player in the game over a sustained period of time, Faker has earnt the title ‘The Unkillable Demon King’.
His individual skill and in-game leadership have led his teams to numerous victories, having earned 10 LCK titles, two Mid-Season Invitational titles, and four World Championship titles, including winning the most recent Worlds (in 2023).
“Faker is truly the most iconic and influential figure in League of Legends and esports history,” said John Needham, President of Esports at Riot Games. “His name is synonymous with excellence in LoL Esports, and he has rightfully earned his place as our very first Hall of Legends inductee. We hope that he continues to make history for many years to come.”
“While esports is gaining more momentum, we at Mercedes Benz are delighted to extend our role as the official automotive partner of all global League of Legends Esports events to the Hall of Legends. I am more than happy to honor Faker as the first ever member,” added Britta Seeger, Member of the Board of Management Mercedes-Benz Group AG, Marketing & Sales.
“We are convinced that the Hall of Legends marks the next step in our ongoing partnership with Riot Games after all previous successful community focused events and the jointly created traditions, such as the Championship Ring.”
What’s in the £400 Faker bundle, the Signature Immortalized Legend Collection?
A Hall of Legends in-game event will include an event pass that will take players on a journey through Faker’s career, highlighting pivotal moments, achievements, and more.
This event will run from June 12th to July 8th 2024.

On the different options below and the hefty price tag of the above, Riot said: “For the more casual fan, we have some of our most generous bundles to date. The Hall of Legends Pass includes multiple skins (including Risen Legend LeBlanc), emotes, and more, while the Risen Legend Collection adds the new Risen Legend Ahri skin for collectors to enjoy.
“For those looking to flex their fandom, the Immortalized Legend Collection and Signature Immortalized Legend Collection include spectacular additions, headlined by the evolving Immortalized Legend Ahri skin.
“While more expensive, these Signature/Immortalized versions are meant to be highly commemorative, with never-before-implemented features that we can’t wait to see hit the Rift.”

LoL community reacts to £400 Faker bundle: ‘How do I explain this to my accountant?’
Social media was abuzz with comment in response to the £400 bundle today.
UK LoL caster Nymaera, who some might say is a little obsessed with Ahri, said: “Lord forgive me for the way I’m about to act up.
”I am in turmoil. Never before has so much been asked of me (and my bank account.)”
He added: “Not sure this is a hot take but on first glance I prefer [the Risen Legend Ahri] version of the skin to the full-blown one. It’s in keeping to classic Ahri but then gilds that wonderfully. The Immortals Journey is beautiful but a tad over-designed for me.”
After the news settled, some players are planning to ban Ahri from League matches in protest of the price.
Here is some other reaction:
