QUESTION:
Lets Say I buy a skin ward on a Monday... but I fitst activate it on Saturday.... will it expire on the next Monday or until the next Saturday?
because you know, what If I want to buy all 5 wards skins but use one each week for the following 5 weeks?
wouldn't 4 of my wards expire after the first week?
what if I choose not to activate them until later?
it'd be AMAZING if the costed the double of IP/RP but they were permanent, after all, they are limited edition.

with all due respect.. we are having zombie brands, zombie ryzes, bewitching nedalees, frankentibbers, pumpinkheads fiddles, kitty kat katarinas, running around SR
ALL YEAR ROUND and it's JUST FINE
same as we are having Festive Maokais, santa gragas, chinesse year's kog maws, independence day Ryze, karth and anivia, snowmerdingers, curling veigars, vancouver kassadins, striker ezreals etc.
all year round and it's GREAT
you want to understand how players like them and use them (the ward skins)?
we like them well enough for you make them permanent.
we don't like them well enough to be rented at us.
there is your answer.
you have the tools to make a pool on GD if you don't believe me.
(I don't know why you didn't asked for our opinion in the first place, after al, we are the ones spending the RP here)

and I feel sorry for the people who doesn't log into the forums/doesn't understand english at 100% and will buy them and give riot their RP/IP only to have them expire after a week because they never log into the formus/they don't understand english at 100% and they were never informed.

Ward skins should become a permanent part of the game.
Rentals on the other hand, NO.
---------------------------------
if we want Ward skins to be permanent and we purchase them, we will be also -by default- voting in favor of rentals. -- fail
if we don't "buy" the ward skins because they are at rental, you will not push the ward skins permanently int the game because it'd seem ward skins aren't worth it. -- fail
that's a HUGE flaw in the experiment.
why don't you just make them permanent and let us vote with our money? - make both permanent and rent options aviable.
(at reasonable prices, not to force us to choose rent!) then count the money from each one of the two options.
