I will make it simple so that even OP can understand it.
- A skin is supposed to be limited edition
- I buy the skin because it is limited edition
- Skin later on stops being limited edition which implies that I bought a normal skin even tho I would have never bought it
See? I just wasted money. I certainly wouldn't have done that if the skin wasn't limited
And no, they aren't giving a refund. They are giving virtual points that have no value back. If they were giving a refund, they would give back the money, on my bank account. They are basically giving you something that has no worth and they have an infinite amount of.
Some people are collectors. They buy stuff that is rare. They won't buy stuff that isn't rare. What Riot did is fraud. False marketing.
EDIT:
To clarify, I don't even play LoL nor do I buy skins. It just pisses me off that OP and many other people here use the word "entitled" so easily and even try to make it sound bad. First of all, learn the meaning of the word. If I pay for something, you can bet that I'm entitled to it. Entitled is in fact a very positive and nice word.
The phrase you guys want to use is "false entitlement".
And second, stop being so blind. If Riot said it's a limited edition and then later, AFTER the people bought it changed it to a non limited edition, it's Riot's fault. Yes, people are entitled to a limited edition skin if they bought a limited edition skin. That's how the fucking market works. If you buy something, you're entitled to it. Because entitled isn't a bad word.
