User blog comment:Leo636/Champions who desperately need skins!/@comment-9200603-20131215193151

I personally don't believe that skins are just for showing off you're an expert player in that champion. I think they are there so that people can pick their champions by both playstyle and aesthetic appeal. I main Soraka and I second Orianna support. Although both have beautiful skins I'm more likely to buy an Orianna skin in the next month or two. I'm definitely not going to buy a Soraka skin in the near future though, even if I've played her practically every day since my first week of playing the game. Why? Because I'm not a big fan of Orianna's original skin. I on the other hand really enjoy Soraka's classic. It doesn't make me any less skilled in playing Soraka because I don't play her with a skin, and it doesn't make me any more skilled at supporting as Orianna because I want to buy a skin for her. Other than showing off that you like the champion, skins also take a champion whose playstyle you enjoy and make them look aesthetically pleasing to you. Because honestly if you're going to choose to stare at the champion for an hour it should be something you enjoy staring at.
