Champion skin

Champion skin (or just skin) refers to the color scheme of clothing and other physical appearance of a champion. In League of Legends, most skins can be bought from the Riot Store with Riot Points, while others are or were available only for special events or promotions. Some of the skins in League of Legends also have different particle effects, quotes, and special sound effects. Every skin has a different splash art, that is displayed during the loading screen. Some users have collected in-game screenshots of every skin available; those are linked at the end of this page.

Skins in the Store
Skins that are/were purchasable in the store usually come in 3 different price tags: 520, 975 or 1820. The skins tagged with the 1820 price, also called Legendary Skins, are skins that usually affect the champion in more meaningful way than just changes in appearance. As an example, will make him shoot out fireworks for his skills, instead of the normal projectiles. This however isn't always true, especially for older legendary skins, where only the model was changed; those skins still had far more work put into them than the others at that time.

Every few days, some skins are put on special discount for 50% or 75% of the original price. The current discounts are available on the Main Page.
