Champion skin

Champion skin (or just skin) refers to the color scheme or 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 from special events or promotions. Some of the skins in League of Legends also give champions different particle effects, quotes, and sound effects. Every skin has its own splash art that is displayed in champion select by clicking on the thumbnail after selection.

To see all current and old splash arts, visit this gallery. Additionally, you can see the splash arts, along with the Chinese ones and a link to a 3D model of each skin by going to the Skins & Trivia sub page of each champion. Other ways to access these pages are to just search for the champion name on our search bar and add "Skins" after the name; or you could click any of the links below which contain the names of skins.

Skins in the Store

Skins that are/were purchasable in the store usually come in 4 different price tags: 390, 520, 975 or 1820 RP. The skins tagged with the 1820 price, also called Legendary Skins, are skins that usually affect the champion in more meaningful ways than just changes in appearance. As an example, Template:Csi 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.

Available Skins

As of July 13th, 2012 there are currently 298 skins available in store. Champion skin/Available skins

Unavailable Skins

The following skins can't be bought because they were seasonal event skins or were removed from the store.

Legacy Skins

The Legacy Skins were all skins available from the store normally, but were chosen by Riot to be placed in a Sale (75% off), after which they would no longer be purchasable in the store. Some, but not necessarily all, Legacy Skins will be re-released from the Vault for limited runs in the League of Legends Store. They only appear in the champion's information tab if you own them.
