Skins in League of Legends, to many fans, are far more than just appearance enhancements. Nice look, new voiceovers, special skills and recall effects all make skins a passionate longing for a large number of LoL players. To tell the truth, once using the best skins in League of Legends, it’s hard for you to go back to the in-game base skins. In this article, let’s have a look at the top 10 best League of Legends skins which are cherished by me, a fan girl who has been playing this game for 12 years.
Table of Contents
1. Forecast Janna
Price: 1820 RP
Janna is my favorite champion in LoL, and Forecast Janna is the skin I like most amongst her array of skins. The champion revolves around winds and storms, so embodying a weather forecaster from Riot, complete with an umbrella and a mic, is absolutely fitting.
2. Cafe Cuties Gwen
Price: 1350 RP
The Cafe Cuties set is certainly one of the finest skin collections in League of Legends, with Cafe Cuties Gwen standing out as especially impressive to me. She is a beautiful maid in my heart, wearing blonde twin tails with pink highlights and pastel blue maid dresses.
3. Pajama Guardian Soraka
Price: 1350 RP
If the Star Guardian set is already gorgeous, the Pajama Guardian adds some cuteness to the existing theme. Pajama Guardian Soraka looks great with her long wavy turquoise hair and her iconic horn poking through her bangs. Donning a cat-like onesie and holding a warm ton-sur-ton pillow, she evokes a cozy and tranquil ambiance, a sentiment mirrored in her expression.
4. Elementalist Lux
Price: 3250 RP
This is known as one of the few Ultimate skins in League of Legends. Once you possess this skin, you don’t just own one but ten fantastic skins. Luckily, I got the Elementalist Lux in Hextech Crafting instead of buying it.
Here is how this skin works: You will start the game with the Light form first, and undergo two transformations during the gameplay. In the first transformation, you can choose one from Nature, Water, Fire, and Air and based on your choice, the Demacia lady can then become Mystic, Ice, Magma, Storm, or Dark.
5. Truth Dragon Yasuo
Price: 1820 RP
I am not good at playing this swordsman yet I highly appreciate this skin because it’s so coooooool! Not only does the splash art make it outstanding, but the champion’s in-game model also adds elegance to Truth Dragon Yasuo. In addition, I bet you will shout Wow at the dragon effects on his skills when gliding through the minions.
6. All Out K/DA Seraphine
Price: 3250 RP
Seraphine is also one of my favorite LoL Champions (Support is my main role), closely followed by Janna and Yuumi. One more reason why I list this Seraphine skin is that I am a K-Pop fan, too. Did you watch MORE by K/DA, a virtual girl group created by Riot Games? If not yet, watch it right here. It reached 210M on YouTube:
Seraphine is the newest member of K/DA, she even has an Instagram account. All Out K/DA Seraphine comes in three different forms and you can pick one of them during Champion Select. Apart from a stunning look, this Seraphine’s Ultimate skin also brings you music and exclusive in-game effects. Luck smiles at me once again as I take her home from Hextech Crafting.
7. Star Guardian Jinx
Price: 1820 RP
The Star Guardian skin line is a collection with a magical theme, containing designs that appear to be influenced by the famous Sailor Moon franchise. This skin for Jinx is appropriate for her character, featuring her fiery red hair tied in long pigtails.
The top resembling Sailor Moon is paired with shorts and stockings to blend Jinx's personality with the colorful world of magic. She also wears hair accessories that look like cat ears, positioned in front of sections of hair styled upwards, giving the appearance of a cute pair of fluffy ears.
8. God-King Garen
Price: 1820 RP
Though I’m not really into male champions, I have to say that God-King Garen is one of the best skins in League of Legends. The skin features a grand white motif with a ghostly lion being a focal point of the skin and Garen's movements. It remains stunning even five years later due to its distinct animations, effects, and updated voiceover.
9. Broken Covenant Cho'Gath
Price: 1350 RP
Although this skin for Cho’Gath is somewhat hampered by his outdated in-game model and animations, the splash art is considered to be one of the finest in LoL. This creepy idea is similar to the mobile tombs seen in Elden Ring, as Cho'Gath carries a temple on his back.
Naturally, as Cho'Gath increases in size throughout the game, the skin truly shines. What excites me most about this skin is that, as an older LoL champion who definitely deserves an update, Cho'Gath has the potential to reach new heights with this design in the future.
10. Arcade Ahri
Price: 1350 RP
Playing Arcade Ahri allows players to nostalgically revisit the era of old-school video games. Its retro pixel graphics and bright, arcade-like colors bring back nostalgic memories of classic gaming.
Ahri changes into a pixelated video game character, equipped with pixel animations and skills. The uniqueness of Arcade Ahri lies in the sheer enjoyment and happiness it adds to the game. It goes beyond just a cosmetic improvement; it serves as a symbol of the happiness of playing games and the enchantment of nostalgia. Gamers who enjoy the classic look and fun feel of skins will be delighted by Arcade Ahri as a charming addition to their collection.
