In League of Legends there are now over 1200 different skins. A frequent player now shows how luxurious it is to own so many skins in LoL. One advantage: when new skins come out, you can easily and freely acquire them.
How does it work with skins in LoL? The skins are different purely cosmetic outfits that allow you to give champs in LoL a different appearance.
Over the years, more than 1200 skins have been released for LoL: there are even various skin lines, with several champs sharing the same “theme” for skins.
In LoL, there are different ways to obtain skins:
- You can simply buy them in the cash shop for Riot Points, which you purchased beforehand for euros.
- You can receive them for free through certain mechanisms (during specific events, anniversaries, etc.).
- You can create them through a crafting system – this is a relatively complex system.
Every 3 skin shards give a new skin in LoL
What if you have all skins in LoL? The advantage of owning all over 1200 skins in LoL is demonstrated by a player on reddit. New skins have just been released in League of Legends and player IngarOW shows how it feels for him in this situation.
He just needs to trade in three skin shards each to unlock one of the new skins, which would otherwise cost him money.
How does it work? This is part of the crafting system. When you “reroll” three skin shards in LoL, they transform into a single permanent skin of any quality level.
Anyone who has a large collection of these skin shards and only lacks the “new skins” can reliably unlock all new skins this way.
In the video, you can see how the player combines three skin shards into a new, coveted skin.
How many skins are there in LoL? It’s difficult to say because there are also skins that are no longer available and therefore do not play a role in the crafting system.
In April 2021, the number was at 1251 skins (via leaguefeed). The number has likely risen to about 1300 skins now – with “Chroma skins” allowing for new variations.
Players estimate 5,000 euros for “all skins” in LoL
How much does it cost to have all skins in LoL? On reddit, people are discussing the expensive fun of getting that far.
Various players estimate that they have spent between 4,000 and 6,000 US dollars to acquire all skins in LoL, depending on how efficiently they have taken advantage of the system.
Some thank the skin hunters: “Thank you for keeping the game free for the rest of us.”
Because free-to-play games like LoL rely on a few players spending a lot of money in the cash shop while a good portion of players spend not a single cent.
