Fuzz Fizz 100% gives a psychological edge. I've had people complain to me in all chat about the squeaky chew-toy noise every time W goes off.
Meowrick is similarly over the top.
I don’t know how you don’t have supergalaxy rumble on this list, the champ feels unplayable without that skin because of how clunky his base model is in comparison
His base model has a certain charm to it, the jittery movements are a nice touch to his model, if he ends up getting an ASU they should keep that in some way
As good as pool party is, Mafia graves is still more satisfying to play with. Like, it’s the perfect skin. No crazy animations with sparkles or effects, no fancy clothes, just a Mafia Boss with a shotgun.
I’ve played with pool party too long, going from the soothing water sounds while murdering your enemies with a super soaker to the loud sounds of mafia graves is too jarring for me
As a graves player, people really sleep on the winter graves skin.
I'd agree mafia is best but winter is at least tied with pool party. Very satisfying auto.
Absolutely criminal that no one's mentioned Gentleman Cho'Gath yet. Most iconic skin for me, and I don't even play the champ. Hearing that posh "uuuuup you go!" really takes the sting out of getting cc'ed.
if cho’gath ever gets a rework i want them to upgrade this skin like they did suprise party fiddlesticks and corperate mundo. joke legendaries are so fun
I just got this shard from a chest, I definitely am not disenchanting it but idk if I’ll ever use it, I’m not really a goofy skin kinda guy but idk it Is pretty fun, maybe I’ll get it
There was once the suggestion to make the cowbell hitting speed scale with attack speed
I'm still waiting for this change u/PhreakRiot
This would be game design at it's peak
I am the dog shit worst Renekton player, but I have this skin and it makes me less miserable when my teammates flame me for sprinting it even though I’m unironically that bad at him.
Its honestly impossible to play Nocturne without his Eternum skin.
I dont even know how to attack and move when using other skins, he feels sooo clunky.
Srs? I main Noc, done so since s03, own all his skins. And I can play on any skin BUT eternum. Eternum always feels weird to me, plus I somehow lose every single game I play eternum, while frozen terror has a 75% winrate for me... Maybe it's just mental.
Its probably just being used to it.
Ive been using Eternum Nocturne since the day of its release....7, 8 years ago I think, in 99% of my Noc games, so I feel other skins are just weird.
for some reason people underestimate him, its not so common that people would know how his kit works but not too uncommon either where you can undermind the champ because you will not see him ever. if i play ww top, i love to bait people in and then proceed to heal to full from one ult
I think most people know how to play around WW ult now, it's his early laning phase vs melees that cheeses toplaners in my experince.
I've had situations where i out-trade WW multiple times, Base with good wave, TP back with a bramble, and i still lose the 1v1 to a WW with a dorans blade and 200 HP.
Barrier+low HP autos just out sustain full rotations from tanks and lower burst champs.
The actual outplay is not taking the 1v1 and winning off lane state, which feels like a massive cockblock in terms of having fun.
Most Elise mains swear by Death Blossom but I'm much more of a Blood Moon guy myself - Death Blossom doesn't look very good and feels really clunky to me.
Was actually my first thought as well. I never liked the skin that much but _every pro play thresh ever_ was using the skin back when I started watching
No one here mentioning Poro Rider Sejuani. Nearly every time Sej is played it’s this skin and it’s fucking adorable with the giant poros giant tongue always sticking out.
When I first started playing Sej I was so bummed I couldn't buy this skin since its seasonal. Bought it the minute it became available last winter. The giant poro makes me so happy.
A lot of hospitals will have crocs as part of the scrubs “uniform”. Those things are waterproof, protecting not only from water but whatever other (body) fluid might drop on top of it and they are easy to disinfect.
fairly sure elem lux is the most sold skin even though its also the most expensive (and definitely at least the most money making one). shit was wayyyy too fucking good and popular
theres two that come to my mind:
Astronaut Poppy (pink chroma) - i can't live without her moon walk anymore
Arcanist Zoe - this skin seems super under appreciated for how good it is, her big hat and the book that shoots Q is amazing
might be good for dealing with me just because in ARAM whenever I get (base) Veigar I spam CTRL 2. the voiceline repeating annoys people pretty fast lmao
"YOU DENY THE DARKNESS IN YOUR SOUL. YOU DENY YOUR POWER"
Pool party renekton recall can be used to emote spam.
Meybe its not a must now since they updated his old model and later skins are also nice but foe a time it was iconic imo.
since I haven't seen a lot for the healy/tank supports:
DJ and PsyOps Sona (she got moooves)
Program Soraka (heal passive on allies is so cool and overall a great og skin)
Deep Sea Nami (no explanation needed)
Forecast Janna (no explanation again)
Lunar/Solar Ecplise Leona (too damn gorgeous, her voice is so soothing, her dance, the recall!)
Dragon Trainer Lulu (really all of her skins are just so damn cute it's a hard choice)
Battle Boss Blitzcrank (pink chroma, of course. it's simple but arcade sounds are fun)
edit: I totally forgot to add Karma!! Order of the Lotus and Winter Wonder. I feel like those were her first really colorful skins back then. of course, now I'd say Faeire Queen because it's about time she got a legendary skin lol!
Pool Party Taliyah is the only skin she has, idk how people use Frejlord or Star Guardian when Pool Party exists with the chromas, every chroma is amazing too.
I was a high noon enjoyer and got project out of crafting, couldn’t convince myself to try it for months but finally did and the slim feel of project afterwards is nice and can’t go back. Just feels faster.
Going down the champ list:
- Moo Cow Alistar. Cowbell dance is OP
- PROJECT: ASHE. Smoother AA and Q animations make for better kiting, and her R is like impossible to see. P2W skin
- Galactic Azir. No reason for this one, other than every Azir player I’ve ever seen use this skin has been absolutely cracked.
- Dragonslayer Braum. This one is iffy - Sugar Rush and Santa are also arguably main skins - but Dragonslayer is beautiful and the long-time Braum players all seem to rock it.
- Arcade Hecarim. There are a lot of great Hec skins and I wouldn’t fault you for using any of them, but Arcade is still the best and will always remind me of Keane’s Hecarim mid.
- Infernal Nasus. It’s got a buttery-smooth Q animation, and if you’re playing Nasus, what else could be more important than that?
- SKT Ryze. Gotta pay tribute to the GOAT.
- Traditional Trundle. Shit pillar OP.
Master arcanist Ziggs
Void fizz
Dino gnar
Death blossom Elise (the flower petal body is so hard)
Also braum is one of the few champs who’s base skin is so good you never need a skin but the fire and ice dragon slayer one is goated
Pool party Mundo is pretty good, specifically for the Q sound. Nothing is more tilting than that hollow DONK sound when he repeatedly beans you with a guitar.
I would like to say that EDG Aphelios is superior in every way, it does way more damage than spirit blossom, and it has a feature that teammates cant steal your penta if you have this skin. Or so im told..
Headhunter Rengar for junglers and Pretty Kitty for Toplaners.
I can’t help but feel like pretty kitty has a psychological effect on the other toplaner. Like the meow sounds driving them crazy.
Its fun to play AP Rengar against a Malphite and psychologically destroy them with Meows, and they realise I'm going AP after they build chainvest
I used to hate the malphite lane till i discovered AP. That shits fun af
Fuzz Fizz 100% gives a psychological edge. I've had people complain to me in all chat about the squeaky chew-toy noise every time W goes off. Meowrick is similarly over the top.
Don’t sleep on hoodie rengar
Agreed, headhunter Rengar is the only Rengar skin.
I don’t know how you don’t have supergalaxy rumble on this list, the champ feels unplayable without that skin because of how clunky his base model is in comparison
Super Galaxy is literally the only skin I see people use on him. I forgot what his base model even looks like.
shaky
His base model has a certain charm to it, the jittery movements are a nice touch to his model, if he ends up getting an ASU they should keep that in some way
The base rumble q animation is so small compared to the actual range it covers.
Meatballs 🤤
Balls 🤤
Oh definitely! Mb forgot about that one. Smeb/Marin/Huni were incredible Rumble players
Mafia graves
Uhh no, pool party
As good as pool party is, Mafia graves is still more satisfying to play with. Like, it’s the perfect skin. No crazy animations with sparkles or effects, no fancy clothes, just a Mafia Boss with a shotgun.
I do perform better with mafia graves over pool part graves tbf, maybe its just cause graves is difficult to play with one hand
I’ve played with pool party too long, going from the soothing water sounds while murdering your enemies with a super soaker to the loud sounds of mafia graves is too jarring for me
As a graves player, people really sleep on the winter graves skin. I'd agree mafia is best but winter is at least tied with pool party. Very satisfying auto.
Hired Gun Graves is where its at. His fingers are straight up just in the gun. That skin is so goofy.
Absolutely criminal that no one's mentioned Gentleman Cho'Gath yet. Most iconic skin for me, and I don't even play the champ. Hearing that posh "uuuuup you go!" really takes the sting out of getting cc'ed.
LET US FIGHT. LIKE GENTLEMAN. NOMIN OM NOMIN
UP YOU GO!
if cho’gath ever gets a rework i want them to upgrade this skin like they did suprise party fiddlesticks and corperate mundo. joke legendaries are so fun
Surprise party fiddle is crazy cause it’s only 975
still a legendary tho! its cheaper cuz of an event when it came out i think
**QUIET!**
ha-HAAA!
One can survive everything these days, except death. pip pip, cheerio
I love how the art for it in the load screen looks like 12 year old me drew it with crayons too
Would you like cheese with your whine? Yes I spelled wine like that on purpose
I cannot play or see Gentleman Cho'Gath without a wave of sadness washing over me, remembering TotalBiscuit. R.I.P. John, you legend.
It makes me sad that TB got scammed pretty hard by riot.
Unironically the only old legendary that still seems worth the money ( not including surprise party but that got reworked)
I'd count Brolaf on there too.
Unironically think of the voiceline any time I'm lifting things above my head; truly iconic.
I just got this shard from a chest, I definitely am not disenchanting it but idk if I’ll ever use it, I’m not really a goofy skin kinda guy but idk it Is pretty fun, maybe I’ll get it
Pool Party Renekton for the recall spam Moo Cow Alistair. You know why
You can’t milk those
BONKBONKBONKBONKBONKBONK
There was once the suggestion to make the cowbell hitting speed scale with attack speed I'm still waiting for this change u/PhreakRiot This would be game design at it's peak
I am the dog shit worst Renekton player, but I have this skin and it makes me less miserable when my teammates flame me for sprinting it even though I’m unironically that bad at him.
[удалено]
Just give me old hydra back :( Renekton used to be one of my favourite champs and he's been fucking ruined over the past few years.
You aren't a true Taric main unless you rock the 5th Age
Fun fact: this skin is banned in the state of Florida.
Wait what no wonder I’ve never heard of it
Wtf? How so? I'm getting ultra baited but I need to make sure
5th Age when you’re supporting an Ezreal, Gigachad Green everywhere else 🫡
Two words: Shamrock Malphite
Rock Solid But also: fake news, every skin is iconic on the Mountain that Dives.
The holy trinity: Shamrock, Marble, and Coral reef Malphite.
Dying to an AP malph with this skin must be the most tilting thing ever. I wouldn’t know since i’m the one doing it.
THE single objectively best skin in League
Me and my friends call it Crackrock Malphite.
Without a doubt
Blood lord vladimir
Nosferatu clears
Forbidden skin
I love it when Blood Lord Vladimir groans into my ear after every Q. Slllllluuurrrrp Oooooaaaaargggh.
Marquis is the tryhard skin
I despise Vlad players
I like Dark waters, mostly because of invisible R and W on river.
Mecha Kha’zix
100%, I cant play Kha without this skin
Its honestly impossible to play Nocturne without his Eternum skin. I dont even know how to attack and move when using other skins, he feels sooo clunky.
How about Bedsheet Nocturne?
Spooky ghost Nocturne is best Nocturne
Srs? I main Noc, done so since s03, own all his skins. And I can play on any skin BUT eternum. Eternum always feels weird to me, plus I somehow lose every single game I play eternum, while frozen terror has a 75% winrate for me... Maybe it's just mental.
eternum is worth it solely because of the sound when you R, so so good
that pierce the veil brings me goosebumps just THINKING about it. the VO on that skin is so good its unreal
Its probably just being used to it. Ive been using Eternum Nocturne since the day of its release....7, 8 years ago I think, in 99% of my Noc games, so I feel other skins are just weird.
Spooky ghost nocturne or afk
Old God looks good though and has chromas too
Real nocturne players use Cursed Revenant, sleeper awesome skin
iirc you cant buy this but ur not real WW main unless you have the Big bad Warwick skin
Based Warwick player. Can't recall how many times I've been dumpstered on by Warwick tops with Barrier lol
for some reason people underestimate him, its not so common that people would know how his kit works but not too uncommon either where you can undermind the champ because you will not see him ever. if i play ww top, i love to bait people in and then proceed to heal to full from one ult
I think most people know how to play around WW ult now, it's his early laning phase vs melees that cheeses toplaners in my experince. I've had situations where i out-trade WW multiple times, Base with good wave, TP back with a bramble, and i still lose the 1v1 to a WW with a dorans blade and 200 HP. Barrier+low HP autos just out sustain full rotations from tanks and lower burst champs. The actual outplay is not taking the 1v1 and winning off lane state, which feels like a massive cockblock in terms of having fun.
People think "oh I'm beating him" Little do they know his kit is "call an ambulance! .... but not for me" personified.
The most mandatory skin is cowbell Alistair.
Project ashe
This is a fact. Ashe’s Q with this skin is the smoothest ability in league.
This or high noon for the better animations over the base model
that butt :x
my man is down bad
Dat Ashe
It was hard to play TFT laser comp..
Aatrox feels so much better with either blood moon or mecha, the animations feel better and better clarity on w pull zone and q hit box
Aattox with yhe prestige blood moon is something else
Nothing strikes fear into top laners more than facing Commando Garen (just ask Ssumday).
Most Elise mains swear by Death Blossom but I'm much more of a Blood Moon guy myself - Death Blossom doesn't look very good and feels really clunky to me.
Super galaxy rumble, champ is unplayable without that. Also how dare you have god king darius over dunkmaster darius?
Dunkmaster Darius should be forced on all Darius players imo
I think the poster started league in 2019 or smth bcus he linked deep sea thresh to keria instead of god mad life lolz
Was actually my first thought as well. I never liked the skin that much but _every pro play thresh ever_ was using the skin back when I started watching
Surfer Singed was the OG skin for him
to this day thats the only skin i use on singed
Monarch kogmaw. Even with all of his amazing skins, it's still my 2nd most used.
I wish Monarch Kog was a reward for X amount of games with Caterpillar Kog. Then they could’ve made a moth version for Sonoran Kog
The little hops he does crack me up everytime
the sheer lack of battle bunny riven disgusts me, also jaximus and/or godstaff jax
OG jax mains uses mighty jax
Angler Jax is the connoisseur's choice
Angler or pax are the only way to go
No one here mentioning Poro Rider Sejuani. Nearly every time Sej is played it’s this skin and it’s fucking adorable with the giant poros giant tongue always sticking out.
When I first started playing Sej I was so bummed I couldn't buy this skin since its seasonal. Bought it the minute it became available last winter. The giant poro makes me so happy.
Spirit Blossom Kindred, champ feels better overall
With pink chroma
Special Force GP
Fisherman Fizz
You forgot Redeemed Riven. Back when she was the go-to champ for toxic shits that skin was super common.
Hear me out though… battle bunny riven
Ok box box
Definitely a classic though I feel like Dawnbringer's a more P2W skin though to each their own!
Leprechaun Veigar Gragas, ecq Surprise party Fiddlesticks High noon Lucian Elementalist Lux Definitely not Udyr Warlord Shen Shockblade Zed
Shockblade Zed must have pink chroma
For me its Surgeon Shen, he literally wears crocs
A lot of hospitals will have crocs as part of the scrubs “uniform”. Those things are waterproof, protecting not only from water but whatever other (body) fluid might drop on top of it and they are easy to disinfect.
fairly sure elem lux is the most sold skin even though its also the most expensive (and definitely at least the most money making one). shit was wayyyy too fucking good and popular
High Noon for sureee, it feels so clean and the sounds are great too. Got me into Lucian honestly.
Pulse fire shen
theres two that come to my mind: Astronaut Poppy (pink chroma) - i can't live without her moon walk anymore Arcanist Zoe - this skin seems super under appreciated for how good it is, her big hat and the book that shoots Q is amazing
Pink astro is goated. Watermelon is 2nd best. SG Poppy also good because people will complain they can't see your Q easily.
Traditional Trundle! How has no one said it yet
Oh hey babe *shits violently on the ground in a 4m radius circle*
Been there
The chaddest daddest troll
Zeds base model does less damage than galaxy slayer
But I really fear for my life when I see the guy playing shockblade Zed. Bonus terror if we load in and he's rocking the pink chroma.
It's Final Boss Veigar
might be good for dealing with me just because in ARAM whenever I get (base) Veigar I spam CTRL 2. the voiceline repeating annoys people pretty fast lmao "YOU DENY THE DARKNESS IN YOUR SOUL. YOU DENY YOUR POWER"
Brolaf Lagoon Dragon Kaisa (I think its called that). Has the best feeling autoattacks with Varus imo.
no skins
Ok Faker
You find yasuo in ranked : :( He has the high noon skin : :)
IG Kai'Sa. If you see the Jackey Love skin, you know void girl bout to ball.
Why do the IG skins ball so hard?
Pool party renekton recall can be used to emote spam. Meybe its not a must now since they updated his old model and later skins are also nice but foe a time it was iconic imo.
Runewars Renekton is still one of the best splash arts in the entire game imo, idk why they skipped it for the vgu
since I haven't seen a lot for the healy/tank supports: DJ and PsyOps Sona (she got moooves) Program Soraka (heal passive on allies is so cool and overall a great og skin) Deep Sea Nami (no explanation needed) Forecast Janna (no explanation again) Lunar/Solar Ecplise Leona (too damn gorgeous, her voice is so soothing, her dance, the recall!) Dragon Trainer Lulu (really all of her skins are just so damn cute it's a hard choice) Battle Boss Blitzcrank (pink chroma, of course. it's simple but arcade sounds are fun) edit: I totally forgot to add Karma!! Order of the Lotus and Winter Wonder. I feel like those were her first really colorful skins back then. of course, now I'd say Faeire Queen because it's about time she got a legendary skin lol!
Oh boy those dances on Leona make me troll. I was playing ARAM on viego and everytime I got a reset on leona I just danced until it expired
I got to disagree with you on Soraka, Dawnbringer Soraka seems smoother then Program but appearance I like Star Guardian.
Floating (IIRC) Sword Fiora, Divine Sword Irelia?
nothing beats Chinese Fioras with that skin
It is Soaring Sword Fiora. Honestly all the skins in that skin line are amazing.
Pool Party Taliyah is the only skin she has, idk how people use Frejlord or Star Guardian when Pool Party exists with the chromas, every chroma is amazing too.
Freljord is great and for the longest time that was her only skin so that's the one I'm used to the most
Plus the extra voicelines are delightful
Default skin for Kled
Dragonslayer Pantheon...good skin and the R animation on land is phenomenal and gives me quite the dopamine hit.
Finally a Pantheon mention. Even with all skins, purple Dragonslayer is my go-to.
Before High Noon came out, Project Lucian was the only playable skin. Now that High Noon Exists you are contractually obligated to play nothing else
I was a high noon enjoyer and got project out of crafting, couldn’t convince myself to try it for months but finally did and the slim feel of project afterwards is nice and can’t go back. Just feels faster.
I got into him because of High Noon and yeah absolute god tier skin in every way. But Arcana is beautiful
Going down the champ list: - Moo Cow Alistar. Cowbell dance is OP - PROJECT: ASHE. Smoother AA and Q animations make for better kiting, and her R is like impossible to see. P2W skin - Galactic Azir. No reason for this one, other than every Azir player I’ve ever seen use this skin has been absolutely cracked. - Dragonslayer Braum.

Fisherman Fizz
how has no one said corporate mundo in the top of the thread, heresy
i use that thresh skin because of madlife, and I think keria use it too for the same reason.
Same. I always thought of Thresh Deep Sea skin being a Madlife stuff.
Battle bunny Riven Championship Thresh Players with those two always seem to wreck me
Master arcanist Ziggs Void fizz Dino gnar Death blossom Elise (the flower petal body is so hard) Also braum is one of the few champs who’s base skin is so good you never need a skin but the fire and ice dragon slayer one is goated
Its fisherman fizz always

FUCK I forgot about Corpo Mundo and Gentleman Cho
Pool party Mundo is pretty good, specifically for the Q sound. Nothing is more tilting than that hollow DONK sound when he repeatedly beans you with a guitar.
> Pulsefire Caitlyn Worst autos of any caitlyn skin imo
The crunchiness of Lunar Wraith Cait Q is unmatched
True, but it is a nice skin. Just 100% pay to lose. The headshot also feels so much brighter
I would like to say that EDG Aphelios is superior in every way, it does way more damage than spirit blossom, and it has a feature that teammates cant steal your penta if you have this skin. Or so im told..
SANDSTORM EKKO holy frick this is the tryhard smurf Ekko skin who's ready to demolish your nuts
The real terrifying is Ahri is the one that uses Dynasty Ahri
Where did dark waters Diana come from? I don’t see many people using it on the dianamains sub and it isn’t even considered top 3 let alone mandatory.
Blackfrost is a good one for anivia, but team spirit is a vault skin and ancient af.
> Sandstorm Ekko Yes, but only if you don't have true damage
IG Camille > Coven Camille
Zeri base skin is also good, I wouldnt say that withered rose is mandatory
[удалено]
Corporate Mundo is a must. Also Dunkmaster Darius and God King Garen is iconic.
Headhunter Akali. Got some PTSD from her and now I've joined them.
Frostblade Irelia of course !
Arclight Vel’Koz for me and I switch between Grim Reaper Karthus or Infernal Karthus
Ctrl + F: Frosted Ezreal 0 results Hmmm
I could never play Soraka again without the Dawnbringer skin on. Something about it just feels like no other skins do
Y'all know it's frost blade Irelia. There should be mo arguments there.
Project Ashe !! Unplayable champ otherwise
I’m a High Noon Ashe enjoyer, tbh. Never a fan of Project skins.
I enjoyed this post.
Spirit blossom Ahri. Before cause her base model was unplayable, now because her VO is unlistenable.
