This year, Riot Games has upgraded the skins package. With almost 150 new appearances, the summoners were able to (re) discover old sets but the studio also created new lines, like that of the Spiritual Flower. Find our top of the most beautiful skins of the year! Riot Games announced the color last September, releasing more and more League of Legends skins. The target for 2020 was 120 new appearances, which by the way was largely exceeded – and in 2021 there will be even more! Determining which skins are the most successful is still a difficult task, and as you can imagine, this top is subjective.
6 – Senna of the West
After Lucian, it seemed logical for Riot Games to release a similarly themed skin for his wife, recently escaped from Thresh’s Lantern – and the result is here!
Released in May 2020, another champion accompanied the redemptrix, Irelia. The West Family was formed in 2011 with the release of Twisted Fate West. Very popular with gamers, Riot Games has been constantly creating new skins on this theme for many champions ever since. We can think of Ashe, Darius and Hecarim of the West which came out late last year.
5 – Lee Sin & Aurelion Sol Storm Dragon
This new line of skins, the Dracomancers, was released in September, with no less than five champions: Lee Sin, Aurelion Sol, Ashe, Brand and Sett. These new appearances had dragons as a theme, a very recurring imaginary in the League of Legends lore but also in various existing skin lines (Dragon slayer, dragon tree, etc.).
For many, this announcement was very well received as there were so many players who had been waiting for a long time to skin on the Star Smith. FYI, Sett had the right to a prestige edition – it must be said that the Boss was still very young in the fault and it was a way for Riot Games to put it even more forward.
4 – Yasuo Spiritual Flower
Yes, yes, we put Yasuo on the list – no offense to some. Whether we love or hate the Disgraced, it is clear that this appearance is canon.
This new game of skins can be reminiscent of that of Spiritual Travel (Janna with the sacred sword, Yi with the eternal sword) because of its colors but also its inspirations drawn from the Asian universe. It had been launched with great fanfare for the release of Yone, Yasuo’s brother (the two champions also have a skin on the theme) all accompanied by a large-scale event but above all completely new.
3 – Morgana of the assembly
At the end of April, three new assembly skins were released for LeBlanc, Morgana and Zyra – terrifying but above all very powerful witches.
This family of skins, created in November 2018, only included its two original members: Lissandra and Camille. Riot Games has identified the champions rather well, or rather the champions who stick perfectly to this theme, that of the witches – with Morgana at their head.
2 – Urgot cosplay guardian of pyjamas
Because we had to fit this monumental Riot Games troll into our top. Considered a meme in the community for years, the studio finally gave in to deliver this absolutely hilarious version of the crusher to us.
The Star Guardian Urgot skin had long been hoped for by part of the community – some petitions were even clamouring for the addition of this in-game skin. Note that this is not a Star Guardian skin, but Pajama Guardian, a family of skins derived from the first one.
1 – Sylvan Ivern
In the very first place, we chose Ivern Sylvestre. Why? Because it is with this skin that Riot Games finally did justice to the Elder of the Forest.
If we remember that he joined Darius on the basketball court, with his April 2019 skin, Ivern King of Dunk, it is clear that seeing him as a corrupt entity fits better with his story.
The more far-sighted among you will have noticed that Morgana of the Assembly stands in front of Ivern, showing that this family of skins belong to the same universe as the Woodland skins. Morgana of the Assembly seems to have a special cult following in this darker-than-usual Ivern.
And you, what were your favorites this year?
