If you think about it, the possibilities seem to be infinite. Every champion gets a new skin now and then, and with the game's consistent updates, the League of Legends universe keeps expanding at a phenomenal rate. In the sections below, we'll answer all your burning questions about skins. From how many there are in total, to chroma skins, to the champions boasting the most skins, we've got it all covered. 

And for the collectors out there, we also talk about the value of your possibly treasured skins and highlight some of the rarest skins that exist in the world of League of Legends.

Are your Skins worth anything?

Firstly, it's essential to understand that value in the context of LoL skins can be looked at from different angles. There's the literal worth that Riot Games assigns to skins in terms of Riot Points (RP), but also a different value that's tied to a skin's rarity, age, and exclusivity. 

Yes, your skins do have value, more so if they're limited-edition ones or tied to significant events. However, it’s crucial to note that League of Legends does not have an official marketplace for trading or selling skins. Nevertheless, they carry a kind of social currency in the game, with certain skins raising your status and making you stand out in the Summoner's Rift. 

Skins like 'PAX Twisted Fate', 'PAX Sivir', and 'Black Alistar,' for instance, are ultra-rare and boast an almost legendary status among players. Owning these can immediately spark awe or envy among your fellow gamers. 

Owning old and rare skins like 'Rusty Blitzcrank' and 'Judgement Kayle' shows everyone that you are an 'OG' and that your account is over 10 years old, because those are no longer available.

But how much are my skins really worth?

Now, we do not condone breaking Riot Games' rules, but our job here is to inform, so here goes. Even though trading is not possible in LoL, there is a black market for buying and selling accounts including various rare skins. As of right now, 'PAX Sivir' is valued around $300 while 'Black Alistar' goes for over a $1000, with countless of other rare skins valued in-between.

How can I obtain Rare Skins?

Well, the thing is that you can't unless you resort to the illegal buying of an account. Don't waste your money on that. Instead, invent a time-travelling machine and go back to the year 2009 and just get them yourself. Oh, and don't forget to stock up on a couple of Bitcoins, too.

You'll find the rarest of them all: Black Alistar. This skin was offered as a bonus for pre-ordering the collector's edition of League of Legends in 2009. Yes, that's right, you read it correctly—it dates back to the time when the game was just being introduced! With its dark and dominating appearance, Black Alistar is as intimidating as it is elusive. Hence, it's a skin that gets treasured like an antique. 

Then there's the eye-catching PAX Twisted Fate. This skin was handed out during the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) in 2009.

We also have Silver Kayle which was included in the retail collector's edition of the game, and Judgment Kayle, a commemorative skin awarded to players who have played at least ten games during Season 1. A lot of really old players should have this skin.

Finally, King Rammus, another historical artifact in the League. This skin was given to the players who participated in the League of Legends Closed Beta. King Rammus gives our good old turtle champion a wicked appearance that reminds of a certain iconic game character, don't you think? 👨🏻‍🔧🍄

With a multitude of skins and chromas to suit every champion and satisfy every player's style and personality, League of Legends continues to captivate gamers around the globe. From the iconic Silver Kayle to the revered Judgment Kayle, these skins are a part of the rich lore of Runeterra and they are also the main way that Riot Games makes money since LoL is free to play.
