League of Legends, or LoL, is an incredible game. What makes the game even better is the cool League of Legends skins. There are more than a thousand skins available in LoL, and more are being added every now and then. So, it could be confusing to pick the right skins when you have decided to purchase some. If you are a player who is looking to learn more about them, this post will really help you.
Here, I will tell you about all the amazing League of Legends Skins (Rare, Champion, Legacy, Free, and more). Just go through this post and you’ll have a long list of favorite LoL skins.
What are the League of Legends (LoL) Skins?
League of Legends is a massively popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game from Riot Games. It is available on Windows and Mac computers. Skin refers to an alternate appearance or color scheme for any League of Legends champion. You can purchase them from the game client’s Riot Store with your RP (Riot Points), which is the in-game currency. Having a nice skin won’t necessarily guarantee a win in the game, it is crucial to know the strong and weak sides of each champion. For example, here’s a build for Ezreal with the highest win rate possible. By studying champions like Ezreal and learning his strengths and weaknesses can ultimately improve your gameplay and increase your chances of winning.
As I have mentioned above, there have been more than 1000 skins available in LoL. You can even get some of them for free. Skins ONLY change the appearance. They do not affect the stats in any way. Or else, LoL would be known as a Pay2Win game. However, some skins can change the appearance of the spells.
One advantage that having shining skins on your champion or weapon gives is the significant confidence boosts. They help you to stand toe-to-toe with your opponents fiercely.
Best League of Legends (LoL) Skins in 2020
Skins are one of the most interesting parts of any game. The same is the case with League of Legends. The best thing is they don’t alter a champion’s abilities but only make them look like they’ll own the battle. You can get skins in LoL by using RP, anywhere between 390 to 3250 depending upon the tier, and even some for free. Currently, there is also a sale going on where you can purchase some really good skins for a cheap price.
We went through the whole catalog of LoL skins, from Usual to Epic, to Legendary, and even Ultimate tier skins, and have found out the best ones for you. If you are an LoL fan, you are going to love these skins.

When LoL released Blitzcrank, they also released a default and a buyable skin with it as usual. But the buyable skins, which was the Rusty Blitzcrank, was removed from the Store only after 10 days because the players complained it looks similar to the default one. Hence, only fewest lucky LoL veterans have it.
3. Silver Kayle
The Silver Kayle skin was released with the original retail copy of League of Legends in 2009. This skin was only available in the original physical editions that were disabled in 2014. So, it is one of the rarest skins in the game.
