Skins Galore!

Ah, the good ole days of League of Legends when we had a handful of skin types! Remember when the only choices were Standard, Deluxe, Epic, Legendary, and that sweet Ultimate? Now it feels like you need a cheat sheet just to keep track of all the crazy options like Transcendent and Mythic Variants. If you’re a veteran player scratching your head or a newbie utterly lost in the skin jungle, don’t fret! Our League of Legends skin guide is here to save the day (and your wallet). We’ve packed it with everything you need, from the latest skin sales to the scoop on Your Shop.

Current Sales and Your Shop Information

Let’s cut to the chase—here’s what you can snag right now while the sale is still on. You can grab these skins until Monday, August 3, at 10 AM PST / 1 PM EST / 6 PM BST / 7 PM CEST. It’s a golden opportunity to deck out your favorite champs!

Now, while you might be tempted to drop some RP on unlocking champions in the store (don’t do it!)—trust me, you’ll quickly stack up enough skin shards and Blue Essence to create your dream team. Save those hard-earned RP for some killer skins instead.

Heads up! The League of Legends Your Shop is live right now but it ends on Tuesday, August 18, at 10 AM PST / 1 PM EST / 6 PM BST / 7 PM CEST. This event is probably a way to gear up for the much-anticipated League of Legends Classic launch, so you won’t want to miss it!

Wondering about the tiers of skins? Here’s the breakdown from the fanciest to the least flashy. Remember, there are a few exceptions lurking around, which I’ll spill the tea on shortly.

Now, some older Ultimate skins (like Gun Goddess Miss Fortune) might not burn a hole in your pocket quite as much, while those exclusive event skins like Pax Sivir, Pax Jax, and Pax Twisted Fate have vanished into the nostalgia ether. Let’s not forget those beta skins, such as Black Alistair, Silver Kayle, Young Ryze, and King Rammus—they’re like unicorns, totally non-existent now!

As a little icing on the cake, Riot has officially waved goodbye to Standard or Budget skins, so now you mainly score skins through the store or Hextech Chests. Epic-tier is now the new baseline for what you can buy.

So, there you have it! Everything you need to navigate the world of League of Legends skins. Now go ahead, splurge on some epic skins, and show off your style on the rift!
