The Top 10 BEST League Skins of 2023

[@ImperiousMax]

Broken Covenant Cho'gath unfortunately suffers from "amazing splashart, but clunky 3D/outdated model", which is unfortunate to a degree cause the concept is downright AMAZING--

[@sonicwave779]

And I don't think anyone bought it. I have yet to see it in a game.

[@sspectre8217]

Yeah, whenever they give him a VGU (because they have to, an ASU wouldn’t be enough) that skin is going to look amazing

[@datzfatz2368]

​​@@sonicwave779i got it from a chest and honestly? I like it. Yeah, its extremely underwhelming compared to the concept, but its cute. The Q spawning Gothic Cathedrals is enough to make the skin neat^^

[@barondarc8459]

Same with Rumble's cafe cuties, peeps callin it bad because of what it looks ingame but the concept is actually great, hope they get the ASU treatment in 2029 so we could bask in their full glory.

[@bioraidos5454]

Honestly, even with the model being absolutely jank the fact that they made his claws into fingers that are actually animated in the splash art is nuts. They made quite the alteration to the mesh to do that and I love it.

[@smahstone]

Give skarner a bee skin, and every time he uses his ult he dies. Because he is a bee now

I thought Inkshadow was cool on him too, tbh.

[@nyctocide]

@@ocelot09 Yeah, I respect Nicky’s opinion, but I don’t think I can get past my hatred of Yone to say he’s the best inkshadow, A Sol is still my fav

[@PedroFelix456]

You know Qiyana's La Illusion skin is great in many more aspects that just being beautifull. The skin lore is the "opposite" of Qiyana's lore in pretty much all of her skins and default champion. La Illusion Qiyana is the spirit of a dea girl that keeps watch and protects her family, as oppose to her other skins where she's antagonistic with them.

[@rebeccawaldie8046]

Why does it feel longer than a year since we got Broken Covenant Cho'gath? I swear it feels like it came out way longer than that. Also, 100% on the Nami skin. They did an awesome job re-imagining her.

[@Vernafveik]

While she’s not on the list, I’m glad Renata Glasc won the New Champion Skin Lottery, and wasn’t instantly forgotten… Rell.

[@ethanstyant9704]

Her prestige version was FANTASTIC

[@animepenguin7254]

That Urgot skins looks awesome , I’m waiting for that Neeko skin ever since I saw that TFT trailer, I need it. I love the artwork for Cho, he’s my second most played but he desperately needs the video rework to make his skins cooler

Make Viego a sentient beehive, with bees flying out of his chest. His E is releasing a cloud of bees onto the map.

[@liamhotze6736]

Beetlesticks, where its a tree piloted by a ton of different bees, his massive is honeycomb versions of himself, his q shoots out a bee, his W is a swarm of bees polinating, his E staff is just a bark limb with honeycomb hanging off of it, and his R is a swarm of bees. Make it happen riot

[@abramtabor7726]

As a Vel'Koz main - this is an absolute win.

[@mistertuinkabouter]

Karthus main here, great to see elderwood on the list. Awesome skin especially with the ruby chroma.

Gets to number 1 “Yeah it’s a bee skin.” *bee-koz* “Well. I do know this guy a little bit”

i really hope they eventually make the bee line an all champ line of skins. really curious of some of then "wierder" champs. nidalbee, cassiobeea, lilbeea. or if they will make some bee keepers sort of like singed. i wouldnt mind a few more of them

Not having soul fighter viego in the list is a crime.

[@MessaoudiYaksan]

Imo soul fighter Viego and heartsteel kayn both deserved a spot here

[@Irbisadventurer]

I'm pleased, that you chose Kata in this list. Also, don't worry, Cho was really good skin, especially with his really bad model, his effects and idea is top notch.

[@tomohawkingenius]

I'm playing Nami rn for the Coven Skin, it's so freakin nice. I do wish they went further with the cosmic horror, and she was truly something worth fearing, especially in her voice.

I'll be honest, I've never even SEEN that Cho'Gath skin, and I play league weekly

Can't wait for Beevern to finally drop and make Nicky lose all of his shit.

I'm also looking forward for what Riot is going to do this year. Mostly to see if they surive the year to begin with.

[@ilsu2178]

My favorite skin added was Crystalis Motus Taliyah. I say that as a Taliyah main, but it's such a pretty skin, and I think it's the best Crystalis Motus skin so far.

[@magolord7596]

I had feeling this would be the number 1 skin... and it's perfect

[@luckypeanut9943]

I need a beevern skin so badly, his lanky noodle animations would look amazing with dripping honey

[@enderminn804]

Cho should be number 1. NOTHONG else is as inventive or pleasing on the eye. It hits every mark on a perfect skin

[@soaps7033]

soul fighter samira is my favorite skin, just so clean

[@drix012]

Imagine a Bee skin of Riot's Favorites (Lux, Yasuo, Yone, Lee Sin, etc.) released all on the same patch with no Monster champs in it.

[@louiskostasredojevic]

Seeing this on stream got me laughing SO HARD ! It's Bee'koz bee'koz it's Bee'koz ! His name is the reason why he's the best skin BEE'KOZ ! Alright I'm sorry

[@GranMaj]

Broken Covenant Cho is such a tragedy. I main him, but even I realize how freaking horrendeous this skin translate to 3D model. The only skin that makes his model looks acceptable is either battlecast or Dark star. I have the skin shard, but i refuse to craft it until he receive VGU.

[@16bitSteven]

Personally my favorite skin of 2023 was Mythmaker Irelia. It was so well done.

[@The.Official.Serpentine]

IMOP Prestige Renata is the best skin in the LI skinline, but they refused to or just couldn't (for spaghetti code reasons) just unparent the skin from the base one so she has her mask filter on an unmasked skin, which is sad, but apart from that, the skin is freaking *f l a w l e s s.* My best, and only, videogame purchase of the year, and it was 100% worth the 20 bucks it cost me XD

[@xemnasssss4485]

Why not have a wasp skin line, the arch enemies of bees. They would look more evil while keeping the idea of bees

[@carriebrute3627]

Soul fighter Gwen is good ? Wow is almost like if riot gave their cute characters cute relationships instead of making her be a prick to everyone for absolutely no reason it fits her lore and character better than her actual canon character (lor Gwen with her ball dance is also pretty fun)

[@zotblase4371]

I think this kind of videos suffer a bit from not showing the skins and animations while talking about them. I myself don't play a lot of league, so I don't really know or recognice most of the skins on the vid and showing them for a split second with a ton of effects before moving to the next is so annoying man, I'd love to see why nicky is saying that the skin is sooo good so pretty but it turns into annoyance if I cant even see them. Showing the bard skin with an earthquake of movement was the worst
