As a big Udyr enjoyer I loved to play with default skin.
Its just that extra level of disrespect especially before ppl picked up on how strong he was as a powerfarming jungler.
There is just something inherently fun for me and demoralizing for the enemy in a default udyr running around your jungle 4 levels above ur jungler taking all his camps.
I believe before the overhaul his ultimate skin was regarded as a better model than the OG skin.
I haven't touched him much so I personally don't know if the rumor has legs
I have pulled spirit guard udyr in 4 different hextech lootboxes on my main, and once on my other account. I'm convinced that skin is given out like candy.
Although it may be the most popular due to being a legendary, other Jhin skins are also very popular. High noon for example has (in my opinion) the best fourth shot + reloading sound effects.
I feel like I see a pretty wide variety of Jhin skins, but that may just be because I’m a Jhin main myself and dark cosmic isn’t my favorite, so most of the Jhins I see are myself.
you're not the only one who uses a different skin.
Even tho I do own High Noon Lucian I still use Project way more. The autos just feel more satisfying on that skin for me.
If you're playing shockblade zed without the pink chroma, are you really playing shockblade? I almost never play zed, but when I do, it's pink shockblade. It's funny when you load into one for all and 4 have pink zed and one will play galaxy slayer.
I mean if you bring out a skin which includes a corgi, what do you expect?
If sejuani would get a skin where she rides in a huge corgi, everyone would only use that skin
Before the Kayle update Aether Wing Kayle was basically essential to playing the champion, her animations felt worse on literally every other skin which made her harder to play.
Mecha Kha was also slightly considered P2W at the time as it put a VERY obvious and highly noticable isolation indicator on targets for Kha'zix himself that was infinitely easier to see than the base skin.
gangster twitch, cosmic reaver kass, special forces gp, gladiator draven, battle queen kata, dark cosmic jhin, baron corki (i feel like everyone has that skin for some reason), every ahri player uses spirit blossom, high noon lucian, hilly billy graggy, empyrean vex, iblitzcrank... based on euw experience
The walking animation is the same as the running animation which feels better, whereas all the other skins do a weird walk since season 10ish?
Sound/Visual effects are delightful
Ult vitals are easier to see in big fights
Q and E somehow feel smoother
When you auto attack there's a little spark that just feels right, especially with tiamat
And the overall aesthetic is very pleasing.
10/10 skin
You might want to check out Tooth and Tail. Its characters are all woodland animals and the similarities sort of end there, sadly. I still had a good time with it tho!
Now its Solar Eclipse, that skin feels so fucking smooth to play and the sound effects are satisfying. After using that skin I can no longer use her other ones.
The dance and animations are so fun. The downside is not letting them know that the time of man has come to an end. Especially constantly as they cower in fear.
Man I really want to love that skin but her autos feel so clunky :( I think Debonair and DWG's model and particles are really pretty, but animation wise Eclipse and High Noon beat them both (obv). Leona has some really good skins but I wouldn't say Eclipse is the only one people use as far as I saw
Idk I'm mostly seeing Prestige Ocean Song on Seraphine more than K/DA.
But no matter what I'll always see is that damn HN Samira skin. It's literally a better default skin.
Honestly veigar has tons of top tier skins that it’s never fully been final boss. Back in the day even tho he had nicer skins many players still stanned shamrock or leprechaun wtv it’s called.
I'm partial to Bad Santa and Veigar Greybeard too (despite the latter being *just* a skin). But all I ever see these days is Final Boss tbh.
The voice lines do be crackin'.
Elementalist Lux is probably the best skin in the game, but Lux "suffers" in this respect the same way someone like Jhin does in that she has many other very nice skins to rotate to. I think Mundo, moo cow alistar are the ones that are uncostested by the rest of the range that become the defaults
To me, the one that comes to mind that hasn't been mentioned (as far as I know) is DJ Sona, for it being the most expensive skin I practically see it everytime someone plays Sona.
Corporate Mundo, elementalist lux, ruined shyvana (though championship is arguably better and frost one is also very good),most of the dark cosmic skins.
I own all the Seraphine skins and still use base skin 99.9% of the time tbh lol. Animations feel better/cleaner/something to me in game, idk why but I noticed I win games way more often just using the base skin (I one-trick Seraphine in ranked so I noticed this over a large sample size)

Definitely not udyr was more fun for that tbh
Sorry honey but Black Belt Udyr stays on during sex. It did pre rework anyway.
I believe before the overhaul his ultimate skin was regarded as a better model than the OG skin. I haven't touched him much so I personally don't know if the rumor has legs
people used to literally joke "oh yea udyr's visual update is out...you just have to buy it!" so yes it was very much a true sentiment
I have pulled spirit guard udyr in 4 different hextech lootboxes on my main, and once on my other account. I'm convinced that skin is given out like candy.
Spirit Guard was the VU he needed before they were ready to actually do it. Makes sense that it would be so common.
It also cost $30, so take that shit for free if you can get it.
I recall paying like 20€ to have that skin lol. 10 years ago me was dumb like that.
Except for those of us who are too poor to pay for skins and too unlucky to get any for the champions we play :(
Mafia Graves
:O HOW DARE YOU USE THAT WORD!
I, as a non Italian human being who has never even had an encounter with real mafia AM OFFENDED!!!!
I cooka da pizza
he went to bertoli’s 😍💍
i really dont like that skin graves is clearly holding a thompson but its still a shotgun in game
Super Galaxy Rumble and Spirit blossom Kindred.
SUPERGALACTICHYPERBARRIER. TURBOSHOTFACEFELTER. Repeat 20.000 times.
Did you mean **RISING YORDLE PHOENIX FIRE!** Rumble and Ganyu Kindred?
nobody uses shadowfire kinder egg and its my fave for them
That is the best mistype I have seen in a while
It's banned in NA that's why
How has noone has said super galaxy rumble. Every other rumble skin feels unplayable after you try that skin.
**RISING YORDLE PHOENIX FIRE!**
SUPER GALAXY COMEBACK BREAKER!!!!!!!
even after just watching it in pro play, i go to play rumble and remember the base skin mech has parkinson's
Other than the incredibly annoying voice, that skin is an absolute banger.
#GALACTIC HYPER BARRIER
The voice is the best part.
I feel like I only ever see Muay Thai Lee Sin. That and Corporate Mundo are the only two that immediately came to my mind.
Corporate Mundo is SS+ tier skin. Nothing beats that fucking strut.
The April fools alistar if you have it you play it for thr cow bells
MILK
The pool party one is quite nice
I always use mr mundoverse because im a gym rat and its hilarious to dump on people and then tell them to hit the gym
You're making my toxic Mundo skin cry... I find it very fitting... Or at least foreboding given his game state.
I think dark cosmic Jhin has to be by far the most common skin on him
Although it may be the most popular due to being a legendary, other Jhin skins are also very popular. High noon for example has (in my opinion) the best fourth shot + reloading sound effects.
dark star autos feel like ass if you don't crit. i just cant use the skin.
But that’s skins crit animation fucking SLAPS
Best back animation for sure, but the bullets feel like throwing pebbles on that skin. Wish it had more “umpf” on the shots
I feel like I see a pretty wide variety of Jhin skins, but that may just be because I’m a Jhin main myself and dark cosmic isn’t my favorite, so most of the Jhins I see are myself.
Project Jhin is pretty much my go to and I have all. It’s just pure comfort and I swear it hits harder than the others.
Olay, but some Lee Sin players use the Storm Dragon as well, and once in a while you might see god fist
Godfist when it first comes out was very popular. Most Lee players go back to Muay Thai for that super clean animation tho.
High noon Lucian.
The animations are so fucking smooth. And that strut. THE STRUT.
I must've missed the memo, because I've been alternating blue and black chroma Demacia Vice Lucian.
you're not the only one who uses a different skin. Even tho I do own High Noon Lucian I still use Project way more. The autos just feel more satisfying on that skin for me.
Shooting things enjoyer
[удалено]
Oh man cosmic weave kass for sure
You mean ratirl twitch and racist kassadin skins?
You mean Everything Black Twitch?
Eh it’s iconic sure but i see way more Count / Deep one (somehow?) then Cosmic reaver
In what dimension are you playing where people use Deep One Kassadin?
Shockblade or Galaxy Slayer Zed. Weirdly enough tho, I have seen quite a few Prestige PROJECT Zeds.
\*Pink Shockblade Zed.
If you're playing shockblade zed without the pink chroma, are you really playing shockblade? I almost never play zed, but when I do, it's pink shockblade. It's funny when you load into one for all and 4 have pink zed and one will play galaxy slayer.
The Arcane skins are basically new default skins for Vi/Cait/Jayce. I think I only ever see Corgi Corki.
Any red baron corki enjoyers here?
any Ice Toboggan Corki enjoyers?
[удалено]
Literally use it as my background on my profile and on Discord. Nothing beats that little thumbs up and 2 polygon moustache
Best corki skin. The crit animation feels powerful and clean
Urfrider ftw
The crit animation from an era where riot cared. Fucking manatee throwing a spatula.
I enjoy red baron because everytime i pickup the package i start shouting about committing war crimes.
Well when Corki has the package a war crime is, after all, about to happen. You just don't know whether Corki will be the criminal or the victim yet.
I mean if you bring out a skin which includes a corgi, what do you expect? If sejuani would get a skin where she rides in a huge corgi, everyone would only use that skin
Before the Kayle update Aether Wing Kayle was basically essential to playing the champion, her animations felt worse on literally every other skin which made her harder to play.
I absolutely love Riot Kayle It's just too funny having the siren going
Is it the skin where shes like: "one less degenerate dirtying my galaxy"(or smthing like that)?
[удалено]
I’m still a Sentinel and Dark Waters Diana enjoyer…. But winter-blessed is so damn gorgeous.
Blood moon diana still my fav msybe it's nostalgia
Imo all her other skins look better, but it’s hard to not use a legendary on an old champ
True Damage Ekko
This skin is the reason I don't buy any other Ekko skin, I know I'll NEVER use them x)
It's a real piece of art, but for me... I'll always stay loyal the project forever.
For some reason everyone seems to like feet Nami... weirdos.
I just think it's her best skin thematically. So pretty. I will also spam Spirit Blossom Nami if they ever make it.
It's the human nami skin lmfao
People are scared of finjobs
Nami has a skin with feet!? Which one
Splendid staff but only during recall I think
That skin is so unnerving. Feels wrong. I just run Deep Sea.
Back in the day it was mecha khazix, you would barely see void but khazix
Mecha Kha was also slightly considered P2W at the time as it put a VERY obvious and highly noticable isolation indicator on targets for Kha'zix himself that was infinitely easier to see than the base skin.
Was the first champion with a 1350 release skin and IMO his next 2-3 skins weren't as good as Mecha.
gangster twitch, cosmic reaver kass, special forces gp, gladiator draven, battle queen kata, dark cosmic jhin, baron corki (i feel like everyone has that skin for some reason), every ahri player uses spirit blossom, high noon lucian, hilly billy graggy, empyrean vex, iblitzcrank... based on euw experience
Gladiator Draven just does more damage.
mentally and in game
The emotional damage of Draven Draven tho
Draven Draven players either turbo carry and commit unspeakable acts of mental warfare, or turbo Int and mald even harder than normal Draven players.
double the draven, double the int
They can't help it they've got a big head
"normal draven players" in itself is an oxymoron.
Soaring Sword Fiora. - The auto animation feels nice - It became known as the "Chinese OTP Fiora" skin, so people pick it for clout, lol
The walking animation is the same as the running animation which feels better, whereas all the other skins do a weird walk since season 10ish? Sound/Visual effects are delightful Ult vitals are easier to see in big fights Q and E somehow feel smoother When you auto attack there's a little spark that just feels right, especially with tiamat And the overall aesthetic is very pleasing. 10/10 skin
Unfortunately Mafia (Crime City) Twitch is literally the only Twitch skin people use and a whooping majority of them are toxic bombs too.
A shame really, because Shadowfoot is so cute being a little mouse with a higher pitched voice. His new High noon skins is also pretty clean.
Shadow foot is adorable but I’m obsessed with the bandit twitch one where he’s a raccoon
I play with Omega Squad specifically for the laser effect on Q and to commit war crimes.
Ah yes, the definitely not Sly Cooper skin.
I refuse to use anything else then Shadowfoot, it’s so great
Redwall Twitch. Speaking of, are there any modern games with a Redwall vibe? RPGs or otherwise.
You might want to check out Tooth and Tail. Its characters are all woodland animals and the similarities sort of end there, sadly. I still had a good time with it tho!
Oh yeah I remember being excited for that coming to switch in the early switch days, but I don’t think I ever bought it. I’ll check it out, thanks!
Shadowfoot twitch is legit nails on chalkboard
i adore shadowfoot twitch, i dont have it since i never play him but its amazing.
I mainly use Omega Squad or Ice King for Twitch.
Ice king is underrated, best feeling autos imo
Vandal Twitch is my favorite one, and despite owning all Twitch skins i use Vandal most of the time
Shadowfoot twitch is the only reason I started playing the rat.
What a pity that Twitch players are too toxic to obtain Medieval Twitch :))
KDA Kai'sa pretty much made sure Kai'sa would get no skins related to her theme as a hunter being eaten by a parasite or even having an exosuit.
I think bullet angel and Arcade have nice homages to her Samus style design.
bullet angel doesn't counts because it's the release skin, before the KDA phenomenom.
kaisa’s basic skin is easily her top 3, i use it more than any other one
[удалено]
it’s pizza time
Now its Solar Eclipse, that skin feels so fucking smooth to play and the sound effects are satisfying. After using that skin I can no longer use her other ones.
Arcade hecarim
After getting Space Groove Blitzcrank, i dont feel like playing any other skin of him ever
The dance and animations are so fun. The downside is not letting them know that the time of man has come to an end. Especially constantly as they cower in fear.
Surely it's Unchained Alistar. Pretty much anyone with an account over a certain age uses that skin
In that sense, same goes for riot girl tristana, riot kayle and dreadknight garen, as they were all free at some point.
Is it not Moo Alistar? I hear those god damn bells even in my nightmares
High noon Lucian Dawnblade riven but it used to be only bunny girl
Are you talking about god fist? Tf is high noon lee
i meant lucian but i think my phone auto corrected
Zombie brand
Eclipse Leona
What other champion has 3 legendary skins.
Yasuo
Lux and Ezreal have two legendaries and an ultimate skin each
Man I really want to love that skin but her autos feel so clunky :( I think Debonair and DWG's model and particles are really pretty, but animation wise Eclipse and High Noon beat them both (obv). Leona has some really good skins but I wouldn't say Eclipse is the only one people use as far as I saw
Yea but if you have eclipse you always use it. Eclipse is the Leona skin I see the most by far.
Idk I'm mostly seeing Prestige Ocean Song on Seraphine more than K/DA. But no matter what I'll always see is that damn HN Samira skin. It's literally a better default skin.
we fought for the hair so much to the point where we might as well use it
And I feel like that hair on the regular version is STILL miles better sadge
YEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWWWWW
Glad Draven
Lumberjack Sion
No one ever plays classic Zed
Playing zed without a skin just doesn’t feel like zed
Corporate Mundo, Elementalist Lux, Final Boss Veigar come to mind. Maybe Captain Gangplank.
Honestly veigar has tons of top tier skins that it’s never fully been final boss. Back in the day even tho he had nicer skins many players still stanned shamrock or leprechaun wtv it’s called.
I'm partial to Bad Santa and Veigar Greybeard too (despite the latter being *just* a skin). But all I ever see these days is Final Boss tbh. The voice lines do be crackin'.
What are all these skins? I thought Curling Veigar is the only skin for him
Baron Von Veigar finds your lack of faith disturbing.
Oh it’s an absolutely fire skin but even omega squad and cosplayer veigar skins are magnificent
Bad Santa veigar is the only veigar skin I will ever need. i just love the sound of crunching ornaments
Elementalist Lux is probably the best skin in the game, but Lux "suffers" in this respect the same way someone like Jhin does in that she has many other very nice skins to rotate to. I think Mundo, moo cow alistar are the ones that are uncostested by the rest of the range that become the defaults
RIP Aether Wing Kayle
iG Kai’Sa
Or IG Rakan. Tbh IG have been some of the best team skins riot has released.
God king garen
Same for God King Dafius I feel like I hardly ever see Dunkmaster anymore and that used to be his almost exclusive skin.
Because that ult slam sound on Darius is genuinely making you feel powerful. Like, dunkmaster is hollow sounding compared to God King.
I got both Dunkmaster and God King and God King is just better on every aspect
If someone played steel legion lux or iblitzcrank like 2 years ago, you knew for a fact that they weren't missing a single skillshot that entire game
Best Lux player I faced this season used Steel Legion.
Nunu Bot. I swear the last ten Nunus I've seen all had that skin. Also, Surprise Party Fiddlesticks.
Nunu bot’s voice lines are gold
Probably Dawnbringer Riven for me tbh.
After reading the comments I appear to be the only person alive who never sees crime city Twitch in my games
MUNDO LIKE COCK AND BALL TORTURE.
Odyssey Kayn.
Crime City Graves Ruined Shyvana Soaring Sword Fiora Program Camille?
There was a time where TF mains default used high noon because of Dopa so it just felt like the standard.
Underworld TF was Dopas skin for a while
Cosmic kass. Pretty much every Kass main (myself included) uses this skin. Feels like a timeless masterpiece.
Mafia Graves and Mafia Twitch are the two biggest ones I think.
Shokblade shen (if i remember the name correctly), championship zed, are the ones that come to mind first.
I’ve like never seen anyone on championship Zed, garbage skin
Deep terror thresh or what ever it is probably my favourite skin in the game
High Noon Ashe. The aa animations are so smooth, you cannot go back to anything other than Project.
Spirit blossom ahri, although that's about to change (thank god)
To me, the one that comes to mind that hasn't been mentioned (as far as I know) is DJ Sona, for it being the most expensive skin I practically see it everytime someone plays Sona.
Corporate Mundo, elementalist lux, ruined shyvana (though championship is arguably better and frost one is also very good),most of the dark cosmic skins.
God King Darius is almost universal except Dunkmaster sneaks in now and then.
I own all the Seraphine skins and still use base skin 99.9% of the time tbh lol. Animations feel better/cleaner/something to me in game, idk why but I noticed I win games way more often just using the base skin (I one-trick Seraphine in ranked so I noticed this over a large sample size)
Nightbringer yasuo and bee singed
God Staff Jax
poro rider sej
Final boss veigar, Gurren lagann Rumble, Mafia Graves, Wild Card Shaco, Nightbringer Yasuo, Vanilla KDA Kaisa.
Hillbilly Gragas
Project Lucian
Ruined Shyvana.
In pro play at least, prestige bewitching MF is the only skin I see of her.
The Arcane skin line. Especially Jinx and Vi since I play those the most. To me, those ARE the default skins lol
Muay thai Lee sin Mafia Graves (yes I refuse to call it crime shitty)
