New skins for League of Legends are constantly coming into the game, and leaks are almost as frequent. Here we have an overview of all leaks and rumors for you.
Actually, hardly a day goes by without news about League of Legends skins. Sometimes they come from Riot Games themselves, but often enough we hear from dataminers and leakers about skins or entire skin series that will be coming to the game soon. If you don’t have the time to scour Twitter and Reddit all day long for skin rumors, but still want to stay informed, you’ve come to the right place!
Here we’ll let you know about everything. Whether it’s the skins themselves, release dates or simple rumors, you’ll stay up to date here. So, what’s going on? What’s in the pipeline right now?
All skin leaks in League of Legends
Here we have listed all known leaks for the next few patches. We try to keep them as up-to-date as possible and share with you a glimpse into the future of League of Legends skins!
Skin Leaks in LoL Patch 12.09
It has become lonely around the Empress of the Void. In the meantime, almost all skins for the next League of Legends patch have been confirmed, only two are still rumored to be missing. Whether the skin for Bel’Veth will actually be released, of course, depends first and foremost on whether she will be released with this patch at all! Only then will we know more.
It is also not yet confirmed whether a Conqueror skin will appear with LoL Patch 12.09. However, there are some champions that would deserve a skin again. What about Fiddlesticks, Riot?
- Battle Boss Bel’Veth
- Conqueror Skin – Champion unknown
LoL Patch 12.09 will be released on May 11, 2022, which is one day after the opening of the Mid– Season Invitational! So there are already two things to look forward to in May – new skins and hopefully an action-packed tournament!
Skin Leaks in LoL Patch 12.10
Yesterday, Riot announced the first batch of the new High Noon skins. I deliberately say “first batch” as we have many indications that more could be on the way!
First, there are the rumors of a High Noon event to accompany the release of the new skins. This is obvious, since the new Anima Squad skins were also accompanied by an event. However, the High Noon event is supposed to be divided into two phases. The first one starts with the release of LoL Patch 12.09 and the second one with Patch 12.10? Would only make sense!
What skins will be released with but in the course of the second phase? Well, take a look at the splash art yourself, a few hints are clearer than others. But we expect these High Noon skins in the second phase of a possible event:
- High Noon Tahm Kench
- High Noon Sion
- High Noon Viktor
- High Noon Samira
- High Noon Twitch
As I said, some of these skins are more obvious than others, but Tahm Kench can already be seen in full glory on Leona’s splash art. What do you guys think, are the other hints too far-fetched?
Skin Leaks in LoL Patch 12.11
You see, it’s getting nebulous. Looking this far into the future is difficult even for the most recognized League of Legends leakers, but BigBadBear has a guess anyway. With League of Legends Patch 12.11, which will be released on June 8, 2022, another Prestige Skin is supposed to come into the game. However, nothing else is known about this one yet, except that it won’t be part of an event.
As soon as we know more about this skin or those from other patches, we’ll let you know!
Skin Leaks for Patch 12.12
With patch 12.12, the current League of Legends Mythic Shop will be reset. At the same time, this also means that we can look forward to a new Mythic Skin. So say goodbye to Ashen Knight Pyke and hello to:
- Ashen Knight Pantheon
Yup, the leaked skin concept of Ashen Knight Pantheon has seen the light of the internet world and he just looks absolutely sick! The skin is expected to release with the same content as Ashen Knight Pyke – so expect a frame, an emote, and all the other stuff for the same price.
Star Guardian Leaks for 2022
Riot themselves have confirmed it, the Star Guardian skins are coming back this year! And not just on the side, but in a big event, which should take place this summer, around the time of LoL Patch 12.12 or 12.13. That would be around June or July 2022. There will probably be about ten new Star Guardian skins released in the course of the event.
- Star Guardian Ekko
- Star Guardian Ekko Prestige Edition
- Star Guardian Kai’Sa (Legendary)
- Star Guardian Caitlyn
- Star Guardian Akali
The Star Guardian Kai’Sa skin was leaked by Ryscu on YouTube. According to previous leaks by BigBadBear, this is supposed to be a legendary skin and it looks like it!
So these are a few of the skins that leakers have found so far, one Chinese leaker has even shown Star Guardian Akali and Caitlyn’s models. We should take this with a grain of salt though, as it could also be misinformation, Riot hasn’t commented or confirmed any of this. What do you think, how about a Star Guardian skin for Taliyah? Possibly the new ADC that will be released after Void Jungler Rem’Ora will also get one of these skins.
Confirmed skin leaks from 2022
As we said, sometimes the leakers are right with their guesses and rumors. Below we list all the skins and skin series that have already been confirmed during the year. Not every leak is a hit, but often we can rely on reliable sources.
High Noon Skins in LoL Patch 12.09
Meanwhile, we have the official confirmation that we will get some new additions for the High Noon Skins with LoL Patch 12.09! Among them is a legendary skin for Leona and Talon will be rewarded with a prestige skin. We are curious if the line will be extended in the near future. The chances are good.
- High Noon Skins
- High Noon Leona (Legendary)
- High Noon Talon Prestige Edition
- High Noon Talon
- High Noon Katarina
- High Noon Varus
- High Noon Murder Emperor
EDG Championship Skin Leaks in LoL Patch 12.09
With League of Legends Patch 12.09 we get a whole lot of skins. Among them also the EDG Worlds skins, which we have been waiting for since half a year. Now Riot Games has also officially confirmed that the skins are coming, a few days after leakers revealed the finished splash art.
- 5 EDG Championship Skins
- EDG Graves
- EDG Viego
- EDG Zoe
- EDG Aphelios
- EDG Yuumi
On Twitter, the splash art for the EDG skins was leaked first, where we got to see Yuumi along with the other champions in their new EDG colored outfits.
Eclipse Skin Leaks in LoL Patch 12.08
One skin in particular has been discussed a lot by the League of Legends community in advance, namely Eclipse Senna Prestige Edition 2.0! The price for this skin should be almost as pompous as the name – 130 € Riot wanted to charge us to get this skin!
Then, little by little, more and more information came to light regarding the champions and the skins themselves, and what can we say? The rumors were confirmed! Senna not only got a new skin and a prestige version, Sivir also got her first legendary skin! Almost a bit shocking that a champion who has been in the game for such a long time didn’t have such a skin yet.
- Solar Eclipse
- Solar Eclipse Sivir (legendary skin for 1820 RP)
- Solar Eclipse Kayle
- Solar Eclipse Sejuani
- Lunar Eclipse
- Lunar Eclipse Senna
- Lunar Eclipse Senna Prestige Edition 2.0
- Lunar Eclipse Aatrox
In the meantime Riot has rowed back a little bit. With patch 12.06 the new Mythic Shop was introduced and with it the Mythic Essence. With this you will now pay for the new Prestige Skin for Senna. 125 ME costs the skin now and that is certainly more justifiable than 130 €!
Ruined King Skins in LoL Patch 12.08
Presumably, this Yasuo skin has been waiting in the wings for a while, but was also pushed further back due to the delay of Ruined King: A League of Legends Story. That’s not so bad, though, because now it hasn’t been released alone!
After the game was released in November, many fans were excited about Gangplank’s look in this turn-based RPG. Therefore, Riot did the only right thing and made Gangplank the Betrayer a full-fledged in-game skin. Both of these skins were leaked a few days before their release.
- Sea Dog Yasuo
- Gangplank the Betrayer
How credible are these leaks?
Very few of the leaks we report on come directly from Riot Games first hand, but mostly from well-informed connoisseurs of the scene. Therefore, none of these leaks is 100% correct with certainty. Sometimes the skins don’t come to the patch announced here, or they never see the light of day!
The fact that you can’t always believe leaks becomes clear in a bizarre way. What do you think, if one of these skins had made it into the game, the age restriction for League of Legends would probably have been raised a bit, right?
Therefore, we enjoy all leaks with caution, but we are still curious about which rumor will reach us next!
Champion skin
Champion skin (or skin for short) refers to the color scheme or appearance of a champion. Most champion skins can be purchased in the Riot Shop with Riot Points, while others are/were only available for special events/promotions. However, some selected chroma skins (color-changed skins)can be purchased at special events for Blue Essence. Some champion skins bring new particles for visual effects, quotes and sound effects. Each skin has its own splashart, which is displayed in the champion selection and loading screen. Since patch 7.16, the custom champion image is also matched to the skin in the game itself.
What is actually… “League of Legends”?
“League of Legends is one of the most successful e-sports titles in the world. But what is it actually about? And what makes the game so popular? An explanation for beginners.
What is League of Legends (“LoL”) about?
In a classic game of “League of Legends,” two teams each have five characters called champions, each with individual characteristics. The main goal of each team is to destroy the opponent’s Nexus (a main building). Before this can be attacked, however, several defenses must be torn down on at least one of the three central level routes (lanes). Similar to “Dota 2”, the heroes receive continuous support on their campaign from AI-controlled units called minions. They storm the battlefield at regular intervals and independently attack enemies or enemy buildings – but only on the three main paths of the map. Those who roam around in the surrounding jungle will have to do without minion help. As usual in the MOBA genre, the champions reach higher levels by collecting experience points. In the course of the match, they learn numerous new abilities. Provided they have enough gold, the player can also strengthen himself with new equipment. Each of the 141 hero characters that the player can currently choose from is assigned to one of six classes. Warriors can deal out a lot of damage, tanks take a lot of punishment, mages have powerful special abilities, and supporters can, among other things, replenish the mana energy of allies or heal their comrades-in-arms.
