The promised Firecracker skins are here! Hell yeah!

So, we may have just talked about the Crystal Rose skins, but Riot is apparently way ahead of us again, with LoL Patch 12.02. Engage!

These are the skins to celebrate Chinese New Year with this year – The Firecracker Skins! And this year, a lot of champions will be invited to the celebration.

Which champions will get Firecracker Skins?

So far, five champions are known to receive Friecracker Skins in 2022, the Year of the Tiger. These are the champions that are part of the Firecracker lineup:

• Sett
• Diana
• Teemo
• Tristana
• Xin Zhao

In the Splash Arts, we also see several other champions in the background, like Annie or Aphelios. Even Diana and Leona stroll through the night market together.

How much does a Firecracker skin cost?

These skins will probably sell for 1350 RP, like most skins that Riot releases by now. So far, we’ve only seen the leaked images and not the in-game models. So it’s hard to say how much they will officially end up costing. But oh boy, first the unofficial release of Zeri and now the Firecracker skins, Riot’s HQ is really on fire.

When will the Firecracker skins be released?

The skins will probably go live with LoL Patch 12.02. Before that, of course, they’ll be on the PBE, along with a whole bunch of other skins – your wallet may cry, but at least you’ll look good doing it.

Would you be more up for a Firecracker Sett or more up for a Firecracker Diana for Chinese New Year?

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.
