TL;DR
- League of Legends Worlds skins celebrate the annual LoL Worlds Championship-winning teams.
- Each winning team member picks a hero to receive the skin, which immortalises their team victory.
- There is also one World Champions LoL skin for a particular hero every year, though this skin celebrates the tournament as a whole rather than one person or team.
- The LoL Worlds skins can only be bought when the Legacy Vault opens.
- When available, the LoL Worlds skins can be bought for RP. The only exception to this is Prestige T1 Sylas, as this skin costs 150 Mythic Essence.
The League of Legends World Championship skins are a great way to commemorate the victories of each winning team at the annual League of Legends World Championship tournament. Whether you’re an avid follower of the LoL Worlds tournament or are just looking for a cool skin for a hero you like, then the Worlds skins could be just what you’re looking for.
We’re going to be looking at all the LoL Worlds skins that have been released over the past 14 years of the tournament. Keep in mind that this doesn’t include the skins for the tournament’s 15th champions, as at the time of writing, LoL Worlds is ongoing, and the winners have yet to be decided. We’re also going to be looking at both the team skins and the individual champion skins that are also released every year to celebrate the tournament.
What are League of Legends Worlds skins?

Two categories of skins come under the theme of LoL Worlds: winning team skins and championship skins. Let’s begin with the team skins. Every year, the winners of the LoL Worlds tournament receive in-game skins for LoL heroes of the players’ choosing (although there are a few restrictions that Riot Games enforces, such as only allowing players to choose a character they have played during the tournament). These skins are themed around the team and remain permanently in the game. Players worldwide can obtain them for years to come, immortalising the players and their victories.
In addition to this, there are championship skins. Along with the winning team skins, one championship skin is released for one hero each year. This is a more generalised skin that doesn’t celebrate one person or a team individually. Instead, it represents the tournament itself. Each year, the individual champion skins tend to have the same colour palette – blue, silver, and gold – and they fit into certain criteria set by the developers. Much like with the team skins, the championship skin has to fit the criteria, and some factors can exclude a champion from receiving a skin. The main factor for a champion to be chosen is for them to have a substantial impact on the competitive League of Legends scene and the professional meta during the season leading up to Worlds.

Let’s first take a look at all the team-based Worlds skins that are available in League of Legends. There have been 14 years’ worth of victories (with the 15th tournament currently underway), so there are quite a few skins for different heroes.

Let’s now take a look at the individual World Champion skins. These are the skins that were chosen for a hero who was a prominent part of the League of Legends competitive scene, rather than skins to celebrate a particular victory.

How to get LoL Worlds skins

The World’s Champion skins can only be found in the Legacy Vault, but they can be bought with the regular RP in-game currency when the vault opens. Older skins are cheaper, but even newer ones aren’t too pricey. The only issue with obtaining the skins is having to wait until the Legacy Vault opens before they can be bought.
