The stories surrounding whether Faker uses the Hall of Legends skin have always attracted many gamers’ interest. This is because it is an expensive skin line that Riot released to honor the achievements in the illustrious career of Faker. The issue is that Faker is a player who very rarely uses skins in League of Legends, even those he received after championship wins at Worlds. In fact, Faker even waits for discounts to purchase the old SKT T1 skins.
However, in recent days, people have noticed that T1’s Mid Laner has used the HoL Ahri skin a few times. But those were only instances when he tested the skin in practice mode against bots or just in the Arena mode. In all professional matches, Faker has said no to the expensive skin line that Riot reserved specifically for him. According to Faker’s previous statements, using skins can affect his skills and ability to observe and focus. But recently, in an Arena match, Faker had a hilarious moment after using a skill in the HoL Ahri skin.
Specifically, after executing a skill combo, Faker himself was impressed and commented: “Using this Ahri skin makes the skills flow so smoothly. The skin helps my skills improve.” But just as Riot was about to rejoice for getting free advertising from Faker, the T1 Mid Laner threw cold water on them: “Oh, turns out it’s not because of the skin. It’s just that I executed the skills accurately.”
Thus, after all, Faker still hasn’t made any proactive moves to promote or provide positive feedback regarding the HoL skin line. As a highly influential player, Faker probably understands that all his comments can elicit various reactions from the community. With an expensive skin like HoL, Faker likely doesn’t want his fans to spend large sums of money just based on a few of his words.
