Fans Discover the “Harsh” Truth About Faker’s HoL Skin
In 2024, Riot released the Hall of Legends skin set for Faker featuring two champions, LeBlanc and Ahri. While LeBlanc has long been out of the meta, Ahri is still highly favored. Therefore, Faker’s HoL Ahri skin is frequently used in many major tournaments worldwide. However, fans have just discovered a “harsh truth” about this skin line: Faker is the only Mid Lane player in the LCK who has never used HoL Ahri.
Specifically, all 9 Mid Lane players in the LCK, including those from lower-ranked teams like Clozer, UcaL, and BuLLDoG, have used HoL Ahri at least once in the current Regular Season 2025. Yet Faker—a player who achieved a pentakill with this champion—has never touched the skin that honors him.
On various forums, many viewers have commented that Ahri has been neglected by the very player who achieved a pentakill with her and has a skin dedicated to him.
– Is the only player not using HoL the one who just got a pentakill?
– The player who hasn’t used HoL must have 5 World Championship trophies by now.
– I believe all 9 of these players used the HoL skin to “encourage” Faker to use it.
Fans are also quite familiar with Faker’s habits
Of course, this is completely normal for those who are acquainted with Faker’s habits, as the number of times he uses skins during matches can be counted on one hand. And it is likely that this year, there will be no opportunity for Faker to actually use the HoL skin in an official match. However, a rare “consolation” for Riot and Ahri is that at least Faker has once used HoL Ahri in ranked matches.
Furthermore, as Faker has admitted, using skins can easily distract him during matches due to the accompanying effects. With a skin line as heavily invested in as Hall of Legends, it is understandable that Faker minimizes its use in competitive play. And not just the HoL skin, it is likely that the upcoming 2024 World Championship skin from T1 will also share a similar fate.
