Cowboy Lucian
Part of the Cowboy skin line released in 2018, Cowboy Lucian impresses with the incredibly cool and rugged appearance of the Purifier. The familiar light guns have been transformed into an Anaconda revolver typical of the Wild West, and Lucian also features a half-burnt look in red flames that makes gamers ready to shell out to own this skin.
Notably, according to some players who frequently use Cowboy Lucian, besides looking rugged and cool, this skin line has a “hidden passive” that makes Lucian’s Light Marksman passive and E – Relentless Pursuit appear smoother and more graceful compared to other skins that often have certain delays.
Santa Gragas
This “old but gold” skin was released back in 2010 and has become a favorite among many “Gragas main” players. Not just because it has a pretty cool Christmas theme, but specifically, Santa Gragas also provides a slight advantage for the player.
Specifically, Santa Gragas’s Q – Barrel Roll will produce a smaller barrel compared to the default. While experienced players may still gauge the explosion radius of the barrel, for those unfamiliar with Gragas, it will be harder to estimate its effective range, making it more difficult to dodge.
Turkish Tryndamere
Being a skin that has been around for a long time, Turkish Tryndamere is still very popular among players who enjoy this champion. Not only does it look more powerful and perform smoother, but Turkish Tryndamere also offers a slight advantage to players.
Specifically, according to some players, with its simple animations, Turkish Tryndamere helps players better time their critical strikes and feel more confident in skill exchanges. Of course, there are other ways to time critical strikes, such as using the King Tryndamere skin. However, many players believe that Turkish Tryndamere remains the best choice.
Similar to Santa Gragas, Turkish Tryndamere is also an older skin and not highly regarded aesthetically, but for “try-hard” Barbarian players, looks don’t matter because the benefits this skin provides are too clear.
Varus Lightbringer
When mentioning Varus Lightbringer, gamers are likely no strangers to this name. This skin line is currently being used for Varus in TFT season 5 and 5.5. However, in League of Legends, Varus Lightbringer often faces criticism whenever this skin appears, thanks to Riot’s “200 years of experience” in aesthetics.
Varus Lightbringer’s R – Chain of Corruption has an unclear display range compared to the default skin, making it very hard for opponents to dodge, especially in team fights where a multitude of skill effects blend together, and Varus Lightbringer’s light yellow color can easily be overshadowed by other colors. The same issue occurs with Q – Piercing Arrow, which forces players to squint to see and dodge. Therefore, Riot had to ban this skin line from appearing in professional matches altogether.
Ultimate Skin Vayne
Ultimate Skin Vayne was voted the most beautiful skin of 2017, and based on players’ experiences, this is a very fair choice. Especially when Ultimate Skin Vayne looks stunning from the splash art to the design when worn by the champion known as the Night Hunter.
The reason for Ultimate Skin Vayne’s appearance on this list is simply because, according to players, using it makes Vayne look… cooler, especially with the excellent HUD effects when activating her ultimate. This, according to one-champ Vayne players, acts as an incredible morale booster before going try-hard.
