Though T1’s League of Legends players have had the champions for their Worlds skinslocked in for several months now, this is the first time we’re seeing the skins themselves in action.
Considering this is the organization’sfourth Worlds win, the art team had to go out of their way to try and figure out how these skins would differ from the rest.
Each skin has new recalls and visuals, but none of them have new animations for each champion. This places them all into the Epic category, meaningthey’ll be 1350 RP eachwith the Prestige skin being an exception.
That said, these skins are usually sold in bundles with extra goodies, and the same is true here. Each base skin has abundle worth 2530 RPthat includes an icon a chroma, and a border for the skin with the player’s signature on it.
The fullT1 skin bundle is priced at 13220 RP, which is just under $100 USD.

As for the Prestige skin, DRX Prestige Aatrox went for 125 Mythic Essence with that team’s skin released. Prestige T1 Jayce skin is confirmed to have the same price point at125 Mythic Essence.
Do these skins have a release date?
There are a total of five champions getting Worlds skins:Jayce (Zeus), Lee Sin (Oner), Orianna (Faker), Jinx (Gumayusi), and Bard (Keria).Jayce will be getting the Prestige skin, as is standard for the MVP of the final series to receive.
Riot has since released a trailer showing off each skin in action.
