League of Legends: Ranking the Best Christmas Skins
By Josh Tyler
Here are the best League of Legends skins to get you in the Christmas spirit.
15. Snow Day Gnar
Price: 975 RP
The little guy does look quite cute in his snow hat and sweater, and he looks quite monstrous as a yeti in mega form. The two new recall animations on this skin are also quite festive, as mini Gnar builds a snowman, complete with reindeer antlers, while mega Gnar destroys it. It’s not explicitly Christmas-themed, but it’s definitely one of the better winter skins.
14. Snow Day Singed
Price: 975 RP
Singed has a snowblower on his back, leaving a trail of (still poisonous) snow in his wake, a toboggan where his shield normally is, and drops a mistletoe-emblazoned snow patch for his sticky zone. How can you go wrong with this skin to get you in the mood to go out in the snow?
13. Winter Wonder Neeko
Price: 1350 RP
Like the other Winter Wonder skins, Neeko’s is just snowflake and winter straight through. With no holiday-specific themes, she can’t get too high in these rankings. However, I do have a soft spot for this skin because of that recall animation, which features her figure skating and some Poros giving her scores as she’s whisked away.
12. Santa Draven
Price: 1350 RP
Sometimes you go for a theme that just doesn’t work and that is the case with this skin. The effects look good and so does Draven’s champion, dressed up as sexy Santa. The recall animation with him sitting on an ornate holiday throne is also top-notch. The problem is that the skin just doesn’t work. It feels like Riot just tried to shoe-horn him into the Christmas theme by slapping a Santa suit on him and it doesn’t work.
11. Reindeer Kog’Maw
Price: 975 RP
The skin is definitely worth the price of purchase, as Kog comes equipped with reindeer antlers, Rudolph’s red nose, holiday lights, and a new voice line (singing “fa la la la la, la la la la”). That said, the model is still a bit unsettling and I would have liked to seem some holiday-themed effects on his abilities.
