League of Legends, commonly known as League or LoL, is a 5v5 Player-vs-Player strategy-based game where the main goal is to destroy the other team’s base. It was developed and published in 2009 by Riot Games.
The game witnessed a phenomenal amount of popularity ever since and continues to grow even now. Recently, a League of Legends based series called “Arcane” shot up the popularity of the game significantly. Fighting off minions, killing enemies and destroying bases is cool, but it’s even better when you do it in style.
Unlock Free League of Legends Skins
League of Legends has one of the biggest cosmetics markets in the Gaming Industry. With over 1200 skins for champions in the game, we have all wondered how to get a free League of Legends skin. Here are 9 legit ways to do that:
Hextech Chests
Hextech Chests are one of the most basic yet the best ways to get a free league of legends skin. Players can get one free Hextech Chest every week by playing a game with a Champion already unlocked by the player and getting a rating of S- or higher.
A champion can only be used to obtain a chest in this way once every season. So, players will have to use different champions and get a great game with all of them.
In-Game Events
Just like every other progressive game, Riot hosts multiple in-game events in League of Legends every season. While a lot of the event currency is locked behind a paywall, players can get a decent amount of currency and skin shards by completing various tasks and quests even as a free-to-play.
These events usually see a launch of event pass which can be progressed for skin shards. Riot is planning an overhaul for League’s mythic content later in the year as well.
Honor level Rewards
Toxicity and negativity is one of the key problems in League. To battle against this, there is an honor reward system in the game to promote positivity.
At the start of each season, a player is reset to honor level 2 (unless they had a lower honor than that) and progressing through the honor and reaching honor 5 gives players a chance to unlock exclusive Medieval Twitch or Grey Warwick skins.
Rank Rewards
The easiest way to unlock a free skin in League of Legends is by playing the game a lot. Every season, players who place in Gold rank or higher, receive a free Victorious skin.
There are various different rewards for placing in different ranks, but if you place Gold or higher, you’re guaranteed a free Victorious skin.
