League of Legends: How To Get Free Skins

Most League of Legends skins cost money, but there are a few that you can also get for free. 

Skins cost a lot of money, right? Well, what if we told you there was actually a way to get some skins for free? Yes, you read that right, some League of Legends skins don't cost you a single penny. So let's check out all of the skins you're able to get for the cost of 0 RP. 

Riot used to be a bit more generous with their free skins, but they're a corporation these days, sporting multiple games and the main focus is to make a profit after all, eh? But every once in a while they do give away skins for free or have the proceeds go to a good cause. 

League of Legends: Free Skins

Get Medieval Twitch And Grey Warwick For Free

Grey Warwick and Medieval Twitch are two skins you're able to receive by reaching Honor Level 5 in League of Legends. By reaching this milestone, players are able to redeem Honor Level 5 tokens and get either of these skins for free. If you already own the skins, you can also choose various chromas in the Honor Level 5 shop. 

Three-Honors: Free Skins 

Another way to earn free skins is simply by getting honored. Just like with the Medieval Twitch and Grey Warwick skin, players can get the exclusive Three Honors skin of a season by reaching Honor Level 5. Players will receive their skin, similar to Victorious skins, at the end of the season if they reached the correct check point. 

How To Earn Honor Levels? 

Getting Honor levels in League of Legends is pretty simple. Honestly, just don't be an asshole in-game. You'll be able to rake in the honors of your teammates by being a good player, and by earning honors you rank up in the honor system. The final stage is Honor Level 5 wherein you will be gifted the aforementioned token, as well as gain a unique backing animation as well. 

How To Get The Season Reward Skins?

At the end of every League of Legends season, players are able to receive rewards for simply playing League of Legends throughout the season. These rewards are called 'End of Season Rewards' and usually include a skin, as well as a champion for said skin if you don't own it already. 

How do you earn these season rewards, though? Well, you can get the Victorious skin if you reach Gold or higher by the end of the ranked season. So, you'll have to grind to make it out of Silver if you want to have these skins and rewards. 

How To Get Waterloo Miss Fortune?

To get this fancy skin for everyone's favourite captain, you'll need to create a new account. If you've already got all the skins you can dream about on your original account, then this might not be worth it for you, but any new player should get this skin. 

Not only do you get special rewards when levelling up in a newly made account, but as a special reward for the first seven games, that are considered first-game-of-the-day, you can either get 500 Orange Essence or pick up the Waterloo Miss Fortune skin. So, basically, all you have to do is play seven days of League and you'll be gifted this skin. Sounds simple enough, eh? 

How To Earn Triumphant Ryze

Here's where it gets tricky. You can only get the Triumphant Ryze skin if you win a tournament. It doesn't necessarily have to be one of the professional tournaments. You can check on Battlefy, game.tv or Toornament to see if there are any events you can take part in.

Hextech Crafting

In addition to skins as special rewards, there are of course also the many skin shards. Every few summoner levels and whenever you finish a game for the first time in a season with a grade of S or higher, you will receive Hextech Chests. If you behave well and are honored by your teammates, you will get keys to open these chests. Inside are Champion Shards, Emotes and of course Skin Shards.

In the League of Legends crafting tool you're able to either use Orange Essence to unlock a skin shard as a permanent skin, or if you've got a multitude of unwanted skin shards, you're able to fuse three skin shards together to create a random permanent skin. 

I've done my fair share of crafting and often ended up with skins for champions I'll never play, but there is a fun element to it all. It's a bit like gambling, where you don't know what exactly you'll get, but it could always be that Ultimate Ezreal skin you've dreamed of. 

Is It Still Possible To Get Riot Girl Tristana Or Black Alistar?

Unfortunately, Riot has stopped the promotions for these skins. Until recently, you could still get them via a support ticket, but Riot has removed that too. As I said, the success seems to have gone to their heads. They don't need promotions any more...

Those are the free skins you're able to get onto your League of Legends account. Which skin are you trying to receive?
