LoL Worlds Skins 2011–2025: Every Champion & Player Pick

Worlds. The pinnacle of achievement for a League of Legends pro player and the ultimate culmination of a year-long season. To earn a Worlds skin is to imprint a permanent fixture of said achievement, forever to be remembered within the game. We've collected every single Worlds skin from the very first in 2011 all the way to present day. Let us take a trip through memory lane, and spot all the past champions' Worlds skins and what each one meant.

*Last updated: 24/11/2025

How Does a Player Earn a Worlds skin?

Winning Worlds is certainly the main criteria for a player earning their customized skin, however, it is far from the only rule to follow in earning one.

• Participate in at least 2 Play-In Stage and Swiss Stage games that had an impact on the team's advancement (qualification/elimination games only).
• Participate in at least 1 Knockout Stage game
• Selected champion must have been played at least once at Worlds.
• If a team already has a skin for that particular champion from a previous win, Riot serves the right to request the player to pick another champion.
• Riot will also take into account the current deveopment queue for champion skins to determine the eligible pool players can pick from. This is to avoid releasing multiple skins for the same champion close to one another.

Why Players Picked Specific Champions

Faker's World Skin Choices

Faker is not only the most decorated League of Legends player of all time, he has the skins to prove it. With a running tally of 10 currently, he has enough to field an full on 5v5 match. 7 of those 10 are Worlds skins: Zed, Ryze, Syndra, Orianna, Yone, Sylas, and Galio. 

A story can be found through Faker's World skin choices — one of growing maturity. From the flashy Zed of his first-ever Worlds title to the growing flexibility of a mage like Syndra to the more measured picks of Orianna and Galio. It displays a career of incredible depth and comfort on a variety of playstyles, fitting for the Unkillable Demon King.

Why CoreJJ Picked Rakan

At Worlds 2017, Samsung Galaxy's bot lane duo Ruler and CoreJJ ran Xayah and Rakan together, and after SSG beat SK Telecom T1 for the title, CoreJJ selected Rakan as his championship skin, paired with Ruler's Xayah skin. Rakan went on to become CoreJJ's most-played champion and signature pick in the years that followed.

Why did Deft choose Caitlyn over Ezreal?

Deft built his entire career around Ezreal, but when DRX won Worlds 2022 he chose Caitlyn for his skin instead. It came down to that one tournament: he played Caitlyn four times across groups and knockouts, went a perfect 4-0 with a 17.0 KDA, and closed out Game 5 of the finals against T1 on her to finally win his first Summoner's Cup after 10 years as a pro. It surprised fans specifically because it wasn't his signature champion — it was the champion that got him over the line.

Other Notable Picks

Kingen — Aatrox

Kingen's Aatrox was his defining pick for DRX's 2022 Worlds run. The Darkin Blade was the biggest power pick of the tournament and was instrumental in decimating T1 in the Grand Finals. 

Pyosik — Kindred

Pyosik was a Kindred one-trick during his solo-queue streaming days before turning pro, so this pick tied his amateur origin story directly to his championship moment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many League of Legends Worlds skins have been released since 2011?

Riot has released a new commemorative skin line every year the World Championship has been held since 2011, with 15 sets total through 2025. Each set typically includes five to seven skins — one per player on the winning roster who meets eligibility requirements.

What was the first Worlds skin ever released?

The first Worlds skins came from Fnatic's 2011 win, released in an orange-and-green color scheme matching the team's branding. Riot later re-released the set with cleaner trims and sharper visual effects for players who missed the original run.

How do players qualify for a Worlds skin?

A player must be on the winning roster and meet a minimum participation threshold — generally at least two Play-In or Group Stage games, or one Knockout Stage game. Substitute players can qualify too, as DRX's sub jungler Juhan did in 2022 with a Maokai skin.

Which player has the most Worlds skins?

Faker holds the record with seven Worlds skins across his six championship wins with SK Telecom T1/T1 (2013, 2015, 2016, 2023, 2024, 2025), including two skins in 2024 after being named Finals MVP.

Which champion has the most Worlds skins?

Lee Sin has received three separate Worlds skins, tied to championship runs in 2013, 2019, and 2023, making him the most-decorated champion in the skin line's history.

When did Worlds Prestige skins start?

The first Prestige Worlds skin was awarded to DRX's Kingen in 2022 for his Aatrox, given specifically because he won the tournament's Finals MVP award. Since 2024, Prestige skins are released as standalone designs rather than upgrades of the base skin.

Which team has won the most Worlds skin lines?

T1 (formerly SK Telecom T1) has the most, with six full skin lines from their titles in 2013, 2015, 2016, 2023, 2024, and 2025 — a total of 36 individual skins once their 2025 set releases.

Can you still buy old Worlds skins?

Worlds skins aren't sold in the regular store, but Riot periodically unvaults them during the World Championship period each year, making past sets purchasable again. Prestige skins are the exception and generally remain unavailable after their original release.
