Legends of Runeterra: Top 5 skins available to players in the game

Legends of Runeterra patch 2.17.0 was released on October 5 worldwide, and it introduced the Battle Academia skins for six champions and other cosmetics.

While the Battle Academia skins have excited players, there are other great ones available in the game from previous releases. Skins in Legends of Runeterra are directly adopted from League of Legends with rare exceptions.

Due to game mechanics, skins act differently in Legends of Runeterra. Champion skin mostly brings alternate art and different interaction styles that bring a sense of freshness to the gaming experience.

Champion skin is usually available in Bundles or individual sets. All of these skins are purely cosmetic and can only be bought with premium coins.

With the game heading towards its November expansion, let's look at the top 5 skins available in Legends of Runeterra on the 2.17.0 patch. These skins are either available as individual pieces or only in bundles.
