Skins in League of Legends are a great way to showcase one’s sense of style. The storylines attached to each of them deepen the game’s lore, and they also help players rekindle their holiday spirits.
With Halloween approaching and outside decorations slowly shifting toward pumpkins and skeletons, Riot Games is about to kick off the annual Harrowing event. Not only does a set of new quests become available for players to complete, but Riot also uses the occasion to release Halloween-themed skins that tend to be as iconic as a cosmetic can get.
Considering these skins are only available for a limited time inside the game shop, you’ll need to get them while they’re hot. You’ll need to resort to loot boxes throughout the year, otherwise, and the chances of opening a holiday skin out of all the cosmetics in League aren’t that high. Riot brings back seasonal skins when their respective events kick off, however, meaning you can also wait for a year to get them in case you miss the chance.
While everyone’s favorite will be heavily based on the champions they main, we tried focusing on each skin’s visual aspects alongside how fitting they are to Halloween.
Witch’s Brew Blitzcrank
Blitzcrank functions well in a lane, but it’s hard to miss his torso that is unusually large compared to his head.
Witch’s Brew Blitzcrank reimagines the support as a cauldron that was enhanced with the gift of life to assist Bewitching Miss Fortune.
Retailing for 1,350 RP, Blitzcrank’s cauldron body has classic Halloween carvings, but he has an evil-looking eye instead of a head. His eye certainly resembles Vel’Koz a little, but there doesn’t seem to be a connection between them as long as the Harrowing lore goes.
Little Devil Teemo
As cute as he may be, it’s hard to find anyone that legitimately enjoys playing against Teemo. The little bugger turns every game into a 3D version of Minesweeper, and his Halloween skin depicts him perfectly.
Priced at 1,350 RP, the Little Devil Teemo skin cracks a window to every Teemo player’s mind. The sinister tiny red ball of fur will make it even more annoying to step onto his mines, and you may feel the urge to switch lanes with a teammate that can resist his mind games.
Count Kledula
The top lane is where the most fearless players clash in League. It isn’t an easy lane by any means, which makes winning it even more satisfying. A top laner has to accurately predict the enemy jungler’s position and anticipate any rotations from the mid laner, which can be a lot tougher when you’re up against a vampire.
Count Kledula features the crazy top lane brawler as Dracula, and his trusty mount Skaarl accompanies him as a bat.
Priced at 1,350 RP, the walking bat is enough by itself to justify this skin’s price. If you aren’t convinced, however, we recommend checking out Count Kledula’s spell animations since they are pieces of art.
Headless Hecarim
The movie Ghost Rider received a sequel, but anyone waiting for a third movie was left hanging. League players, on the other hand, have a chance to play as Ghost Rider by simply picking Hecarim.
Though the champion has multiple skins that turn him into a flaming monster, only one of them turns his head into a pumpkin, and that’s all that matters.
Priced at 975 RP, Headless Hecarim could make an excellent yard decoration for Halloween in real-life when he isn’t busy wreaking havoc on side lanes.
