After reaching the highest rank in every Riot Games title, RohanGod has been rewarded with a piece of League of Legends history few thought would ever return—the 2012 Championship Riven skin.
While most League players struggle to reach the highest rank, this player has achieved it in all the other Riot-developed titles: VALORANT, Teamfight Tactics, and Legends of Runeterra. This is an impressive feat, encompassing various game genres, including MOBA, FPS, card games, and auto battlers, which serves as a testament to their gaming skills.
Championship Riven is often cited alongside PAX skins and Black Alistar as one of the rarest skins in the game. It debuted back in 2012 as the first championship skin after Worlds. It was sold for a week, and it never came back. It had a unique shape for the Riven sword, making it a rare and one-of-a-kind cosmetic only owned by players who’ve been playing the game since the early days.
While Riot brought back the other championship skins for players in Worlds, Riven’s skin never returned, and it became a topic of discussion ever since.
Finally, the developer reintroduced the Championship Riven skin in 2016 but with a key difference: the champion’s new skin didn’t feature a crown on the head. To preserve the exclusivity of the 2012 skin, existing owners of the original skins also got a special loading screen border, exclusive summoner icon, and an updated version of the skin itself, making it almost priceless in the community.
“I wanted this more than any material object when I was a kid. [I] really just don’t know what to say except for thank you,” RohanGod said on his X (formerly Twitter) account. According to the player, he has also achieved the highest rank in other popular multiplayer games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, Marvel Rivals, and many more.
If the developer continues down this path of rewarding cross-title achievements with ultra-rare cosmetics, it could mark a new era of recognition across the Riot ecosystem.
