Ah, League of Legends skins. There’s nothing gamers love more than a little in-game customization. Whether it be shiny guns or a different hairstyle, in-game cosmetics allow players the opportunity to express themselves in the virtual world. League of Legends is no exception – the game boasts an impressive array of in-game skins, complete with color customization or ‘chromas’ for that extra touch of personality.
But Riot’s skins aren’t just in-game cosmetics. Many of them tie into alternate universe storylines in the game’s lore – in fact, Riot has just released a series of skins based on its hit animated Netflix series, Arcane. There are different skin themes that belong to different universes, and all the skins within that universe are linked.
Arcane isn’t the only pop culture reference that can be found in League of Legends. There are numerous tongue-in-cheek nods to memes, music and movies throughout Riot’s dazzling array of skins; here are a few of our favorites.
