If you’ve been following League of Legends at all, you probably know Faker — the legendary mid laner whose skill and impact on the game is almost unmatched. But here’s a surprising fact: Faker has more skins than a third of the entire League roster right now. Yep, that’s right. Out of 171 champions, Faker’s champions have a combined total of 62 skins, which is about 36% of the whole roster.
Why Does Faker’s Skin Count Matter?
At first glance, it might just seem like a random trivia nugget — skins are just cosmetics after all, and they don’t change gameplay. But the number of skins a player has on their champions often reflects their influence and popularity. Faker’s collection shows how much the community and Riot Games themselves recognize his legacy.
Many champions in League have fewer than 9 skins total, while Faker alone ties the skin counts of champions like Galio, Gnar, and Karthus — champions that have been around for years and are very popular in their own right. For example, he has 9 skins on his main picks, a number that surpasses many other champions who have been in the game for just as long.
A Deeper Look: Which Champions Are Outskinned By Faker?
To put it in perspective, Faker has more skins than these champions:
- Cassiopeia
- Elise
- Heimerdinger
- Kha’Zix
- Lissandra
- Neeko
- Qiyana
- Rengar
- Sett
- Shyvana
- Trundle
- Wukong
- Xerath
- Yuumi
And many more, actually totaling over half the League roster who have fewer skins than Faker’s collection.
Seeing this list reminds me of how some champions, despite their sometimes solid performance or popularity, never got as much attention in terms of skins. Champions like Yuumi and Elise are still considered niche or less favored for skins compared to Faker’s mains.
Why Does a Pro Player’s Skin Count Grow Like This?
You might wonder, why does a pro player’s set of champions accumulate so many skins anyway? Here’s the thing: When a player like Faker uses a champion to dominate the competition and the esports scene, Riot often celebrates that by creating exclusive skins showcasing his in-game presence or signature styles. It’s a way to honor the player and hype the fans.
For example, Faker’s iconic Zed skin “SKT T1 Zed” celebrates his championship wins and rank dominance. These skins become legendary in their own right, and fans clamor to get them.
What This Means for League’s Skin Market
Skins don’t just represent style; they’re a huge part of League’s economy. Seeing a single player with such a large skin footprint reflects both his impact and the monetary ecosystem around the game. When Riot releases skins tied to famous players or moments, it often results in spikes in sales and renewed interest in particular champions.
The Fun Side: Imagining Faker’s Skins vs. Other Champs
One thing I found amusing is imagining how much RNG and game history influence skin counts. Faker’s champions like LeBlanc, Zed, and Ryze have some of the flashiest skin lines, while champions like Rengar or Tahm Kench might have fewer or more modest cosmetics.
It’s like Faker’s personal skin collection narrates a story of competitive excellence and fan devotion.
Summary: Faker’s Skin Count in Context
Faker having more skins than a third of the League roster is more than just a random stat. It’s a testament to how Riot and the community celebrate his impact, and how skins reflect both gameplay influence and fan culture.
