storm abyss Jul 20, 2022, 4:19 AM

#

Yes it's called Placebo Effect

hasty totem Jul 20, 2022, 4:25 AM

#

not really play better but it feels better

#

as in the experience is smoother

#

usually happens with older champs

#

I've got KDA All Out Ahri like 3 days ago on my NA account that's I only play her now because of the skin and because I don't want to see the shit 2012 model

#

same goes for Zed

#

and I barely play champs like Lee Sin or Yasuo because of their shit models too, especially lee Sin

#

i only really buy new champs when i get skin shards for them

#

so wouldnt be able to tell

hasty totem Jul 20, 2022, 4:30 AM

#

for me it's usually the older champs

quaint frigate Jul 20, 2022, 4:30 AM

#

Yes

#

If u ever played dark cosmic Lux vs any other skin with Lux

hasty totem Jul 20, 2022, 4:30 AM

#

there are a few champs that are bearable like Corki but there's something about the others that don't feel smooth

quaint frigate Jul 20, 2022, 4:30 AM

#

U will feel the difference.

hasty totem Jul 20, 2022, 4:31 AM

#

it's just the skins make the experience smoother than if you use the base model

#

whether it's sfx, animations or something

#

it makes it feel more smooth

raven hedge Jul 20, 2022, 4:35 AM

#

quaint frigate If u ever played dark cosmic Lux vs any other skin with Lux

well dark cosmic is actually pay to win XD

#

her ult hit box looks way smaller on that skin

storm abyss Jul 20, 2022, 4:36 AM

#

Some champs also have better visuals or is less clunky

#

But majority will be placebo effect

raven hedge Jul 20, 2022, 4:38 AM

#

yeah

hasty totem Jul 20, 2022, 4:38 AM

#

I want Muay Thai Lee Sin purely because the Autos look more smooth and impactful than his base model

#

that's all I care about Donkey

quaint frigate Jul 20, 2022, 4:38 AM

#

raven hedge her ult hit box looks way smaller on that skin

Haven’t really noticed that bc I don’t really have a problem aiming her ult

#

It’s pretty huge but the skin in general just feels so smooth

raven hedge Jul 20, 2022, 4:38 AM

#

its more a problem with me dodging it

#

it will look like it wont hit you and then you die

quaint frigate Jul 20, 2022, 4:38 AM

#

And like idk something about it just feels better when she’s flying LOL

#

But for some reason her e feels slower

gentle narwhal Jul 20, 2022, 5:01 AM

#

Players with default skins are better than ones without. Fight me.

noble niche Jul 20, 2022, 5:50 AM

#

skin is win

rugged jolt Jul 20, 2022, 8:44 AM

#

I actually do feel that some skins provide better audio visual queues so that certain mechanics on champs feel easier to perform, although obviously this is just a placebo

thin flume Jul 20, 2022, 12:55 PM

#

well idk about being better but playing a champ with a skin def helps

#

i wouldnt even play kayle if i didnt have her sun skin

#

and i would buy much more champs if i had their certain skins

buoyant frigate Jul 20, 2022, 12:56 PM

#

Some skins are kinda p2w

idle tide Jul 20, 2022, 1:01 PM

#

some skins abilities and such can be difficult to see

#

which is why some are banned in competitions lol

untold crown Jul 20, 2022, 1:31 PM

#

that bullshit dawnbringer yone is impossible to hear q3 charging

south path Jul 20, 2022, 2:29 PM

#

Idk but like BA yuumi q has this heavy weight to control compared to something like heartseeker or halloween yuumi for some reason (maybe it's a me feeling)

#

But the graphic + sfx is way louder for me and feels heavier to steer

buoyant frigate Jul 20, 2022, 2:37 PM

#

edg yuumi q is so good compared to her other skins

#

it is yuumi tho so it doesnt matter that much

rugged dirge Jul 20, 2022, 2:45 PM

#

i play omega squad teemo, spamming the dance emote and dies

south path Jul 20, 2022, 2:58 PM

#

buoyant frigate edg yuumi q is so good compared to her other skins

i play edg so the crowd can clap for me whenever i press a singular button

#

legit 100% winrate skin

fleet eagle Jul 20, 2022, 3:22 PM

#

i only use edg zoe

#

i have all skins but after getting it i havent used anything other than edg

mellow hollow Jul 20, 2022, 4:09 PM

#

No, because faker doesn't use skins and I am faker

buoyant frigate Jul 21, 2022, 12:21 AM

#

objectively yes

granite folio Jul 21, 2022, 4:28 AM

#

kinda

terse lake Jul 21, 2022, 4:41 AM

#

Yeah some skins have animations or sound effects that are very crisp

#

for me it would be project ww ig

exotic zinc Jul 21, 2022, 4:47 AM

#

lee sin

#

his base skin ugly af

#

storm dragon and muay thai tho

#

unironically upgrades ur gameplay

compact zenith Jul 21, 2022, 4:52 AM

#

In my opinion yes it makes me confident and boosted up for battle than just normal skins

#

Though if i get 0/1 early game and i have a good skin i automatically mute all of players expecting one toxic teammate or enemy

#

Saying skin no skill while i just got it in the hextech chest

weary basin Jul 21, 2022, 5:25 AM

#

versed anchor is it just me or i do play better when im using a skin

ITS P2W GURA!!

#

Anyways I feel like if I have a skin, I actually play that champ, so I play better even tho I don’t play that champ often
