Faker’s Rare Appearance with Skins Surprises Fans
In the professional League of Legends (LoL) scene, Faker is known for owning numerous skins, making him one of the most iconic champions in the game. Additionally, he has two Hall of Legends skins. In fact, many players often mention that Faker has more skins than most champions in LoL. The total number of skins currently owned by Faker has reached 7 and is set to rise to 9 with the official release of the two 2024 World Championship skins.
However, Faker is also someone who rarely uses skins for his champions, especially during World Championship events. It is almost certain that he has skins available or has to spend money to purchase them. Moreover, one of the rare occasions when Faker used a skin was during a match where he was “carrying” his team. This led to many players being surprised and quickly buzzing on social media.
The fact that Faker uses skins also helps boost his stream views significantly, with over 10,000 views on the SOOP platform. It can be said that Faker’s use of skins is very rare and has a close relationship with his fans, marking a “once in a thousand years” moment. After all, no one knows when he will next use a skin or if he will ever use one again.
Currently, Faker has used skins less than ten times
It’s surprising to see that a player who owns the most skins in professional League of Legends has used them less than ten times. In fact, the number of times Faker has decided to use skins is even fewer (around 2 times), while most instances are due to technical issues or requests from viewers and organizers to provide a better experience.
As Faker himself has shared, using a designated skin helps him feel more comfortable and not lose focus during his plays. Therefore, while there are significant advantages to using skins, if Faker must use one, it is likely only when he feels pressured or wants to experience the skin of his own champion.
