League of Legends Fans Want A Faker Skin

As we march closer to the beginning of the League of Legends World Championships, Riot Games has been doing a good job of getting the fans amped up for the occasion. The latest promo to drop is the official song and accompanying music video, entitled RISE, and it’s what the video depicts that has fans wanting more.

The video itself can be considered a story of sorts, following the success of Samsung Galaxy, now known as Gen. G, as they claimed victory during the 2017 World Championships. Depicting jungler Kang "Ambition" Chan-yong as he chooses weapons before making the climb up the mountain that symbolizes worlds, he faces challenges in the form of three other players, Luka "Perkz" Perković from G2 Esports, Jian "Uzi" Zi-Hao from Royal Never Give Up, and finally Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok from SK Telecom T1.

It’s the final battle that has fans super pumped up, with a post on Reddit asking the question, “Would you like SKT T1 Faker to become a Ryze skin”. Faker already has a few skins, in fact Riot Games has been pretty good about making skins commemorating the World Championship victors, from Fnatic in Season 1, to Samsung Galaxy in 2017. This hypothetical skin would be different however, rather than dressing the champion in the colors of the team that claims victory, fans seem to actually want to pilot their favorite players on Summoners Rift themselves.

Reactions on the Reddit post are fairly positive, with many expressing a desire to see Faker immortalized in such a manner as the greatest League of Legends player in history. Could this be the beginning of a new skin line? Fingers crossed, there are plenty of famous players known for specific champions that could make excellent skins.
