The bug occurs during picks. From what I have seen/experienced, if you pick a champ, say Thresh as I did and then trade with another one of your teamates, which for me was Riven, and then you change one of your summoners in the last few seconds before the game starts, you will be given a random skin that you don't own for the champion you are playing (my friend got championship Riven when we first found the bug, I got Crimson Elite). the skin will last the entire game but it will not be given to you after the game is over. I had to stop playing shortly after we found this bug so I didn't have time to test it on other champions, so hopefully you guys out there will be able to test most, if not all of them. I just wanted to bring this bug to everyone's attention, hopefully you can remove this bug soon!

I also ran into this bug while playing in the new champ select on Ranked, except it was on Darius. I asked my friend to hold Darius for me and I would trade him Yasuo once bans/earlier picks were over with and final adjustments were made. I usually always use Dunkmaster Darius as my usual skin when I play him, so I didn't bother changing anything as I thought after we traded champs I was fine. Once we got into the game though I was Bioforge Darius and he was Project Yasuo (he told me he does not own that skin for Yasuo either.) So I was surprised and so was he, it lasted the entire game and I didn't have it unlocked after or owned and neither did he with project Yasuo. So I didn't bother trying to remake the bug again until today with my other friend. This time though, we traded Darius & Nautilus for one game, and Darius & Braum for the game after. When we traded champs for Darius and Nautilus, the game started as usual and I was given the classic Darius skin instead of Bioforge or my Dunkmaster, but something I didn't see yesterday happened with him. He had the classic Nautilus skin, but it was labeled** "game_character_skin_displayname_Nautilus_8" **We finished that game and then we found another and did the trade between Braum and Darius. This time I got Bioforge Darius again, but he got the classic skin for Braum like what he had got with Nautilus, except for he was also labeled "game_character_skin_displayname_Braum_8" I'm probably going to try this with more champions as the day goes on most likely to see who else it occurs with and I just wanted to help out give more information on this bug. Hopefully it gets fixed soon!

Pretty crazy bug.. Will cost Riot some $$$ as people will test skins for free.
