skin bug in team builder

team builder isn't loading skins properly, the skin will only load in game if you switch to original champion skin then back to the selected skin you wish to play with. its pretty annoying, any updates on when this will be fixed?

I too am experiencing this issue along with other summoners I play with.

The problem seems to occur as a result of the latest patch where teambuilder will autoselect your last played teambuilder champion, skin, runes, masteries, summoners etc.

If I select a new champion and select the skin the skin will load fine, but if I leave the pre-selected champion/skin (check that the correct skin is selected as well) it will load the default skin for said champion.

Please fix :)

I've had thing problem for a long while. Probably a month after Team Builder came back I started noticing this. For those of you who think it doesn't matter, imagine playing with normal Udyr while being matched with a spirit guard one.

has happened to me on multiple occasions! not really happy about this, tbh. there's a reason why i buy skins!

Yea I have to repick my skin every time. Luckily for me the default skins are pretty cool, but I feel bad for the people paying good money for high tier skins and then playing games without them due to this minor coding overlook (it's not a bug, just some designer forgetting to add it in the first place). I mean it's not hard to code it so that it simply checks your last skin and reapplies it...

Hi Everyone,

This is a known issue with how TeamBuilder keeps your previously selected skins.

This will be patched in the future, but for now the workaround is simply:

  • Select the original skin and wait a second for it to select
  • Select your wanted skin

This will need to be done before each game until the bug is fixed unfortunately, but it should work around the issue in the interim :-)
