Skins not working in teambuilder [CLIENT]

Orreo·12/29/2014, 7:34:22 PM·13 votes·4,409 views

About half of the time when i play teambuilder, I select my champion and my skin, then wait for the game to start. But when the game starts, I don't have my skin. I have heard a lot of complaints about the same issue from other players. I am not angry, just concerned. Its a free game but those of us that choose to pay for skins should be able to consistently use them whenever we choose. Just hoping that this gets fixed soon.

Thank you.

I have noticed that if you click back and forth a couple times, between a champ's normal skin and the purchased skin, until only the skin you want is highlighted (about 3-4 times) It should work.

I have never played Team Builder with a skin. I always pick my champ, then my skin, and I always have the normal one. The only champ who's skin worked was Blood Moon Shen -.-

same with me It shows a orange boarder around the skin you selected, one time for me it showed that for both the original and the skin...

My FIX: Has worked every time I tried to use it.

Step one: Choose your classic skin (Be sure not to choose Nami's second skin, you cant do tb then)

Step two: Choose the skin you want to use

Thats it. Its simple Its ez Its pz

Thank you guys for the tips, the clicking back and forth a few times worked. It would just be nice to not have to worry about doing it before every game.

well, what i was told also works is selecting a different champ than who you played last game, and thenn go back to the champ and select the skin.

its incredibly frustrating.. i didnt buy braums only skin to not play with it on, or Pool party skins, not to use them.

and a friend of mine is incredibly anal about his skins and refuses to play champs without (read- hes a VERY spoiled rich kid) and he got into a game without spirit guard udyr on and raged. we also laughed at him

See i am having this issue too with my QuinnQuinn , but when i do manage to get it to work i have horrible lag in my games and cant even play. im surprised riot hasnt noticed this. But it's a fight just to get my skins to work in team builder too.

I'm having the same exact issue, and only in team builder. It happens with any champion i have a skin for, and its almost gaurunteed to happen if i dont manually re-select it MULTIPLE times before match starts. if i do nothing, it never ever remembers my skin choice and always loads me without a skin. It's really frustrating seeing how i payed hundreds of dollars for all the skins i got and can't use. Riot please fix

This happens to me as well. When I host the game my skin works fine.

I am tired of trying to finagle my client to 1. open 2. let me in a match and then finally 3. Use the SKIN I PAID FOR :c Riot please fix this crap. Supporting a ticket is a giant run around. I get no real help. I am just about done.
