Is there a specific reason?

Maybe he's a cheap ass and doesn't want to spend any money on skins?

In LCS they play on custom clients that have all champs/skins unlocked

All pros have unlocked accounts, meaning that everything is available for them.

Are stupid? He has many skins!! Don't you watch his streams? Anyways, in LCK you get to use any skin even if you don't have it so I don't know what you're talking about.

I feel like its a consistency thing. easier to remember the champs without skins like how they move and all that jazz. It also probably falls under preference

Hm, maybe.

A lot of skins can make you stand out more than you want to, it's why i sometimes won't use skins for champs in ranked even if I have them.

Really? O could have sworn he used brolaf

Not that I'm aware of, but maybe. As far as I've seen and heard he never uses skins, at least at pro tournaments.

He has used them a few times. He stated in his interview once i forgot which one that he just does not see any real reason to use them as they dont really give you any advantages. He has some thought, like he played his Skt T1 zed skin at IEM i think it was. i could be wrong about the event but i know he did play it.

You thought of it in that way but I think you're just stupid. I am sure you would want to win and hold that trophy if you had the opportunity. Oh yeah, don't forget the money!

Cause he sucks!!!!! Always ruins those comps with no skin.

the reason faker doesnt use skins is because faker doesnt care about anything but league of legends, i think hes a sociopath he doesnt care abut anything that isnt league

Environmentalist19 votes

The lack of logic in that sentence is strong.

magic pole2 votes

i figured maybe because he doesn't want to advertise them?

he's already the poster-boy of the game. If he used a skin in a competitive match, its sales would spike hard. i.e., millions of people wasting money

granted that's not a full argument as to why he doesn't, but it might have something to do with it.
