Can you guys add a button in options to disable skins so people can get used to fighting against 1 Visual Style?

Please? Ty. This will help alot and potentially raise the player level

Would be kind of nice to have a toggle for playing against default skins. Some skins make certain visual indicators harder to read in fights.

Here's the thing - about 70% of the time, you're not going to be fighting against 1 visual style. Most players use skins on their favorite champions, and very uncommonly do you actually see the classic skins, so disabling skins is pointless because there won't ever be one visual style. Learn to play against champions and their different skins, because that's the norm, not always seeing champions in the exact same classic skin.

I don't think this could be a per game/in game feature, it would have to be an all or none. Either you disable all other player's skins or you let them all through. Loading 2x the assets (sound effects, models, animations, textures, particles, etc.) just so you can have the option of toggling between them just would just hurt performance on lower end machines and not be overly useful for most players. Add to that the potential for bugs when you swap between skin and no skin, where you could result in animations not resuming correctly or models not loading back in, or spell particles no longer showing up... That's not even getting into Skins being how Riot keeps everything going, and seeing skins makes people more interested in buying skins.

Yeah, there's just way too many problem areas to implement with almost no benefits for Riot or the end player. Improvements to Death Recap would be a far more helpful feature for new players than disabling skins.

Totally agree! If there is an option to turn off map/minion visuals. I can not understand why don't they give us the opportunity to set it. Especially nowdays It's usually hard to decide what champion is against me... yes somtimes it's hard to read what spell is coming in teamfight etc... This should be a basic option since it's a hard game with many champions and effects (more than enough learn to read just the basic visuals effects).
