What skins have you noticed give an advantage to those using them?

Are we ignoring Headhunter Nidalee's INVISISPEAR? Or are we discussing champion designs that are hard to play against, as opposed to ones that are just buggy?

I read a study saying that skins that match the colors of the map have a higher winning rate. It is like camouflage, it makes it harder to pick them out during a fight.

I prefer to use hecarim's original skin over Arcade Hecarim.

Arcade Hecarim makes fun and outrageous sounds and has huge flashy rainbow effects every time he uses a spell, which immediately warn the enemy player that something is about to happen, etc a big heart appears over him when he uses his life steal spell or glittery marks appear on the ground when he uses his charge or AoE lifesteal spell. The as the original skin does not have these sound effects and the AoE on his lifesteal is green and isn't immediately apparent as it sometimes blends in with the background.

I noticed the Birthday Party amumu skin or whatever it's called makes it hard to tell where his bandage is going. Makes it harder to dodge.

Underworld TF most of all. Especially on the Howling Abyss, where it basically makes his Q half invisible.

There's one TF skin with light blue cards that I find harder to see on the howling abyss so that gives him an advantage. Some skins reduce the damage from Leona by 1 so those are harder to play against. Arclight Vayne can be mistaken for Varus easily so she's harder to play against.

Also I kinda hate it when my ADCs have certain skins. A few games ago we had a Queen Ashe. I had too much trouble telling her apart from the rest of my team so I probably did a horrible job peeling for her. I know I played a lot worse than normal.
