What if trading skins were a thing
You can only trade skins if you own 10 or more skins to avoid abusing the chest skin you get when you make your account.
Skins can be traded between friends who've been on your list longer than 10 days.
Just an idea
Ehh, I'm not a huge fan of this idea. You can already gift skins, and it basically does allow for abuse of the crafting system or for abuse of sales to gift friends skins.
Right now, you can't gift friends any skin shards you have in crafting or any skins that are on sale for the sale price. If you try to gift a friend a skin when it's on sale, you'll give it to them for full price to you. With this idea, you could buy it for yourself at half price, then trade it to a friend at full price, and you can also trade skins unlocked through crafting. There would have to be some kind of limiter, because on most skins, Riot gets a fraction of the cost on it if you got it through crafting, and that's assuming you actually bought the chests to get the orange essence/reroll, and sale skins are half price. The main issue is cost. Most extreme scenario is I have Spirit Guard Udyr, which I got from Hextech Crafting, and my brother got mystery gifted Pulsefire Ezreal. If he's an Udyr player, and I'm an Ezreal player, I could trade him Spirit Guard Udyr for Pulsefire Ezreal and we both get Ultimate skins we wanted literally for the cost of his friend's mystery gift. Crafting balances out by the random factor. For every Spirit Guard Udyr reroll that happens, there's hundreds of thousands of 520 RP rerolls, which balance it out because you actually spend more RP buying chests and keys than you do on 520 skins.
Frankly I think they should be able to trade skin shards. Like say my friend likes Oriana and AP mids in general. I do not like playing Orianna and I have heartseeker Oriana skin in my loot. I could trade that skin shard for one they have I like to play. But the trick is they are still shards after trade. So they would still need 1050 orange essence to unlock it. This way you can't really abuse the trade skin shard mechanic since you will still need to unlock it.
Would make botting more profitable. Guy makes 20 Bots for you that Farm stuff and then trade it on your Main Account for money.
