How many other Skins give advantages?
I've been playing League for about a year now before getting into the game one of the things I research was skins. My main concern was if these skins give advantages in game play than this game would start to cost a lot of money.
After doing a bit of research I found that riot was very keen on skins not giving players special advantages. It was actually a huge selling point for riot claiming they offer the game for free and players could play for free on a level playing field.
So from time to time I like to buy a skin in support of the coolest game I've played in a while and what I stumbled across was this Kha'Zix Mecha skin. This skin makes a sound that the default skin does not. When Taste Their Fear activates the skin makes a distinct sound alerting the summoner of enemy presence.
Correct me if I'm wrong please but I feel this gives an advantage over the default skin. I've made a quick video to sample the sound and trust me in game play this is way move valuable than it seems in this short video. There is a number of time I've been on route in my jungle and heard this sound and quickly reacted to the situation. '
skin would let you have invisible stuns (prior the counter). Casting your E would basically make your "stun-is ready"display invisible for your enemies (not technically invisible but it would be quite hard to see). So you could do 3 stacks then activate your E and while it was activate walk towards yoru enemy without they noticing your stun was up unless their cursos was over you.
First model for his Q in IBlitz is actually smaller than the default skin and thus making you believe that you dodged it when in reality you didn't. That is the reason that skin is banned for competitive play.
W (flail of the northern) has a distinctive animation when you first cast it, although hard to notice, it warns that next attack will do extra damage (similar to nasus cane glowing). Her Calvary bear sejuani got rid of that animation and instead got a glow on your flail making it easir for enemies to know when your W is going to " critc". Similarly her ult stun display was changed from cased in ice to chains, making it more challenging to know if you are stun or not since the display is less noticiable.
