Do the token-costing chromas get you the base skin?

Title. If you buy the skin chromas from the shop for 300 tokens, for example, Battle Boss Qiyana (K.O Chroma) + Icon, will you recieve the base skin along with the chroma, or do you need to already have the base skin in order to use it? Thanks in advance. [slayer-jinx-catface]

No, and I made that mistake last Halloween (bought the chroma after the skins were no longer purchasable) and I've felt like an idiot ever since.

Thanks for replying, that's the saddest story I've ever heard. Atleast now I won't repeat the mistake [sg-kiko]

No of course not Why would riot give you a free skin?

Just wasn't sure, since it's not really specified anywhere. Not really free since 300 tokens is a lot, all of the tokens you can get from the quests add up to 300. Just thought Rito would be generous for once maybe, one can be hopeful.. [sg-lulu]

It's free 'cause you can get 300 tokens for free, you don't have to spend any money on it. Meaning that it's free

''Just thought Rito would be generous for once maybe'' It's literally a free to play game, where you can get a lot of free stuff during events and with hextech chests They are already generous af

Skins are riot's main source of income, so why would they just give skins for free like that? Especially when a special chroma like that will most likely make more players buy the skin (Or buy a pass to get more tokens)

Every event it's the same thing. Does riot seriously need to put a big red flashing sign on top of the chromas that says ''does not include the base skin''
