In patch 7.3 there was a small thing added to the scoreboard that makes it so it is supposed to say the name of someones skin if you hover over their icon, turns out this doesn't happen and it was never added.

Direct quote from 7.3 patch notes "Skin Names in Scoreboard "Excuse me, 0/13 Yasuo! What skin are you wearing this game?" NAME-BRAND: Hovering over a player in the scoreboard now shows the name of their skin. "

Unfortunately this doesn't actually happen in game and it should, just thought id bring it up for people to see.

It was added. I remember seeing some of the skin names in game, but were removed sometime later or just not working anymore

Just another failed Riot initiative.

I don't remember when, but it got patched out soon after release. Apparently some skin names were too large and caused problems so they took it down. No idea if they're planning on re implementing it or not, and I can't find the exact reference for it being taken down, but I know I saw it.
