I don't play Corki, this splash is ugly as hell and the skin does not offer a single special interaction.

BUT

This was the first legendary skin in the history of league, released more than nine years ago. Somehow a warm and cuddly feeling overcame me, reminding me of simpler times. The sheer sense of nostalgia that accompanies this skin is priceless.

To the youngins among you: Back then, Senior Business Development Manager jasonoliver, also know as 'the legend', descended to us mortals on februari 2010 to announce the first legendary skin. "A Ford is not the same as a BMW, which is not the same as a Bugatti," he preached before us and the masses bowed before this wisdom. "We would like to give our players a similar spectrum of ways to customize their champions," he added and the crowd cheered with joy; their developer overlords anticipated their every need.

There is just so much history behind this skin. Joyful memories, friendly and enlightening discussions about 'price vs it's just an optional cosmetic', people joining together and camaraderie filling forums and games.

Needless to say, when I clicked on that beautiful, emotion provoking legendary skin permanent I gladly took the 910 orange essence.

The end.

PS: I'm just fooling around. Don't take this too seriously.

No actually thank you for this information. I also got this skin recently after rerolling and was going to disenchant but now I think I will keep it. Thx

Excuse me, but that skin is the best, most high quality legendary in the game.

Still better than any of Lux's new skins.

Sadly as a Corki main myself, I never got the chance to get this skin. It has such a unique design.

I get its a joke but if you reroll 3 skins you unlock the skin, you cant disenchant it.

As a fellow owner of this skin. It's my personal favorite right below ufo. The splash art is so old and crummy looking that it's charming. Nothing brings a smile to my face quite like knowing the enemy team is greeted with corki giving them a thumbs up looking straight out of 2012.

"There will be more Legendary Skins in the future, but they will be few and far between, as this distinction will be reserved for only the most exceptional skins." Things really have changed since then huh

I have fucking Bittersweet Lulu. A lot of skins in my loot but somehow none of them are champs I play or have even played almost once. Although I've managed to get Teamspirit Anivia.

Felt the same way when I rolled Annie in Wonderland. I dont play Annie at all but the fact that its a legacy legendary skin is pretty awesome
