Change it up with Chroma Packs

Express your style and personality in League of Legends with chroma packs that reimagine original color schemes, allowing you to make your favorite champions and skins your own. Where skins offer alternate fantasies from a champion’s base thematic, chroma packs serve up new ways to personalize a specific champion or skin.

Designed with clarity in mind, each chroma pack is built around a themed palette of complementary colors and includes three chromas that modify either a champion’s base or one of their skins. As new optional cosmetic items that don’t impact balance or affect your ability to play the game, each of these initial packs will be available for 590 RP.

You can only unlock chroma packs for champions and skins you own. Head to the bundles tab of the store to unlock the chroma pack that suits you. Once you’ve picked up a chroma pack or two, your chromas will appear during champion select under the skins tab linked to the base champion or skin (at launch, chroma packs will not be available in Team Builder).

Change it up with these first run chroma packs:


Champion base and skin chroma packs

Lucian Prime base chroma pack

Garen Noble base chroma pack

Blitzcrank Steel base chroma pack

Fizz Scorch base chroma pack

Dragonfist Lee Sin Duel skin chroma pack

Pool Party Leona Dawn skin chroma pack

Nemesis Jax Sand skin chroma pack

As a new product, we want to continue to improve chroma packs over time. We’re excited for players to get into game with them, and to hear even more feedback from the community. Still have questions? Click here to visit our Chroma Packs FAQ and we’ll see you on the battlefield!

I love the idea, I hate how it came out. It should of been linked to Champion Mastery and it should of been linked to people who actually play that champion. It gives people incentives to main a champion and get good at playing that one champion instead they can just buy it like a normal skin. Honestly this could of had so much more potential

Not worth the RP at all.

Definitely will not buy. Link to Champion Mastery or IP. Upvote this post to show RIOT that you agree.

waste of freaking money, this should not be sold for RP, if Riot is gonna do this at least make it sold for IP instead. IP is so useless after you've hit lvl 30 and got majority of the champions that you like to play. It just sits there accumulating.

Sell it for IP and link it to champ mastery, it's stupid to charge $5 for a palette swap.

Swampmajikk4/30/2015, 6:45:09 PM153 votes

I'm sorry but charging for palette swaps is BULLSHIT. charging for the skins fine but for color alterations? this is BLATANT price gouging. you should have been doing this from day 1 especially in mirror matches but now you charge....wtf. you're not a small company scraping by on nothing anymore..

Excellent idea, poor execution. I will not spend real money on this.

Rakanadyo4/30/2015, 6:38:39 PM107 votes

Should be like Heroes of the Storm, where you get these as you improve with a champion. Considering your coming out with a system like that, too, it would've worked out perfectly.

i dont understand why its so expensive. a skin modder could easily do that in 10 seconds. you should be able to buy them with IP as well as RP. i think having it cost 3000 IP for base skin chroma packs would be fair. gives people who cant afford skins a chance to change up the base colors of their fav champions

And it's gonna be FREEE- Oh... No? Not interested.

Cid Dracovitch4/30/2015, 6:46:04 PM69 votes

...... I think I've seen this before. Doesn't Heroes of the Storm do this only for free once you hit a certain level with the character? :O

They should also make it like 10,000 IP

That way they have the choice. I like these packs, but buying it on top of buying a skin for it (except for the base skins packs) feels like a little to much.

Vessek2g4/30/2015, 6:58:02 PM57 votes

590RP for a skin (or base model) recolour? Can I just have a skin instead please?

Lordekaiser4/30/2015, 7:42:04 PM54 votes

Wow! Thats really co- FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY RP!!

SupremeDankMeme4/30/2015, 7:22:45 PM44 votes

A pretty cool idea honestly, but I do believe these packs should either cost a bit less RP or cost IP instead. Mastery would be the most preferable for everyone I think. This has potential, just needs a bit of work on where this should stand really. I'm excited to see where these will go.summoner 31

Getting Lotions chroma here soon. Mostly because I don't like the skins he currently has.

Are Chroma packs only available for skins? What about doing Chroma for Base skins as well?
