Prestige in the first half of 2020

Riot··3 votes·41,071 views

You should feel confident using Prestige Points and event tokens on the skin you want most—so here's the lineup of Prestige skins that'll come out in the first half of 2020. No spoilers on unrevealed thematics!

2020 Prestige Point skins:

  • True Damage Senna
  • Zyra
  • Zoe
  • Plus more in the second half of the year

2020 Event Prestige skins:

  • Mecha Kingdoms Garen, releasing shortly after this announcement
  • Malphite
  • Lucian
  • Plus more in the second half of the year

All 2020 Event Prestige skins will return at the end of the year for purchase with Prestige Points.

Prestige Borders & Icons

2020 Prestige skins have a new border to differentiate them from last year's. Each skin will also come with its own unique summoner icon — a new bonus for this year's lineup! Unlocking a 2020 Prestige skin with Prestige Points or Event Tokens will always grant the new border and that skin's unique icon.

Unlocking a 2020 Prestige skin via loot drop or skin shard reroll will only grant the border and icon if the skin is still obtainable via 2020 Prestige Points or Event Tokens. Border and icon cutoff dates:

  • Prestige Point skins: January 28th 2021, 13:00 PT
  • Event Prestige skins: When tokens expire from your inventory
    • When event token skins return at the end of the year for purchase with Prestige Points, those purchases won't grant borders or icons.

Other reminders

You'll be able to pick up 2020 Prestige Points from Masterwork Chest bundles starting today, January 15th 2020, with the launch of Mecha Kingdoms. Senna's Prestige Point skin isn't available yet. 2020 Prestige Points will expire January 28th 2021, 13:00 PT.

2019 Prestige Points expire and their store bundles go offline February 3rd 2020, 13:00 PT so use 'em if you got 'em. At that time, 2019's Prestige Point skins will become unobtainable outside of Hextech Crafting drops.

We'll be back later in the year with the second half of 2020's Prestige Skin list!

I'm surprised they're doing a Zyra skin :O

Party Favours13 votes

So happy for Zyra, they always said that Zyra was one of the most time consuming champs to make skins for because the amount of time for her is almost to or equal as a legendary skin [sg-soraka]

Oleandervine5 votes

And then they made Kayn.

Sukishoo6 votes

Next they made Aphelios who I'm sure will be a bit complex in certain skins

P0IS0N IVY2 votes

Yeah, I honestly found that reasoning silly since a good number of champions have various forms these days.

I'm personally not a fan of the prestige gold, but it's good she'll get recognition.

What if it was a Star Guardian Zyra?!

I like playing Zoe, but does she really need another skin before Ornn?

EvilUnicornLord5 votes

These are just prestige skins (fancy chromas that cost an absurd amount of time/cash). Hopefully we're getting an Ornn skin soon enough but I really don't need or want him to get a prestige skin, a regular skin will do.

Edit: So we are definitely getting a new Ornn skin. Elderwood Ornn, by the looks of it.

MissRippedJeans2 votes

They technically only cost US$15 or so (to buy the pass) but the true cost is the time it takes to grind to get tokens to get the prestige skin/100 prestige points. It’s pretty much a legendary chroma with a lot of effort to earn it

Edit: some are cooler than others. The TD Qyiana and Spooky MF are the best IMO

The new video about products this year said they heard our concerns about the endless grind for event content, and will address it in events in 2020.

Ornn's actually got a new elderwood skin confirmed and coming in soon! it looks really nice

Sukishoo6 votes

Ornn was revealed to be getting one in the skins and events video alongside many others that haven't seen them in ages

Sukishoo7 votes

Unlocking a 2020 Prestige skin via loot drop or skin shard reroll will only grant the border and icon if the skin is still obtainable via 2020 Prestige Points or Event Tokens.

Glad to see that changed

Pendragyn2 votes

I would have really hoped it was obvious for them. Giving more stuff to those of us who have shelled out enough that we get all the skins with re-rolls is never a bad idea.

HiemDall6 votes

Could we get a list of Event dates for 2020? I would greatly appreciate the ability to plan my spending around event dates

ZYRA!!!!! 😭 im crying. Finally

The Ruined Kìng3 votes

how about Gemstones skins?

The Dreamwalker3 votes

OH! Hear me out, I feel like Zyra could a part of a new Odyssey line or she is a corrupted Elderwood.

If Odyssey, she could summon those plants (or similar looking ones) from Extraction (the game mode).

If Elderwood, she could be using those gorgeous flower particles in the recalls of the Coven skins. Namely Lissandra.

AIQ2 votes

Will there be one for Gemstone skins too?

Oleandervine4 votes

Probably not, there's not a reason to announce them ahead of time. Prestige is time limited.

leaks suggest nunu is the next hextech

The new system for obtaining tokens is way better, along with these announcements. I just wish they would bring back the old prestige skins one last time now that the system is less of a grind and has fixed many issues due to feedback. Literally would make me explode more than I already am over the announcement of PRESTIGE ZOE!!! (IF IT'S A BATTLE ACADEMIA YOU CAN TAKE ALL MY MONEY AND I WOULD FEEL LESS BAD NOT HAVING BATTLE ACADEMIA LUX WHICH I AM SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY TO TRY AND GET FROM LOOT)

Besides me constantly complaining about that constantly, THANK GOD YOU'RE CHANGING THE BORDERS YEARLY. THE NEW BORDER LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER THAN LAST YEARS AND THE FACT THAT YOU'RE MAKING NEW ONES YEARLY JUST MAKES THEM MORE SPECIAL THAN JUST THE SAME BORDER FOR EVERY PRESTIGE (which really, would make obtaining the border not really worth it)

I LOVE YOU RIOT

Will the other True Damage skins be getting prestige? (I mostly want to know about Ekko)

Barei2 votes

TD Ekko is legendary so he def won't get one

So what's the difference between Prestige Point skins and Event Prestige skins? Will I have to pay more to Zyra? :/

Shwicky2 votes

Prestige Point skins will be available in the prestige point shop for the rest of the year while Event Prestige skins can be bought with tokens in the Event token shop for the duration of its respective event.

You can always get a pass and trade in your tokens for prestige points (2200 tokens) rather than the skin, but other than the currency used to obtain there isn't any difference between the two.

Nonlocaldirect2 votes

Can there PLS be a less costly way to get 2019 Prestige points before they expire? I don't wanna have to spend $100 on the bundle to get Pulsefire Thresh Prestige Edition. 😔

Phiredeath2 votes

So what I'm being told in short, is that the 50 points I've saved from missions/events are not only going to expire but that I would need to spend a minimum of $60 to get enough for a single prestige skin that will otherwise become unavailable?

Guess I'm done helping feed this ever hungry grotesque company.

So... In order to get a prestige skin WITH the border, you HAVE to participate in the event, correct?

minilwin3 votes

If it is a Prestige Points Skin, as long as you get it during the year (either through points or from Hextech crafting) you will get the border.

If it is a Event Prestige Skin, you have to obtain it (either through Event tokens or from Hextech crafting) DURING the event (before the event tokens expire from your inventory) in order to get the border. You can still get the skin after the event is over but you will NOT get the border.

I hope this clears things up for you.

Malphite prestige skin... So we get an FPX Malphite skin for doinb and another one earlier in the same year? Or are they going to start doing a prestige skin for certain players on the winning team of worlds? If they are different why 2 skins for malphite?

Larriet1 votes

"World Champion" skins aren't part of the regular skin schedule; in other words, the Skins team actually has only 1 Malphite skin in their plan this year. World Champion skins are special exceptions to the rules.

Another example of this is SSG Taliyah: a Champion's first skin after release is guaranteed to be in the store for at least a year, even if it's Legacy, but that wasn't a "regularly scheduled skin", so it went into the vault anyway.

tl;dr World Champion skins "don't count".
