Achievement Skins

Skins are great, but anybody can get any skin with enough money (except of course the Victorious skins). I love the idea of rewarding players for skill and achievement rather than have them buy their pleasure. So with that in mind, I suggest Riot introduce skins for having in-game success with specific champions. Currently some of the examples I can think of are:

  • Champion X skin for getting a ranked pentakill with champion X. (Bloodthirsty Draven, Man-eater Fizz, etc.)
  • Win a game as Champion X in less than 20 minutes.
  • Smite Y dragons with champion X, and do not the enemy team get 1.
  • Win a game with 0 deaths on your team (For some support champ)

I'm thinking these skins would all be champion specific, therefore you would need to play that champion and complete the achievement to receive the skin. Of course not all champs would have an achievement based skin, but maybe one day they would.

Please share your thoughts and suggestion!

I'd honestly hate these. People would go out of their way to complete the achievement instead of winning the game.

"Hey, let's push and end this!" "Nope, gonna smite my dragon for the achievement."

"Sona, why are you backing out every fight?" "I can't get a death or I won't get my skin, so I'm gonna hang back."

And imagine the rage when you grab a Draven or Fizz' pentakill on accident or because you don't think they're going to get it.

It's a good idea in theory, but I think there's going to be a ton of problems with it.
