Im generally new to the LoL community as Ive only played for a few months and Ive come across skins in game that I would just love to buy but are no longer available in the store and I was wondering do we ever get a chance to purchase these limited time skins again or did you just have to be around at the time of sale to get a hold of the skin
SH Azykan1 votesSome come back occassionally (like Halloween skins) And some are retired perma or were only gettable through an event (like the PAX skins)
You just have to watch for when they put the legacy ones on sale :P
Bulimia Vomit1 votesDepends whichs ones you're looking for. Harrowing-Halloween Snowdown-Christmas and General Legacys comeback atleast once a year.
Riotmoonstones1 votesHiya!
We have both limited and legacy skins.
Legacy skins will periodically come back to the store. Examples of these are Kitty Kat Katarina, or Poro Rider Sejuani. Limited skins are removed once the event is over, and there is no guarantee they'll return to the store/be made available again. These would include skins such as Rusty Blitzcrank, Championship Riven and Victorious skins (Jarvan, Janna, Elise, Morgana).
You can find the full list of both legacy and limited skins here.
Elusîve1 votesThats great to know since a lot of the Legacy skins were on my skin wishlist, but can you please clarify whether the World Championship winners such as Fnatic and SKT skins are Legacy or Limited as well as skins such as Championship Thresh and Shyvana
Riotmoonstones1 votesSure! Championship Thresh and Shyvana are legacy, as well as the commemorative Championship team skins, such as SKT, SSW, etc.
Elusîve1 votesThats great to hear I can't wait for the days they are made reavailable
Vistha Kai1 votesA year ago a Rioter said it might be possible for CS Riven to be re-released given the amount of time she wasn't available.
Is it still being considered or shelved like everything ever?
Riotmoonstones2 votesYup! Hippalus did say there's a possibility. :]
"Yes I think Championship Riven will come back someday. Most limited edition skins took four years to come back after release, and it's been two years for Riven so far."
As far as I know, the statement still stands.

I'm fine with it so long as I get that snazzy icon, border, and refund :) I get those, others get the skin, everybody wins.
Zarxis1 votesLimited skins will be brought back [again] if Riot thinks the $$$ they earn by re-releasing those skins will outweigh the backlash that betraying their customers [again] will cause.
Legacy skins can be brought back at any time, but will almost always be tied to a special legacy sale or a bundle.
Beertaster1 votesOh just re-release Championship Riven at the end of every championship game. I have her skin already but it really sucks that both of Riven's best skins are either limited or legacy.
Project Riven1 votesOh just re-release Championship Riven at the end of every championship game. I have her skin already but it really sucks that both of Riven's best skins are either limited or legacy.
Maybe that's why they're the best?
I don't find Dragonblade that amazing though.
