What was your first skin and do you still use it today?

I know we all come into League saying we'll never spend money (ha...haha....hahahahahahaha), but eventually we see that awesome looking skin that we just have to have and next thing you know you've spent $200 on skins. But what caused the avalanche? What was your first skin you ever bought? And in regards to that skin, do you still use it today or has another skin for that champ taken its place?

For me, my first skin was Lil' Slugger Trundle. When I first saw it, it was just amazingly epic for me. It was a great shoutout to old school baseball on a champ that I loved to play. I gave in, bought some RP, and got the skin. I played that skin for so long as I mained Trundle back in the day.

Sadly, my story is a tragic one. With the Visual Downgrade (my opinion) of Trundle, Lil' Slugger was changed into Adult Softball. The essence of old school baseball was gone, and with it, my desire for the skin. I would refund my first ever skin...and it hurt to do, but it wasn't what I bought. Now, when I play Trundle, I only use Traditional Trundle as a shoutout to what was lost.

So what about you? I hope yours isn't as tragic as mine, but I'd love to hear yours! :D

Dark Valkyrie Diana. I knew I wanted her, so bought her immediately when I started along with the skin; didn't really know if the skin was good, just knew I wanted the coincidental Valkyrie skin :3

After that I think I just bought skins every time they did the self Mystery Skin deal.

used high noon yasuo first. I had no interest in skins then but suddenly mystery skins became available and I had enough for one and that was what it was. After the first, I got addicted.

I started playing when most skins were just bad recolors, my first skin was deep one kassadin and I still use it. I'm actually glad I have it, I don't think it's available anymore and when they rework him I bet it looks really coo.l

First skin I ever got was Riot Girl Tristana. I still use it today.

All my skins I own, I've bought using RP I've earned for Free or have been Gifted to me or are Free Skins.

My Skin Collection now has:

Judgement Kayle Totemic Maokai Unchained Alistar Magnificent Twisted Fate (Picked up on sale for 910 RP) Sakura Karma Sun Goddess Karma Traditional Karma Time Machine Zilean Sherwood Ashe Dread Knight Garen Festive Kassadin (earned from the free Mystery Gift For good Behavior) Victorious Morgana Atlantean Syndra Marquis Vladmir Runeborn Xerath

I have been able to restrain from instabuying lots and lots of skins. INCLUDING Arclight Vel'koz, Order of the Lotus Karma, and several others.

I just realize that I can actually go without spending ANY RP whatsoever on League. And as far as I'm concerned, I can go without skins for a long time if I have to.

Crimson Akali; it is still one of my favorites. I love the splash art.

The very first skin i bought was Mafia Miss Fortune, and i love it and still use it when i adc with her or play her on ARAm.

When i first started playing i was playing as ashe adc in bot games quite a bit and went up against MF quite a lot and i thought hr kit was pretty awesome, so when her free week came around i got to try her and fell in love with playing her so i saved up and bought her with ip.

Well playing her i had so much fun and then it caught my eye that she had a few good looking skins, cow girl , secret agent, road warrior and then i saw the Mafia one and was sold, the splash was just so damn hot, she looked great in the Suit with the hat, the Tommy guns and well the fact that she was wearing Stockings just sold me.

So i spent $5 and used that and the free ip and got her skin and still love using it to this day, i have also gotten the cowgirl one from a mystery gift and well i dont adc that often now but generally in aram i will use the mafia skin and on the odd occasion when i play adc or even MF mid will i use My First and Fav MF skin Mafia Miss Fortune

Riot Girl Tristana obviously. I usually use Earnest Elf on her now, but the new in-game for Riot Girl looks cool enough that I might use it occasionally.

First real skin I ever got was Deadly Kennen as a mystery gift. I use it because it's my only kennen skin.

Mad Hatter Shaco was my first Skin (And thus Shaco was the first Champ I bought)...I still use it once in a blue moon if I ever have the balls to play Shaco. But I'm not that good with him...

Hmm, does Silver Kayle count? If not, then Sinful Succulence Morgana. Still my favorite of her skins, but I haven't played her in a while...

Not counting freebies from promotions, the first skin I bought was Headhunter Caitlyn.. and I still use it nearly every time I play her. Hell I love it so much I bought the headhunter skins for other champs I had, no less.

Chrome Rammus started the skin buying. I still use it when I pick him or get him in ARAM. I don't even like to think about how many skins I have now.
