Looking back at Leaked Skins

Long list of new legendary skins, Star Guardian skins, and champion updates leaked for League | Dot Esports

Looking back at this supposed skin leak, let's see how credible it could be.

First off, both Sejuani and Tahm Kench DID get skins for the year of the pig. So that they were right about.

On the other hand, their description of Sylas was completely off, what with the lifting and tossing of the enemy, and the "AOE table flip". Considering that this "leak" wasn't very long ago and that it is highly doubtful Sylas could have had such a large kit change, this is extremely questionable.

However, we can't completely discount this, unless the Kayle and Morgana rework descriptions are also completely off. K & M will probably be the next in line after Sylas, so...

I do kind of hope most of these skins are real and will get through concept, although I'm not entirely sure how a Legendary "Anti Star Guardian Syndra" would work considering her existing skin and lore.

August debunked the Morgana change mentioned

I thought it was plausible until "Legendary Ivern skin"

That makes zero business sense Ivern is one of the least played champs in the game. There is no monetary incentive to give him a legendary if anything Riot would just give him an Epic just to shut his mains up for a year or two

Also Kayle Ult: "Her Ultimate is similar to Aatrox’s but ranking it up improves other abilities. Leveling up changes Kayle’s appearance."

August has been quoted on Twitch and Reddit for saying that the only change coming to Kayles' R is that it has a mana cost now

I think it's mostly bunk

Sej getting the Lunar Revel skin is literally the safest skin assumption one could make, same as Twitch being nigh certain to get one next year. TK was likely a lucky guess, but still not out of nowhere, given both his and pigs' association with gluttony. If I had to guess, next year if there's another rat skin, it'd be either for a yordle (rumble or gnar, most likely) or Neeko.
