So, canon skins are a thing now

With Frosted Ezreal is shaping up to be canonical skin, can we get skin universe sorted by canon? Would be cool if Explorer Ezreal was canon too, there is nothing suggesting its in an alternative universe.

Canon skins I believe are Young Ryze, Traditional Sejuani, Spirit Guard Udyr, Exiled Morgana, Unmasked Kayle (for now at least). And many more I can't think of right now.

Pre-Void Kassadin would probably be one.

I remember a dev suggesting skins like that of Young Ryze aren't legitimately canonical to the prime lore, that those skins are still adaptions of 'what if' scenarios.

So a skin like Prototype Viktor is just an idea of what early Viktor might look like rather than a true example of what he actually looked like. I imagine the same generally applies to Freljord Ezreal and what not.

I suppose however, now that every skin insists on having some flavour text that can blur the idea if certain skins are meant to be part of "prime canon" or not. I'd say it doesn't count until the skin is accurately described in a feature story or even canon concept art.

Would Haunted Maokai or Charred Maokai be more canon?

I see all skins as canon in their own universes.

Would Void Fizz count? I mean, obviously it's unlikely that he WOULD ever get corrupted by the Void in the lore, but it does sort of existence as a "what-if" scenario in the main universe.
