So, I decided to do a list with all the Skins that have directly or indirectly relation to the lore. (WARNING: If you disagree or you think that I missed something, please tell me in the comments below ^_^. Also, a lot of these skins have relation to Alternative Universes eg: Project)

Lets begin!

  • Mecha Aatrox: Mecha,PROJECT,Program and Super Mecha skins share the same universe (speculation).
  • Arcade Ahri: Arcade is a theme that is based on an Alternative Universe, it is a goofier and a full of references variant of Champions!
  • Blood Moon Akali: Akali with that sexy Ionian outfit , she wore it with Shen to represent a theatrical play during the Festival of Fire!
  • Unchained Alistar: Possibly Alistar before being captured by the Noxian scums!

Considering you also include Alternate continuity lore you could write about EVERY skin in the game.

There is a diference between "Based on lore" and "Alternative Universe that may or may not be confirmed"

The only ones that are actually canon are: Justicar Aatrox Blood Moon Akali / Nurse Akali if we count the old JoJ Unchained Alistar... Maybe, not confirmed Queen Ashe Captain Gangplank Cutthroaat Graves Iron Solari Leona... maybe... i mean... the Iron Solari exist in the game if we count that there is an item. Blood Moon Shen Captain Fortune Spellthief Lux Exiled Morgana Pre-Void Kassadin Unmasked Kayle Young Ryze Blood Moon Shen Tyrant Swain King Tryndamere Cutpurse Twisted Fate Prototype Viktor

Traditional Sejuani may be canon... but i doubt that her boar changed that much, because its supposed to be the same boar.

PS: "Pentakill Mordekasier: Karthus recruited him so he can bless our ears with that sweet Metal Music!" WHAT? Mordekaiser and Sona are the FOUNDERS of the Pentakill Band... Why do you think that their symbol is the helm of Morde?

PS2: Demonblade Tryndamere is supposed to be a character from a horror film and is not conected with Aatrox at all.

the Arcade skins, Final Boss Veigar and Battle Boss Corki aren't based on lore, it's just a parallel universe where champions like the play video games

DJ Sona - this is a parallel universe version of Sona where she's a disc jockey
