Do skins change how we play our characters?

I just saw this extra credits episode, and I wonder if something like this happens in LOL. Does anyone else change how they play the game even a little based on the skins they picked out for that match?

Used to be a Kennen one trick, when there were 5 skins I had one for each role :P

I run after people once I've gotten 2 stacks of Acquired Taste on them with Kench in Master Chef, because he runs carrying a meat cleaver and chef knife and I find it hilarious.

I also actively try to tilt other players by laughing when I'm Nunubot.

I tend to play stealthier than usual when playing Omega Squad Teemo

I know I tned to target enemy champions within the same skinline as me.

Example is when the Project Skins came out. I was never really good with Yasuo, but I somehow became "pro" the moment I saw a Project Fiora. Of course, this was also during Aram.

Happened again in another game, and I chased down the enemy Lucian as Leona.

I notice that the champs are clothed in matching getups to what they should do. Darius &Garen, heavily, but not too much, armored while wielding giant cutting tools. Their job is to march at you and take you down. Leblanc & Janna? Insubstantial clothing that goes with their high mobility(flying with Janna, sudden disappearances with LeBlanc.) Lissandra outfit is hard edged and pointy, like her ice, while Taliyah's robs are both smooth and flowy, with occasional hard edges, like how she molds the earth into alternating smoothness(while gathering it) and pointy(when she uses them to attack).

As for skins, I seem to be willing to (intentionally) summon more e plants on Haunted Zyra then with the normal skin.(Not to mention I like that skin best)

when I play lunar goddess Diana I feel very graceful and relaxed and play more safe, but when I play dark valkyrie Diana I go into killing machine mode and try to get as many kills as possible and OBLITERATE everything!

So far I haven't noticed something like that in LoL, only in other games.
