I'm loving TFT! Ive been a long time League player up until about 5 years ago (grew out of the game) and now I'm back stronger than ever in this game mode. There's a lot of things I can say about the game good and bad but overall I'm satisfied, but there is oooonnnneeee thing.........

The one thing I would like to see in this game is our skins carry over on champs in TFT I don't know if its just me or this is already bee said but I think that would be awesome.

I agree. I've paid for Skins, this game is within the LoL client, we should have the option to show off what we have earned/purchased!

That won't happen.

Riot says they plan to use skins to create alternate origins/classes for the game, such that a different skin would indicate a different unit. You can see it currently with how it's Arclight Vayne opposed to base, or Bilgewater Graves and Captain MF.

I understand that for clarity's sake, it is better to stick to set skins for each champion.

That being said, I think we have several options that could be explored.

1- The skins could be visible ONLY to player choosing to acrivate them. Basically, while it is true that we buy skins to show off, I think that we still mainly buy them for ourselves.

2- A player could be able to chose if he wants to see other people's skins or not (like an in-game option in the menu).

The skins would be chosen randomnly within the pool of skins a player purchased on said champion (to keep it RNG style ^^).

This would be a cool implementation for TFT because, and this is now a strictly personal view, Little Legends don't feel worth buying. 35 euros for a random set of ten Little Legends doesn't feel rewarding while a skin certainly feels more like it because you CHOSE it.

My two cents ! =]

It has already been said, but you'll notice that Riot has repeatedly said No. The skins are needed for gameplay clarity. Almost all champions use their base skins - except for Vayne (Arclight), MF (Captain), Graves and TF soon (Cutpurse/Cutthroat). Why these skins for these champions? So the origin is clearly recognizable. Arclight Vayne looks more Noble than her base skin, same for Graves who wouldn't be seen as a Pirate by new players.
