2022 update

As of now all of the skins mentioned below can no longer be obtained by following Riot Games on their fanpages. All skins have been retired and you can no longer obtain them. If you want to learn more about legacy skins we have a special article about that

However, did you know that it was possible to get several free League of Legends skins and champions in game?

We know it might sound like a scam but believe it or not, there were actually ways to get League of Legends free skins and champions by following some simple steps. From liking a Facebook page to subscribing to a YouTube channel, these free skins and champions are so easy to get you’d be mad not to get them.

With RP costing anything from $10 to even $100, these skins are a great way to save you some money.

Which Free League of Legends Skins and Champions Can You Get?

Riot Girl Tristana - Facebook

The first free League of Legends skin and champion that could be obtained is Tristana, or more specifically Riot Girl Tristana. To obtain this free skin and champion simply visit the official League of Legends Facebook page for your server region and like the page. Once the page has been liked follow the instructions on screen to link your account and claim your free champion and skin.

The Riot Girl Tristana skin features Tristana with a brand-new boomer and outfit. Based on a cosplay outfit, she’s completely changed her color scheme to her new favourite color, pink. Her boomer has also had an update and features a new yellow smiley face on the side. After all, if it’s the last thing you’re going to see before you die, at least it’s a smiley face!

Compared to the default Tristana skin, Riot Girl Tristana brings lots of color to summoner's rift and with it only taking a few simple clicks to redeem it, what are you waiting for?

Unchained Alistar - YouTube

Another free League of Legends skin & champion you can unlock is Unchained Alistar. Redeemed by subscribing to the official League of Legends YouTube channel, you can have Unchained Alistar in a few simple steps. Since most of the Unchained Alistar redemption links have for some reason expired, you might need to open a new support ticket with Riot in order to redeem the skin to your account.

Out of all the skins this might be one of the hardest to redeem, but a free skin is a free skin!

Dreadknight Garen - Twitter

One of the not so well known free League of Legends skins and champion is the Dreadknight Garen. Obtained by following the official League of Legends page on Twitter, it only takes a few clicks to get both the skin and champion redeemed to your account.

Inspired by Death Knights from the World of Warcraft franchise, the skin features Garen in a set of new dark armor which gives him an entirely different compared to his default skin. You could say that he’s gone over to the dark side!

If you really like this Dreadknight theme then you’ll be pleased to know he also shares it with Dreadknight Nasus and the two make a menacing duo.

Hextech Annie - In Game Craft

The final free League of Legends skin available in game is Hextech Annie. Available from Hextech crafting, players must collect 10 Gemstones from opening chests in order to unlock Hextech Annie.

With chests and keys costing 125 RP EACH, even buying 15,000 RP for $100 wouldn't guarantee you unlocking her.

Although this is an awesome skin it's likely to take you YEARS if you want to get it for free.

Quick Note

If for whatever reason you’ve followed the steps and still haven't received your free skin and champion then don’t worry! Sometimes Riot needs to confirm something on their end in order for you to receive it. If you haven’t received your free League of Legends skins and champions after a few minutes, then it’s best to open up a support ticket and let them look into it.

Past Free League of Legends Skins and Champions

Over the years there have been plenty of free skins and champions that Riot have released. Unfortunately, not all of them are still available today, and some have been disabled. Here are some of the free skins and champions which are no longer available.

Commando Garen

Originally only available to the Latin America region, Commando Garen was redeemed by following the instructions on their Facebook page. Today it is no longer available and has been changed to Riot Girl Tristana. If you did manage to redeem this skin when it was available then good job! It’s highly unlikely you’ll be able to redeem this again in the future.

Bandit Sivir

Bandit Sivir was a free redeemable skin that was only available to players in the Turkey region. To redeem this skin, players had to visit the Turkish Facebook page and follow the instructions to get the skin. Unfortunately, this offer is no longer available and the Facebook link for the offer has been removed.

Available to the Brazilian region only, Woad Ashe was a free redeemable skin that was available through the Brazilian Facebook page. Like the currently Riot Girl Tristana skin, users had to visit the Facebook page and follow the on-screen instructions in order to redeem it. As of today, this offer is no longer available and there is no indication that it will be returning.
