Criteria Going Into Choosing The Champion For Victorious Skin
In League of Legends, a champion receives a Victorious skin based on their performance during the ranked season. The specific criteria for a champion to get a Victorious skin typically include:
- Availability: The champion must have been available to play during the ranked season in question.
- Impact: The champion should have made a significant impact on the game during that season. This could be measured in terms of their pick rate, ban rate, win rate, or overall popularity in ranked games.
- Balanced Gameplay: Riot Games aims to select champions that are well-balanced and not considered overpowered or underpowered at the time.
- Skill Expression: Champions with a higher skill expression or a unique playstyle are often favored for Victorious skins, as they showcase the skill and dedication of the players who achieved high ranks with them.
- Contribution to Competitive Play: If a champion was frequently picked or had a significant presence in professional esports during the season, they may also be considered for a Victorious skin.
It's important to note that Riot Games makes the final decision on which champion receives a Victorious skin for each season, and they may consider additional factors beyond these criteria.
