Which Style of Champion Card Skin Do You Prefer: Unique or Already Established?

The first set of Champion card skins were the Cosmic and Dark Star skin for Riven, Yasuo, Shyvana, and Zed. These are unique to Legends of Runeterra, as such skins do not already exist in League.

Since then, however, we've only had skins that already exist as skins in League: Pool Party, "Sand", Sentinel, and Ruined (and Unbound Thresh). There's nothing inherently wrong with this, but it is true.

With "unique" skins, we got to see something completely new, which is exciting. There were people both here and in the League community saying that they'd want these skins added to League.

The Pool Party skins were particularly fun, as not only did they give us new art for familiar skins, most of them also included the Champions' Followers which added another level of enjoyment. Unfortunately, that idea hasn't really been explored since, as Champion card skins since then seem to focus solely the Champion.

​

So, which style do you prefer?

I'd say the Pool Party skins have been the best so far, as the inclusion of the Champions' Followers really help elevate the skins and make them feel more "alive". After that, the completely unique skins, as those provide us with something we've never seen before. Last would be the ones that are simply the Champions in skins that they have in League and not much else.
