iBlitzcrank – the skin that was ‘permanently banned’ from professional competition suddenly reappeared in several tournaments, confusing the League of Legends community.
As you all know, the normal skins of champions in League of Legends are only for beauty purposes, only changing in terms of effects and animations, but the skills and power of the champion do not change. However, there are a few ‘pay to win’ skins discovered by the gaming community, their animation effects bring a lot of ‘interference’ elements to their matches.
Specifically, the visual effects from these skins cause a huge disadvantage to the opponent, making the user’s ability to win higher than usual. As a result, these skins may have been ‘banned’ in the pro league.
In total, the above skins include rare skins such as Alistar Black, Kayle Silver or Childhood Ryze, or costumes that have difficult-to-see and difficult-to-recognize skill effects such as Varus Quang Tien, Syndra Justice, Black Flame Shyvana…

There are about 10% of skins banned in professional tournaments (according to the LoL community statistics). However, recently, the iBlitzcrank skin – a skin that is said to have a pay to win element suddenly appeared in the professional tournament, making players extremely surprised. At LPL Spring 2023, that match took place between two teams, Ninjas in Pajamas and Invictus Gaming. It was Wink who used this skin and created extremely ‘virtual lazada’ pulls, even there are phases that even drag ‘through the soldiers’, making the opponent unable to keep up.
With the iBlitzcrank skin, iG Wink creates extreme virtual drag situations.
Immediately after the LPL posted this highlight, the League of Legends gaming community immediately realized that this Blitzcrank skin has a problem, and the question is, why is this banned skin usable? Not long ago, a similar case was that the Zodiac player from MGN Box Esports used this skin at the VCS 2023 Breaking Dawn.
Before the appearance of the iBlitzcrank skin, the international fan community couldn’t help but wonder.
Currently, Riot Games and the tournament organizers have not had any feedback on this, and do not know whether the implicit law “banning skins” still exists, or is an unnecessary mistake on the part of the referee team. when not knowing the player using these banned skins.
