What are the best skins if you want to pay homage to the World Cup on the Rift
One of the earlier football skins, Striker Ezreal has looked very well after its 2018 visual update. Its crisp white and blue scheme is easy to make out in a teamfight and while it does not come with a lot of bells and whistles, it still looks good on the prodigal explorer (© Riot Games)
Striker Katarina may be handing red cards around, but that doesn’t mean she’s left her signature daggers at home either. Her uniform might not be up to regulations, but this is a Red Card Katarinayou don’t want to mess with. A pity her ultimate doesn’t have her throwing out red cards - perhaps Riot will look into this for the next update? (© Riot Games)
There are many way to protect the enemy team from scoring, but putting the goal on top of a massive treant is definitely an imaginative one.

The blind monk has been an expert kicker in all his incarnations, but never as good as this time. From his football Q to the whistle effect on his passive, this is a very entertaining skin and one we heartily recommend. (© Riot Games)
Don’t let the football markings on his shell fool you, Sweeper Rammus means business. Whether curling up into a ball and zooming towards the goal (or the first champion on his way) or an ultimate effect that sends the pitch grass flying, this is our favorite skin of the lot - and more than just okay!

From goalkeepers to strikers to referees and of course the fans, all parts of the game are represented (except maybe FIFA, probably for the best). After careful deliberation and a lot of absolutely subjective choices, here are our top 5.
