Riot is releasing a new skin line called La Ilusión for Patch 13.19
Halloween is about much more than tricks or treats, and League of Legends players are about to get a firsthand glimpse at how various cultures celebrate this holiday.
So far in 2023, we’ve seen Inkshadow, Street Demon, Soul Fighter, and many new skin line. With that said, Riot is releasing a new skin line called La Ilusión. The skin motif appears to be a nod to the Day of the Dead event, which has been held in Mexico and many other countries throughout history.
League of Legends La Ilusión skin line
Riot Games has deviated from the typical set of Halloween skins in League, this time introducing the new “La Ilusión” skin line, which has Renata Glasc, Ziggs, Draven, Qiyana, Gnar, and Nidalee engaging in post-death shenanigans.
This skin line is clearly inspired by the Mexican custom of Día de los muertos, as well as other festivals of the dead throughout other cultures, complete with colourful skulls and marigolds. Rather of mourning the deaths of others, these festivities honour their lives and the continuity of life even beyond death.
Renata Glasc also receives a Prestige version of her La Ilusión appearance in this new skin line, with the dark blues and violets of her dress and powers completely changed by golds and whites. Her abilities are still covered with flowery designs, but they now resemble the rich yellow associated with marigolds.
