Best Practices for Gifting Skins
Before you gift a skin, consider the recipient’s interests and preferences. Here are some guidelines:
• Know their favorite champion or region: Choose a skin for their favorite champion or a region you think they’ll appreciate.
• Limit to 1-2 high-end skins: High-end skins, like chroma boundaries or masterwork skins, are pricier and might not suit a beginner player.
• Customize the gift message: Add a funny comment or a heartfelt message to personalize the gift.
• Keep it legal: Ensure the recipient is on the list of allowed players to receive skins as gifts.
Gifting Restrictions
Before gifting, know these restrictions:
• Account linkages: You can only gift skins within account linkages (e.g., friends who have linked their accounts).
• Player suspensions: Gifting a skin to a suspended player could lead to further account restrictions.
