Skin changes – Zed in an Championship theme. Specific in-game changes:

• Model: Brand new model and textures! (Sleek Championship armor and blades, ready to strike from the shadows.).
• New particles: All-new VFX! (Shurikens and shadows never looked so good.).
• New animations: New recall! (Championship Zed takes a break from the dullness of unworthy opponents.).

Skin bio & introduction: – Celebrating the 2016 World Championship in North America

History – These skins are given out during the World Finals in 2016 as a way to commemorate the epic battles that marked the season. They are also temporarily available in the store during and after Finals.

How to get this skin? – The skin is not available for purchase and has been placed in the Legacy Vault (they can still be mystery gifted, and only appear in a champion’s information tab if owned). The vault is usually opened for limited runs and this skin can then be purchased in the Riot Store. In my experience it can be rather long between each opening of the Legacy Vault, hang tight!

Worth buying? – Championship Zed is a Legacy vault skin — rarely available and not in the regular store. It includes custom particles, new animations. You can preview any skin for free on the PBE server before buying. Learn how to access the PBE here.
