After a break for the holidays, League of Legends is back on track with Season 12.
The first batch of skins for the new year have already landed on the PBE, and Riot is kicking right into high gear, releasing 15 new skins with several designed to celebrate the New Lunar Year (Chinese New Year).
These 15 skins will be divided into new additions for three series. First, Firecracker and Porcelain skins will celebrate the Lunar Year. Then Crystal Rose/Withered Rose skins will celebrate an annual festival in Runeterra.
Here are the new skins coming to League of Legends soon, skins that may just make the cut for LoL patch 12.2.
