On September 20, 2022, League of Legends provided fans with the first official look at the skins that are set to arrive with the Spirit Blossom 2022 event.

As a commemoration of Worlds 2022, Spirit Blossom 2022 is expected to be one of the game's biggest events of the year.

Nine champions will be getting new skins, while a total of 10 skins will be released. Champions like Syndra, Soraka, Sett, Aphelios, Master Yi, Tristana, Yorick, Evelynn, and Darius are all receiving new skins.

All the Spirit Blossom skins are available to try out on the League of Legends PBE. They will be released along with patch 12.19, which is set to arrive on October 5, 2022.

Many fans are impressed by the quality of the upcoming skins and have taken to social media to praise Riot Games for their efforts.

Over the last few years, Riot Games has received a lot of criticism when it comes to skins. The last time fans were this happy about skins in League of Legends was back in 2020, when the first iteration of Spirit Blossom was released.

Big events like Sentinels of Light in 2021 and Star Guardian in 2022 received a lot of backlash from fans for their themed skins. Many players felt that the skins lacked passion and were simply a way for the developers to make quick money.

Even the latest Ashen Knight Sylas and Ashen Knight Pantheon skins were heavily criticized.

So when Spirit Blossom 2022 was announced, fans were worried that the skins in the event would be disappointing once again. Fortunately, players found the skins to be amazing. Many felt that their design, color palette, and aesthetics are in line with the Spirit Blossom theme.
