All Academy Skins in League of Legends, Ranked

The Academy skin line in League of Legends takes your favorite champions and drops them into a high school anime-style setting—complete with uniforms, teen drama, and classroom chaos. Whether they’re rebellious students, strict teachers, or straight-up delinquents, each champ gets a fun, fresh look that doesn’t take itself too seriously. In this article, we’ll break down all the Academy skins and what makes each one feel like it belongs in a wild, action-packed school day on the Rift.

#6: Academy Vladimir

Release date: August 27, 2015
Price: 750 RP

Academy Vladimir gives him a smug, school troublemaker look with a red uniform and way too much attitude. He doesn’t get fancy effects or new animations—it’s a budget skin—but the vibe is strong. He looks like the guy who skips class, charms teachers, and still somehow runs the school. If you like Vladimir with a modern, edgy twist, this one’s a fun pick for the price.

#5: Academy Ekko

Release date: August 27, 2015
Price: 750 RP

Academy Ekko gives off strong “too smart for class” energy. He’s rocking a school uniform with his own twist—hoodie, loose tie, and a look like he’s always late but still top of the class. It’s a budget skin, so no new effects or sounds, just a fun alt style. If you want Ekko to feel like the genius rebel of a school anime, this skin totally fits the part.

#4: Academy Darius

Release date: August 26, 2015
Price: 750 RP

Academy Darius drops the Noxian general act and goes full high school delinquent. He’s rocking a red varsity jacket, blue spiky hair, and his axe is swapped out for a giant wooden bat—because of course it is. It’s a simple skin with no extra effects, but the style is solid. If you want Darius to feel like the guy who runs the hallways and dunks on people after school, this one’s a fun pick.

#3: Academy Ahri

Release date: August 27, 2015
Price: 750 RP

Academy Ahri trades in the mystical vibes for a clean schoolgirl look. She’s got the full uniform—skirt, tie, high socks—and her tails have a softer, more natural color that fits the theme. There are no new effects or sounds, but it’s a solid, stylish skin for the price. If you want Ahri to look like the top student with just a bit of attitude, this one gets the job done.

#2: Headmistress Fiora

Release date: October 26, 2012
Price: 975 RP (Legacy)

Headmistress Fiora ditches the duelist look and steps in as the no-nonsense teacher you don’t mess with. She’s rocking a sharp outfit, glasses, and her rapier is swapped for a giant ruler—which is both hilarious and totally fitting. The skin has a clean, disciplined vibe with a few fun touches, like that signature ruler crack when she taunts. If you want Fiora to look like she runs the school with pure precision, this one’s perfect.

#1: Professor Ryze

Release date: October 5, 2010
Price: 975 RP (Legacy)

Professor Ryze is an old-school classic that turns him into a grumpy magic professor with books in hand and a tweed jacket to match. Instead of his usual scroll, he’s rocking a big leather-bound tome, and his whole vibe is straight out of a magical university lecture hall. It’s a simple skin with no flashy effects, but it’s got charm. If you want Ryze to look like he’s about to give a lecture and then drop a rune combo on your face, this skin is a fun throwback.

Conclusion

The Academy skin line is one of the most fun and playful themes in League of Legends. Whether it’s Ryze as a grumpy professor, Fiora as a strict headmistress, or champs like Ekko, Ahri, and Darius showing up as rowdy students, every skin brings school-life energy with a League twist. Some are goofy, others a bit edgy, but all of them have personality. If you’re into anime vibes, schoolyard drama, or just want your favorite champion in a fresh, lighthearted look, the Academy skins are a solid pick.
