The collection will be limited and includes among others a custom model change and new features.

Riot Games announced that they will be releasing a limited-edition Champions 2022 skin as a celebration of the upcoming Champions Istanbul 2022. The new skin is set to release on 23 August until 21 September with an in-game price of 6265 VP. The skin pack is a limited edition; thus, it won’t return to the Rotating Store or Night.Market. Additionally, 50% of net proceeds from the Champions 2022 Collection will go to participating teams

This year’s skin includes a custom model change and two new features as part of the Champion’s Aura: a visual effect that evolves every 5 kills (maxing out at 25 kills), and a special easter egg on the butterfly knife that triggers if you’re top fragging and have at least 25 kills.

Two weapons included in the pack are the Phantom and the Butterfly Knife. Along with the weapons, players will also get a Champions 2022 Gun Buddy, Player Card, and Spray.

Based on the notes from Riot Games, each weapon will have different effects and features with each level:
