Faker’s Ahri skin update: a new trophy
As you can see from the old recall, four trophies around Ahri appeared, representing the four times Faker won a LoL Worlds championship: 2013, 2015, 2016, and 2023.
However, due to the new title acquired last year, Riot Games' team decided to update the skin with a fifth trophy. Faker’s skin will now be more accurate about the international achievements of the Korean mid-laner.
A new star on the loading screen
Another update came to the Faker’s Ahri skin-loading screen card. At the bottom, we could see four stars - representing the Worlds titles as well - but now you’ll see five stars.
There is still no information about possible new updates if Faker wins the championship again in 2025’s edition. A fan even wrote onX: “Imagine Faker just keeps on winning and the skin gets cluttered with trophies during recalls that you can barely see the model”.

The beauty and the beast

On the other side, some fans thanked Riot for the update since it’s important to maintain the skin and compensate for the money people bought it for. “This is actually a good thing from Riot.
