Since its release on 2012-12-07, this Common tier skin has become a popular pick among players who want to make their Nami stand out from the crowd.

What Makes This Skin Special

Let's talk about what makes Koi Nami worth your RP. At 975 RP, you're getting a relatively cheap skin with decent quality visuals, sometimes even some new animations or effects.

Here's what you get with Koi Nami: ✓ Brand new visual effects that add serious flair to your abilities ✓ Fresh animations that make Nami move in new, thematic ways ✓ A custom recall animation that's worth showing off before you head back to base

If one look isn't enough for you, Koi Nami comes with 3 different chroma options. That means once you own the base skin, you can pick up these color variants to match your mood or your team comp. Some players collect them all, while others just grab their favorite color.

One thing to keep in mind: this skin is available through the loot system. So if you're the type to save your RP, you might get lucky with a hextech chest or event orb. But don't count on it - if you really want this skin, buying it directly is your best bet.

Who made Koi Nami?

Ever wonder who's responsible for making these skins? We'll break it down for you:

When you hear Koi Nami in game, you're listening to the work of voice actor Cassandra Lee Morris, who brings real personality to the lines.

That splash art that caught your eye? It came from the tablet of Michelle Hoefener, one of Riot's talented artists who really captured the essence of Koi Nami.
