Everything You Need to Know About Young Ryze

The Basics

Looking to spice up your games with a killer new look for Ryze? Let's dive into everything you need to know about Young Ryze, a unique skin for Ryze. This skin is all about giving your favorite champion a fresh new look!

Quick Facts

Price: Special Availability

Released: 2009-07-17

Rarity: Common

Available: Limited

Since its release on 2009-07-17, this Common tier skin has become an extremely rare sight on the Rift. If you spot someone rocking this skin, you know they're either a long-time player or incredibly lucky.

What Makes This Skin Special

Let's talk about what makes Young Ryze worth your RP. This isn't your standard RP purchase - it's part of a special promotion or event, making it a bit more exclusive than your typical skin. It might be available exclusively through a battlepass, gacha systems (The Sanctum), or something else.

Here's what you get with Young Ryze: While this skin doesn't add new effects or animations, it offers a visual redesign that gives Ryze a fresh look on the Rift.

Unlike some skins that come with a rainbow of chromas, Young Ryze keeps it focused with just the base design. So sadly, no chroma options here.

One thing to keep in mind: this skin is not available through the loot system. That means you won't find it in hextech chests or event orbs, so direct purchase is your only option if you want to add it to your collection.

Who made Young Ryze?

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

When you hear Young Ryze in game, you're listening to the work of voice actor Dave B. Mitchell, who brings real personality to the lines.

Riot hasn't revealed who created the splash art for Young Ryze, but we can appreciate the effort that went into it regardless. This could mean the splash art of Young Ryze was created by Riot's internal team, or perhaps still a freelance artist that hasn't been revealed yet.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get Young Ryze if it's not in the store?

Young Ryze is a special skin that can't be purchased directly with RP. Instead, you need to obtain it through special events or promotions. This might include The Sanctum (gacha system), Battle Pass progression, watching esports, or limited-time promotions. Since it's a limited-access skin, check the League client news for the specific method currently available.

Can I gift Young Ryze to a friend?

No, Young Ryze cannot be gifted directly to friends. Since it's a special skin obtained through alternative means (like Battle Pass, The Sanctum, or other events) rather than direct RP purchase, there is no gifting option available. Your friend will need to participate in the event or promotion to obtain it themselves.

How does Young Ryze compare to other Ryze skins?

Young Ryze is a special skin that can't be directly purchased with RP, making it more exclusive than standard Ryze skins. These special skins often have production quality comparable to higher-tier skins (1350 RP+) with unique thematic elements. For a detailed comparison with all other Ryze skins, check out our Ryze page that lists all skins.

What's the best way to get Young Ryze?

The most efficient way to obtain Young Ryze depends on its specific acquisition method. For Battle Pass skins, purchase the pass early and complete missions consistently. For Sanctum skins, use the free orbs first, then strategically purchase additional orbs if needed. For event-specific skins, check the event details in the League client for the most efficient path. Sometimes these special skins reappear in future events, but there's no guarantee, so it's best to grab them when initially available.
