Skins just make you look cooler (or worse if it's just a bad skin) and if anything, make your teammates slightly more confident in your skills on the champion (useful to keep people from bitching about it being a non-meta/strong pick)
Otherwise there is not much you can argue.
As for the video Ani linked, i had seen that but honestly i was debating if what he was saying was completely backwards, he mostly says that champs with bigger looking animations have a buff regardless of the hit box being the same, there is no actual logic in this because that would mean that people are more likely to move MORE out of the skillshot, if anything you want skills that are smaller then the actual hit box.
Returning win rate: 4/1, 80%
In the process of creating a game to mod, we will see what it holds.

Well, it COULD force a flash off a miss...espcially fizz ult, but i ultimately think all of that is too minuscule to really be pay to win. Literally I only have a problem with Steel Legion lux cause he moves are harder to see by a significant margin, everything else(with the exception of possibly that annie skin, cause I have had that happen to mebefore) i'm not buying in to because the advantage is too small.

I played the most boring game yesterday
Nasus vs Cho top
Udyr vs Diana jungle
Velkoz vs Morgana mid
Alistar vs Soraka bot
ADC. Idec.
the lanes lasted 30mins
panth and tf forgot to trade and tf dc'd for the first 15 minutes of the game
anivia and I were both like 5/0 coming out of laning phase because lux/trist/blitz were goddamn horrible
then teemo happens
and shyvana loves being chased instead of fighting so she dives into the enemy team just to ult out and lead them on a chase through the jungle
WHICH WON'T WORK WITH LUX, TF, PANTHEON, AND BLITZ
and wouldn't listen
i've seen some messed up things in ranked and by far this surpasses anything

Sona e slow shows regardless of skin because THEY ARE SLOWED even if we ignore the giant purple soundwave that she shoots with the auto, hecarim speed progression shows regardless of skin (because he moves faster, and the model of his run is different even in the classic skin) and q stacks can be counted / are visible at the bottom of the screen.
I'm pretty sure there's a difference between a classic skin that only shows stacks at the bottom, and a skin that shows the stacks and at the bottom, AND on the color difference of the character. I'm also there's a difference between a classic skin that only shows how fast you are going, to a skin that actually shows your progression in the speed. Hecarims E basically has 3 speed stages, Arcade hecarim drops little speed bars on the ground proportionate to how fast he is going. So if you just pressed E, it would be one speed bar. At the end of his E, its three speed bars. It helps you realize just how fast you are going? I am not saying Arcade Hecarim makes you a better Hecarim player or gives you an advantage, I am just saying it gives you certain visual queues that can be very convenient, that aren't present in the classic skin.
I mean, Rumble flares up when at full heat. People would notice if this didn't happen in his classic skin, but it did in a different skin?
I swear I'm trying my best

idk how you can miss this
it's characterized by a red full heat bar and an annoying ass sound effect as well as a small "x" above his head

is my memory fuzzy or is this year's world championships a lot later? I need to start playing again at some point so that I can pretend to know what's going on.
