Skin Glitch/Exploit after 3.9 Patch Discussion

[NightmareOmega]

The exploit I'm referring to is one that was used by many people since as early as 2010(maybe earlier), yet was not fixed until around June 2013. The exploit allowed people to use any skin for a any champion(they owned) regardless of if they purchased the skin or not. This included and is not limited to; Pax TF,BlackAlistar,RustyBlitzcrank,RiotSinged,and King Rammus. The exploit could be performed as so

1.Start a normal or custom game
2.Pick a champion for a skin you own (UnchainedAlistar or RiotGirlTristana are the most common as they are free and easily obtainable) [Lets use Tristana for example with Riot Girl Tristana]
3.Decide on another champion who's skin you wish to use and load into the game with (Lets use Twisted Fate for example with Pax TF skin) [Make sure his default skin is selected before going any further]
4.After selecting a champion you own a skin for (Tristana) go to the skins tab and switch skins from the default to the skin you are using to perform the glitch (RiotGirlTristana) while it is getting the data and changing the skin,you can quickly click the champion tab and select the champion you wish to use the glitch for (Twisted Fate).
5.If you did this quick enough you between the skin switch,your client should freeze and you are unable to click anything(This means it worked and you should load into the game with Pax TF) Also NOTE:Resizing the client fixes this

After the above method was patched there was another exploit that got around this patch, this time with a new duo person method,which I will post below. Although more complicated it was proven to work on the 3.8 Patch.

Proven to work in this post

1. Select any champion that you have a skin for.
2. Perform the old skin glitch except you need to start on your skin and switch to the default.
3. Pick any new champion.
4. Have a friend who you're queing with pick the original champion you selected.
5. Go to the skins tab and select the skin for your original champion.
6. Your friend is now free to change his champion; that's it!

With the release of the 3.9 Patch the skin exploit was patched yet again, after searching countless hackforums,Reddit,youtube,even the bug report section on the official site,there seems to be
no new method in sight. Even going as far as to test new methods myself (you can still glitch the client and cause a freeze if you do it correctly,just make sure to unfreeze with resize) and working with
that and countless of combinations with champions that I own mutliple skins for or just one,and with switching to the default skin to Skin 1,and vise-versa to no avail.

With the information above I would like to bring life back into one of my favorite exploits, and hopefully be the first site to obtain a new method.

Extra Notes:
I'm fully aware of LoLSkins,and the script BoL uses,but that is client-side only,meaning that only you see the skin,nobody else.Although I'm still using it as a holdover until a new method is released =)

As far as I know there is no way to revert the client in any way to an older version, considering League would patch your directory each time.

If anyone discovers any new methods to replicate the skin exploit please list the steps below on how to reproduce it, it would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I assume this is the correct place to post it rather than Hacks/exploits section because this is not a release, but rather a discussion to enlighten people who might have not been familiar with the exploit.

Im Prinzip ist nur das hier wichtig.
Das oben drüber habt nur gezeigt, wie es vorher ging, was aber nun gefixt wurde.

1. Wähle einen Champion aus, mit dem du im Besitz eines Skins bist.
2. Jetzt musst du es wie beim alten Glitch machen, nur switcht du vom Skin zu default, anstelle von default zum skin.
3. Wähle einen anderen Champion aus.
4. Dein Pre-Mate wählt nun den Champion aus, den du zuerst gewählt hast.
5. Hast du einen neuen Champion ausgewählt, wechselst du zu dem Skin, an der Stelle auch dein bereits gekaufter Skin steht. (ID Check wahrscheinlich auch hier).
6. Dein Pre-Mate kann nun seinen gewünschten Champion auswählen.

Das was du gepostet hast ist auch gefixxt. Er fordert hier nur dazu auf, ihm dabei zu helfen einen neuen Glitch zu finden. Er postete die Dinge nur, damit Leute einen Anhaltspunkt hatten, wie es vorher ging.

That's a nice bug lol

Ok there is 100% another new skinbug. Someone in my game just used the new Sejuani skin (that you can already see in the client, but isn't available).

Too bad that I didnt watched if he did anything noticeable in the championselect. Lets keep searching

Did you get their name, at all.(ie.lolking yourself and find the game you were in with them) You could persuade them into telling you possibly

I doubt that a modified version of this bug could do the trick, because it is still possible to perform bug number 2, but the server checks now after the champ select if you actually own the skin. We might need to find something completly new
