PAX Twisted Fate is the rarest skin in the game. The skin was given out at one of League of Legends very first conventions, during the time that it was not yet popular. So only a few people who attended the game actually has the code for this skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

JINX<\/h2>\n

Ever wonder where Jinx got her weird dance moves? Well, Youtube Gamer ZenofireX has figured it out by creating a side by side comparison that shows Jake from Adventure Time and Jinx dancing to the beat of the same drummer. Who knew?<\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone knows that Braum has a special place in the hearts of Poros, League of Legends most-loved creatures.
