All-Star Event 2016: how the icons, sales and mystery gifting work

Bundles, special recalls and mystery gifting bonuses - oh my!

By Julia Lee

The yearly All-Star event means that some cool in-game loot is out to spice up your games! If you’re a little lost, don’t worry - we’re here to help you (as usual.)

How much are the icons?

The Team Fire and Team Ice icons are 250 RP each.

There is also the base All-Stars icon, which you can unlock for 1 IP. If you voted for players to participate in All-Stars, you were already gifted this icon.

What do they do?

The base icon does nothing (other than making you look cool) but the team-specific icons give you special recall animations if you play a game with them equipped, similarly to how the Worlds icons did.

Equipping the icons will also give you a special All-Stars background in the beta client.

What sales are there?

Oh, boy. As usual, there will be bundles for each team - a blazing Team Fire bundle and a cool Team Ice bundle. Both bundles package everything up for 50 percent off.

The Team Fire bundle is 7570 RP (13164 RP if you need the champs) and it contains:

  • Foxfire Ahri
  • Infernal Alistar
  • Infernal Diana
  • Shadowfire Kindred
  • Obsidian Malphite
  • Charred Maokai
  • Phoenix Quinn
  • Molten Rammus
  • Scorched Earth Renekton
  • Firefang Warwick
  • Volcanic Wukong
  • Scorched Earth Xerath
  • Wildfire Zyra
  • Firecracker Jinx

The Team Ice bundle is 6345 RP (10724 RP if you need the champs) and has:

  • Frosted Ezreal
  • Freljord Ashe
  • Frostblade Irelia
  • Frost Queen Janna
  • Frostfire Annie
  • Frozen Shen
  • Arctic Warfare Caitlyn
  • Blackfrost Anivia
  • Arctic Ops Kennen
  • Snow Bunny Nidalee
  • Ice Drake Shyvana
  • Freljord Tailyah

So if you want to drop a Benjamin (that’s US currency) on skins, now is the time.

Is there a mystery gifting thing happening?

Yep! Anytime there is a pentakill or Baron steal, chances to get a legendary or esports skin will be doubled (up to 4 times.) Since the 1v1 tourney is a big part of the event, if the 1v1 ends before minions get to lane, the mystery gift bonus will also be triggered!

All-Stars starts on Thursday at 10:10 a.m. EST with the EU vs NA match, so make sure to tune in and watch!
