How to install custom skins in League of Legends with RAF Manager

 Introduction to RAF Manager
RAF Manager is an application which permits users to modify the League of Legends Client’s resource files, which are contained in RAF Archives (Riot Archive Format Archives). This permits users to modify the appearance of their client, through means such as changing the texture files of characters, which defines what the character’s coloring looks like. Other things you can do include changing the colors of minions, their colors on the minimap, changing the visual appearance of the HUD, changing the text displayed by the game, and so on and so forth. In other words, RAF Manager lets you do a lot =)

While there is no red post in this thread, I have spoken to multiple rioters about the application, and it is in no way something which they seem to want to clamp down on any time soon =) The use of RAF Manager is not a ban-able offense (nor can it be easily detected by the client).

Installing RAF Manager
Installing RAF Manager is as simple as downloading its executable + other files associated with it.
Simply go to http://www.ItzWarty.com/RAF/ and download the RAF Manager binaries. RAF Manager is guaranteed clean (Imagine the trouble I’d be in if it wasn’t!)

Important Note:
For some clients (Presumably those who have UAC on) RAF Manager won’t run properly. For example, the user
will not have pack operations working properly.

To remedy this, go to the League of Legends folder, right click it->Security->Advanced (button) ->Owner->Edit
Take ownership of the League of Legends directory… or the Riot Games directory. Also, try to run RAF Manager as an administrator.

 How to use RAF Manager:

 

 How to Uninstall Skins with RAF Manager:
1) Start RAF Manager
2) Open your previous project, or just create a new one and put your skins in.
3) Uncheck the checkboxes for the skins you want to uninstall
4) File->Pack

Diana, Scorn of the Moon, Revealed

The tide of battle is turning, summoners. With ceaseless aggression, powered and protected by the lunar light, Diana, Scorn of the Moon, controls and chases her enemies through the battlefield, leaving them no sunlight for solace.

Diana’s high area of effect damage and defensive abilities make her an ideal jungler. Pale Cascade creates three orbiting spheres that detonate and deal damage to any enemy that comes close, while protecting her with a shield that absorbs any incoming damage. If all three orbs are detonated, the shield effect is refreshed, allowing her to absorb even more punishment. This destructive shield, combined with a cleaving attack from her passive, Moonsilver Blade, helps her deal out significant damage to multiple targets as she quickly tears through jungle camps.

Drawing power from the moon, Diana’s kit revolves around her use of Moonlight to prep her enemies for an incoming attack. The breakneck pace of Diana’s gameplay and her relentless chasing potential are driven by the interplay between Crescent Strike and her ultimate ability, Lunar Rush. A unique curved skillshot, Crescent Strike unleashes lunar energy in an arc, damaging any enemies in its path and simultaneously afflicting them with Moonlight. Casting Lunar Rush to teleport to an enemy afflicted by Moonlight will reset the ability cooldown while consuming all active Moonlight debuffs. Judicious use of Moonlight combined with accurate casts of Crescent Strike gives Diana incredible mobility and sustained damage throughout a long fight. While using Lunar Rush only in combination with Moonlight will give Diana the highest damage output over time, you may make a judgment call and accept the longer cooldown to either directly rush a vulnerable target or double tap a Moonlight afflicted enemy for heavy burst damage.

Diana’s kit really comes together in a team fight. After initiating with Crescent Strike and Lunar Rush, she can follow up with Moonfall, drawing in and slowing all nearby enemies, holding them in range for Moonsilver Blade and Pale Cascade until Crescent Strike is ready again. The added durability of her shield helps her survive heavy damage, while the mobility of a Moonlight-enhanced ultimate helps her pursue and assassinate high-value targets. With the complex interplay of her abilities, Diana’s got the potential to control the jungle while executing quick ganks and threatening enemies in team fights.

Abilities:

  • Moonsilver Blade (Passive): Diana has increased Attack Speed. Every third strike cleaves nearby enemies for additional magic damage.
  • Crescent Strike: Diana swings her blade to unleash a bolt of lunar energy, afflicting enemies with Moonlight and dealing damage in an arc before exploding.
  • Pale Cascade: Diana creates three orbiting spheres that detonate on contact with enemies to deal damage in an area. She also gains a temporary shield that absorbs damage. This shield is refreshed if all three spheres detonate.
  • Moonfall: Diana draws in and slows all nearby enemies.
  • Lunar Rush (Ultimate): Diana teleports to an enemy and deals magic damage. Lunar Rush has no cooldown when used to teleport to a target afflicted with Moonlight.

Champion Sneak Peek – Diana, the Scorn of the Moon

Not all creatures of the night are the sort that lurk in the shadows. A select few leap headlong into the fray, leaving enemies begging for sunshine. Shunned by the people of the sun, Diana turned in isolation to the cold power of the moon’s glow. She hurls herself into the heat of the fight, wielding her crescent blade and unleashing lunar energy with merciless ferocity. If you’re awed by the darkness of the night, but never one to hide in the shadows, you’re sure to be drawn to this knight of the moon and her relentless pursuit of vengeance.
