Conclusion:
This week we have a couple of interesting skins and a peculiar even if distinct option. Let’s give them a look.
Sandscourge Skarner is a fantastic interpretation of a sand scorpion that is simply great looking. His classic base is visible and the blue particles aren’t that well incorporated into the style. However, the model changes make a great job at realizing the concept. All in all, this is one of Skarner’s best skins and a great option for arachnid fans.
Bioforge Darius is a skin with a rather polarized style that is able to disappoint and amaze depending on context. Usually, the aspect is interesting but seems dull due to the mute textures. Yet, when an ability is used the suit comes to life and makes a nice spectacle along with the particles. If you don’t mind the skin’s issues it offers a rather novel feature.
Giant Enemy Crabgot is a skin with a very particular aesthetic that doesn’t end as a very appealing choice. It’s a skin with a very specific charm but for most the mix of shell and flesh won’t be that great. If you like crabs it can be a skin for your but it’s hardly the best option.

Conclusion:
To avoid a good deal of IP then some draconic assistance is the best option this week. Shyvana is the choice to complete a champion roster but all of her skins have been discounted this year. While Darkflame was on sale at the very beginning, and so it could return, Ice Drake will still take a while.
Galio can also be an interesting option if you don’t gather much IP regularly. Nevertheless, all of his skins have already been on sale this year. Therefore, unless you’d like a quick way to get a Gatekeeper there isn’t much reason to purchase him.
Lastly, Sona’s reasonable IP price makes a purchase less than ideal. In fact, it would be better to reserve RP for her many nice skins. Unfortunately, all of her skins have been already on sale. Thus, unless you really need a supportive musician there’s no rush.
