Overview

Conclusion:
Sometimes not being truly human can have its disadvantages, just try to find clothes that fit right, but when you have a good wardrobe even a muzzle can be a fashion statement. This is the case with Alistar and Renekton as they offer very attractive skins at a tempting price.
Infernal Alistar is a heavily-armoured, hellish version of the minotaur that oozes style. It’s a nice concept with an adequate execution and while the new Pulverize particles aren’t enough to make it excel the skin does enough and quite well. It’s a good example of a well delivered concept and execution so even if unoriginal the skin remains appealing.
Galactic Renekton certainly isn’t a full re-model but it doesn’t need to. This futuristic re-interpretation of the Butcher has a distinct look that suits Renekton very well. His new gear not only gives him a new aspect but also a new feel that retains his rage-infused nature. Add the low price and there isn’t much to dislike.
Shadow Prince Malzahar garbs the Prophet in more regal clothing but the differences with his classic look stop there. The new colour scheme isn’t furthered by any additional changes and so a disparity with his abilities appears. Still, if you are content with nicely embroidered decorations the skin delivers but that’s as far as it goes.

Conclusion:
When the time comes to avoid IP farming Xerath rises to the occasion with his uncontainable power; for a certain amount of RP. He also has some nice skins but seeing as Scorched Earth Xerath has seen a good increase in price we are left with a bittersweet taste. A sale may also take a while so if you want to be prepared it’s a plausible purchase; though you may find enough IP among your savings by that time.
Finally, neither Morgana nor Fiddlesticks are worth purchasing as their IP prices are low enough to unlock without further expenses. Both have nice skins but as Blackthorn Morgana’s price was increased and Surprise Party Fiddlesticks is on permanent sale there isn’t much reason to rush.
