Overview
La Llorona visits us this weekend but she doesn’t come alone. Her most recent victims also follow her, unable to break the tethers that restrain them. She would surely advise a brief look so let’s do that and make ourselves promptly scarce.

Conclusion:
Interpreting the legend of La Llorona, Ghost Bride Morgana clearly displays the look of a bride. Unfortunately, the ethereal side of the equation isn’t well developed. Still, there’s an ample amount of work on the skin which makes it quite a good option for the Fallen Angel.
Being a member of a special team is usually an interesting idea so Crimson Elite Talon has a good concept behind it. The problem is that the execution doesn’t realize the full potential of the premise. The appearance has its charm but also seems underdeveloped so it might be an option better left for fans.
As a tribute to an American icon Statue of Karthus has a clear direction but also limited international appeal. Besides, the skin doesn’t manage an aspect that impresses. Ultimately, it’s a straightforward skin that won’t appeal to everyone but that has its niche.

Conclusion:
This weekend the best option for avoiding the IP farm is to punch first and then, keep punching; Vi knows what she’s doing. In case you prefer a more protective approach then Galio is your gargoyle; though this method isn’t as effective. Finally, Captain Teemo may be swift but he won’t be of much help; in fact, not much IP is necessary to hire him.
With regards to skins, Vi is preparing herself for her Debonair style. That aside, Officer Vi might come around near Halloween so there’s nothing to see here. What remains is her Neon Strike suit which was put on sale last December. While there’s hope for a Neon Strike in the future, it seems we’ll have to be patient.
A gargoyle isn’t oblivious to fashion which may be part of the reason why on April we found Enchanted Galio on sale. Before that, there was Commando Galio at the beginning of September. Unfortunately, that’s all there is; unless you plan on visiting the Gatekeeper.
As a versatile scout there’s much to be said about the usefulness of disguises. As such it’s not strange to spot Teemo lurking around sales. For instance, on June we saw him in a fluffy Cottontail costume, on March outfitted as an Astronaut, on February with his Recon style and on January dressed as a Panda. Then, all that’s left for this year is for Super Teemo to come save us; which shouldn’t take long as he was last seen on September.
