Overview
Legions, soldiers, warriors are, regardless of their origin, people with a purpose. Three arrive at this weekend sale so, what’s their objective?
Skins:
Conclusion:
In spite of the serious militaristic style of the skin Steel Legion Lux is a wonderful option. With an interesting model and multiple visual and aural effects the skin offers a lot. Fans of Lux and sci-fi shouldn’t skip it.
While not spectacular Musketeer Twisted Fate is an adequate tribute to D’Artagan. There isn’t much historical accuracy and the use of cards as a weapon is a bit of a stretch as well. Regardless, the skin has its charm and suits the Card Master in spirit.
It surely seems like a natural choice but Atlantean Fizz doesn’t develop its theme as much as it could or should. The few additions the skin offers aren’t bad but they do feel lacking. Still, for its low price it’s an acceptable alternative for fans of the Trickster.
Champions:
Zed | |
Irelia | Olaf |
Conclusion:
Avoid IP farming by escaping into the shadows with the help of Zed; he’s your best choice. Less effective but still a good option is Irelia and her deadly blades. Olaf might be an unstoppable warrior but when it comes to IP he doesn’t need much so there isn’t much reason to go the expense.
Currently, Zed stands proud as a member of SKT T1; at least until the end of the month. Before that, in September, he unleashed his Shockblade in the realms of sales. That said, the future seems somewhat quiet for this ninja.
September was the time of the Frostblade for Irelia while April was that of the Nightblade. It’s interesting how seasons change the choice of a blade. Yet that doesn’t explain why Irelia has been seen as neither an Infiltrator nor an Aviator since last year; in November and September respectively. Why could it be?
Olaf was Forsaken this August but that doesn’t compare to the Glacial adventure last December. Besides, both pale in comparison to his Pentakill experiences; like the time they offered a concert at half price, in August 2013, and the amount of people collapsed the theatre they were in; good times.
