Conclusion:
While attractive with its gloomy aesthetic Dark Valkyrie Diana opposes most of the values that the classic counterpart stands for. It’s a skin with an appealing dark concept but also greatly stylized and lacking in the valkyrie side. All in all, it’s a nice skin but fans will have to excuse the departure from the concepts stated by her classic form.
In spite of the Lord of the Rings reference Veigar Greybeard is a simple skin. For some it might be just a grey Master of Evil sporting a beard while others may appreciate the homage. Nevertheless, it’s not a bad skin but it doesn’t offer much either.
Risking being confused with a re-colour Commando Xin Zhao doesn’t go far beyond dressing the Seneschal in green. The armour receives some variations as well as the spear but the concept is thinly conveyed. Even at its low price, Commando is a skin that might be better reserved for dedicated fans or collectors.

Conclusion:
If you’re on a whim to save IP then you’ll need the help of a peculiar sorceress like Lulu; though it comes at a cost. Although, any kind of magic wouldn’t do so Malzahar could give a hand but his voidlings could get in the way. Finally, many will find Blitzcrank’s IP price reasonable enough; you could incur in expenses but with some patience it’s unnecessary.
It hasn’t been that long since Lulu visited and brought some nice gifts; which seemed quite animated. For instance, this past March there were black cats all around; she has a Wicked sense of humour. We prefered November, when she brought cupcakes, even if they tasted Bittersweet they were nice. In October it was animals again but fantastic ones: dragons; apparently she’s taken being a Dragon Trainer quite seriously. That’s bound to keep her occupied for a good while.
The visions, they tear at the mind and make one lose focus. Malzahar knows it well so he tries to keep his mind full to prevent any collapses. That’s why in February he dressed as a Djinn and offered a spectacle of Void magic. Not everyone was impressed as the Prophet was previously seen as a Shadow Prince, in May, and an Overlord; in January 2014. Such occupations are to return soon and they surely won’t be as light-hearted as a magic show.
Technology keeps advancing and Blitzcrank doesn’t want to be left behind. Keeping that in his RAM, whatever kind he uses, he has endeavoured to test his limits. Last October he dressed as a boxer and went on the ring along the chant of Boom Boom. It wasn’t exactly a success and taking the September sensation of his iBlitzcrank line as an example might’ve been a mistake. Perhaps it’s time to return to Piltover Customs and get his screws fastened, perhaps even a memory wipe; after a while droids begin to develop a personality and independence.
