Conclusion:
Treading the same known path of rage, Scorched Earth Renekton takes the Butcher’s fury and turns it into flames. The idea isn’t bad but the execution can be a bit too fantastic and stylish for its own good. Nonetheless, the numerous modifications add up to create an interesting whole that can be appealing. For fans of the Butcher, it’s a great option with a well rounded theme; even if unoriginal and fancy.
Proving that times have changed Lion Dance Kog’Maw is a lacklustre skin that tries to relive its bygone legendary years with a high price. The theme is actually interesting but the inconsistent execution doesn’t allow it to come to life as it could. In fact, nothing explains the high price except for its former glory. Therefore, fans of Kog’Maw may find the idea appealing but the implementation not being up to par with the monetary demand.
Straightforward but pleasing, the golden armour worn by Battle Regalia Poppy conveys a distinguished style that is also practical and fitting for a battlefield. The concept is simple and the implementation doesn’t have any complexities attached but the result is attractive. For a low price, fans of Poppy can give her an air of royal class while keeping her impactful personality.

Conclusion:
When you need to deal a touché to IP expenses then it’s the time to hire a Grand Duelist like Fiora; if you have the RP necessary. If instead you prefer something more tricky then Fizz could very well have the gambit you need but RP is again required. Finally, being barely conscious in a constant drunken stupor means that Gragas doesn’t need many riches as long as he has enough for a drink. Thus, his IP price is rather manageable for the most part.
Others may try but Fiora knows that to succeed you have to seize each opportunity. This year has been a good example of that: she was at the Royal Guard in May and some rumours in March say that she’s behind the mysterious vigilante known only as the Nightraven. As we can see, it’ll be a while to see Fiora again as she has already been quite busy.
As Fizz resists the pull of the Void he has found that distracting himself tends to help. In May he took a stroll through the Tundra and in January tried his hand at being a Fisherman. Last October he made an Atlantean travel so he’s bound to repeat it: anything before succumbing to the Void.
You can drink or you can quaff but if you want do it with style then Gragas has some ideas. Of course, this has all been tested with more than a few pints of spirituous beverages. Let’s see, in May we saw the distinction of an Esq. yet that’s all to be found this year. Last year we could see the merriment of an Oktoberfest delayed until November and the distilled wonders of a Hillbilly. It could all be a liquor-induced hallucination but Gragas will surely find the way to invite us for a drink again; cheers.
