An early Oktoberfest, a striker always ready to shoot and a prince without enough shadows appear in this weekend sale. Everything seems strange when you look at it closely so let’s do so and see what we can find.

Conclusion:
Drinking but seen under a happy light is what Oktoberfest Gragas offers. The humour and merriment is evident in the skin though the questionable manners remain. Regardless, the beer is aplenty and visibly so. For fans of the Rabble Rouser this is one of the best skins as it manages to be appealing while staying faithful to his nature.
The re-model that is Striker Lucian is as direct as a bullet. The clothes are changed to those of a football player and that’s that. It works but not a step farther from what it is: a change of clothes. If you fancy the idea of having the Purifier ready for a football match then the skin delivers.
For a re-texture, Shadow Prince Malzahar tries yet doesn’t fully manage to give a different style to the Prophet. The new textures have a different look yet are clearly recognizable and struggle to stand out. If you are just looking for a little change from the usual Malzahar then Shadow Prince could be an option.

Conclusion:
Change, is good and so is saving instead of spending IP. Kha’Zix would gladly give you a claw with that if you have the RP. His brother from the Void always says how hungry he is so if you want a weird puppy you better have enough RP ready for Kog’Maw; in case he’s devoured all IP. Finally, Nasus understands the cycle of life and death like few could. This means that IP is of little interest to him so his IP price shouldn’t pose much of a problem.
Getting comfortable in his job as a Guardian of the Sands we should expect to see Kha’Zix offering a discount on tours through the desert in the future. Meanwhile, we can only look back at May 2014 when his Mecha replica proved quite a success. Sooner, rather than later, everyone should be able to get their own mechanical Voidreaver, or so we hope, for half the usual price.
This February, Kog’Maw frolicked like a Monarch butterfly around the market in his latest sale. That was probably a sensation as in June he returned with his Lion Dance. Therefore, we should be seeing his Deep Sea and Jurassic expositions in the foreseeable future as they haven’t reached the showroom since July and September 2014.
Always serious about his business Nasus has already visited the market this year with discounts for his Dreadknight and Galactic armours; in July and February respectively. This means that, as long as his Infernal mood is kept in check, we should be expecting his Pharaoh guise to make a sale appearance. Since December 2014 we’ve been waiting and even rulers should keep to their appointments.
