Conclusion:
This week we have a set of good looking skins with distinct styles. As the price isn’t always on par with how much they offer the sale presents a good opportunity at catching some of them. Let’s give them a look.
With a touch of stylization and a fine implementation Mafia Graves does a great job at transporting the Outlaw to the 1920’s. The elegant clothes and plausible adaptation of the shotgun offer not only good looks but also cement a decidedly classic theme. Fans of Graves won’t need to think much to accept this offer no one should refuse.
Along new blades and a stylish suit comes the frosty air that Frostblade Irelia provides. The aesthetic is quite appealing due to an interesting blade design and a measured amount of ice. The actual problem is the high price which the sale thankfully lessens. All in all, it’s a great looking but expensive skin for Irelia so, if you like it, better get it while on sale.
Sometimes it’s not the extent but the effectiveness of the changes that gives identity to a skin. That’s the case with Shadow Evelynn which is no more than a change of colour for her skin, hair and clothes. Regardless, the result naturally catches the eye. It’s certainly a simple re-colour but a really well done one. So, being on sale, there’s little reason for Evelynn fans to skip it.

Conclusion:
A Titan is always a formidable opponent to face so, why not make your enemies deal with such a situation? This week, Nautilus is the best choice to complete a champion roster while avoiding a good amount of IP farming. Unfortunately, all of his skins have already been on sale this year. Therefore, if you don’t need this behemoth there aren’t any other reasons to hire him.
The Night Hunter is also a good option to save on quite some IP farming; provided you don’t regularly amass large quantities. Vayne also hunts with style so if an Aristocrat or Dragonslayer look is to your liking those are possible future sales. Vindicator and Heartseeker Vayne, however, were already discounted this year.
Finally, the Fist of Shadow is better unlocked with IP as her price is quite reasonable. It’s better to reserve RP for her many skins though they have all been on sale already this year. Thus, there isn’t much reason to rush if skins are a prime concern.
