Conclusion:
This weekend offers a couple of good options and a disappointment. The letdown is Full Metal Pantheon as the splash art sets the expectations for the skin beyond the reach of the actual model. The idea is attractive but the implementation leaves much to be desired.
Sun Goddess Karma has a very distinct style that finely presents an striking Aztec look. The appearance has a dose of fantasy yet it ends up fascinating and believable. Considering its original, interesting concept and good execution, it’s a great option for Karma fans.
For something darker, Ravager Nocturne provides quite a unique style that turns him into a deadly being covered in a flame pattern. The concept isn’t very clear but it surely looks good. This, added to the reasonable price, makes it a very nice choice for Nocturne.

Conclusion:
If you want to escape farming IP with one swift arrow then Varus is your man. He stands as the best option to complete a champion roster but loses all appeal when skins are considered. That’s because Arclight Varus was recently on sale and while Blight Crystal Varus could be discounted soon, it isn’t very attractive.
Yorick can also help reduce IP farming but his price isn’t as difficult to reach; despite still being high. In terms of skins, only his Undertaker style seems worthwhile even if it relies on a very similar concept to his core. The skin may not encourage a purchase but, to play it safe, now is a good chance.
Finally, Janna’s low IP price makes a purchase unnecessary. In fact, due to the nice selection of skins she has available it would be better to reserve RP for their unlocking. Unfortunately, Hextech, Frost Queen and Tempest Janna were already discounted this year so there’s hardly any hurry to unlock her.
