Conclusion:
A trio of stylish ladies bless the sales with their presence this weekend. While Syndra also benefits from the aid of her spheres these three dames exude style from all directions. Let’s give them a close look.
Justicar Syndra is a brighter version of the Dark Sovereign that instead of challenging her classic style complements it instead. It displays all of Syndra’s power as she embraces the responsibility it conveys. The result is definitely impressive and will appeal both to Syndra and lore fans. In case you haven’t yet been drawn to the Dark Sovereign, her Justicar style could change your mind.
Blade Mistress Morgana is a skin that offers a concept that reinforces the Fallen Angel’s nature. The blade decorations added to her dress are not only absorbing but also finely incorporated: without saturating her look. Blade Mistress Morgana is a skin that simply looks great and is recommended for any Morgana fan.
The last lady to appear in this sale adopts a decidedly primal aspect that is as attractive as it is revealing. Her dragon form matches her human appearance and manages an appealing aesthetic that is equal parts primitive and reptilian. If her revealing outfit isn’t an issue then Boneclaw Shyvana is quite a nice skin for the half-dragon.

Conclusion:
To avoid IP farming sometimes it’s simply better to bounce around the fields, unless you have a secret weapon. This weekend, Zac is the choice so that your champion roster completion isn’t unnecessarily stretched. If you prefer another flavour, then Special Weapon Zac is an option to consider but one that will take a good while to go on sale. Therefore, skins aren’t an argument to jump on the purchase.
Kennen, as would be expected, isn’t so obvious to pinpoint. Depending on how much IP you usually gather you may find that Kennen saves a good amount of farming; or not enough. Additionally, if something polar appeals to you, Arctic Ops Kennen could go on sale soon but it would be the only skin to do so. The others have already been on sale this year so it wouldn’t be surprising if Kennen sneaks away again.
Finally, Heimerdinger’s low IP price makes a purchase not the most attractive of prospects. It surely doesn’t help that many of his skins aren’t very appealing and that Piltover Customs was already discounted this year. On top of that, there’s a re-work scheduled for the future so you could even find that you don’t enjoy the new Revered Inventor as much as the old one. From the look of things, unless you are sure about needing his expertise, it would be wise to wait.
