Conclusion:
If you are a fan of kunoichis and ninjas then this is the sale you’ve been waiting for. While the style isn’t exactly conventional and has some strong Noh theatre inspiration the shadow assassin theme remains.
The recommended skins are Blood Moon Akali and Shen. On the one hand, they don’t adopt the classic ninja style. On the other hand, they compensate by providing a fitting and rich traditional feel. Besides, neither Akali nor Shen look out of place and the look perfectly fits them.
Ninja Rammus isn’t a bad skin but the adaptation seems a little rough and doesn’t feel very natural. It’s still distinct so if you don’t mind the stylized look and flashy colours it may be worth considering.
Champions:

| Rammus | Zed |
Conclusion:
The obvious choice of this sale is Zed due to his elevated IP price and eventual sale of Shockblade Zed; though it will take a good while. It’s not a bad way of speeding the completion of the champion roster but by the time Shockblade is on sale chances are you have already farmed enough IP; depends on what else you spend it on.
Secondly, Irelia may be a good choice if you find her IP too high, though it’s manageable to an extent, plus she also has a few interesting skins available. Frostblade and Infiltrator Irelia were on sale not long ago but the others could be discounted soon.
Finally, Rammus is an interesting choice due to the impending sale of Full Metal Rammus. However, his IP price isn’t that high and he really doesn’t have any other skins that merit purchasing him. Even if you like his ninja style, IP is probably the better choice.
