Conclusion:
A rather flat sale dawns on this weekend because while the discounts remain their usual selves the skin selection could’ve been better. Still, they may be better grabbed at a discount so, let’s give them a quick look.
Urfrider Corki bases its appeal on a flying manatee and a few extras. The silly spirit of the skin is undeniable but can’t stay funny for long. Besides, the skin tends to be rather tame and rely on classic assets. All in all, it’s a nice skin for Corki as long as you are a fan of Urf.
Chrome Rammus is a distinct re-texture but also an overpriced one. The sale helps make this aggressive style more palatable. Nonetheless it feels like an expensive re-colour.
Vandal Jax is a skin which is good in concept but unexploited in its implementation. The spiked club is an interesting choice but that’s all that stands out. Besides a new colour for his clothes Vandal Jax doesn’t offer anything else so it struggles to deliver its idea.

Conclusion:
This week, farming avoidance is supported by a couple of peculiar subjects: Rengar and Galio. That’s not to say that Blitzy is a regular fellow but his IP price is more reasonable and can be reached in a moderate amount of time; usually.
In terms of looks, Headhunter Rengar was on sale last July so a future sale is feasible but improbable. Commando Galio stands on similar grounds, with a sale on August, but Enchanted has a brighter tomorrow as its discount harkens back to April.
Finally, Blitzcrank has his Piltover Customs persona on sale until the end of the day. Conversely, while iBlitzcrank eagerly awaits a discount it still has nine competitors queued before him. The remaining skin, Boom Boom Blitzcrank, has been on sale by the end of March for two consecutive years. A third one might be a coincidence but, nevertheless, looks like a sale is in its near future.
