Conclusion:
This weekend sale offers some of the best skins available for each of the respective champions. While not the best overall the skins are quite good so let’s give them a quick look.
Piltover Customs Heimerdinger is one of the best skins for the Revered Inventor. It doesn’t stray far from a re-model but the nods to the lore and engineering definitely sit well with Heimy. Fans of Heimerdinger will find much to like in Piltover Customs.
Mad Scientist Singed is a more conventional yet also charming look for the Mad Chemist. While there’s a degree of stylization it also incorporates well the staples of the theme. Anyone with a liking for manic experimentation will find this skin an appealing option.
Thunder Lord Volibear can be considered traditional and even similar to its classic counterpart. The design does bare a resemblance but the result stands on its own with a distinct identity. It may not be innovative but at its low price it provides an eye-catching look for the Thunder’s Roar.

Conclusion:
Cut down and pummel away IP farming with the help of Aatrox and Lee Sin. Mordekaiser can also lend a hand but his IP price is more manageable. Regardless, they can all be a viable option if you require their services in short notice.
As for skins, Justicar Aatrox still has quite a few skins queued before him so it will take a good while before a discount is possible. You can instead focus your attention on Dragon Fist Lee Sin as its sale ends the day Lee Sin’s one starts. This makes for an interesting opportunity if you want an early entry into Lunar Revel.
That aside, Pool Party Lee Sin is too recent to be discounted. Additionally, Acolyte was on sale on December so that’s another out of consideration. Fortunately, Muay Thai and Traditional Lee Sin should come back soon since last April saw their previous sales.
Finally, the Master of Metal has had his Infernal armour discounted on December. However, Lord Mordekaiser paid a visit on September so it has a better chance though still not the best. Pentakill is the one that seems nearer as its last sale was on May.
