Conclusion:
Blood Moon Akali offers a look at an Ionian festival in which Akali takes part. The aesthetic is a great match for a kunoichi and also pleasing to the eye. Between the concept and execution it’s a really well done skin and a great choice for fans of the Fist of Shadow.
Northern Front Swain harkens back from his days directing troops in the border with Freljord. The fitting and elegant military uniform is believable and the light colour scheme makes it stand out. On the whole, fans of the Master Tactician will find it one of his best options.
Traditional Lee Sin is an interesting reflection on his origins of fighting monk. The appearance is straightforward yet suitable and a fine option for fans of martial arts. It may not sport a spectacular aspect but it’s a good option at a low price.

Conclusion:
Pull the strings, watch them dance and farm a lot of IP. If you need to avoid farming then the Spider Queen’s vassals can do it for you. For the more arcane inclined the Magus Ascendant can literally do magic with IP issues. The Fist of Shadow shouldn’t be discarded either: she may not be particularly adept at farming with her kamas but she surely knows how to get a job done. Thus, while they aren’t all equally useful to avoid farming they are all fine options.
Moving on to style, Death Blossom Elise was last discounted on August. A reasonable amount of time has elapsed since then but chances are that patience will be necessary. Remember that many skins haven’t been on sale for more than a year.
With that in mind, we could consider Xerath to be out of luck. That’s because Scorched Earth was on sale on December, Runeborn on November and Battlecast on October. In spite of overflowing magical prowess Xerath will have to wait a while for discounts.
Finally, Akali’s skins are an example of those that are either approaching a year without reaching a sale or simply over that threshold. The last skin discounted was Stinger, on May, so the present sale on Blood Moon was to be expected. The rest should follow shortly; in theory.
