Conclusion:
If joke skins aren’t your thing then Urfrider Corki will have nothing to offer. Conversely, if you find flying manatees a fearsome source of destruction then things are looking good. The skin has multiple funny touches but feels like the theme could’ve been more rounded. Regardless, it’s a good option for fans of unorthodox weaponry.
The love for manatees extends on to Fisherman Fizz; to Chomper’s dismay. At a glance the skin is mostly a change of clothes and trident for Fizz. The presence of Urf instead of his trusty and toothy shark-pal is the only highlight. The result is appealing but with room for improvement. If you like a playful skin for Fizz it delivers yet it leaves the feeling it could be more.
The execution of Royal Shaco is certainly straightforward and modest. However, the result is definitely attractive. The vivid colours and squared patterns grant the skin an eye-catching appearance that’s suitable despite the classic base. There’s ample room for improvement but what is available is quite good and also quite cheap.

Conclusion:
If you feel down because of the amount of IP farming necessary then let Volibear cheer you up with a bear hug. In case you need a bit more he can also administer more than mild electric shocks. Of course, you could instead rely on royalty. Jarvan IV’s status could help you but don’t complain about pompous discourses. In such a case, you may like to gift a certain aristocrat a Shaco in the Box. It probably won’t help farming much but the results are bound to bring a smile to your face.
In terms of skins, prepare to celebrate a whole year without a sale on Runeguard Volibear next 30th. Unfortunately, we missed the chance to party with the Thunder Lord as it was last discounted on January. At least there’s hope for the Northern Storm as September slowly approaches.
By now, a sale on Warring Kingdoms Jarvan IV is imminent. His other armour sets like Darkforge, Dragon Slayer and Commando were last offered on September, August and July respectively. Thus, there’s a chance they could return but in all probabilities we’ll have to wait.
Finally, a sale on Masked Shaco is long overdue as it was released on the 8th of January, 2013. Luckily, the Demon Jester hasn’t been forgotten as we now welcome his Royal presence and he’s also stabbed people like a Mad Hatter last January. Strangely, a more fitting Asylum reclusion was last proposed on September despite a November Royal Shaco sale. Therefore, don’t expect a handy straitjacket very soon.
