Conclusion:
Mafia Miss Fortune has a classy Chicago style that suits her well without conflicting with her natural charm. That asks for a degree of fictionalization in her appearance but it’s all elegantly done. Therefore, it’s an attractive and distinct look that fans of the Bounty Hunter will appreciate.
Rugged Garen delivers the idea of a wandering swordsman but certainly not a rugged one. Not only does he look clean while wearing new gear but the skin is heavily based on his classic self. In the end, it’s an interesting take on Garen but not implemented in the best of ways.
Deadly Kennen is straightforward but with a design that stands apart from a mere re-colour. The changes aren’t really significant but they provide the skin with a unique identity. This makes the skin an appropriate alternative for his classic style. Deadly Kennen won’t impress with its looks but, considering its price, it’s a nice option.

Conclusion:
If you don’t enjoy farming IP then a solution could be to have someone chop IP trees for you. In that case, then Darius’ formidable skill with the axe is what you need. Still, you could prefer someone with more ingenuity. While Rumble’s mech isn’t designed to farm he can also lend a scorching, furry hand. Of course, the true scientific approach is that provided by Heimerdinger. The caveat is that while his turrets can farm they haven’t been designed with that purpose.
Moving on to skins, Lord Darius recently paid sales a visit so as to keep the manor in good shape. The Woad King is still too immersed in politics, the head-chopping variety, to appear here; his June 17th arrival means that he hasn’t had enough time on the throne yet. Also, the Bioforge suit was discounted on October which means that the Hand of Noxus will be empty for now.
Rumble seems to have concentrated all his attention on his Super Galaxy mech. However, that’s not entirely the case because he joined the aforementioned Lord in a sale with his Bilgerat model. Previously, he had some holidays, of the Rumble in the Jungle kind, on December. So, he appears well rested and ready for his job; though, that would be far from sales, for the time being.
Finally, Heimerdinger has a varied assortment of turrets to sell. His Piltover Customs edition was discounted on January but his Blast Zone type hasn’t seen a price cut since May, 2012. Only time will tell what this peculiar genius has planned for the future.
