Conclusion:
As a battle-angel Kayle’s Battleborn skin provides a more classic aesthetic that is believable, suitable and appealing. There are some stylistic decisions that can be unconvincing but the general aspect is well done. Fans of Kayle will find much to like in this skin.
For a depressed mummy Sad Robot Amumu is a sort of modernisation. The skin effectively transforms him into an android with an attractive model and eye-catching particles. The processed voice-over is a great finishing touch. The skin is somewhat expensive but, on sale, it’s a great option for fans of robots or the Sad Mummy.
Hillbilly Gragas is a crude skin that is neither visually appealing nor even funny. The idea is conveyed but it’s just a negative stereotype. Unless you are a great Gragas fan this is a skin to skip.

Conclusion:
Draven does it all, even helping avoid IP farming so there isn’t much else to say: if you need something, you need Draven. Of course a massive club is also a weighty argument even if Trundle isn’t exactly the rural kind. The only remaining option is violence, because it solves everything according to Katarina; though not much IP is at stake.
In terms of looks, Draven has them all obviously. Primetime Draven seems to be a legendary skin on permanent sale so we have to look back at May to find his Gladiator endeavour. The alternative is a flamboyant Soul Reaver which will probably take a while to return as he was last seen on November.
Speaking of clubs, Trundle belongs to a couple: Recyclers and Baseball. On March we found a reduced fee to become a Junkyard explorer but it was on August when becoming a Lil’ Slugger was more affordable. So, the latter could be an option to keep an eye on but chances are that patience is still necessary.
Finally, the feisty Katarina has confirmed that this month we’ll find her Sandstorm outfit at a discount. Also, we can discard the impending return of her Mercenary and High Command uniforms; on sale this July and last April, respectively. Regardless, we can prepare to celebrate the one year anniversary of her Bilgewater costume away from sales, this July.
