Conclusion:
Few skins change the feel of a champion but Deep Sea Kog’Maw does that: from cute monster to a menacing abomination. The new model is quite detailed and offers a unique aspect that gives the voraciousness of the Void Puppy a different meaning. Fans of Kog’Maw and well thought out skins will find a great option in the Deep Sea.
Other skins prefer to alter the classic aspect and accomplish a different aspect. Veigar Greybeard manages to display the traditional wizard look but stops right there. In the end, it’s a simple skin with a clear aim that seems good and just that.
Following the pattern we find Sanguine Garen: a more aggressive styling of his classic self with a distinct colour palette. The result is somewhat different but still too similar to the base and not really deadly. Consequently, it’s a passable alternative for those looking for a change of colour at a low price.

Conclusion:
How about avoiding farming IP and receiving a huge bear hug? If that sounds right then your best option is Volibear. You might prefer instead something less optimal but with more bang. In that case, Mr. Graves has you covered. The only remaining option is to try to catch up to Miss Fortune’s swift strut. Although you may be able to, it won’t help save that much IP.
Moving on to looks, Volibear has already displayed his versatility this year. His Runeguard armour was recently on sale, the Northern Storm gear on May and the Thunder Lord paraphernalia on January. We could say then that for a good while, this bear will be hibernating away from sales.
When you need an affordable professional, remember Graves. Last March you could find him as a Hired Gun with a discount. Looking back, we can also see that on November he provided Jailbreak services and in October contacts with the Mafia. So, until a Pool Party is announced, we’ll have to wait.
As a versatile bounty hunter Miss Fortune knows the importance of dressing for success. Then, it’s no surprise to find her among sales like this July, as a Cowgirl, or in May, when she was after the Mafia. Previously, there were rumours around February about a certain Secret Agent. Sadly, she seems to find little interest as a Road Warrior or in a Waterloo uniform as it’s been over a year since they were discounted.
