Overview
In this week’s sale we have some steampunk-inspired technology, an ice golem and a snow werewolf. It all sounds quite good but is it really? Let’s give the sale a quick look and find out.

Conclusion:
As strange as it may seem, Hextech Janna accomplishes a distinct look by fully clothing her. The aspect is interesting and, while not a complete re-model, the skin stands out. In consequence, Hextech Janna is a fine option for fans of the Storm’s Fury and those that like something different for their champion.
For a clear and attractive change Glacial Malphite is a great option. The significant and satisfying additions give the skin a unique identity. The most prominent problem it suffers from is its high price but, being on sale, it becomes a better choice.
A re-colour suffers from a limited extension from its very conception so a good degree of imagination is necessary to make it appealing. Tundra Hunter Warwick has a nice look but it still is nothing impressive. In the end, it isn’t a bad skin but it might be better for collectors or dedicated Blood Hunter fans.

Conclusion:
This time, technology will be of great help to avoid IP farming. Just leave everything in Viktor’s expert hands; the three of them. If the count is too high for you then Yorick could be another less optimal option. At least, you won’t be lonely with his ghouls. The final option is to forget everything in a drunken stupor by joining Gragas. But, as you can expect, it’s hardly to be of much use with IP; not that much is at stake in this case.
Moving on to skins, Creator Viktor is looming on the horizon, slowly but steadily approaching. That aside, it was on November when we had access to an affordable Full Machine version of him and on October to a Prototype. From the look of things, only patience will be of use.
Yorick doesn’t have a great selection of outfits and it’s also been a while since we’ve seen them here. It was last October when his Undertaker suit was discounted and on September his Pentakill gear. So, bundles aside, we can only wait.
Recently we noticed the appearance of Gragas in full Hillbilly style; so to speak. Looking behind, we also saw his Vandal clothing on March but the rest hails from last year. On December there was Gragas Esq. and on August, Oktoberfest Gragas on sale. Once again, we can only look forward in anticipation.
