Conclusion:
The aim of Rageborn Mundo is as effective as it’s simple. The orcish aspect fits Mundo well and is also quite good. The new animations aren’t very different though but they add to the skin. Therefore, for fans of warriors with lots of brawn and little else this is a skin that surely delivers.
Adapting to the environment is essential and Arctic Warfare Caitlyn is a predictable but attractive example. The clothing manages a good balance between practicality and good looks. It can feel like a modest re-model but it’s also very satisfying. Fans of Caitlyn will find that the skin has a lot to like.
While it’s difficult to specify what Ravager Nocturne is demonstrating it’s certainly an aspect fitting of a destroyer. The problem is that its undefined nature makes it somewhat unfocused despite being visually appealing. Ultimately, it’s a cheap and nice look for the Eternal Nightmare but one to get as is.

Conclusion:
This weekend, an escape from IP-farming comes by the hands and wings of Quinn and Valor; scouts are the ideal option to get away. An alternative is to let Kog’Maw devour everything but we all know that he doesn’t really eat much; so it’s not as good a choice. Who does eat a lot is Cho’Gath and it’s not just big bones; though, he doesn’t eat much IP.
With regards to looks, flames can be quite entrancing especially when a bird is reborn among them. Quinn and Valor’s Phoenix tribute was seen not too long ago, on April. Added to how recent her Woad outfit is, it means that there isn’t much ahead of this duo, for now.
Being a lovable Void puppy, Kog’Maw tends to get dressed in unusual ways by people. Some like him to actually look fierce like in the July Deep Sea but others prefer him to flutter like a June Monarch butterfly. When there’s a celebration he has also been a part: in January he joined the Lion Dance. Some curious ones have found out, on October, how he’d look if he didn’t eat: like a lot of Jurassic bones, and there’s hope for that to be displayed again.
Maybe it’s due to his hunger but we haven’t seen Cho’Gath since last year. We remember him adapting to the Loch Ness on December or hidden in plain sight in the middle of the November Jurassic exhibition. But, that’s all they are, memories. Maybe we’ll see him again terrorizing sales people soon. With some look he’ll sneak on a future sale; though he’ll need some space and food.
