Conclusion:
A white ninja wielding lightning may not seem particularly original but is certainly appealing. While Shockblade Zed never really becomes spectacular the aspect is novel. All in all, it’s a very fine option for fans of ninjas.
An almost full re-model makes Fiddlesticks a pirate parody. The appearance covers the usual elements but applied to an unexpected subject. The result is well done and interesting which makes Fiddle Me Timbers something different.
Model changes aren’t always significant and Thunder Lord Volibear suffers from that. The only relevant change is the new armour as the rest doesn’t stand above a change of fur colour. Thus, it’s a skin that provides an alternative look of the same Thunder Roar.

Conclusion:
Fighting the forces of darkness and helping avoid farming IP: the usual stuff for Lucian. Wukong’s tendency for mischief also helps but he’s not infallible and so not as good an option. Tryndamere simply lacks any subtlety and, while there’s a time and place for that, it’s better to simply give him some IP.
Depending on the task at hand a change of clothes can be necessary. That’s particularly important when offering one’s services. Lucian can be anyone’s Hired Gun but, so far, that service hasn’t seen a discount. It should be about time but you know how Purifiers are.
A Monkey King but also a General, at least Wukong dresses as one, as he did last April. That aside he also has a Jade Dragon outfit which is rather nice and on March he paid a visit while wearing it. For many it’s all monkey business but they haven’t seen him angry. Last December he was in a foul mood and he looked Volcanic; let’s hope he stays calm but, who knows?
A Demonblade is always a fearsome weapon but not something to carry everywhere. Sometimes Tryndamere needs to act like a King and sometimes like a Viking, as he did in March. Thanks to his versatility he is even known as a Sultan but he doesn’t seem to like it: as that hasn’t happened since August, 2013. Well, there’s always the Demonblade.
