Conclusion:
Even though Baron Von Veigar fails to impress it’s a fitting concept for the Master of Evil. The appearance is a bit flat but it has its charm. If you like Veigar then this is an interesting alternative.
In spite of the multiple elements the skin incorporates Officer Vi still remains a parody with a clear sexy angle. That’s not entirely a bad thing but it also means that beyond good looks there’s little to find. If you are looking for something enticing it delivers but there’s better.
While not a full re-model Buccaneer Tristana is a skin that suits the Gunner’s love for explosions and convinces with its depiction of yordle piracy. It’s certainly not a skin that astounds but the reasonable price, added to the attractive concept and execution, make it a great option.

Conclusion:
Sometimes something from another world is necessary to avoid farming IP. This week, that’s covered thanks to Kha’Zix’s apparition. Renekton can also lend a scaly hand but as he prefers more slashing and less IP it’s not as good an option. Finally, Gangplank could help those in a rush but his IP price is reasonable for a corsair.
They say that change is good or at least Kha’Zix believes so as in May he evolved into a lethal Mecha. According to recent events it seems he also has a liking for Shurima. However, it will be a while before he visits a sale as a Guardian of the Sands.
Not too long ago Renekton was in charge of keeping order at a Pool Party; he’s certainly not lacking in authority. In May he could be seen across the stars in his Galactic suit and in March giving tours around the Outback. Although, since October 2013 he hasn’t worn his Rune Wars armour and since August 2013 his Bloodfury set. That’s not going to sit well with him. So, before he embraces his rage and lets the furnace burn with Scorched Earth, his armours should get more sales exposition.
Once a corsair, sometimes a Minuteman; like this August. Gangplank knows that piracy can only go so long as a job so he’s even tried some Spooky business in January. Maybe he’s just not fit for the Special Forces as since July 2013 he hasn’t been around as a member. Maybe he’ll do better as a Sultan someday but for now we have to wait.
