Conclusion:
While technically simple Reverse Annie is a charming skin with a great concept. As it would be fit for a little girl she procures costumes and lets the fun commence. Fans of Annie will find a skin that that has much appeal thanks to its clever concept.
In general, Warring Kindoms Jarvan IV is an uneven skin with additions here and there that only strikes during Cataclysm. The aspect appears rather flamboyant and while eye-catching it doesn’t completely justify its high price. Fans of Jarvan IV or The Three Kingdomss period will find the sale of much help.
In spite of the inaccuracies introduced by the visual upgrade Pharaoh Nasus is a skin that communicates its message. The appearance is attractive and the concept suitable. Thus, added to the low price, it’s quite a fine skin for fans of the Curator.
Comfortable yet armoured suit complementing frosted blades allows Frostblade Irelia to realize the ice warrior fantasy effectively. The attractive particles cement the idea and round an excellent skin. Frostblade Irelia is a skin that can appeal not only to her fans but also to those that enjoy a skin well done.

Conclusion:
To save IP Quinn & Valor appear to have the right team-work to make the best of it. Irelia and Malzahar, thanks to their mystic or Void-powered skills manage to help but not as much. Finally, Taric’s mind is certainly not on IP as his IP price is reasonable.
Still getting used to their Woad Scout responsibilities Quinn and Valor haven’t yet found an opportunity to discount such services. What they did discount was their Phoenix outfit this April; legends always come back.
Recently, we waved goodbye to Irelia’s Infiltrator suit. Before that, in April, Irelia unleashed her Nightblade. All that’s left then is for her Aviator hobby to return to the spotlight because since September 2013 she hasn’t had a chance to practice.
Preparing for a day in the snow Malzahar hasn’t been seen much in the year to start with. In May he appeared as a Shadow Prince and in January as an Overlord but that’s it. For some reason his Djinn costume’s been gathering dust since September 2013. Maybe he started the end of year preparations way ahead of time; now that’s foresight.
Conversely, for Taric this has been a busy year. In August he prepared his Bloodstone armour for all to see and that was just the last of his appearances. In March he also dusted both his Emerald and Armor of the Fifth Age suits. Still, it seems like things are quieter now; maybe he’s consulting his fashion advisor.
