Summary
Period: 3rd to 10th of July, 2013
Bundles: Top Hat, The Five Senses and The Family Business
Note: the bundles reduce their prices depending on which content you already own. In case you don’t own a champion or skin in a bundle the price rises by the corresponding price.
Three bundles proposed by the very same players of League of Legends are offered this time. No one can say Riot doesn’t listen, right? Anyway, let’s give them a quick look and see if they are worth considering.
Overview
Top Hat Bundle
Discount: 50%
Total Price: 9220 -> 4610 RP
Skins’ Price: 5330 -> 2665 RP
In spite of the presence of a legacy skin this bundle is quite uneven. On one hand there are nice skins like Prestigious LeBlanc, Superb Villian Veigar and Mad Hatter Shaco. On the other hand, Uncle Ryze has limited appeal plus Pentakill Yorick and, especially, The Magnificent Twisted Fate seem overpriced for what they offer. In conclusion, unless you like most if not all of what’s in the bundle it might be better to skip it.
The Five Senses Bundle
Discount: 50%
Total Price: 3880 -> 2910 RP
A champion bundle can be a good way of broadening a champion roster. This bundle has quite a lot of variety in terms of different game-play and there are even some rather recent champions like Vel’Koz and Zac. However, there’s also Warwick whose low IP price means that it would take little effort to unlock. On top of that, a 25% discount is low if we compare it with regular champion sales and the fact that with patience they can all be unlocked without spending a cent. Ultimately, it’s an option but certainly not the best.
The Family Business Bundle
Discount: 50%
Total Price: 9100 -> 4550 RP
Skins’ Price: 4874 -> 2437 RP
On the whole, this is a rather nice bundle with a clear and appealing theme. The first four skins are fine adaptations of the 1920’s Chicago style though Gragas Esq. is made to fit. Still, the real issue with Gragas Esq. is that he looks classy but doesn’t act as such. If that’s not a problem and you feel like hiring a few members for your Cosa Nostra then this is hardly a bad option.
