Conclusion:
At a glance Muay Thai Lee Sin is a just another martial arts inspired skin. The looks represent the concept well but when the animations come on stage it’s when the skin finally shines. The result is unequivocally recognizable and appealing so any fan of the Blind Monk and martial arts shouldn’t miss this skin.
Even though appealing in concept Panda Teemo is mostly just another costume skin for the Swift Scout. On top of that, the Captain’s face looks strange and though both Teemo and panda are noticeable they aren’t convincing. The new Noxious Traps help add to the skin’s personality but they can’t fix the issues. In the end, there are better options than Panda Teemo but it does have something to offer.
Being a re-model Hired Gun Graves is simple and to the point. The mercenary aspect is clear but insipid and doesn’t stand out as anything special. It’s a skin that fulfils its promise but just that. As such, it’s an alternative for the Outlaw but there’s better if you are willing to spend more.

Conclusion:
Cut on IP expenses with a quick chop of Darius’ axe but only if you have enough RP. Alternatively, you may be interested in immersing yourself in a world of horror. Nocturne can lead you where IP doesn’t matter but RP must cover the trip. Finally, Tryndamere’s emotional turmoil doesn’t leave him with much interest in IP so it shouldn’t pose much of a problem to hire him.
If you can’t have enough of the wonders of science then know that Darius’ Bioforge suit can be your best friend. It was discounted last March so you’ll have to be patient for a new sale; it could be worth it. Speaking of long waits, it was August when the Woad King came to the market and May when the Lord visited; in 2014. This means that they should return soon but when exactly is a mystery; aristocracy isn’t always very dependable.
A year passed between Nocturne’s presentation of his two nightmares. This May he delighted in the fear that his Ravager visions caused. The previous May, 2014, his Frozen Terror literally chilled the spines of any witnesses. This means that we should be reaching for some reliable warm clothes soon because cold horror will surely strike again.
It was February when King Tryndamere announced that 2015 would be a somewhat slow year for his grace. That may be behind his absence from the market as we haven’t heard of his Sultan obligations since December. We have to admit that it’s probably quite taxing to rule over both a kingdom and a sultanate but it has to be profitable too.
