Conclusion:
The fire theme behind Foxfire Ahri is traditional but attractive and the implementation is rather good. There are moments where the flames could’ve been extended to other areas of the skin but the result is good even if a bit inconsistent. The result is an appealing skin with a classic but eye-catching theme that fans of Ahri will surely enjoy.
For fans of football or funny skins Goalkeeper Maokai is a charming option. His mix of football pitch and player along the characteristic saplings defines a pleasing style. The skin stops there, just model changes, yet manages to convey its theme. Thus, it’s a skin that even if modest manages to be attractive with its peculiarity.
The idea behind Karate Kennen is nothing groundbreaking but the change of clothes is effective though brief. Fortunately, the clothes allow a clearer view of his cute, furry, yordle physique which is another high point of the skin. The combination is appealing even if the ninja legacy clashes with it at times. In the end, it’s quite a nice skin with a distinct aesthetic.

Conclusion:
Technology is the future and Jayce has a device for every need; including saving IP. However, there’s a price to pay in RP. If you instead would rather hop around the IP farm then you may want to hire Riven; if you have enough RP. Finally, all this business about IP may be just an illusion. After all, LeBlanc doesn’t ask for much if you need her help so that wouldn’t pose a problem. Yet, would it be the real LeBlanc?
His place among the Forsaken order isn’t something that Jayce would like to expand on. Therefore, we have to centre our conversation in more technological matters. For example, it seems like his Full Metal armour is doing quite well as the May sale proved. So, it’s only a matter of time until his Debonair gadgets receive another discount just like last November. It’s all for a brighter tomorrow.
This 2015 has been a busy year for Riven. In June her Crimson Elite days returned with her sale of such uniform; very sleek and practical. In March it was the turn of her Redeemed armour which has received much acceptance among her fans. Last but not least, February saw her Battle Bunny costume on discount which has surely demonstrated that hopping to victory is still a preferred way among swordfighters.
In spite of the apparition of the Ravenborn lady in a couple of bundles we shouldn’t get confused: it’s not what LeBlanc has reserved for sales. That would be her Presitigious show, which we enjoyed in April, or her Wicked clothes collection, discounted in February. Such multi-faceted personality also brings forth some questions like: which one is the true LeBlanc?
