Conclusion:
New frosty particles and sounds along a rough new aspect make Woad King Darius attractive without being flamboyant. The Celtic angle is reasonably well implemented though the frost doesn’t make much sense. Regardless, it’s a skin that offers a lot and that manages to stand above the norm.
With all its additions Steel Legion Lux is a skin that pushes the envelope with regards to how much a skin can offer. Specifically, because particles, animations and sounds are interesting and help define the sci-fi army concept. As far as military skins go this is one of the best and it certainly is one of Lux’s better options.
In terms of cheap skins few can compare to Chosen Master Yi. On top of having quite significant model changes it also adds new particles for his lightsaber as well as new sounds for his auto-attack. Fans of Master Yi will find much to like in this sci-fi approach to a swordsman but for Star Wars fans it’s an unavoidable choice.

Conclusion:
Zac’s flexibility helps in many regards and saving IP is one of them; if you have a bunch of RP. The Void offers many things and saving IP is one of them; just have your RP ready when contacting Malzahar. Lastly, Nidalee is used to finding or hunting for what she needs so IP isn’t something of use in the jungle; when in the city she may need some cash but she doesn’t ask for much IP.
It’s not time yet for Pool Party discounts so Zac is awaiting the right time to sling another offer into the market. It was August 2014 when the Special Weapon was on sale so we ought to see it again. Nobody can say that Zac isn’t taking his time to make a good shot.
The Void never rests and neither does Malzahar; when it comes to sales. This year has already seen the Shadow Prince in August, the Overlord in May and the Djinn in February. Until a snow day comes the Prophet of the Void won’t see much reason to return to the market; perhaps next year.
Soon the Warring Kingdoms will have need of Nidalee again but in the meantime there’s one thing to wait for. This July the market was organized by the French Maid and in February the stock was carefully improved to a Headhunter’s standards. Therefore, everything is ready for the visit of the Pharaoh; we are waiting since December for her.
