Conclusion:
There’s little doubt that the star of this sale is Scorched Earth Xerath. It’s a wonderful skin that turns Xerath into an armoured fire elemental and offers a stunning visual spectacle.
Hextech Galio is an unimpressive skin, in fact, the look seems rather plain. Regardless, it’s a full re-model for a very low price so if you like Galio or automata it’s a cheap option.
Finally, Surgeon Shen may appeal to dedicated Shen or Dr. McNinja fans but the scrubs and oversized scalpels aren’t that funny. Besides, the look isn’t striking either so there’s little to draw interest.

Conclusion:
This champion sale is a perfect match for the skin sale. Therefore, Xerath is a good investment to get both champion and skin at half price. It will surely save a lot of IP and also provide a great skin for a peculiar but interesting mage.
Galio isn’t a bad purchase, especially if Gatekeeper Galio is of interest, but his IP price isn’t that high either. Still, it’s an opportunity to save a nice amount of IP as Hextech Galio probably isn’t a good reason to buy him.
Lastly, Shen has a reasonable IP price so purchasing him isn’t the best option; Surgeon Shen doesn’t really help either. However, if you are interested on Bloodmoon or Warlord Shen then you may consider purchasing. Nonetheless, IP is the better option as it’s unknown when those skins will go on sale.
