Conclusion:
An interesting set of skins is offered this week. The general theme is clearly grim and dark so for those with a fondness for such fashion this sale would be quite welcome. Let’s give them a look.
Reaper Hecarim incorporates fitting elements from different sources and transforms the Shadow of War into a fantastic personification of death. The skin accomplishes an attractive look thanks to an implementation that skilfully mixes the concepts without exaggerations. The result not only fits but even adds to Hecarim’s style. If you enjoy Hecarim then his Reaper persona is certainly recommended.
Tyrant Swain does something very well: display a champion at the height of their power. This interpretation of the Master Tactician distils him into his pure form: a supernatural wizard wielding a dark, impressive power. Whether as human or raven, Tyrant Swain never fails at displaying a refined and polished look that catches the eye. Its high price is surely an issue but the sale lessens its impact. In conclusion, no Swain fan should skip this skin.
Executioner Mundo definitely has a modest execution as it only modifies his model a bit. However, the suitable concept and clear implementation result in an appealing style that perfectly matches the Madman’s brutality. The result is appealing but also doesn’t ask for much of an expense. Thus, it becomes a great choice for fans of Dr. Mundo.

Conclusion:
This week, welcome to the League of Draven; so if you want the best choice to complete a champion roster the answer is clear. Besides being a good way of avoiding farming IP Draven also offers some good styles. Soul Reaver Draven was on sale at the beginning of 2013 and Gladiator Draven will still take a while to be discounted. Yet, this is a good chance to play it safe if any of those skins interest you.
Irelia is also a good choice if you don’t gather much IP regularly. Besides, this year, only Nightblade Irelia was discounted so all of her other skins are eligible to go on sale; including the expensive Frostblade Irelia. Therefore, to be ready to outfit the Will of the Blades in the best of ways this is a good opportunity.
Finally, Twitch’s reasonable IP price makes a purchase not the best of options. He has a few interesting skins but Gangster and Vandal Twitch were already on sale this year. On top of that, there’s still no hint of a new skin coming so there isn’t much reason to rush.
