Conclusion:
A beat down can come in many flavours: from futuristic to old-school and also of the poisonous variety. For that purpose the current sale comes with a varied assortment of skins. Let’s give them a quick look.
Neon Strike Vi is a unique skin with an appealing aspect along a nice arrangement of particles and sounds. On top of that, you also get to toggle Vi’s shades as well as a fancy recall at a reasonable price. Even if you aren’t a fan of Vi, Neon Strike is a skin that stands above the norm.
Acolyte Lee Sin aims to wrap the monk as a fantastic resident of a monastery. His appearance is certainly distinct but it doesn’t seem to evoke any specific idea. In the end, it’s a flashy robed monk that is content with just catching the eye.
Desperada Cassiopeia incorporates the look of a rattlesnake framed by elegant clothes. The style suits both of her sides and together they make a rather attractive skin despite not going beyond model changes. All in all, it’s a great choice for fans of the Serpent’s Embrace.

Conclusion:
This weekend, if you want to save IP and skip any farming then simply join the chorus: Draven is the best option to that end, no doubt, and Swain isn’t a bad alternative either. On the other hand, Pantheon has a moderate asking price in IP so while it isn’t the lowest it’s still manageable.
As far as skins go, Soul Reaver Draven was discounted recently and Gladiator still has a long way to go. Swain has had all of his skins discounted this year and even though Bilgewater appeared in February there’s no warranty of any soon discounts. The same applies to Pantheon with Glaive Warrior discounted in January.
Therefore, there’s a chance that skins that were on sale by the beginning of the year could return. However, the odds are unpredictable so, unless you want to play it safe, there’s no need to rush.
