Conclusion:
This sale seems to be in a celebratory mood; at least it’s the season. From liquor expertise, gluttony and good vibes there’s a bit of everything. Let’s give it a quick look.
Gragas Esq. is one of the Rabble Rouser’s most refined skins. Unfortunately, his belching remains intact; which clashes head on with the skin’s theme. If you can accept that, it’s a good option for Gragas.
At a glance, Grungy Nunu is an unappealing trash-based skin. On closer inspection it reveals a Sesame Street reference but still doesn’t mesh all the elements in an attractive way. If you aren’t a fan of the concept or champion you won’t find much to like.
Groovy Zilean might not be a bad idea but the execution leaves much to be desired. The price is low but the skin barely delivers its theme. Huge Zilean fans or those with a liking for peaceful psychedelia may find something to like.

Conclusion:
Before the year wraps up there’s enough time for one more experiment: to avoid IP farming with the help of RP; no doubt. For that, Viktor and Jarvan IV are the best options. Heimerdinger could be an alternative if you have a severe aversion to such activity but his price is reasonable enough.
In terms of skins, Creator Viktor is too new an invention to be discounted. On top of that, as both his Prototype and Full Machine versions were discounted not long ago skins aren’t a reason to rush.
Warring Kingdoms Jarvan IV still has some skins queued before him to go on sale. Still, it could be offered at a discount on the upcoming Lunar Revel. The rest: Darkforge, Dragon Slayer and Commando were discounted around the middle of the year so while a sale is possible it’s also unlikely.
Finally, Heimerdinger has spent too much time on the lab so only Piltover Customs was discounted on January 2013. Therefore, any of his skins can return at any time. Additionally, Snowmerdinger is currently available so that’s another possibility. Still, as his IP price is manageable you should consider reserving RP for skins instead.
