Conclusion:
A bit of recreation and a bit of labour are represented in this week’s sale. Whether you want to enjoy the waves, hit the arcade or visit a ranch there’s something here. So, let’s give the respective representatives a quick look.
Surfer Singed embraces its style with simplicity and humour. However, the adaptation is hardly smooth and the aspect can stay funny for only so long. If you particularly like the concept it delivers but it also shows its age.
Arcade Sona is a fabulous skin with an eye-catching display of 8-bit nostalgia in both particles and sounds. Sona’s aspect isn’t bad either as her Etwahl nicely embodies the theme and she looks quite nice. At its usual price it’s a bit expensive but, while on sale, no Sona fan should ignore it.
Longhorn Alistar may be a simple skin but it’s quite effective nonetheless. The concept is cleverly chosen and, even if far from flawless, the execution results in an appealing skin. It may not provide enough to win new followers but Longhorn Alistar is certainly a good option for fans of the minotaur.

Conclusion:
There are ways of avoiding IP farming but few would disagree that Lulu can be quite original: how about turning the whole farm into a huge cupcake? Talon’s efforts are also effective though hardly as whimsical. At least, there’ll be no trouble cutting the cupcake in fair portions. Meanwhile, Captain Teemo stands guard to the whole ordeal: as his IP price is quite low he doesn’t contribute as much.
In terms of looks, it’ll take a while before Lulu covers the Fields of Justice in Bittersweet confectionery; as she did so a few weeks ago. Her draconic influence will also have to wait as a Dragon Trainer will be difficult to find after November. The same applies to her Wicked ways as October seems rather recent too.
Someone who has been dissuaded from being a Renegade is Talon; as the end of November seems to have been enough. The Crimson Elite also stay far since last October they brought their business around. However, the Blade’s Shadow is expectantly sharpening his Dragonblade as his arrival is imminent.
Now if you want to dress your Teemo in fancy ways there are some things to consider. We had the Recon gear on February and the Panda outfit on January, so that’s out of the way, but the Super suit was worn on September; which sounds good. What’s better is that the Cottontail hasn’t been around since last April so expect to hop around people soon.
