Conclusion:
Celestine Soraka has a simple yet fitting theme for her. As a cleric she’s reasonably battle-ready while also elegantly dressed. The striking new particles add a great spectacle to her performance making the skin quite pleasing to watch. All in all, it’s a great skin for fans of healers.
AstroNautilus is a skin that makes an effort to justify its price. A first look might place it among funny skins but the design manages to be reasonable and appealing. The particles and animations further the theme and help define its distinct identity. It may not be an eye-catching skin but it’s a charming option.
Galactic Renekton has a humble price but the execution goes beyond the usual to re-interpret him as an alien warrior. The model changes are significant and succeed at providing a futuristic feel. There’s no doubt that there’s room for improvement but, at this price, it’s a great choice for fans of sci-fi.

Conclusion:
On the Hunt for IP? Trust a professional and let Rengar take care of it all. There are also other kinds of specialists. If you prefer discretion then Kennen can take care of you IP savings. Olaf is the final option if you prefer a full frontal assault on the issue. However, as they transition away from the hunter role their effectiveness slowly decreases.
In terms of skins, the Headhunter guild hasn’t discounted its membership fee since last July. The available alternative is the upcoming Nighthunter guild but there won’t be a generous sale soon. Fans of Rengar will have to be patient, as a good hunter.
Kennen offered cheap Karate lessons almost a month ago. That’s part of his franchise which also included Arctic Ops at a discount; last offered on December. However, what really stands out is his Deadly red suit: it’s perfect for celebrating the upcoming one year anniversary without a sale in May.
Finally, Olaf sold his affordable Glacial gear last December. Previously, he had Pentakill tickets at a discount on August and a sale on his Forsaken outfit on July. The life of a Viking can be hard when you can’t plunder and if sales don’t come often then it can be a challenge; just the way he likes it.
