Conclusion:
With drink firmly in hand along comfortable and practical clothing Pool Party Lee Sin is a skin with a clear and modest identity. There are a few extra touches besides the new model but nothing that makes the skin stand out. Fans of Lee Sin may find it an option to consider.
In spite of the high price, iBlitzcrank is the Steam Golem’s best skin. With a varied and pleasing array of particles, animations and sounds, added to a very nice model, the skin goes an extra step to be special. Being on sale, it’s now the ideal opportunity to catch iBlitzcrank.
With a low price and a questionable concept Prom Queen Annie is a skin that may not suit everyone. The aspect is well done but also close to that of an attractive tween, something that shouldn’t pollute Annie’s little girl persona. For its price it’s not a bad skin but it’s also one that might tread on dangerous ground.

Conclusion:
Disintegrate all need for IP farming with the all-seeing eye of Vel’Koz. Get away from it all with the professional help of Talon; which isn’t as radical. Eliminate all traces of opposition with Akali’s kamas; though her IP needs are reasonable.
In terms of skins, the Battlecast version of Vel’Koz is a tempting option but one that’s still a while away from sales. It’ll come eventually but there are others queued before so, patience is necessary.
Talon’s specific line of work requires blending with the surroundings. Sometimes, it’s necessary to give a message and a Crimson Elite uniform is a clear statement; as it was in August. In April, he mixed in the Lunar Revel celebrations with his Dragonblade outfit, which only leaves his Renegade clothing; last seen on November. Chances are that a mission on the streets is to come but, when?
Being a kunoichi isn’t exactly profitable so Akali, like her ninja friends, explore other professions. In case espionage is necessary her Silverfang services are available and were cheaper on July. She also has a basic line of Stinger task, as she demonstrated in June, and health care as a Nurse; as she showed in May. This all leaves little free time but she never misses a Blood Moon and last March was no exception. For this year, it seems like Akali has had her hands full.
