Conclusion:
For being Jinx’s only skin Mafia is rather good. It does help a lot if you like her cabaret style and isn’t without its idiosyncrasies. Regardless, it’s a good skin so if you want something different for her it offers a fine alternative.
While her casual clothes don’t impress her controller-based Etwahl communicates the message quite clearly. The new particles and sounds cement Arcade Sona’s appealing identity and justify the high price. Being now on sale, fans of Sona and video games will find much to like.
With a mere new model added to a lot of style and meaning Crimson Elite Riven is a wonderful skin. It can be considered modest but it’s also a significant look at her Noxian past that is as stylish as it is attractive. Considering its low price no fan of Riven should ignore it.

Conclusion:
Technology solves many problems like avoiding IP farming: this week Jayce shows that anything can be fixed with a big hammer. Unrelenting arcane power also has its uses and Xerath also helps avoid a good amount of farming; though not as much. Conversely, there’s no reason to buy Fiddlesticks as his IP price is quite manageable.
Last February Debonair Jayce showed what it means to have style. Therefore, it’s only suitable that Jayce returns to his Full Metal armour soon. It hasn’t been seen since last December so it’s about time.
Xerath may be a being of pure magical energy but as long as he has a sarcophagus with him then style will matter. That’s why last September he tried the Battlecast line and in August a Runeborn angle. This year, all that is left is the Scorched Earth; last seen on December 2013.
With the amount of skins that Fiddlesticks has that aren’t eligible for sales it’s unusual to find him here. Nevertheless, he’s known for requests like Fiddle Me Timbers, in September, or walks dressed like a Bandito, in July. This year he’s yet to make his Spectral presence felt, as he did in November 2013, but we are confident he will; he always does.
