Conclusion:
With an interesting new look, different particles and some extra animations Jade Fang Cassiopeia is a skin that does more than the usual to deliver its theme. The concept might not be revolutionary but the execution does more than enough to make it a fantastic skin. Fans of the Serpent’s Embrace shouldn’t miss it.
Once, Headhunter Master Yi was one of the best skins with its fancy particles. Those particles have been sadly lost to a visual upgrade and now it’s a skin that is just alright. The model is appealing but nothing really remarkable at its price. Currently, there are better options though this one still has its unique identity.
The idea of turning Anivia into a bald eagle isn’t bad but Bird of Prey does nothing to integrate her ice powers. Therefore, we find a good re-texture that seems placed on top of Anivia and left to work as is. Due to the low price, it’s a distinct enough look that is attractive if one can forgive the implementation.

Conclusion:
To save on IP, so as to farm as little as possible, Braum can lend a strong helping hand. Volibear can be a good option too, though not as good his furry claws are effective. Heimerdinger’s genius can be revolutionary in science but with regards to IP his price is reasonable enough that it’s not a complex equation to solve.
With Dragonslayer Braum still awaiting a sale it could be a good time to get ready. There’s no telling when his Dragonslayer suit of armour will reach a sale so there’s only hope in that regard. Besides, he lacks any alternatives so there’s nothing else to wait for.
Fans of Volibear may find that a new skin sale will require an unbearable wait. That’s because he already visited in his Thunder Lord outfit in September, his Runeguard armour in July and his Northern Storm gear in May. Therefore, chances are we won’t be seeing our ursine friend in a while.
While still asking for a premium when dealing in HazMat affairs a sale on those services should come; eventually. In the meantime, Heimerdinger prefers his Blast Zone to tests new devices; in August he had to put up a sale to cover costs. Fortunately, he can always take a break and work at Piltover Customs though he hasn’t had time since January to do so; maybe soon.
