Conclusion:
Not really impressive but certainly appealing is Bladecraft Orianna’s aesthetic. The lethal porcelain doll concept is nicely done and fits Orianna’s unique personality. It could’ve been more but it’s still quite good and a great alternative for fans of the Lady of Clockwork.
Armoured, with a demonic appearance and a distinctive mask are good additions knowing Shen’s mysterious profession. The relationship to the lore is also a welcome touch yet it’s the aspect that ultimately gives the skin its identity. Fans of Shen will find in Blood Moon an interesting option.
A dark suit and a new hair colour are the most distinguishable features of Nightblade Irelia. Regardless, they manage to convey the idea of a kunoichi despite the modest changes. For fans of Irelia, it’s a cheap and appealing choice.

Conclusion:
Technology has solved many problems in today’s world and Viktor offers the best solution to combat IP farming: join the Glorious Evolution. If you aren’t so inclined Yorick can help with his shovel though it’s not as effective. At any rate, Nasus won’t be able to help as much as one would expect: for a farming champion he doesn’t ask for much IP.
While we await the long overdue visit of the Creator we find that Viktor seems to be delayed this year. His Full Machine version hasn’t been seen since December and his Prototype since October of last year. Maybe he’s preparing something in that workshop of his.
Another one that seems averse to sales is Yorick. His Undertaker suit hasn’t been offered since October and his Pentakill acts since September of last year. Who knows why it’s taking him so long?
Nasus can’t be considered a fan of sales either but at least he did visit in February: in full, friendly Dreadknight set of armour. Maybe there’s a message in all of this. After all, if we consider that his Pharaoh outfit was last discounted on September and his Galactic gear on August of last year, something is going on.
