Overview
A hard rock player, a peculiarly armoured knight and a gargoyle in sunglasses appear in this weekend sale. It seems like a somewhat disappointing sale so let’s get this done.

Conclusion:
While Pentakill Yorick could be a viable option for fans of Slash most will find that the skin doesn’t live up to its theme. The general idea is portrayed with a new model but it doesn’t offer enough for its price. Unless you are a big fan of Yorick it might be better to keep to his line of work.
In spite of an aspect that may not appeal to everyone Armor of the Fifth Age Taric does have a unique style. The main issue is that the changes are limited and don’t go far beyond adding a few elements and a change of colour. It’s a skin with a distinct look but also lacking in features for its price.
The idea behind Commando Galio is implemented in a forceful and unexciting way. The skin feels like a whimsical re-colour that doesn’t know how to represent the theme in an attractive way. The price is low but so is the appeal of the skin. Galio has better options available so this is better left to dedicated fans.

Conclusion:
Both Zed and Swain have access to occult knowledge that allows them to be of certain help when it comes to saving IP. However, Void origin and all, Cho’Gath is better hired with a handful of IP: it shouldn’t take long to reach his reasonable price.
Last September the white uniform of Shockblade Zed warned of the incoming lightning. Surrounded by shadows Zed displayed his mastery over mysterious skills. It was all quite impressive but that’s all there is for now.
The Master Tactician chose to focus his efforts on the first half of 2014. Therefore, in June he wore his Tyrant outfit; a misnomer he’s a kind fellow. In March he visited the Northern Front; just some brief holidays. In February he went to Bilgewater to consult his contacts; all strictly professional. In theory, we should hear from Swain soon but, as a formidable strategist, we should expect to be surprised.
Long time no see Mr. Cho’Gath. It was long ago, in 2013, when this refined gentleman offered his time to study the varied life of the Void. In December he showed us how the Loch Ness monster is just a vision of Void horrors. In November he explained how even in Jurassic times the Void had a clear influence on our world. We sure miss his informative discourses. Let’s hope he can make time to visit soon.
