Conclusion:
From were-wolf to were-hyena, Hyena Warwick is direct but effective and appealing. The model is eloquent with a certain wasteland angle that may try to explain things. The animations are a highlight of the skin that add to the personality which is cemented by the frequent laughter. If you like a skin to offer a different view of a champion then Hyena Warwick is a great choice.
Dressed as a demonic ninja Blood Moon Shen has a clearly appealing aesthetic. The fact that the skin also draws from the often ignored lore is a feature worth considering for fans. There’re only model changes and a lore reference on offer but both are interesting. So, if you are a fan of ninjas and Ionia this is a skin worth keeping in mind.
Being little more than a reference to the Sinister Blade’s original style Mercenary Katarina doesn’t do much to realize its suggested concept. The new textures bring a set of new colours and that’s all the skin offers besides the homage. Therefore, unless you are feeling particularly nostalgic this isn’t a very attractive skin.

Conclusion:
Bury the world in ice and all IP farming will cease to be. Radical, but Lissandra knows how to be decisive to save IP. Darkness, provided by everyone’s favourite nightmare Nocture, can also be an effective tool but the Sun tends to rise again sooner or later. Finally, Veigar is too busy scheming to worry about IP. In fact, you won’t need much IP to convince the Master of Evil to give you a hand and he certainly won’t make you feel shortchanged.
Still awaiting the visit of the Blade Queen in the realm of sales we find that we may have to wait a bit for Lissandra to make a return. Even though the Ice Witch brought some Bloodstone with her on June we haven’t heard of her again. Seeing as there’s little space in sales we’ll have to be patient.
A nightmare can’t really be recurring if he doesn’t come time and again, now can it? Nocturne may be eternal but as far as visits go he doesn’t drop by often. Since August we haven’t felt the horrors brought by the Ravager of dreams and, to make matters worse, it was in April when we could experience Frozen Terror. This could be considered slacking off.
With time full of plots and plans it leaves little to visiting sales. Coming around as a Leprechaun in November doesn’t really count. As a Superb Villian, as he gloated in August, Veigar should keep himself to certain standards. He shouldn’t go around dressing up in Greybeard and pretending that’s enough. If he’s got a master plan he should put it in motion and next time he visits have the world under his iron grip. What about his reputation?
