Overview
A monk bent on balance, a scientist bent on transhumanism and a mummy bent on his bed and crying. We go from better to worse but that’s often how things go in life. Let’s see what we can do about it.

Conclusion:
The idea behind Order of the Lotus Karma is suitable and attractive. The lotus motif can feel imposed at times but the overall mysticism of the skin is appealing. It may not be all that it could’ve been but it’s probably Karma’s best skin and an appealing alternative for fans.
Standing at the height of his evolution Creator Viktor proposes a view that distils the essence of the Machine Herald. The implementation does a lot to develop the theme but the reuse of its particles by the other skins means that it’s no longer as unique as it once was. Regardless, it’s a great option for fans of Viktor that want to join the Glorious Evolution in full force.
Following the oft-repeated depression angle of many of Amumu’s skins Emumu makes him more evidently emo but without much effort. Surely, not much is necessary to accommodate the new theme but the skin also doesn’t do much in that regard. As a different take on the Sad Mummy it’s a passable idea but better on concept than in execution.

Conclusion:
While both Darius and Galio ask for almost as much RP the former helps save a bit more IP than the latter. Both are somewhat expensive but when IP is lacking RP suffices. Granted, Darius may need more money to keep his manor than Galio does to polish his wings but they aren’t far apart. Jax doesn’t have such problems. Just give him a handful of IP and he’ll grab the nearest lamppost and start pummelling your enemies with joy; such a simple, happy life.
Busy year for Darius this 2015 has been. In August, he took the throne as Woad King, in May he was the Lord of the manor and in March he put the Bioforge suit to test with glowing results. For the time being that’s all from him but we’re sure we’ll see him again soon. After all, everybody enjoys a good dunk.
Galio isn’t known for his varied showcases of styles. That’s why it comes as no surprise that we only saw him twice this year: Enchanted in September and as a Commando in January. In theory, he should be returning to sales soon but, who can truly know what’s in the mind of a gargoyle?
It’s too early for any Warden apparitions on the market so Jax’s largely legacy wardrobe has little to offer. Specifically, we only saw him training at the Temple in September and becoming a dangerous Nemesis in July. Until more is added to the selection we’ll have to be content with that; unless the Grandmaster has something to say about it.
