Overview

Four bundles appear as April starts to wave goodbye. A couple tend to favour legacy skins, which is an interesting characteristic, while the other two tend to include expensive skins; which can be a double-edged blade. Where does this all end? In a sale overview, as you may expect, so let’s give these bundles a good look.

Lethal Ladies

Discount: 50%
Total Price: 9986 -> 4993 RP
Skins’ Price: 5398 -> 2699 RP

In spite of the wide range of skin prices this is a rather nice bundle. All the skins have attractive features that set them apart from others as well as reasonable prices; for the most part. Snow Day Syndra could’ve been more interesting but the sale helps make the high price less of an issue. Order of the Lotus Irelia may seem simple among such elaborate company but it’s a skin that doesn’t disappoint. Overall, this is a fine bundle with good skins. You have to consider whether the mentioned skins’ characteristics aren’t an obstacle because, if you like the champions, the bundle has good options to offer in all cases.

Tough Top

Discount: 50%
Total Price: 8956 -> 4478 RP
Skins’ Price: 5262 -> 2631 RP

The true highlights of this bundle are Pool Party Renekton and Battle Regalia Poppy. They aren’t the most impressive skins yet have fitting identities and are well done. Sadly, the other skins aren’t particularly impressive; even the legacy ones. The discount does alleviate the uneven feel of Snow Day Gnar but there’s nothing that can be done for Alien Invader Heimerdinger. It’s just too simple a re-model even at 910 RP. Warlord Shen is an alright skin with potential for much more. Therefore, this is a clearly uneven bundle that will convince only those that find the irregular selection appealing.

Legacy League

Discount: 50%
Total Price: 8096 -> 4048 RP
Skins’ Price: 4792 -> 2396 RP

Legacy fans will find this bundle a fascinating proposition: a set of five legacy skin at a 50% discount. What’s the catch? You have to accept outdated and simplistic skins. That doesn’t mean that they aren’t attractive but a re-model like Candy Cane Miss Fortune doesn’t fit anymore at 975 RP. Earnest Elf Tristana shares that problem in that it’s rather simple even at its low price; a legacy of the old times. The three other skins are good and though Snowstorm Sivir and Lunar Wraith Caitlyn aren’t as convincing as Bewitching Nidalee they’re still fine skins. If you can accept the concessions the bundle asks for then you’ll find a handful of legacy skins at a very nice price. It could’ve been a much better bundle but it’s not bad at all so, it’s worth considering.

Total Knock Up

Discount: 50%
Total Price: 10182 -> 5091 RP
Skins’ Price: 6374 -> 3187 RP

Finally, this bundle has two evident stars: Dragon Fist Lee Sin and Glacial Malphite. These two, despite their dissimilar technical merits are worthwhile skins that fans of each champion would much enjoy. The real problem is the other three: skins at the hardly inconsequential 1350 RP price. They share the same problem which is that they charge too much for what they offer. The discount helps but there’re many other skins at this price that do a much better job; even at lower prices skins offer as much or more. If these skins are of interest then the bundle can be for you. However, be mindful that they are expensive and don’t justify the expense as thoroughly as they should.
