Overview
Another month ends and another quartet of bundles arrives with a varied array of skins. The themes to group the skins are the skill to dash around, being from out of this world and the ability to pick fights. A guess that the criteria don’t easily get good skins together is reasonable. However, is that what really happens? Only one way to find out: let’s check the bundles.
Flash & Dash
Discount: 50%
Total Price: 10778 -> 5389 RP
Skins’ Price: 6374 -> 3187 RP
Overall there aren’t any bad skins in this bundle. The problem is that the less convincing ones are rather unimpressive considering their price tier. Whereas other skins would have some unique features that set them apart this trio of three star skins settles for acceptable adaptations. They are still appealing and even more so Blood Moon Kennen and Super Galaxy Fizz. On the other hand if only these last two skins are of interest, or a few of all included, then there would be too many extras for the whole bundle to be worthwhile.
Stranger Danger
Discount: 50%
Total Price: 10026 -> 5013 RP
Skins’ Price: 5622 -> 2811 RP
Much like the previous bundle, this one has two skins, Frozen Terror Nocturne and Arclight Vel’Koz, that stand out and three others that are sufficiently good but just that. The three star skins remain interesting but more is expected from them. Therefore, it may be worthwhile to concentrate on getting the individual ones that are of interest. As a whole, there’s nothing bad in this bundle but some of the skins are starting to show their age; especially considering their price tier.
Otherworldly
Discount: 50%
Total Price: 10294 -> 5147 RP
Skins’ Price: 5998 -> 2999 RP
It’s said that third time’s the charm but this third bundle is as uneven as the previous ones. There’s Blood Moon Zilean soaring with Galactic Azir above the other three star skins. Again, just because they have three stars it doesn’t mean they are bad yet they don’t have features that make them sufficiently remarkable at their price tier. While nothing strikes at bad the overall feel is of mixed feelings with skins that manage to impress and others that sometimes seem not to be even trying.
Scrappy Duelists
Discount: 50%
Total Price: 8964 -> 4482 RP
Skins’ Price: 5246 -> 2623 RP
The last bundle is almost a quintessential example of unevenness. There are skins as evocative as Dragon Fist Lee Sin, as interesting yet outdated as Bloodfury Renekton or Nurse Akali and with fantastic yet inconsistent visual displays as Warring Kingdom Xin Zhao; all finished by a skin that was understandably retired. In this last case, Angler Jax is a skin that offers little yet asks for a fair bit. At this price tier much more is expected than some model changes and its legacy label isn’t really a plus. Truth be told, this bundle is too eclectic in a bad way. Unless you specifically had this list of skins ready for a purchase it’s better to just concentrate on the ones you like; one by one.
