Overview
As has become a habit: a month ends and a quartet of bundles bids it farewell. Like in many other opportunities the skins are segregated by role, more or less. From the most aggressive styles to clever alternatives of winning a match the selection is as eclectic as we should be used to. As always, there’s no real advantage to buying in bulk; the discount is identical to a regular sale. That said, we’ll have to see if there’s something interesting amidst the chaos. Shall we put things in order?
Backline Divers
Discount: 50%
Total Price: 8958 -> 4479 RP
Skins’ Price: 5174 -> 2587 RP
The high point of the bundle is clearly Super Galaxy Shyvana. The other skins aren’t bad but most are simple re-models. Firefang Warwick has a few extra additions and so does Warring Kingdoms Jarvan IV but they aren’t as significant and satisfying as they should and could be. Truth be told, while there’s nothing bad this bundle may be better left aside in favour of regular sales.
Gray Screen Gifters
Discount: 50%
Total Price: 9802 -> 4901 RP
Skins’ Price: 5398 -> 2699 RP
While Dragonblade Talon may seem like the best skin in the bundle there’s more to see. Both expensive skins, Headhunter Akali and PROJECT: Zed are rather charming despite not reaching the whole potential of their concepts. The rest are re-models, fine ones, but nothing extraordinary either. If you only care about the best skins then this bundle isn’t rounded well enough.
Why’d You Fight? I Was Splitting
Discount: 50%
Total Price: 8210 -> 4105 RP
Skins’ Price: 5022 -> 2511 RP
This is a bundle with many interesting skins. For the most part skins do a good effort at standing out. Even Nightmare Tryndamere which is only a re-model has quite its distinct appeal. The low point is Headhunter Master Yi which, after the visual upgrade, has lost its charm. What once was a unique skin with eye-catching particles was essentially transformed into a bare re-model. If such a letdown isn’t a problem the rest won’t disappoint. If you want more than re-models then it’s better to get the specific skins you like in regular sales.
Your Tower Tickles
Discount: 50%
Total Price: 8516 -> 4258 RP
Skins’ Price: 4798 -> 2399 RP
There’s nothing unexpected in finding a bundle with some great skins and others that, while good, aren’t at the same level. Specifically, the re-models can feel simplistic in comparison with the most elaborate ones. Bear Cavalry Sejuani and Ironside Malphite are quite good, even Guardian of the Sands Rammus has its charm so, if the others aren’t good enough, regular sales are the solution.
