I’ve been waiting a while for the skin sales to finally have something I don’t already own or have no interest in owning, and it looks like it finally happened. Over the past week I was able to pick up Pharaoh Amumu and Tribal Ryze for a total less than 500 RP. It was a pretty sweet deal, and I hope it keeps coming.

I’d venture a guess that I own at least one skin for nearly all of the champions. There are a few exceptions, of course – Janna and Kassadin off the top of my head – but I like the extra bit of flair the skins add to the game. I’m also happy to throw my money at a game that I’ve enjoyed so immensely over the last 10 months or so. That said, I’ve tried not to buy any full price skins in the last three months or so. I had seen so many skins go on sale that I had already purchased that I just had to start waiting. Glad to see it has finally paid off.

When the Garen patch leaked, so did a whole slew of skins, only some of which were available when Garen went live. According to an official post on the announcement forums, the missing skins will be available soon.

Yes, we’ll finally get a chance to play as Scuba Gragas, Bird of Prey Anivia (worst name ever), and Tribal Ryze. I really like all three skins, so it looks like I’ll be plunking down the cash for a fresh flight of Riot Points. I’m glad to see a non-ice-themed Anivia skin. It could make me play her a bit more often. Scuba Gragas is pretty amazing as well, and though I don’t play Ryze much, I’m a big fan of that skin.

Now, if Riot would just give me an IP option for buying skins (I don’t care if they cost 50,000 IP) I could finally spend the IP I have sitting around.
