Kind of funny that they put skins on sale first, then they place the corresponding champion up on sale. Kind of makes people waste money if they want to buy a new skin, they'd have to pay for the champion before the sale for it comes out, since you can't have a skin without the chmpion, don't they?
^ it is indeed funny. but if i am interpreting what you are saying correctly that is why they are posting all of the sales at once. so you can plan for skins you want with any given champ. you can make sure you have the champ before the skin sale. though yeah it would be easier to just put the champ on the same week as the skin, still don't get that.
Thanks to jhoijhoi for my signature!
It would make much more sense (at least to me) if they put up for sale the skins with the corresponding champions. Then people could pick up a new champ and a skin at the same time. From a marketing point of view, I'll bet Riot is thinking that people will pick up a new champ at full price just to be able to get the skin, but I'll also bet that most people will just say "oh well" and not get either, unless you've just got cash to throw around wherever you like.
I am liking the monthly list, though. Build anticipation, lets me know how much RP I should plan on buying, etc.

Hi Summoners,
The bi-weekly sales announcements have been pretty static for a while. Monday/Thursday is a predictable publishing schedule that players are used to, but we've been thinking about a couple of different ways that we could change things up for the better. It's never fun to open up the fridge every few days only to be disappointed that the sandwich you’ve been waiting for isn't there.
One experiment that we are going to try for May's sales only is to simply publish the entire month worth of sales in advance so that players can plan for the champ(s) and skin(s) that they really want to buy. This will be the first of a few small tweaks from the ecommerce team to try and relieve some player pain. If it's well-received, we may bring the experiment back in the future.
Please note: the advance notice moves these sales into the category of pre-announced promotions, meaning that we won't be offering partial refunds on content bought between now and each sale. Mark your calendars!
Below is the entire month of weekly sales for May. If you have thoughts about this change, please let us know in the comments.
