You've said it was because there was a mix-up w/ release scheduling, and yet it's been more than HALF A YEAR since we first saw mention of the infamous Karthus emote.

I'm still waiting Riot, I'll never STOP waiting, and I'm gonna keep reminding yall about it until it finally shows.

They gave it to Jinx instead.

Lets make it a daily reminder on the boards and reddit.

Give Karthus what he deserves. He's wrecking as a jungler in EU pro right now. Give icon.

With the "Hurr Durr, It's coming out with Harrowing" completely null & void now, it's safe to assume this Karthus emote has been discarded & replaced by Jinx. There's no reason for Riot to hold on to an emote this long if they were saving it. Seriously, how much rescheduling would they need for an emote?

It be one thing if they at least gave Karthus players another emote to compensate. But nah, let's give Jinx 4 emotes instead.

They could at least come out & say it has been discarded. That way players can stop asking for it & move on. The silent treatment isn't helping the situation.

Sorry, Jinx is cuter than Karthus.

The tears coming from his eyes in the emote are actually tears of sadness due to not being released.

If they put this into the game it would be the most egregious example of pay to bm since Lux and the dabbing penguin.

Karthus one looks way better than Jinx. I bet it's cause they think it looks too "toxic".

I heard it looks like some Chinese emperor or something so China would ban league if it was implemented.

That hasn't been released yet!? Jesus! What are they waiting for, I mean is there a reason?

I'd bet good money it's because Tencent, a Chinese tech company which owns the majority of Riot shot the Karthus emote down.

I heard in China bones or skeletons are taboo or something hence why Karthus is a shadowy clothed figure in their client.

Wait. Was Karthus used at worlds last time?

Leaked: they are actually saving it for the Super Secret Karthus Rework coming after the sisters' rework
