The Harrowing
Last year in October, we got a pretty cool story, Shadow and Fortune, with some Shadow Isles champion bios, but the pseudo-Harrowing Zombie skins and the legacy Harrowing skins were released later, in November.
Riot came out with a pretty strong defense of their decision to unpair the Harrowing and Halloween. Here's a little summary:
-
"A note about the Harrowing" (from PBE Boards)
-
"In Runeterra, the Harrowing can strike any day of the year"
-
"It means that we can just do a cool story, a cool game-mode, or cool skins whenever we want"
The only Harrowing content I can remember since this announcement is Yorick's rework, which I enjoyed, but it seems like it isn't worth separating the Harrowing and Halloween. On top of this, the skins and game-mode that we have on the PBE look like Riot is moving back towards pre-2015 Harrowing. I don't expect Riot to start talking about the Harrowing for a little while, but I'm already excited for Halloween. What do you think about this year's Harrowing?
Also, if Riot has released any other Harrowing content that I'm forgetting about, please let me know. I'd love to see it.
