I think these are the worst harrowing skins we've seen so far in any year. Does anyone else agree? Really bad job on this one skins team. You had a really good opportunity, AND ALSO JINX HAS GOTTEN A SKIN THIS YEAR AND PANTHEON HAS 7 SKINS! c'mon riot, they coulda at least been good skins...
TheDevice10 votesHonestly it's not about whether we asked for them or not; thats irrelevant.
The issue is how... un halloweeny this seems lol. Like, It just feels like some DayZ spinoff or something. Trying to reel in that demographic of zombie-loving gamers I suppose.. ugh.
Yeah I too look forward to the harrowing every year and this, for me, was a disappointment.
I feel like this sums it all up:

Angelofchaos16x5 votesI liked all 3 skins, but I feel like they are out of place, other then Nunu. The Slayer skins are ok, but they do not feel harrowing-like at all. I was expecting other skins. If the slayers where released within 2 patches or whatever, it would be fine.
AlphaKappaPika5 votesthanks to everyone who voted in the poll, pretty interesting data tbh, i was expecting 2010 and 2014. didn't realize that a lot of people didn't like 2013. though 2010 did give birth to the best skin in the game... lollipoppy. and dat 2014 ravenborn lb thoo.........
TeemoJenkins4 votesGuess what buddy? Don't like em, don't buy em! Concept is crazy, I know... or just bitch on the forums like a spoiled child, more power to you.

someone has a bug up their ass, can i not be pissed that riot wasted an amazing opportunity?, i don't plan on buying them. I mean I just made a post about how they are shit? why would I buy them?!?!
Lintu Puck2 votesthank you. It seems just about everything causes people to get pissy here on the forums.
Habitz3 votesGot hyped all year for nothing :(
InsatiableDesire3 votesI'm sure I'm the minority here, but I actually like these three skins. Obviously this year's event is going to be about a zombie outbreak. These two slayer skins are most likely the first in this newly developed dual skin line. Now instead of just zombies, you'll also have their counterparts, the "zombie"-slayers.
They are not "costumed" skins like some of the others from previous years. They are "zombie outbreak" themed. I for one can't wait until there are at least 5 zombie skins and at least 5 slayer skins so you can do full 5v5 games in this theme :D These slayer skins fit PERFECTLY as the opposite skins in this duo! Riot did an amazing job designing them!
This community will always complain. Everyone will bitch and moan about not getting what they want. I agree that there are so many awesome concepts out there for Harrowing skins, but all that does is snuff out any cool skins that ACTUALLY come out. I would say that the biggest reason the community loved the Vi and Brand skins so much is just because they came out of nowhere. They weren't consumed by this over-hyped event.
Keep up the good work Riot, you're skin team is absolutely amazing!
Bring on the downvotes!!!

the issue, is not that the zombie apocalypse is necessarily a bad "theme" (though imo its completely overused, and doesn't fit well) its that... IT HAS 0 TO DO WITH HALLOWEEN AND THE HARROWING, these skins could have been released ANY other time of the year. Instead, the skin team wasted the harrowing on this overused zombie apocalypse bullsh*t!
Tamur2 votesWhy do I feel like we're being Tricked before we are Treated?
CubedJustice1 votesThat would be great. However, the skins are already active on the PBE.
Tamur1 votesYes but we still got at least 17 days till The Harrowing ends
Vanjie1 votesWe are not being tricked or treated. It has been said that this is what we are getting. They are not making anymore skins for the Harrowing or Halloween. As usual, we have to wait another year for Riot to fix their f*ckups.
AlphaKappaPika1 votesHey, does anyone want me to roast the 3 skins?
IYuck FasuoI1 votesJamason you are fucking toxic im reporting you so many times to right-tooooo
AlphaKappaPika1 votesWhoever said 2013 was the worst, can I ask your reasoning? Is it because they are permanent. Personally I thought that officer vi and especially haunted zyra were pretty sweet skins.
Sukishoo1 votesI loved them too, though Officer Vi felt more like "Halloween Dress up time!" though they've done that before with others like Headmistress Fiora.
Vanjie1 votesThe only skin I do not like is the Pantheon one. I am happy to see Jinx and Nunu get new skins. I am a little disappointed we did not get a Trick or Treat Bard skin. Trick or Treat Bard has been highly sought after on the forums and it works really well with his concept. I do not play any of those champions so I do not necessarily care. The new skins are not bad though.

I actually like the nunu one, and it fits well. but the jinx and the pantheon skin, at least it my opinion.. Suck donkey dick. They could have been labeled as "vandal" skins (which is basically what they are) and should have been released at another point in the year, they really have nothing to do with harrowing. the nunu skin is alright with me tho, it looks amazing.

Awe they are not bad. The Pantheon skin is not very good. I guess it is just a matter of opinion and taste. I think the Nunu skin is fugly but that is what the skin is. It is supposed to be a nasty looking zombie. I don't like gory looking things so I won't play it but it does look neat. Jinx is played a lot and I am happy she has a new skin.
I still would have liked to have seen a Trick or Treat Bard skin.
GreenLore1 votesI dunno how these look vandal to you.
Vandal skins are supposed to look like bikers,but jinx and pantheon look like they are out of some post-apocalyptic( specifically zombie-apocalypse) world.
AlphaKappaPika1 votesi like how the other post saying they hated this harrowing has 16 upvotes XD, atleast someones opinion is respected.
ForgottenLuck1 votesNah i really like these skins these
AlphaKappaPika3 votesNah i really like these skins these
can i ask why? what draws you to these skins over the other harrowing skins. i like the zombie nunu but the slayer skins are just utter garbage imo
ForgottenLuck1 votesI can't really say anything about slayer Jinx since I personally did not like it (did not think it was garbage just preference) but Slayer Pan, I love it for how it look's, like I can actually imagine it being worn for a zombie apocalypse plus the chainsaw noises just sounded so good even with the ult it was just a hit for me, I for one don't really understand the dislike for them would you mind explaining that to me they seem awesome (even the Jinx one though again it was my least favorite of the 3).
CubedJustice1 votesThe hate comes from the fact that they don't fit the Harrowing theme. The Harrowing has previously been a ghouls and goblins sort of thing, and everybody seemed to love it. Plus, Riot has released new champions who would be very good candidates for those traditionally Harrowing like skin. Such as 
ForgottenLuck1 votesWhile this is a way to see it I prefer to see life for what I got and not what I don't got since if I live like that I find I'll never be able to experience true joy, and as for fitting in to the Harrowing skin them they fit as much as cop vi and headmistress Fiora did, in my overall view of the Harrowing I don't find it something that is always strictly to one form but can change depending on the people and the time.
Deep Terror Nami1 votesI'm disappointed, but I'll just not buy them or worry about it :( At least they have some great skins coming out in 5.20, and we can still look forward to the winter holiday skins.
GreenLore1 votes2013 was the worst for me. It only gave us 2 skins and even though I really like those skins,officer vi really didn't fit the harrowing very well.(so essentially haunted zyra is the only skin that was relased back then that felt like a halloween skin).It felt a bit like they just threw her in there.(don't get me wrong,officer vi is a really cool skin,it just didn't fit the harrowing at all).
2014 was also rather meh,since ravenborn leblanc and underworld wukong both seemed rather unimpressive,though I'd count reaper soraka towards the 2014-harrowing skins(it was just a bit late) and that skin is pretty cool.
iBubbles1 votesIm not even made about them being for people who have skins. They are all just terrible skins. And i main jinx, im still waiting on a decent skin for her.

u have to admit firecracker jinx is amazing, so much detail on that skin, it even got a place in jeremy and sunnysplosions best skins video. idk tho. i dont own it.
Vexatiously2 votesEhh I love Jinx but Firecracker just was not what i wanted in a jinx skin, her auto attacks are nice but that's the only thing i like. Her model isn't appealing to me, nether are her w, e, and r.
A new VO, something to show her personality some more. Particles are nice but i love when a skin shows a champ in a new light.That is just my opinion though.

Alright I see where you are coming from there. although you cant say the r isn't nice too XD
iBubbles1 votesYa I'm not a fan of the skin. Her basic attacks and ult look cool. But I didn't like the skin enough to buy it, not even close. :c
MÖRTIMER1 votesHer last skin was good.
Adrian Blackbear1 votesI had higher hopes for skins this year. They're not bad, but they're not great either.
Arsenic Sulfur1 votesSeason 3 Haunted Zyra and Officer Vi never forget.
Ligerzz1 votesTo be honest the skins aren't all bad, it's just the slayer skins hardly fit the theme for the harrowing. Nunu definitely fits the theme well though.
PapaGreg211 votesGreen wukong from last year was the worst by far.
Rambi1 votesThis year easily has the worst skins. I've felt that it was pretty egregious that they've only been releasing 2-3 Harrowing skins in the past few years when other patches have 5-8 skins, but this is probably because there's less international appeal for holiday skins. But even for only three skins, these are abysmal. Zombie Nunu is the best of the three obviously, but I think it would have made much more sense for him to be Frankenstein/Igor with Willump as Frankenstein's monster.
It's obvious that one person on the skins team had an idea for "zombie slayers," and they forced the rest of the team to shoe horn it into the Harrowing. If they had released it at any other time, you'd never guess that Jinx and Pantheon were supposed to be ZOMBIE slayers. They could be in ANY post-apocalyptic world. They might as well be Mad Max or Borderlands skins. But they wanted everyone to know that they specifically fought ZOMBIES so they had to release them for the Harrowing. Such an utter cop out, and I'm even more disappointed than I've been the past two years (which is saying a lot).
MoloMan8D1 votesI hope they re relase zombie brand for this because then we'll have a grudge match between them like with the battleboss/arcade.
P.S I seriously LOVE the Nunu skin. The other ones are kinda shit but the nunu one makes this harrowing AWESOME. I just love his ult and that his arms are flailing when he uses his W

MrryZ1 votesWell it's my first Harrowing with league of legends so i have nothing to base this off of :D
Doctor Jarvis1 votesSchool. Teacher. Fiora. Is a Harrowing skin. #neverforget EDIT I just looked it up and seriously 2012 was the worst. Pirate Ryze? Headmistress Fiora? Sure we got classic Zombie Brand but man those other two...I see the similarity.
SSJTribe1 votesLike, the skins themselves aren't bad, and I'd love them in any normal update... but these Slayer skins are not 'Harrowing' at all. (Zombie Nunu is fine).
TurquoiseYoshi1 votesWorst Harrowing ever? That's not really anywhere near true. 2013 and 2014 were pretty crap. I can't see these (admittedly cool) Jinx and Nunu and (pretty crap) Panth skins being worse than 2 skins, with one just being a "OooOoOooOooOOoOH I'm spooooooooookyyyyy" for Wukong and Zyra, and then off-topic skins for Vi and LeBlanc.
Vanjie1 votesYep.
