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...
Honestly 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:
I 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.
thanks 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.........
Guess 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.
Got hyped all year for nothing :(
I'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!!!
Why do I feel like we're being Tricked before we are Treated?
2013 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.
Im 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.
I had higher hopes for skins this year. They're not bad, but they're not great either.
Season 3 Haunted Zyra and Officer Vi never forget.
To 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.
Green wukong from last year was the worst by far.
This 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).
I 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
Well it's my first Harrowing with league of legends so i have nothing to base this off of :D
School. 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.
Like, 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).
Worst 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.
Yep.
Hey, does anyone want me to roast the 3 skins?
Whoever 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.
The 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.
Nah i really like these skins these
i like how the other post saying they hated this harrowing has 16 upvotes XD, atleast someones opinion is respected.
I'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.
