So far this Harrowing is a disappointment....

The Harrowing is my favorite event since I've played League, yet this years is looking shitty already. Slayer Jinx? Slayer Pantheon?!? We look forward to actually Halloween-y skins, but we get this? If you haven't seen them go to surrender at 20 and see for yourselves. So far Riot has really fucked this up for me. Remember this is my own opinion, and if you like the skins, please tell me why below. I do like the Zombie Nunu however.

EDIT: Wow a lot of comments on here, surprisingly. I'd really like a Rioter to explain why the zombie thing when it's so very played out and dull.

Those skins are hilariously bad

Best one is Nunu but it's boring as fuck

Jinx doesn't even look like she has anything to do with the Harrowing. Might as well be called Junkyard Jinx

Pantheon looks like Singed, just wtf...

nunu is good. But jinx? The skin is not that great and I didn't even notice it's harrowing skin at the first glance.

I prefer this

Hey guys,

Just wanted to pop in here quick -

As we've mentioned in one of the PBE posts, we're doing things a bit differently this year. We'll be posting an announcement soon that should clear up some things. :]

Apparently, they still think that the Zombie fad is cool. They must watch Walking Dead. So over it.

The slayer skins are really bad. They look more like Mad Max then Halloween. And Jinx already has a semi-dystopian vibe so her skin added nothing new.

Very disappointing this year.

I would have liked to have seen a Trick or Treat Bard skin. I do not like the Pantheon skin that much. The Jinx skin is alright. The Nunu skins is really good. It would have been better to have the Nunu skin with two other Halloween/Shadow Isles skin. The slayer skins don't really look Halloweenish to me.

Zombies I can understand. Zombie Brand was fantastic, and Nunu is no exception.

HOWEVER, if Jinx and Panth are supposed to be 'zombie slayers' they look more like they belong in a Fallout game, not a zombie apocalypse.

So when the Harrowing comes and Bilgewater is still in civil war and unrest, we're going to get...

Zombie Nunu and Pantheon/Jinx teaming up to slay zombies.

Zombies.

Letting that sink in for a moment.

Sorry Riot, as much as I love zombies, (I don't), it just doesn't live up to the hype and excitement for the Harrowing. I get that you don't want to introduce skins in a continuity, but alt universe Pantheon who goes zombie slaying instead of proving the art of war just feels incredibly dissatisfying next to stories about how Nautilus stood strong against the Shadow Isles' armies and forced them in two.

One could fit into official lore, the other honestly just feels like fanfiction. TWD meets League fanfiction. And I'm not that interested.

Hope they'll somehow make it exciting even if the skins presented in the PBE are incredibly dull.

Last year's Harrowing skins was amazing: Underworld Wukong, Ravenborn LeBlanc and Reaper Soraka. This year is pretty lackluster with one that's obviously Harrowing-like, Zombie Nunu, but the others doesn't fit. They look like something that came out of Mad Max/Borderlands. Nothing remotely look Harrowing other than Jinx's recall.

Even Demon Vi and Voodoo Brand skins look more like it belong to the Harrowing event than "Slayers".

I'm sorry, but how are these skins any less "Halloween-y" than say Mundo Mundo, or Kitty Cat Katarina? I love the animations and the old 80's horror movie vibe they bring.
