Demon Vi or Spiritfire Brand alone are better Harrowing-Skins than the ones on the PBE combined.
Riot, are you sure you didn't swap things up with what was simple trash to release and the real Harrowing Skins? Because it really feels like that.

I honestly thought Brand and Vi were the Harrowing skins.
I have no problem with the skins, hell I would probably get the Jinx one regardless BUT it's not Harrowing themed... it's not even Halloween themed
These skins (Slayers) could have come out at any time during the year Why waste the harrowing for them?
I come to play in this time of year for the creepy music, the Shadow Isles Lore, the azure/green color scheme that everything gets
Harrowing has always been the most awesome unique thing LoL had And they are switching it for Zombie apocalypse? the most generic of horror themes?
Even if it's just this year, it's an entire year in which I will not be able to celebrate the Harrowing...
Let me try to explain, imagine if suddenly christmas stopped being a red/green theme about family and gift giving and started being a purple/orange theme about science and WW2 history
I would be inconceivable right?
The Harrowing has become a tradition for me, it's part of my big Yearly celebrations And frankly... you have ruined it...
I expected Baker Pantheon 
I agree xD these skins are terrible! But the Vi and Brand skins are really cool looking!
Zombie Nunu looks decent, the other two look like....like they were raiders taken from Fallout NV.
Nah I really like these skins
Demon Vi is an incredibly good harrowing skin.
It doesn't surprise me that these skins are not really thematic to the holiday anymore. I think it was 2013 on down that the skins for Harrowing/Snowdown haven't really been represented as they were in the past, like Kitty Cat Katarina, or Workshop Nunu. We are now getting things like the Winter Wonder line, or for Harrowing some creepy line like last years Shadow Isles skins. Even the "Santa" hat that Baron got last year was just a regular snow hat, just look at the thing, it wasn't St. Nicks topper at all.
That being said, the skins are still good quality, and I may be picking up Jinx's at least.
Hey man, I like the new nunu skin.
We also get a physical incarnation of death for the Harrowing.
The jinx and pantheon skins aren't bad, they're just not really halloweeny.
It's kind of sad that Riot creates a skin and the first thing people do from looking at a post on surrender@20 is say that It's trash. For all we know Riot could be doing a really large amount of skins that fall into a huge Zombie vs Slayer thing, even then I actually like the skins.
Zombie Nunu and Slayer Pantheon are decent.
Pantheon as a chainsaw murderer is decent, but they should've had a hockey mask and the shield should've had a skull on it.
Demon Vi should've been released with them, fits Halloween perfectly.
Ok skins, not ok for the harrowing.
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!!!
Zombie Nunu ult looks pretty epic. I like him as a harrowing skin, they did a good job.
I think the Panth is a caricature I don't like... The Jinx is almost fits too well, should have maybe just been a special ops skin.
idk - last year we got some harrowing skins, and some shadow isle skins, I kinda thought they were doing that lol
I honestly feel like they mixed up the patches or some shit. You could release Slayer Jinx/Panth at any time of the year and it wouldn't seem odd.
Probably the only reason that SF Brand and Demon Vi arent Harrowing skins is because they both technically have Harrowing skins.
Plus the fact that both Slayer skins only make reference to the Harrowing in their recalls, makes it seem like the whole theme is just "there".
the nunu skin is awesome but yea those other 2 skins suck
I like the skins, but agree.. they should maybe consult the community before making huge changes for events like these. While zombies are a "creepy" theme, they are over played and have become doll over the years. No one cares about zombies anymore. They should have focused on the spirit of Halloween.
"If it ain't broke why fix it?"
Nunu's skin is kinda good tho ¯_(ツ)_/¯
