So yeah the Harrowing is ending soon. I was expecting new lore. Instead it was just a lot of Marketing for skins..... Can't say i'm surprised, although idk why Riot tried to hype it up like something big was coming. I mean the RavenBorn LB And Underwolrd Wukong are nice and all. But what was the point of the Harrowing puppet show.....Seriously .......What was the hype of the Black mist for....

I have come to the conclusion that riot does not have palpable logic. Everything they do seems so rng. One moment they are all about the lore, 1 week later and they are all about something completely unrelated. Kinda reminds me of a little kid in a candy shop that has no idea what they want.

Welcome to the new and improved Riot Games! They've sold out!

(Although that Harrowing video was really cool, it would have been cooler with some actual content to back it up!)

To acknowledge that it's a sale for a holiday and not just a sale, I guess.

Why hype everyone up for a game mode and some skins....

LANWhale1 votes

Maybe it was just that, hype. Idk what riot is doing with this hype, who knows they might reales new SI lore after the Harrowing. Its a possibility, I still believe.

Then why was the SI champs lore shortened....makes no sense...

Harrowing is rarely more than a marketing-thing for halloween-skins and this year was no exception. The black mist seems to connect to kalista,the next champ whose name got supposedly leaked(by a source that also leaked Urf mode and gnar,so it is believable),I think Kalista was originally meant to be released during the harrowing,but simply took too long. Also we did get at least a bit of information about how the harrowing manifests in runeterra,before we didn't have much information and it was more like "some spooky time in the year"

If I remember...Wasn't Hecarim released on harrowing? Him or Elise. Either way, the previous Harrowing's had some kind of lore update. This has gotten to be Narrative's worst year.

Elise was released during the harrowing together with the new twisted treeline. However this was during the 2012 harrowing. The 2013 harrowing had basically nothing aside from officer vi and haunted zyra,so I would call that one the weakest harrowing,because this one at least came with a video,Hexakill,flash sales and more fitting skins(officer vi doesn't look that much like a halloween skin)

I wanted a story. The video was very nice and all...but what does the Harrowing mean for champions? Everything so far was done just for us (in reality), and didn't really build the world up or expand the Shadow Isles or the lore around the Harrowing.

I would kill for more on the shadow isles. Let's learn some more, maybe more in game with them would be good too...

With the harrowing, we got two new skins, skin sales, hexakill, and the video.

The mist is a teaser for an upcoming champion :)

Riot said no new champions till the end of the year after they released Azir because they are working on SRU and champion textures

Hyrum Graff1 votes

In this case, I'm OK with Riot going back on their word :P

while the skins where nice, and the new mode was nice to. it would have been perfect to have something, to connect to the harrowing video. we all know at this point that Kalista is going to be a thing, because the "source" who leaked urf/ gnar was spot on 100% make no mistake summoners it's coming.

GenoXx1 votes

I'm not sure I remember gnar getting leaked. I don't think I saw it. But they say WhyRenektonWhy has some kind of reliable source for Riot's Secrets. So, I guess I should believe it.

Yeah This Harrowing was very empty. unless u had money, this event meant nothing to you. previous ones u get retextures and Runes. these were removed.

the only thing you get free is Hexakill, which, lets be honest, isn't that fun. more of the game is us yelling at each other about losing that trying.

The Shurima event was epic, with 4 unlockable(not RP!) ions, some skins, a unique and not at all stressful event, and more champions on the rotation. and a new champion!
