First Riot changes the idea of Harrowing. Making it so its not linked with october/IRL halloween season anymore ( I have no problem with this, because now it is related to the black mist and the Shadow Isles instead of just League's version of Halloween) Then they add "Tales of the Rift" to take Harrowing's place instead, leaving much to be desired And now this years halloween event has to take place in the middle of the Worlds event and it doesnt even have a proper login theme! For years now the halloween event has shared the same month with Worlds, only to be overshadowed by it. I only ask this spooky time to get the attention and love it deserves, personally ever since the Tales of the Rift thing I have felt this events lack luster. Where are my classic monsters skins? Frankensteins, pumpkins, black lagoon creatures etc? Not everything has to be witches and neon "spectres" And just seeing this years login was the last straw

Buddy, it's not really an "event" or ever promised to be anything greater. Its only Halloween which has some popularity sure but it's no bigger a celebration than Valentines day and League only celebrates that with skins/minor accessories. Like i could sympathize with disappointment over the quality of Halloween-themed skins but I need some convincing as to why it needs to have a dedicated event.

You are not the only one

The only thing that really bothers me is that Tales from the Rift content uses Worlds Tokens, which makes the Worlds content harder to get if you want any of the Halloween stuff. They're thematically separate and yet use the same limited availability temporary currency.

You don't get much more "Classic Monster" than Dracula though.

It a little bit disappointing, but you have to remember that Halloween isn't that popular outside of the US. Where I live it's an event reserved for children, I haven't seen an adult dress up since years. And even for kids it's not that popular; I haven't had a single trick or treat group last year and only one in the year before.

Still better than last year's mundane blue ghost/fire skins.

In my own personal opinion... I do love halloween ,for me it's that season where everything is dark, spooky and fun, I really enjoy it, I remember when was the teemoing event for example, it was good for me, it had a dedicated theme, login screen, skins, and a challenge. This year I felt they literally didn't cared about it because of worlds, In my opinion once again, I just wanted to see more spooky / halloween(ish) things.. wich was sad for me at least.. Only by put skins out, for me is riot wanting only to make money, without any dedication
