Yea,

Zed I don't mind, fair enough

Viktor, good for him.

Kat... why? We already have kitty kat katarina, hell I'd be more interested if Ahri got a harrowing skin over somebody with one already, and I'm one of ahri gets too many skins bandwagon.

Can we get 5 christmas skins for gnar?

Zed and Kat both maintain higher playrates than most of the champions in the game... Do you mean to say you dont like them? Maybe even the mage and support mains on the boards don't like them? What even is this?

Um, I'm confused. Why is this depressing? I'm lacking some context here.

For Kat, I think I can see why the Skin team choose her.......besides tits & money. Based off the visuals of Death Sworn Viktor, they probably wanted to give Kat a truly serious & dark skin for Harrowing rather than her only Harrowing skin be some generic, sexy Halloween costume (though I imagine the skin will still have some sex appeal in some way). To give her a thematic untouched by previous skins, to give Kat players something different. Another thing is that Kat is very lacking in skins with VFX changes. Like with Ez, they probably want to give her some more higher tier skins for once. Now did they specifically have to give her this skin or put her in this Harrowing set? I don't know. Could she have gone without it? Yeah, probably.

As for Zed, he's actually fine. He only have a total of 4 skins, 2 of those skins are legacy skins anyway.

IMO Kitty Kat is a Halloween inspired skin already. Though I dont mind more katarina skin.

Zed is good to have one.

Yes, Kitty Kat is one. But it's more on the fun/sexy/joke side of Halloween, not the horror/dark/serious side. That's what they're probably aiming for with this skin besides giving the internet more material for Kat r34. To give her a darker themed skin to celebrate the dark, horror side of Halloween.

Buddy, the visuals for her skin weren't available when I wrote what I said. I was going solely based off the visuals of the Viktor skin. Of course, this being a skin for Katarina & Riot, I had a feeling there would be some degree of sex appeal to the skin.

*looks at skin*

*sigh* I just wasn't expecting this much.

Ya I know, just wanted to know what you thought after the update.

Zed is alright, but yeah Kat doesn't need another Harrowing skin. Could have done an Urgot or something weird, hell even launched a new Eve skin for it since we're getting her rework next patch.

I own every single Katarina skin. I love the champion. But this skin. This skin is just god awful. What is that hair! Those knives! Just everything about her is gross. Like 60% of her skins are chromas and I would rather have them then this one. Really, really poor skin.

Zed is also really lackluster. The harrowing skins this year, bar from Viktor, are really just kind of 'eh'.

Come on! Another Katarina skin?

Stars Shaper2 votes

Hey, Zed and Katarina fit the theme and don't have enough skins! (Do I really need to say it outloud that this was sarcasm?)

Sorry what.... Katarina has 9 skins, this will be her 10th. That's MORE than enough.

Well you know one thing, typing doesn't often show that :P

While I really love the Viktor skin, I think both Kata and Zed' skins are meh. Katarina has already a Harrowing one, I think some other champion would have fit better in this thematic, tbh. Also her hair looks like it could kill men with it. The Zed skins is also meh, but I guess he just sells well.

I fucking hate Viktor, so 3 skins to 3 champs I hate

Death Sworn Illaoi sounds better and kinda fits with Illaois character, as she is sworn to work for Nagakawhachamacall it in her classic appearance.

Tesla Effect1 votes

I think Katarina is lacking that crutial green fire effect on her hair and swords to make is stand out more. For 1350 RP, it should incorporate new effects worthy of that price range.

It also doesnt help that the PBC version has a very lackluster recall animation and vfx overall. The texturing is also a miss on both Kat and Zed as the transisitons in the clothing are reather weird.

My issue with these skins is they feel like all the other skin lines... at least the older harrowing skins had some variety

iLBGAMing1 votes

None of these characters even fit the theme right besides Viktor I think he looks okay, where as Ivern Karthus KogMaw Mordekaiser TahmKench Thresh would in my opinion.

Sukishoo1 votes

Champions don't need to "fit" a theme... Skins are to show off alternate looks for them. Karthus on the other hand already has a Reaper skin, so he's another one that doesn't need a theme in or close to the harrowing.

iLBGAMing1 votes

True enough, but you have to admit that some of these new Harrowing skins look awful... Viktor not included..

Sukishoo1 votes

Oh, they do.. those two especially.

I like Viktor and the fact he got a new skin at last.
