Is worlds really a reason, to just COMPLETELY forget about the Harrowing, release some crappy skins that honestly seemed like they were just slapped together so they had something.
At least TRY Riot, only 25% of your audience even PAYS attention to the LCS, thats not a reason to completely forget about the rest of us.
BeatinWarDrumz15 votesYeah... I'm dissapointed that there's no game mode, and the skins were pretty shit. The lore was good tho.
Dunkrius2g7 votesThat was the harrowing, the lore.
Ralanr2 votesAnd it was great.
Get em Tibbers12 votesSome of us never read the lore of champions and we're playing for like ..4 years, not really interested in reading lore for harrowing. It's a moba game not a book club if you ask me.

I agree, they spend so much time on that stupid lore, i never read it, and im sure there are plenty of people who havent either.
Anidan7 votesHowever...
You didn't go out of your way to basically petition Riot's boards and hold a part of their team to a furnace and tell them to start working and fix their mistakes or you'll throw them in, either. They're still not out of the fire yet. They can still feel its warmth while they try to work away from it and fix the problems that the huge lore retcon caused.
The separation of Harrowing from Halloween just when Worlds happens to be taking place on Halloween looks extremely suspect on the part of Riot. There's already one team held toward the fire. We don't need more. The people to whom lore matters is what that lore is for. That's why they have a team dedicated specifically to the lore so it doesn't impact the development from any other team.
Also, you may have never read the lore, but unlike Robert RGN up there, you went ahead and insulted it for no reason instead of just saying you aren't interested. That's pretty rude, man.

If you ask me LCS is really boring to watch
"WOOOAAAAH LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE A THRESH BAN/PICK GUYS WHODA GUESSED?"
"OOOH THRESH LANDING THE DEATH SENTENCE ONTO THE PLAYER JUST LIKE ANY OTHER SKILLSHOT ON ANY OTHER CHAMPION!"
Leadpaintchips1 votesOnly reason why I watched it was for the Olaf mid, and that game was entertaining as hell, but not a whole lot of commentary happening in it.
Leadpaintchips1 votesBack when I started playing, my internet was a huge mess, couldn't play at certain times, so it gave me something to do connected to League while not mucking up 10 people's gaming experience. Also, am a huge fan of decent lore. Doesn't have to be amazing, just something to tie it all together.
Get em Tibbers1 votesThere are games I really, REALLY want to play but can't due to ping and lags. Result? I'm not playing them because not only my experience would be bad, but also the experience of those I interact with. So I know pretty damn well how it's like not to be able to play a game with it's servers based on another continent or how it is to have a bad internet but nobody cared about that nor they should. Age of Wulin is something of the top of my head for example. Don't play games you can't really play. Especially not competitive games like mobas who depend on all team members having a good connection to play in the first place.
Leadpaintchips1 votesWhich is why I started to dive into the lore during those times of days when I couldn't play, it gave me something to do connected with the game that wasn't buggering up the game for 10 people.
XxxLumberJackxxX1 votesSo... you dont want the harrowing LORE... you dont want the SKINS... what do you want?
Get em Tibbers4 votesNew map? Icons? Event? Client theme? Anything?
Ralanr1 votesThen why are people complaining in the lore section of the boards if they don't give a shit about it?
Get em Tibbers1 votesBecause there is no "General" section of the chat and no place on the current board is fitting for such a thread except for General
Ralanr1 votes...then why not post it in general?
just a memory11 votesYet another thing Riot has failed to deliver on.
Rundus11 votesTop notch, Mr. Bangles
KingKong23506 votesI know the LCS is popular and all but that kind of stuff just seems ridiculous to me. Who watches a video game as a sport? AND NOW IT STOLE MY HARROWING SKINS
kJs1 votesA lot of people.
chide da jungler6 votesThey should slap a seasonal skin on dragon and baron. Like a skeleton version of each of them
Iceborn Pippin4 votes19,203 RP for the complete bundles and this year's new skins AND icons if I was a new player and I wanted all the skins I could ask for because I have A LOT of cash to spend.
Apparently RIOT decided it was not going to be a worthwhile business endeavor.
AzureInTheDark2 votesSo can I have some of your not-used cash, or...?
Finn Warhammer3 votesUmm, the lore was completely epic, the skins are fun and pretty cool. We haven't had a special harrowing game mode in a long time. What else could you want?
Suck it up.
okino3 votesI mean they DID give us a 3 or 4 chapter lore on Shadow Isles and the Black Mist which lots of people have been wanting. And sure, the events this year were near to none but at least Riot didn't completely ignore everything and released skins and lore.
kaltenashes3 voteswell, there is a harrowing story that reveals a bit of illaoi (?) the new champ and the olaf part is funny
Seekêr2 votesBut......skt.... :c
Roodrak2 votesRiot doesn't get half of the profit they would've from Worlds. it would be irresponsible to focus on the harrowing more than worlds, or even at the same level.
They would never choose players over money. o well.

They stood to make a hell of a lot more money than all 5 seasons of worlds could ever hope to generate.
Anidan3 votesIf I recall, even in 2014 it was stated that Riot doesn't really profit off of the tournaments they host. So, yeah, Harrowing would've generated far, far more profit for Riot than the Worlds tournament. And since they let it slip past the prime consumer marketing time for these kinds of skins, they dropped the ball pretty hard.
ShadyWolfe2 votesRiot doesn't get half of the profit they would've from Worlds. it would be irresponsible to focus on the harrowing more than worlds, or even at the same level.

The Worlds are for the players it isn't that profitable for Riot especially compared to skin sales.

Slayer Pantheon, Slayer Jinx, Zombie Nunu, Harrowing Lore, and Shadow Isle Champion Lore update. They released a good amount for the Harrowing just no game mode which is alright we do have a permanent game mode for the Harrowing called Twisted Treeline.
My Bicks Too Dig2 votesRiot Games can afford not to care. So just keep throwing all of your monies at them so that this vicious cycle can continue. Keep empowering them.
Celio Hogane HD1 votesI really don't get the hate to the zombie slayer skins, they are cool.
I mean yes i wanted Underworld Olaf but doesn't mean i don't apreciate the skins.
Leadpaintchips1 votesnow that skin might fight for screen time with Brolaf.
Celio Hogane HD1 votesTOTALLY.
He4rtkiller1 votesThe Harrowing story is awesome! Slayer and zombie skins are okayish, were expecting something cooler, epic, more interesting! Why can't we buy older Harrowing skins already? They are better then this year's ones even tho they are older (underworld twisted fate is still one of the best skins in game imo and he is made in 2012.).
GreenLore1 votesI just found a harrowing site,treasures of the harrowing can't copy its link here for some reason,it looks like you'd actually be able to unlock the slayer and zombie skins(even brands) O_o
just search for harrowingreasures.com
Solaxo1 votesThey completely forgot about the players
ihaveapotion1 votesone phrase: china bought riot.
Guy Fox Teemo2 votesChina bought Riot, 5 years ago, even if they were pressuring them to bring in more profit, the Harrowing event with skin sales, modes, maps, etc. BRINGS A HUGE profit.
Worlds actually loses them money btw.
gg we lose xDS1 voteshi am new here
