I think the new Kat and Zed skins look worse than sewn chaos blitz & amumu

and these guys got canceled for not meeting quality criteria https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bnW1QuH7ObU/WHWCgVnAarI/AAAAAAAAbvQ/uPLTgbm9DnMAtG0m8K-hy_0MpYJb4hxMwCLcB/s640/sewncut.jpg

Honestly, can you switch them? can you bring back sewn chaos and polish them instead of the katerina and zed skins? They were really nice models Imo. Can even have cool recalls and deaths. Would even feel more fitting with the Halloween theme, they might not have animations to be 1350 skins but damn, the models sure look better than some recent 1350 skins anyways, why throw them away?

I never understood the backlash with these two skins, they honestly didn't look as bad as people made them sound like.

Yeah they could be better, but that was something that could have easily been changed with a few texture tweaks.

The new Kat and Zed skins aren't as bad as people make them out to be either imo but they do look rather... messy.

I actually agree. I think the Zed and Kat skins are clumsy and just not diverse or exciting enough.

The new zed skin looks like a bad championship chroma lmao

The harrowing theme is trash. You get a Kalista-looking goon squad with hard to see particles. Oh. Boy. Its based on lore that they gutted and don't even care about. The costume- wearing themes were always light hearted and fun even on things like Zombie Brand. A Taliyah recolor to green and calling it "Definitely not Toph" would have been better than this.

Seems like the halloween and christmas skins are taking a back seat to the project and star guardian lines, which is ok, but at least keep the seasonal releases fun.

I wish these Sewn Chaos skins had been released.. :(

Yes i'd love these as halloween skins in all honesty.

"Sewn Chaos" does make a great Halloween theme, though.

Blitzcrank is cute, amumu looks like garbage with that reddish pink color.

Sewn Chaos Blitz and Amumu were legit nicer looking than Death Sworn Kat and Zed.

I honestly don't understand the Kat, Zed and Viktor skins. They are pretty much Underworld skins with a pinkish accents. They could easily remove the pink color they added, call them Underworld and it would fit perfectly. I wish I could find out why they felt it was necessary to add yet ANOTHER skin line that is very similar Underworld (along side Soul Stealer and Gravelord Azir ) rather then just make more underworld skins.

I'd rather get a skin for champs I play TBH, them picking three midlaners, two assassins no less, for the skins this year is quite disappointing.

I was hoping to pick up a few legit skins.

These would fit as "Halloween" skins better than the edgy skins we are currently getting

Really the Katarina skin is just a rehash of what we've gotten a million times before. Chick in an outfit with her tits out.

Really nothing about the design makes me think 'Spooky' 'Halloween' or even 'Ghost' for that matter.

It's just lame.

This will never happen. The new kat, zed and viktor skins are final and while you may not like them, others will. They are 1350 skins so they have special effects while the sewn chaos skins were 750 skins with no special effects. I think Blitz looks fine but if a player saw that amumu skin, they might not even know who that is since it resembles nothing about amumu at all. That could easily be a teemo skin tbh lol. Giving proper feedback in order to make the new halloween skins better is better than just complaining on the boards that they look bad. Riot listens to constructive feedback, they ignore complaining.

Honestly i'm starting to think people would really be more pleased if they just released Sewn Chaos instead of Death Sworn. Death Sworn are the most hated skins i've ever seen. And i don't remember Sewn Chaos getting that much backlash tbh. They scrapped Sewn Chaos for being below quality standards. But Death Sworn is too below quality standard and pretty mUch everyone loathe them, so why keep up with these skins...? I'm kinda confused with Riot decision to release Death Sworn at their current state.

In fact, Sewn Chaos could really fit an Halloween theme. They are cute, but sort of uneasy cute making them almost scary. A bit like a fun-scary Tim Burton films effect. Death Sworn on the other hand... I may find Kata quite pretty and was hoping for a Viktor skin since a long time... But despite the tweaks they stay what they were since the start : unoriginal, boring and just not exciting.

Seriously Mr.Riot. I know you may never see this thread or will probably not agree at all, but consider releasing Sewn Chaos instead? Maybe?

Winterkill10/14/2017, 5:55:59 AM4 votes

I seriously wish they would just scrap Zed and Katarina. The skins are terrible. If they had fixed Katarina's skin color and eyes . . . . like make them white . . . I can see it being decent. I still get a vibe of a girl cosplaying as a Shadow Isles champion. It's a shame they have to release such ugly skins for the sake of it solely being a champion skin quota.

sewn amumu actually sounds like a good concept lol

MeDicenWera10/14/2017, 5:06:23 AM4 votes

Pleeeease, I was super excited for both of these and the Kat Zed Vik ones are really meh. Not even sort of gravelordy like Azir, PLEEEEASE.

Cocho10/14/2017, 5:25:30 AM4 votes

I've played as the new kat skin and I love it. Feels smooth a/f.

That blitz is ok, mumu ugly lol imo

Grief Me Please10/14/2017, 4:58:06 PM4 votes

I'm personally a pretty big fan of the Katarina skin, even more so after they adjusted a couple things about it, and honestly, all the negative feedback worries me. If riot decides to do the same thing as they did with these skins, it would be awful :( Plus, I didn't even think the blitz and amumu skins looked bad :l

Frozen Diva10/14/2017, 2:01:42 PM3 votes

Sewn Chaos Blitzcrank and Amumu are amazing. I will never understand this. Like... this would be the best skin of Amumu. Zeds new skin looks just like garbage. It's a mess. Kata and Viktor are nice imo.

Overwatch had some amazing Halloween Skins and emphasized the Halloween on it. The semi spooky theme touch the silly stuff. You know Halloween is supposed to be like ghosties, zombies, spooky clowns. It seems like They were just trying too hard to be cool with the Halloween skins released.

Daunt10/14/2017, 11:31:29 AM3 votes

Death Sworn Kat actually looks good after yesterdays changes. They really are putting a lot of effort in the skins and KateyKhaos stated that they won't be cancelling them.

HeroineSam10/14/2017, 4:56:01 AM3 votes

I do agree a little bit. Kat holding those swords does not look natural at all, and the zed's shurikens just look pretty strange. Why would he be throwing swords in that shape? And why would they do damage like that? (however, zed's e is pretty cool though).

Jerry SeinfeId10/13/2017, 11:27:29 PM3 votes

Blitz had potential, amumu was thrash. I mean the model is well made but the look of it is just bad. They were salvageable though. imo the new skins still look great tho.

Rayjay Redfang10/14/2017, 10:39:47 PM3 votes

I miss the sewn chaos skins. I was actually looking forward to them.

Boulderox10/15/2017, 4:40:48 AM3 votes

I despise these "Halloween skins" for the same reason I haven't bought a skin in the past few months... because riot is on a huge binge of over the top, in your face color schemes

Arcade: pink/purple with bright blue accent on abilities star guardians wave 3: neon and sparkles sword skin line: subtle vibrant coloring, while effects are neon... and now Halloween: dark color with neon accent and effects

and the thing is, there were skin releases in between all of these, omega, order/chaos, and one offs, but this scheme keeps pestering. It is just that it can be distracting with the skins sometimes, I cannot be the only one. They do a great job don't get me wrong and are great skins, but I really don't like how the skins are slowly drifting into this in your face distracting color. And while the sewn chaos can be in the same boat, I would much prefer them over the skins that are supposedly halloween based...

The splash art was thrown away too, and it was really good.

Imperial Japan10/14/2017, 4:44:21 PM2 votes

Why not just release all four 🤷‍♂️ Of course with some touch ups on Amumu. The reddish color just plastered doesn’t look good. I think it’d look great if it was colorful like blitz tho

Clayblob210/15/2017, 5:44:33 AM2 votes

yeah especially said, the skin doesn't communicate zed
