Since Katarina can have 2 Halloween skins, I'm starting to worry...

"But Kat got the Kitty Cat skin 7 years ago!" SO WHAT?! There are more than 100 champions in the game who are waiting for a Halloween skin. If a champion gets a certain themed skin that should mean that champion is getting out of the list and other champions should get the opportunity to get a skin with that theme. But nah.... just release 2 Halloween skins to Katarina...

Riot can't just contact the artist to give profit to him/her? Or just don't want to? )

Not every champion needs a skin for every event.

But that Gravekeeper Leona one is fucking metal. I love it, and doesn't at all need to be bound to Halloween.

I like shadow isles type stuff like the skins they made but they aren't the ideal Halloween theme like these, they lack the fun nature that is needed since everything is becoming so edgelordy default wise.

While I understand the concern here, look at the concepts linked:

  • Syndra just got the SKT Syndra skin, and that concept is more of a Day of the Dead concept than Halloween/Harrowing.
  • The Sona one is just in poor taste. Poor girl can't even say "trick or treat". Also recently-ish received a holiday skin (Sweetheart). Would be hard to do proper spell effects for someone who just works in auras and would probably be better suited towards one of the April Fool's/URF costume skins instead.
  • Graves is about to receive the new Victorious skin. Barring the new precedent set by the Blitzcrank skins coming out, champions generally don't get a lot of skins right next to each other.
  • Miss Fortune just received a new Star Guardian skin, same as Syndra/Graves in that they've all gotten or will be getting new skins soon.
  • Leona: That shit is a smokin hot Leona skin, so why don't we have it? My guess would be trying to come up with decent animations for it that would also make the champion still read as Leona for spectators. This is something that they've said many times that gameplay clarity as well as clarity for spectators to identify a champion even if they haven't played the game is important. Dark spell effects that would match that skin would be very hard to read on screen for some players and difficult to see from a spectator standpoint in the middle of a teamfight. We'd end up with Steel Legion Lux all over again where the spell effects gave a tactical advantage to your gameplay by them being difficult to see. (Same reason that Ravenborn LeBlanc and Underworld Twisted Fate had spell effects changed.)

Don't get me wrong, there are definitely other options, but the ones linked aren't great ones either. Most of them have received skins pretty recently or already have holiday themed skins to begin with.

It appears that this thread has been resurrected through the dark art of necromancy. While it's cool to see that MF is getting a harrowing skin, let's keep the focus on new threads instead of bumping old ones.

The main difference is that one is a meme, and the other isn't.

Honestly I am ok with some champs getting 2 skins for the same holiday. I mean if they have a good idea for a halloween skin,they shouldn't scrap it just because the champion had already a halloween skin.

That being said,I simply don't like the death sworn katarina skin anyway,so that is the bigger problem for me.

That Leona skin looks awesome but like... it doesn't look at all like her, not even a smidge which kind've sucks.
