@Riot if you guys care about skin quality do not release Death Sworn Katarina

So earlier this year Riot canceled Sewn Chaos Blitzcrank and Amumu for the following reason:

"The truth is neither Sewn Chaos Blitzcrank nor Sewn Chaos Amumu hit the quality expected of our recent skins, so we’re making the call to remove them." source: https://boards.pbe.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/general-pbe-feedback/qnK0MB8Q-update-on-sewn-chaos

Now looking at the Katarina skin on PBE I got conflicted feelings about their quality bar. It is Literally just a blue Kat. Nothing about her Skin suggests you that its a Halloween skin. Its just Kata with glowy hair and glowy swords.

The Skin itself may be neat, but imo it has no creativity in it whatsoever and if the Sewn Chaos Skins got canceled due to not meeting their quality bar then this one should too.

I'm sure most would agree that all of the recent skins have been kick ass and worth the 1350 RP price tag (in my opinion at least) so it sucks to see a skin that could be so much more not meet expectations

She isn't even looks related to the Shadow Isles. Where is the green skin and shinny eyes of all the other champions with Shadow Isles thematics? She should look more like Kalista and not like Irelia frostblade. Why Viktor and Zed look scary, and Katarina seems to be made for not looking too ugly on the eyes?

As a Katarina main, i sadly do agree with this. The skin looks like a custom skin and not something Riot would release. And after all the amazing skins this year it's sad that Harrowing gets dumped on. I already made a thread on Kats skin but i'm not sure if even fixing it will justify how lackluster it is and how little attention was shown to the skin.

And Zeds isn't any better, imo. No wonder they only released Viktor in the teaser video, these skins are jokes.

Honestly I think Riot should have just release sewn chaos. It was pretty much done anyways, if it doesn't sell well it doeasn't sell well.
