RIP. You were once a beloved time of the year which everyone was excited for, but not this year. The Harrowing, just. IS. NOT. The Harrowing, unless it's on Halloween. I don't feel alone when I say that I'm very disappointed to play this game without any type of Halloween event, on this special Holiday.

I could care less about the harrowing at any other time of year. Its why we dont have snowdown in summer.

No one liked the skins. No one cares about this theme. When an overwhelmingly number of players say they think the new skins and theme are crap, they shove it down our throats. No one likes the zombie stuff. Where is this event you said you were gonna do? Oh yeah it is no longer Halloween. There is not point in doing it now since you wasted all your time on stupid worlds. You really showed your true colors Riot. Worlds is more important than your fricken game.

I've waited all month for this and the releasing of the legacy skins and to find out that its not on Halloween broke my heart. This was going to be my first Harrowing and to have it canceled almost made me throw my computer.item 3070 item 3070 item 3070

Both matter to me.., why didn't you give that option???

But on topic.. Halloween ruined because of clashing dates

If I wanted to entertain myself by watching something I'll turn on my TV or DVD player. Point of a GAME is actually PLAYING it. And since Riot has clearly shown once again that people who watch the game than people who actually play it... well, I guess Gaben will make better use of money I'd maybe spend on Harrowing skins otherwise.

riot should see this

Riot Logic 101

"Hmmm, should we worry more about an event where only about 900k people watch it or release skins we all know and love? Hmmm lets do the one where there are only 900k people compared to about the 30mil people that are (Well... were,) hyped for the harrowing skins." Nice one riot. Love ya guys. Ya really did it.

I mean, I like watching worlds, but we want the Harrowing Riot! I am about to break my piggy bank for this shit

#LoL does not qualify as a sport.

I don't celebrate America's Halloween. I don't mind. Still.... i r disappoint.

Let's be real, though, the notoriously whiny forum community is visiting this thread because they are upset about the Harrowing, not because they love Worlds. So please don't pretend your poll is actually representative of anything.

JustBoneBrook11/1/2015, 9:11:20 PM2 votes

Who care about Worlds any way? the only think world give us is meta just not fun to play at all.

(my bet on the enemie team and alie team: 1 adc bot (whit summoner 4 summoner 7), 1 support bot (whit summoner 4 summoner 3), 1 jungler (whit summoner 4 summoner 11), 1 mid (whit summoner 4 and... X spell (summoner 12 since this world i guess)), 1 top (whit summoner 4 summoner 12)) Did i won something?

Here's a fact

I shouldn't have to choose between harrowing and worlds.

Worlds being on Oct. 31 is fine. Harrowing not being on Oct. 31 (or at least closely before hand) is not fine.

I fail to see how it was difficult to ready a Halloween patch to release right after worlds ended...and hell, on the US/Eastern Asia side of the world, worlds was at like 9 AM.

The 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.).

I'm not sure why people are still giving the money.

Rozzeta11/1/2015, 10:03:07 AM1 votes

It's not the first time this happens. Reaper Soraka was released like Mid November.

The differentiation between Halloween and Harrowing was made in order to not make the event on October 31.

I feel like Worlds is more important, however that does NOT mean Riot has to completly skip or make the Harrowing bad like this. Both should get equal time spent on.

I really dislike this harrowing. I was hoping for some cool skins like Necromancer Azir or something like Trick or Treat Bard (or Spooky Bard)

Was going to play a bunch of TB games with a new skin for my favorite ADC since I had nothing better to do on Halloween. Thanks a lot Riot.

Riot is a company.

Companies need $ to function.

Worlds=large profit.

Harrowing = small profit(if someone has skins they wont buy em again)

The Bilgewater event was awesome, and the 4 chapter Harrowing lore update that fallowed was pretty good too. An event to go along with the new lore would have been really really nice. Maybe making a mist covered version of Butchers Bridge or something using TT assets. It couldn't have been that hard...

They don't want the Harrowing to be just a Halloween event why so they can make more money. So the Harrowing we be in a few days then I bet you will see it again in 6 or 7 months
