Event Announcements

Where is the announcement/skin trailer for Tales from the Rift? I do not mean to be harsh, but it seems like for these "events" and another in game content, things keep getting lazier and lazier. I mean no skin trailer? That is the basic thing to announce the skins and their lore. Also even login screens have been cut. There are things in this game that keep improving (Skin design, artwork, story) but a lot of the in game events and excitement has died down. Halloween is a major Holiday and there is no event or anything for it? We usually get a login screen, trailers, and spooky effects in the game but now we have none of that. I am severely disappointed with the lack of effort. Especially for the fun holidays. At least give us Doom Bots and the Spooky Rift skin. I mean what do we even have to look forward to in the game now? If I am wrong or misguided feel free to correct me. Im just stated what from my point of view looks like a downgraded effort.

This has always been an issue since Worlds is always right around Halloween, Halloween skins almost always get overshadowed by the Worlds hype, which is still going strong for Worlds fans(which I realize not everyone is, but many are). However, I definitely feel like overall, events have been weaker this year. They've phased out login screens, which makes these events less exciting, and as you said, no skins trailer. Missions haven't been as fun either.

Things like lack of game modes, the Spooky Rift and missions can be explained away by both Worlds and 10th Anniversary happening right now...but that doesn't excuse some of the other things. Someone who only logs into League client and jumps into games would barely know the skins were here. Feel like a cute little festive skins trailer would have been enough.

Tales of the RIft isn't an event this year.

Was just trying to find the full mission list to see what they added for Halloween but can't find anything, so guessing there isn't anything. That's disappointing.

I think the 10th Anniversary+Worlds at the same time meant that Riot has either delayed the Halloween event, or isn't going to have one. While it's a bit disappointing it is something I understand. I certainly disagree with the lack of effort with events in league these days(I really wish we got more things like Bilgewater and Odyssey[y'know real events]) but in this instance I get why they aren't bringing out any Halloween stuff yet. I do wish they had brought out urf earlier so we could lead into doom bots for Halloween right after, instead of getting urf on Halloween.

I think the 10th Anniversary Event has phased it out this year, which is too bad, but since Riot has both this and Worlds going on, as well as four games shown in development, I'll forgive them for it. I think it's also made up for with the fact that the Halloween skins are really interesting and creative this year, not to mention that Kassadin finally has another skin.

Hopefully they can make something for Christmas to make up for it. The worst part was not even using the spooky map. I mean thats the least they could do.
