The Harrowing 2015



Yayyy happy bleated Harrowing! Well its not really that much of yay, as Riot has given us no lore this year. However instead they put their effort into releasing a zombie apocalypse themed skin line, and well as make a song for it, and tons of art. So who is on the list to be zombified?


Nunu
Zombie Nunu to be quite honest doesn't really look cool...He looks terrifying. For whatever floats your boat, if you like grotesque kind of horror, this is the skin for you. No more little boy riding an abominable snow man. This is some creepy child which reminds me of one of the boogie children in The Nightmare Before Christmas. Riding on what appears to be a rotting ogre in some way. Weilding balls of slime and hopefully scaring the rude 10 year olds off league- Unfortunately the sale just ended and he is back to his normal price of 1350 RP.
7/10 cups of tea.

Pantheon
Slayer Pantheon makes me wish I played Pantheon. A lot of Pantheons skins are just practically re-colorings of his normal self, without any character or extravagant theme being put in. Just some dude with a roman hat, a big shield and a sword. When I heard there was a new Pantheon skin coming out. I honestly thought that they were adressing the wishes of many- Baker Pantheon. A fan skin concept of Pantheon with a chef hat on, his shield a pizza pan, sword a baguette. And an animation of him making pizza when he returns to base.
This however is just as pleasing. For once we depict the sword and shield as being something other than a blatant sword and shield. It appears that his shield is a road sign. And his sword is a chain saw. Okay maybe it's not just as pleasing as a guy fighting people with a baguette. But you take what you can get. He's the cheapest new skin at 975 RP.
7/10 cups of tea.

Jinx
Okay, as an active player of Jinx, sure i'm a little critical. This is because I would actually be able to buy this. However... This skin is too over rated. YES, there are new designs, new animations, new textures, coloring, backing, ammunition changes. New new new everything. But is it really that new?
To be quite honest this skin looks like the love child of normal Jinx and normal Vi. However, this skin kindof gives you a slight buff. The flame chompers are things that you need to desperately avoid when playing against a Jinx. And with this skin her flame chompers are so dark, small, and animate so little that you can't see them in group fights. Only those with lots of experience with her kit can have open eyes to them. The idea was cool, but this just doesn't really feel like it's actually different. With still, firecracker Jinx being her best skin. Although I'm happy that they are making skins for her. When I first started playing, there was only one and it wasn't all intriguing. You can get this for an outrageous price of 1350 RP (Or you could, you know, get the way better Jinx skin that is also that price.) 5/10 cups of tea.

But hey, with this login entry music and great art style, who wouldn't want to waste their money on Zombie Slayer Jinx? Music is a great marketing tool. But still. Maybe it it had a little more color to it, it wouldn't be half bad. Login Music/Art
