She's got a pretty cool design now, definitely gets the point across. You can barely even notice the cleavage most of the time.
The gaming industry is being saved, one ex-scantily-clad woman at a time! Said no one ever
Well that's new from a company that years ago said that by far the only way to portray women in video games is to give them big tits. I guess they learned better ..although i think it's just because the character was unoriginal and unplayed as shit and they want sales
do dota and lol players really argue everywhere

Why don't they talk about trundle ? his rework is even better. They took some zombie ugly-ass pile of flesh and turned it into a motherfucking frost troll warlord with a giant stalactite for a mace.

Also there's a ton of more stuff coming up in the patch but I guess RPS is more interested in the removal of the tundra bra.

[QUOTE=Novangel;40157035]How the hell is a generic frost troll more interesting than an unique rotting troll design? [/QUOTE] This is exactly how I felt about the whole Trundle rework. He looks extremely badass...but it isn't Trundle. Trundle was funny, while being an ugly rotting troll. What is he now? This beautiful steroid-using troll from the Arctic. Everything that made Trundle...well, Trundle, was removed from him.
[QUOTE=Novangel;40157035]They're responding to fan feedback, it's not like they can't make sales elsewhere.[/QUOTE] Just feels to me that Riot is infecting the game more with anime day by day to drive its population with a specific group and especially asian audience, while homogenizing all characters to be kawaii humans in a fantasy setting and claiming its bad to have creatures that aren't overly cute. Not talking about Sejuani here but characters like Trundle, Soraka and soon i can imagine Urgot being remade
Her old design made sense, as much as I hate to admit it. She's lived all her life in a very, very cold environment and now she fights in a warm and humid jungle type of arena. Of course she's not going to wear the same outfit she does in Freljord.

Old trundle was unique and had a good lore, new trundle is generic le bromacia voice huehue shit.
"[B]League of Legends is notorious for [/B]a lot of things:[B] a steep yet rewarding learning curve[/B]" I don't think so.
[QUOTE=Chickens!;40160459]"[B]League of Legends is notorious for [/B]a lot of things:[B] a steep yet rewarding learning curve[/B]" I don't think so.[/QUOTE] When compared to other competitive games (Dota, Starcraft, Quake), it really doesn't. When compared to most games, it does.
I think that the learning curve for league is more of a learning curve for mobas in general.

Plus them putting a banana joke in there was gold. I think it's less riot's intention to make the game, and more just that some of the concept artists are big fans of anime and so some of the models just kinda end up like that. You gotta remember that in the end it's just normal people making the models and their personal tastes are going to end up in the concept art.
