The chinese one looks too soft in my opinion,it looks like she is a gentle nice girl,when Fiora is actually rather snobby and disciplined. Also the chinese one has roughly half of her hair coloured pink,not just a streak.

Though I think the current splash art could need some changes.

At least it's an improvement, in my opinion. If they just made the pink a streak and gave a bit of a more arrogant expression (( the softness is nice, but it should feel as if someone is mocking you or disappointed )) I feel as though I could live with this edit.

It improves in some aspects,but its worse in others. I'd say it looks overall better,but is worse at representing Fiora.

Anyway they already did some minor changes to the splash and might still do some more.

I feel that the Chinese version gives Fiora a more realistic look. Her strong eyes and her subtle smile, it seems perfectly arrogant, confident, and elegant while making her look intelligent, which shows she has the discipline and a strong self-awareness to not outright look cocky and literally snobby, like some moronic cartoon villain.

The new Riot version looks way too much like a caricature of a struck-up French grandma with a lot of Botox injections. It almost seems racist or at least way too stereotypical IMO.

I dunno how the chinese one looks arrogant. She has an extremely calm face on it,you could put the same face on someone who tries to to help you and it would make just as much sense.

It looks confident,yes,but not arrogant.

Are you cereal? What about this altered splash said "gentle and nice?" The new face does not suit her at all, and the original splash art proves this. We need to tell Riot what can be improved NOW, before they go and implement it into the game. The community certainly does not want another Katarina face fail.

Now, about the expression...yes, it is soft. I'll admit it. But that is easily fixed, correct? Just change the expression to be more of a smug grin than a warm smile, and it turns into more Fiora.

When I said face I meant her overall expression in the altered version. Like you say it looks too soft.

fugertech1 votes

Still a simple fix. Give her a more smug expression, with the eyebrows leaning on the fierce side and the mouth a smug grin. That gives her the attitude we'd expect Fiora to have, while keeping her face natural.

Looks infinity better.

Looks more like a human now, still not like Fiora, but at least like a human and not some absurd caricature of a balding Disney villain.

I play at least 1000 games of Fiora, she changes my aesthetics(short hair girl). Now her new classic skin really looks like one of my France roommate, I just can't fall in "love" with him...

I think the new splash is ok. More memorable and not bland. Besides, not every female character have to look like some chinese mmo reject.

Have you all forgotten about Katarina's new face? It looks like she smoked six packs of cigarettes every day for a year. They made the new Fiora splash look like a human body with a silicon face...and not a pretty one.

And I don't know where this "anime" thing is coming from. The rework looks nothing like an anime girl, and it didn't before. If you're going to sexualize girls looking too "girly", then do the same for men. Because if we're being honest, a lot of the guys have hulking muscles, tall figures, and chiseled faces.

Let's not change the art style of League to anime...

The edited version lacks personality. It's like a watered down version of Fiora aka. not Fiora.

Sukishoo5 votes

Looks more Anime-like, doesn't fit.

Oh my gosh. This almost made me cry. Anything that doesn't look like a cartoon villain.

It can be done, Riot! Just the face made all the difference!

Honestly, the version done by the Chinese player looks perfect ! She has that look of "Oh, I'm sorry. Did I just whoop your ass in a duel ? Yes, yes I did. Scrub." That fits her so much better than Riot's, which comes off as "I'm snooty, and french, and look like Cruella Deville."

Hupsis4 votes

Let's see here.

Fiora's characteristics:

  • noble
  • arrogant
  • artist (criticising)
  • perfectionist

Not characteristics of Fiora:

  • soft
  • cute
  • anime

Riot's version is better at represtenting her character.

Conncept4 votes

Yeah she looks like an anime character, so not a fan, since that's not the art style used in the rest of the game. There's a couple NA players who have done better edits in my opinion, you can find them here on the forums if you look.

Yeah she looks like an anime character

Literally all he did was finish drawing the top of her head (because people in real life have heads flat like a table, right?), lower her eyebrows so they're actually where eyebrows are supposed to be, and push her chin closer to her face.

Conncept1 votes

And you just stated yourself the reason, pushed her chin closer to her face. A lot of people identify anime for the eyes, but WB and Disney and many other artists and companies were both using huge expressive geometric eyes before anyone in Asia even took up animation. Anime is a lot more identified by the understatement of the nose, mouth, and how it all terminates in to a small sharp chin.

It's good, but does not portray Fiora's personality.

Love how much softer her face is. Probably one of the best edits I've seen so far

Take notes, riot

Nahara3 votes

While it looks very pretty, I'm not a fan.

She looks too nice and gentle in it, and Fiora isn't nice. She's cocky and arrogant and stubborn and should look like she's thinking "you lost before the match even started". Her expression should be a bit stoic and haughty, almost condescending, like she doesn't even consider you anywhere near her level.

While I think her current face is a bit off with how angular and pointed it looks (could definitely use a bit of rounding and softening, but not much), her expression is on the money and is something that shouldn't at all change.

TrickstaSama3 votes

Better than Ritos attempt her nose in the original looks like a mouses nose also face is too angular IMO. The edit fixes both of my problems with the original

umeboshii2 votes

I agree the edit looks nice, but is way too soft to be Fiora. Doesn't have any of Fiora's personality at all, though I feel Riot went over the top with the new splash (either changing the hair or face to be less angular might help IMO. right now its too much and looks bizarre). The chinese edit is nice, but she just looks like a generic anime character. No arrogant smirk, bold eyebrows, and the eyes are smiling instead of looking down on INSOLENT PEASANTS, who is that person in the edit and where is Fiora?

It amazes me what people can do even without the original .psd files.

Inb4 Riot leaves her shitty. I'll never forget what they did to tristana.

Sassmast3r2 votes

I honestly think the face looks better, however it doesn't have enough stubbornness in it. The original one I personally think looked too snobby, while this one makes her look somewhat kind and innocent. I still think it looks better than the original though; the original just went one step too far is all.
