Please Revert Kog's New Portrait

ofart··6 votes·825 views

Although I feel Kog needs a bit of help), I'm a big fan of the champion. I saw the new portrait on the PBE and wanted to throw up. It's such an overt attempt to make him cuter that it comes across as very forced and actually creepy. His old portrait was fine. His eyes and baby features are way too exaggerated and make him look like a Pokemon rather than a fearsome devourer. It's such a stereotypical anime rendering and it doesn't work well with his lore.

Here's a link to the portrait changes.

BTW: I really like the new Ahri portrait. The Graves one seems a bit too dark and saturated but everything else is fine.

The forced attempt to make him look cuter makes him creepier? Considering he's an all-devouring void creature, I don't think that's a bad thing.

I think this person sums up my feelings on this nicely. I love references to the lore.

With that new splash I would argue that Koggy would need to get an update to his base skin if Riot plans on sticking with it. Really doesn't look much like him at all. Not that I would complain. Koggy's base skin looks really bad.

I don't think he's even supposed to be a fearsome devourer though. For one thing, even Rioters repeatedly comment that he is first and foremost, a void puppy.

He has a lot of lines about eating and his lore states he wants to eat a lot, but all he does is vomit.

If Koggy ever gets a visual update he should swallow minions whole if he last-hits them at melee range. Just a fun little visual nod to his lore.

The only thing that's different is his eyes.........are you seriously complaining about that?
