@Reav3 about the new Irelia

Loved the rework! I think it is the best that Riot ever made (and teased).

But...

Something is stuck in my head. The shaped of blades on Irelia's back on her new idle pose. They form a shape like a triangle/shuriken, and it is cool, but the other form that sometimes shows up (the one teased in the roadmap) seems much more cohesive. It is cooler, more elegant, decorative and remind the Mantle of Decorum, which was "removed" from her. Why Riot decided to turn this shape of blades into something secondary instead of her primary form? The second feels much more "right" for Irelia.

Can we have some context on this decision?

Here's a comparison between the two. I know that maybe you guys may not change at all, but could we at least have the option to choose between this two mantle of decorum with ctrl+5?

They're both idle poses when standing still. The one that resembles the mantle is the first, and it'll settle into the triangular formation when resting for a while.

Toggling the animations could probably be a thing though, as they've done with Zoe and Heimerdinger.
