None of his abilities are named after famous metal songs anymore, which was kind of his whole thing before. Is there a reason to gut the small flavor text things people enjoy about champs when reworking them? does this design team not understand the references the champion was built on? Is it necessary to remove a champions soul and flavor when rebuilding there kit? He looks great, but to me its a bizzare misstep to pull one of his key features

All of his abilities are still named after metal/death metal songs and bands.

the character was modeled around real life things instead of the world of runeterra. so, riot choose to expand their own lore instead of double downing on it.

Record labels that own the rights to certain songs have long since begun a lawsuit campaign against the entertainment industry for so much as using song titles as references.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, for instance, was heavily edited in the English dub and all the stands that were named after famous songs were renamed just to avoid legal battles.
