The skin fit Leblanc though, this wouldn't fit Fiora...

Well LeBlanc is a cold-hearted bitch both in lore and in gameplay. The skin fits.

they did the same with Ahri and Katarina kind of getting annoying

I kind of like the new Ahri splash art in comparison, but the new Katarina splash art is just a direct nerf to the champion.

VioletVixen3 votes

Im with him, none of the new arts are worth a damn....Ahri, Kat, EZREAL, JANNA?!?! If you're going to change the splash art, leave the old art as a skin option like they did with sejuani....

I hated Ahri's old splash for one reason, her left boob looked like it was barely in her dress...

as a female it bothered me.

Absolute0Chaos6 votes

As a guy myself, my values tell me to respect a person's body, so scantily clad women lower points in my view.

However, Ahri is based on the Nine-Tailed Fox, so it makes thematic sense at least.

Anyway, new Ahri art is better.

The sexy factor isn't what bothered me, it was the fact that her old splash dress looked uncomfortable. It looked as if her boob was about to fall out of her dress and be like "oops"

I Main Swain3 votes

lol I can just imagine that coupled with the reaction. suddenly they're hanging free on summoners rift in the middle of a teamfight and you're just like "woopsies, mah bad" and keep fighting.

at least its a good tactic.

Not at all

Absolute0Chaos6 votes

New Ahri is better imo.

As for new Kat, well, I use Warring Kingdoms Kat, and it was conveniently released at around the same time. Business strategy indeed.

She looks like a cartoon now, the same can be said of her in-game models, it's a downgrade for sure.

That face looks horrible. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the original.

Anidan4 votes

I would say the clothes were a tad too dark. I didn't even know it was vertically striped on the model until today, and I own the skin.

The face in the new model is horrendous, though. I agree. I would've just touched up the clothes and made them a little brighter (to fit the League motif) and then left it at that. The model was fine.

That new face looks like complete shit, riots gotta clear out the tumblr artists and fix this

Please tell me there aren't new splash arts.

I saw the character model updates (I think?)

I'm not ready for this.

In my opinion, what the splash art did was rotate Fiora 90 degrees, change her clothes, and change up the setting a bit (which has the misfortune of lightening up the red streak on her hair), and change her expression a bit.

The expression change really is the only thing that you can really say makes her less sexy, but having it make her less sexy gives a new window into her personality that wasn't completely captured in her old art. It perfectly captures her confidence (or arrogance, depending on who you talk to) in a way that the old splash art didn't, especially considering her hair covered half of her face in the old splash.

Fiora ''I came here seeking a challenge - is this the best these fools can offer me?''

That's not true, imo. Fiora's old face was soft and pretty, but the new one looks like she got some freakish plastic surgery lol. Maybe it's just my personal preference or that her face is so unnaturally angular, but her new splash is definitely less attractive for that reason.

NemeBro6 votes

She doesn't really look ugly. Just older. More importantly, she doesn't look like Fiora anymore. That is all that matters, and all that will ever matter.

RazerX5 votes

I agree, the new artwork is terrible. She was not an old champion anyways, so why update the splash and the model? I mean they could have just updated her kit without ruining the way she looks.

riot has been ruining splashes for a while. remember went we went from great old morgana splash to how does her spine even bend that way current morgana splash?

Ace Access 4 votes

her old skin had the feel of a aristocratic duelist who was proud of her skills and nobility

her new looks would fly in a Disney story BUT NOT HERE even her new hair looks HIDEOUS, her new outfit feels more like something that belongs in a fashion show not a duel

The Pale Woman3 votes

She has the face of Malificent and the body of that asian girl from Big Hero 6.

TurquoiseYoshi2 votes

Technically most of the characters in Big Hero 6 were Asian. Because they were in a combination of San Francisco and Tokyo.

Frosted Otter3 votes

I agree its mostly her face that needs work, looks really skinny and frail imo. The old Royal Guard skin looks a lot better than the new one(That hat isn't fancy enough, step up your game) and I think all it really needed was a texture update. Nightraven Fiora's armor is a big improvement, Headmistress only really needed a few tweaks here and there instead of starting from fresh. The armor on default Fiora is well done.

Think the models could've been kept nearly exactly the same with just a texture update instead of a full VU.

Crett2 votes

Fiora isn't supposed to be about sex appeal.

And yet they gave her a headmistress skin. That just screams modesty

You guys are weak minded. They deviate from your full face, busty chest, wide curve structure that's the same for every human female champ, and you guys cry. What, they made her chin thinner, gave her a more defined bone structure in her cheeks, now she's ugly? Too disney for you? What's Disney about it, how cartoony it looks? You mean something in League of Legends looks cartoony!? What!? Nah, all our champs are hyper-realistic, this is Metal gear solid quality stuff right here.

Get out of the forums with this obsessively exaggerated crap. Makes me sick.

Maybe instead of ruining older champions to suit some hidden agenda where some women have to be made intentionally ugly to please tumblr, they make a new ugly one and leave the old ones the fuck alone?

Aren't you robot-thinking by just going with the initial out-roar without some degree of level-headed analyzing of the situation. I see the new splash and I think it's fine. It's in-line with the direction they've been taking all their splashes ever since Kat and Trist got theirs redone. A bit more emphasis on color, a bit more exaggeration on the length/width of the faces, and more developed, meaningful backgrounds that say something about the champ...save Kat's...>_>

I think the splash is fine. They didn't do anything wrong here. Not every champ is along the lines of Lux. Some are older and more mature. If they redid her art and model to better resemble what they envisioned in the character's age and dimensions, why is EVERYONE on their period all of a sudden?

She's supposed to be the same age as lux though.
