Please change his mask design to the one released in the teaser last week. The new version looks like he's wearing a chain link fence. I want to see the one that looks like Venom!!!
Please change back before live!!!
Lmfao, Bowser Jr. looking ass
Show a pic of Pyke from an ACTUAL view you would see in game.
Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. Why would riot even have this sort of huge change after outing those details into the reveal?
..... STOP LOOKING AT THE CHAMPION HEAD ON AND LOOK AT IT FROM ABOVE.
god i thought that was appeanrt enough from my post
have u never seen shit like this?
Ya what the hell riot, feels like another dragonslayer pantheon bait and switch.
New mask is an embarrassment.
Reminds me of Eve rework teaser and in-game look rant
The issue is with the teaser mask is that it wouldn't translate well into game, and it would be hard to make out while playing. They should do a compromise of both, remove the lines on the top and bottom from the in-game mask and make the teeth a bit sharper and less aligned.
Guess the Trailer version would look horrible from ingame view or in anything but MAX specs - so they changed it.
He looks just like old swain up close.
I show'ed my mom JUST a picture of the ingame and told her, "this is a new character, his theme is Ghostly Seaman Jack the Ripper and hes back for revenge."
She said..
"He looks goofy....." and made a look of strange disgust.
Rito, fix this. Even people who have no idea about this game should be able to deduce that by looking at the character.
This character as a whole is a miss imho.
Agreed. Looks way cooler in the trailer...all the way around, in fact.
You can barely even see his mask in-game because his head is turned down, except when he taunts or dances. So during 99,99% of the game you won't be able to tell it's different.
while the one in the trailer is more badass it definitely wouldn't translate well into the actual game.
I voted "No" because I think the entire reason for the change is being overlooked. Those fine pin-stripe lines (Which are teeth) are stylized as shark teeth in the game only due to how such thin lines will be represented from both the angle and the distance of the camera view. It would look blurry, messy, and overall faded with no real definition. Some compromises needed to be made. Someone brought up earlier the fact that Kindred's Lamb only has 3 fingers in-game while 5 fingers in their splash art, sometimes things need to change in order to accommodate visual limitations of the angle of play. It prevents details from being overloaded into a small area.
The slim long teeth are a better fit for Pyke anyway because they are reminescent of deep-sea creatures like the Anglerfish or Frilled Shark, which is exactly what Pyke is supposed to represent; a terrifying creature that we do not fully understand, but thrives in the dark abyss.
It's like the Pyke we play in game is just what he was like in life.
His clothes are clean, his skin isn't rotten, his bandana isn't torn up.
I want Zombie Pyke.
tbh it doesnt rly matter its just a matter of uv unwraping the mask and putting the teaser masks textures on it, iam sure someone will "fix it " and put it on one of those custom skin websites [slayer-jinx-wink]
He looks 10x more menacing in the trailer than in-game, and I'm 80% sure the mask has a lot to do with it.
Or just maybe the cinematic shots, great narration, and eerie music. Idk take your pick
Because the trailer mask doesn't look like anything from the distance players will be viewing him at.
Honestly you can't even see it. Top down view boiz
I think he needs his bandanna redone to look more like the teaser one, and he's supposed to be a drowned wraith of a bloodthirsty pirate out for revenge against anyone and everyone who's ever scorned him, spurned him, plotted against him, or had any negative intent against him (which is further fed by his bloody rampage since as people get scared and suspicious of him his list grows as more people fear/hate him).
His eye glow needs to be a bit brighter/foggier and the slashes on his head need to be more red and raw, in addition to his head getting more grimy. Overall I like his kit and his concept his model just isn't quiet living up to the teaser hype
Overall, he looks less menacing in-game. Where's the eerie green glow? Where's the blood? Why are his supposed "teeth" so oversized as opposed to overly sharp? It just looks goofy. The only "horrifying" thing about him right now is how badly he's going to get nerfed from the get go. And we all know what happens to new champions who get nerfed.
