Concerning kayle she goes from wearing this full knights suit of goldish armor to now she has armor embellishments covering what looks like a competitive bicylists suit. I have always had the hunch riot puts ugly features on the base appearence of champions to incentivize the purchasing of skins, so with this in mind i hope kayle can get her armor back in a skin. If not, wtf riot.

A few reasons for this: Kayle is supposed to look mobile, doing all sorts of dives, spins, twists, and whatnot as she fights (since she's airborne). If they had made her model fully armored, it'd look really awkward with the way she's moving, because her armor (which is supposed to be solid metal) would bend and twist in ways it shouldn't, that's probably the major reason why her main body isn't fully coated in armor. A second reason would probably be because as an angel, she's supposed to be able to fight and fly, and heavy armor could be cumbersome, thematically, and wouldn't make a lot of sense for a character who's supposed to fly as her main mode of transportation.

Magic immortal angel from another dimension who lives only to fight could never handle a few lbs of body armor, thank you based riot for not breaking my immersion. Women are weak and we should never show them capable of handling gear in combat like a man would.

Can't make normal animations anymore, all new champions gotta jump around and turn in circles like they're mental.

Dude, we have a space dragon being able to die by a mere human. Do you really want to have lol be bound to logic?
