Change the thumbnail of POP/STARS back to Ahri

The change from Ahri to Akali in the thumbnail doesn't make sense at all. Ahri is the original popstar and is one of the reasons why the K/DA skins were made in the first place. It defeats the point of having Ahri no longer the face of K/DA when the lore establishes her as the leader of the group and the theme is also supposed to represent her return to stardom after being gone for 5 years. Her original Popstar skin was released 5 years ago. So it makes sense why Ahri was the original thumbnail for the music video not Akali, Kai'Sa or Evelynn. Having Akali as the thumbnail defeats the logic, and the only reason why she is the thumbnail is because of the video itself and the reception she received. Please don't misunderstand when i say that i love the music video and it was well made. Akali's segment is good, but it still doesn't mean she should be the face of the video and K/DA. The change is completely unnecessary and wasn't needed.

This is my feedback and why i believe Ahri should be the thumbnail of the music video. I also dislike what they chose as the thumbnail as well because its completely in our face and looks obnoxious. If they had chosen one that wasn't forced to be in your face, then i would be ok with it. Still believe the thumbnail shouldn't have changed at all for any reason.

Feel free to discuss in a civilized matter whether you think Ahri should be the thumbnail instead of Akali.

I am not saying that Ahri shouldn't be the thumbnail because she is the group leader. I am saying she should be the thumbnail because its not Akali's place, she had no popstar skin to begin. Sure Akali may be a fan favorite and sometimes new stars get the spotlight more than ones that deserve it more. But replacing Ahri with Akali still defeats the purpose of Ahri's "return". Since people like Akali's segment then make new tracks focusing more on Akali rather than do something that was uncalled for.

One last thing since Ahri is the original popstar, people clicked on the video in the first place because she was the thumbnail

K/DA Akali is more popular than K/DA Ahri for a good reason, riot is smart to change it to Akali.

Lol give other champions a break. Ahri literally is League of Legends poster girl. She has the popstar skin, is leader of the Star Guardians with her legendary skin, and now is leader of K/Da as well. Let's not forget she gets a skin at least every 12 months if not less and is featured in several animations including the latest one of worlds where she's seen falling from the sky.

Despite all of this, you're really going to complain about her not being the thumbnail for K/DA? Get over it, people like K/DA Akali more and she deserves that thumbnail more than Ahri.

Interesting flair you have. Artistically, the Akali thumbnail is waaay better. Ahri is obviously shown to have her "group leader" role in the video but that's not enough for you I guess when a thumbnail is something you'd complain about.

P.S. many music videos don't have the singer or groups main singer as their thumbnail.

People love neon Akali, and she turned out the be the standout of the video. It's really not that big a deal tbh
