New Kayle look is terribad

So Kayle, one of the only women in the game in armor (who looked both plausibly attired as a battle-angel and awesome to boot) is redisigned wearing purple leotards with white bad-art-anime style pauldrons and grieves? aside from it being hideous, it almost looks like they couldnt figure out how to show her thighs and as in plate mail and decided to just remove the plates entirely so pre-teens could see she has hips. SOOOO stupid. this is easily the most embarassing art choice the game has made since lollipoppy 1.0

Sex sells, dude. There's not much we can do about it. This trend is going to continue, you know?

Deaf ears.

They've had 2 weeks to fix this, and numerous fan artists even did the work but a small indie dev like Riot can't afford to make any sweeping changes when almost every customer they have has asked for it. At least it's just her visuals that got Galio'd, and not her lore or kit.

Um....what? I can't help but feel like you people are never happy with anything. I'm a Kayle main and I love the way she looks now, she's no longer smaller than Twitch and her skins all look better than before imo. "ShE's SeXuAlIzEd" really? Because I don't see it. I think you're seeing what you want to see, because only one of her skins shows any skin (Transcended) all the others have her in full armor. Hell Aetherwing got bulkier and has more armor than it did previously and Riot lost what little skin it had shown.

At least one of her skins makes her look like she is in complete armor

Old Kayle was better in literally every way.

kayle looks fine to me, not sure why so many folks are arm-chair designers about this rework.

IMO; Kai'sa is WAAAAAAY worse designed. kayle looks cool to me, like an awesome template for a D&D angel.

Old Kayle was basically the Samus of League of Legends.

I'm going to miss her but Riot wants to sell virtual ass and tiddies.

I hate upvote/downvote systems, it's effectively a way for people to censor what they don't like. But I digress from that train of thought.

Hhaavviikk, mate, she's still wearing armor, literally only one of her skins has her with like no armor or clothes on. And there is nothing wrong with Leona wearing heels, heels aren't even remotely feminine or "sexualized" unless you've eaten lead paint chips and learned nothing of history. You're making a fuss over what? She's got a figure? She had a figure before too, you had to be literally blind to not see it. You're mad because she's not flying around like a damn fantasy medieval knight in full on plate? Do you know how little sense that plate armor makes? Theres no mobility or flexibility in that armor, if justice is to be swift a full set of plate is not going to make that happen. I could point out how she also looks like some interpretations of Angels or how the Greco-Roman image of Justice has a fairly hour-glass figure but I feel like you'd ignore it and have me downvoted because you don't like facing inconvenient facts.

Good luck KaibaNotAFriend, I feel as though you'll need it since logic and common sense are seldom the allies of folks like our dear Hhaavviikk here.

her design makes it clear their focus was on making sure you can always see her hourglass figure, hence the skintight latex suit around her abdomen and lack of armor there

well theres rito kayle skin that has a good amount of armor all she does is remove her helmet after 11. thats a plus.

It's just the purple blob in the center of standard skin. It's SO unappealing.
