What the hell have they done to Akali

Why is Akali now an edgy tomboy slut looking like she hangs around gang members too much? Why does she talk like a 15 year old in a rebel phase? I'd also ask why they turned an already annoying to play against kit into one even worse, but I already know the answer, just look who made her.

It's clear there is at least 1 VERY nihilist writer in Riot's higher chain of command, who has an extreme distaste and personal stigma against anything neutral or positive in the conventional sense. And instead, they go out of their way to write and re-write everything to be in terms of cynicism, every character is either delusional or crazy, and anyone who is enlightened or well disciplined is either interpreted to be "weak" or some kinda individual without spine or whatever; they will make sure those people are portrayed in that light.

There is a reason why most of the recent release and re-releases are characters with mental issues and a severely broken outlook in life and other people, and even if they weren't, this guy will make sure they become one.

Pretty judgemental, you don't even know her yet :D

It's annoying that Riot "re-imagines" champion lore like that. I know how salty i was with Katarina's new splash art and i cried endlessly on the boards but the splash art is still here after years

My biggest dissapointment was the rework of Gangplank though.

He turned from a really fun and swell guy who likes to crit and had the funniest quotes ingame to some sour edgy dude that i hate and never played ever since the rework.

Next champ will be mundo. He will turn from fun guy to some edgy hulk ripoff with a tragic backstory coming back from the dead
