I agree I hate this redesign im hoping the skins are good.
Of course it's bad. It's a rework.
I remember when I was playing leauge a few years ago and my nephew watched me play. He saw Kayle's splash and instantly assumed that she was a man. I was amused and a bit disturbed by the fact that, to him, a character in full armor would be a man by default. I have always loved Kayle's classic skin design. It's grand but simple at the same time. I liked the fact that leauge atleast had ONE female champion who didn't have to show her face ( or the rest of her skin for that matter), just consider how many male champions the game has who hides their faces, Zed, Jhin, Shen, Viktor ( yes I know he has kind of replaced his face but still, the aesthetic is similar), Sure, Akali and Lissandra cover half their faces but there is something mysterious and elegant in hiding your whole identity like a super hero's outfit the way Kayle's armor does. I feel really let down by the choice of removing her full body armor, I really do not understand the reasoning behind the decision. We will probably get some kind of video or text on the development of Kayle and Morganas VGU but I have a hard time figuring out what reasons they had that would justify this frankly dull design.
Riot very obviously does not understand why people like Kayle.
She should be getting MORE armor as the game goes on, not less, and she should start fully covered. Kayle should look like Leona (with a helmet on), not like Leblanc.
Urgot, Warwick, and Morgana, were all good updates they look basically the same but updated. Kayle needs work.
Why is EVERY SINGLE PERSON forgetting that Kayle starts off with small wings, but gets FOUR MORE later in the game? Her initial set of wings are supposed to be small, as it's indicative that she's not yet at her full power, but once she gets all six, she's much more imposing. So you really shouldn't be comparing Kayle to her weaker form, you should be comparing her to her final form.
The wings are so she doesn't have to be a mini human.
Cartoony style looks like its something out of fucking fortnite.
The wings could be a tad bigger I guess but maybe this is to put in perspective what she'll look like in game and you have to admit you notice her wings more than the rest of her currently.
Ok It’s one thing to complain about sexualization but reall? Her wings?
Even though she’s shown in the same trailer to have two more forms that sport three full sized pairs? Really?
this is a joke right?
edit: where are the old aatrox mains to complain when you need them?
It looks "holier and scarier" than before. But as many people have already stated the hole in the armor is weird and feels like it's there just to please horny teens
In fairness, the wings in her original splash-art were very misleading size-wise.
But yes, it's a downgrade nonetheless, they took a full armoured badass and made her into a generic MMO character.
I understand the wings like how I understand Ao Shin's tail. It'd be too big and players would click on the wings to try and damage her.
Wings too tiny :( Big wings good, small wings bad!
You should compare old Kayle wizth her Fully Ascended form.
Nice comparing ingame to innacurate art of champion :)
