Why does Camille have blade legs?

Knalxz··2 votes·3,561 views

That seems insanely impractical. I'm not going to pretend to be some blade master but what if she kills someone and needs to make an escape? Her feet would be literally covered in blood. She might be able to swing away but how many people are going to see that? All of the most likely.

I just seems like an odd choice of design. I feels less like someone had a great idea and more like they had to make it up on the fly otherwise they'd get fired.

Wouldn't walking in general dull the blades or at the very less put unnecessary amounts of stress on them. Judging form those hips, Camille certainly has alot of weight on her.

Balance also seems to bean issue. The moment the wind picks up she's flat on her ass. What if she has to step across a wet floor? Does some one just hope from the shadows and scream GG? I wouldn't be surprised that the reason Camille isn't hunting for Jinx is because she just carries a bag of marbles and throws them on the floor when she arrives.

Elise's tiny toes was already a stretch but atleast she can transform int a spider. Camille is screwed the moment she comes across a puddle or a patch of ice. I hope she can switch to a difference pair of legs when she's off duty because I'd hate to have her stole into my parlor stabbing my new carpet with her blade feet.

If she ever walks across a marble floor I think everyone in the room would kill hear from the screeching of her blades constantly scraping on the floor. Seriously how could you not hear blades clinging on the ground?

It's a world of magic and monsters and little rodent people who talk, stop overthinking stuff like this and try to appreciate a cool and different character design. Of course it doesn't make sense or is in any way practical. How does a fish with no legs just hover over the ground? How does Fiddlesticks do literally anything when he's made of rags and sticks? These kinds of questions are pointless because most of this world doesn't make real sense if you compare it to anything real.

All of those other things have excuses. Nami uses magic, Fiddlesticks is a creature from another dimension so in general he get's a pass on just shy of everything but Camille is person who exists is a city of science. What's the science behind her blade legs?

Was someone horny but wanted to protect their "love" bots?

The science behind it is just generic science, essentially magic because they don't explain how it works, like all the other machines in this game.

I'm not asking how her legs work but why she has them. Wouldn't it be infinitely easier to not have legs that'll make hidden evidence of a kill impossible?

how about you wait for her lore to find out.

imo she probably was in an accident and needed prosthetic legs, possibly having a fighting style that relied on kicking or legwork so she made them blades to make them extra deadly.

I mean, the force of a kick is already much stronger than potential punches, now she just made them less blunt and more sharp. not to mention legs are long and have a longer reach than arms, longer strike range. I also wouldn't be surprised if she potentially had multiple sets of legs to interchange between which would include a more "normal" set of legs.

she may also not really feel the need to hide who did it. Batman doesn't need to hide the fact that he took someone down, nor does spiderman. They let others know they did it because it adds value to their name, makes their enemies and targets fear them. When you have a mission like them, you make your name and deeds known to show others how strong you are.

so please, stop trying to discuss her legs like they're some sort of travesty and just wait until we have more info on a champ that was like literally revealed yesterday.

Again you misunderstanding what I'm asking. I'm not asking why she has cyborg legs but WHY HER LEGS ARE SWORDS!

You're trying to justify her blade legs when she doesn't need them she could easily have normal legs iwth swords on them not specifically blades they are legs. No amount of marital arts will ever bring logic to her not having normal robot legs with blades instead of straight up sword legs. LITERALLY NONE! It certainly has nothing to do with weight compensation. Have you seen those hips?

Also it's not a matter of kill credit, read my OP I spoke of general usefulness. How can she assassinate someone when everyone from a mile away will hear her sword legs clinging on the floor. Any slight gust of wind would throw her off balance or a wet floor. Not to mention outside of a perfect involvement they're useless. If she ever had to chase someone into Zaun, a city know to be filled with garbage, she'd be screwed. there would be no way she could maneuver in such a place.

You're trying to defend without a doubt the most insane design of a champion in the game without even talking about my points of why it's insane.

If sword legs are so practical then why didn't Viktor give them to Blitzcrank or why didn't he make a pair on his own?Since Camille has them why doesn't every cyborg just download a kick boxing program and use blade legs? Probably because they know it's crazier then jinx to do something like that.

How is this a valid argument to you?

insane or not, it is what it is and if you don't like it, don't play it. simple.

blitzcrank was not made for combat originally. He was just made as a forward step in science.

Also victor has his own form fo combat. He is not a physical fighter, he fights with technology and science.

Since Camille has them why doesn't every cyborg just download a kick boxing program and use blade legs?

as stated, everyone has their own form of combat. also a cyborg is not necessarily robot enough to download a program into their brain like a machine would onto a hard drive.

Me not playing it doesn't stop the explanation form existing. I'll never sleep knowing that her legs being swords is apparently science now.

Blitzcrank was intended to be a dumptruck but things went wrong and we got what he is now. He's known for literally punching everything in his sight because of the way he was built which he hates himself for.

Viktor is looking to become the perfect machine. If blade legs aren't apart of that then I guess that means it's an obsolete design. Regardless of it's combat applications and since he does actually go into combat what would be the purpose of limiting his own self with no blade legs? Probably because again he knows that even for him it'd be insane to do so.

I know that also it's a little weird that you didn't quote my last comment. Outsiders will likely read that and misunderstand what's going on. Anyways, what would be he point of being a cyborg if you didn't have all the advantages of machine and man? That's literally the entire point of becoming one. Why would you limit yourself to not having the ability yo download information or blade legs if they're are so superior?

Viktor and Baron Von LOVE ME both used a shit ton of lasers. Most likely because it makes more sense t o use something that moves at the speed of light from afar to kill someone then to use blade legs.

The simple answer to why she has them is because it looks cool.

Yeah but so does this

and yet everyone in this image uses a practical weapon. Even xenomorhps look at her blade legs thinking,

"Damn that's fucking stupid, just get a blade tail."

Flaherty1 votes

I don't know what to tell you, there is no real logical reason to have blade legs other than that it's different and cool looking.

She actually does look pretty sharp.

I think in the end, you have to accept nothing in League makes any sense, and just leave it at that.

To be fair we know he can change forms. I wouldn't say it's much of a stretch that he has some way to pick up objects. Also he's from another dimension. He gets a pass for being weird.

What's the point of down-voting his post? Just throwing stuff out there to get something going, which obviously seeing the comments, started going. Up-vote for asking a question and giving creative ideas about it.[slayer-jinx-catface]
