Any plans on Cait? I mean the hat is awesome of course but besides that her visuals seem to portray her as the exact opposite of the kind of women her attitude and overall feel suggests.

I mean sure its visually appealing for those who enjoy sexy women, but it just seems like fanservice at best. Not saying this kind of look is bad, but it just doesnt mesh as well as it could with Caitlyns persona. With elise id say the sexual look does work well because she is supposed to be seductive in order to lure men into her traps, but i doubt Cait uses her miniskirt in her investigations. Just my thoughts on the matter

Saved me the trouble of making it. If parrot doesn't reply, I'm going to be pissed.

My thoughts are generally along the lines of http://xelandra.deviantart.com/art/LoL-Caitlyn-Redesign-391316429, but the hat and current weapon, stupid as they are, are non-negotiable. I still miss Karma's fans, I will not lose Cait's hat.

Also id just like to say, as much as i dont like the reddit style on this site, it seems kind of stupid for the community to refuse to use it and lose out on conversations like this

Bump for answers. This better be worth it, Parrot.

I think that Caitlyn needs to fit her lore a bit better too, but I'm having a hard time imagining what that would look like. She's the Sheriff of Piltover, obviously, but she already has a Sheriff Caitlyn skin and an Officer Caitlyn skin. So how do you update her classic skin to fit her lore, without stepping on those other skins?

Steampunk sucks and isn't cool.

Don't do it.

I think you should keep the dress short in the front (maybe a tiny bit longer) and then make the back longer (like to the knees). Give the front of the dress a deep V but then keep the belt under the bust (Perhaps add some gold etching to it) so that the V extends below the belt. Kind of do a sweet heart neckline but extend it under the arm and have it connect in the middle of the upper arm with a cog button. The shoulder should be bare except for the existing brown strap that goes under the arm as well.

Get rid of the silly collar thing. Add some purple and ruffles to the gloves. I like her boots but you should make the gold part of her hat match the gold of the boots or vice versa.

I feel like she should be carrying some special rounds for her headshots and ultimates that could be attached to the belts on her legs. As for adding Piltover technology, you should make the etchings more consistent and perhaps that teal glowing substance like Jayce. OR make it purple for her. Her gun should have more gold embellishments to match also with that magic substance. The purple needs to be toned down and needs an added texture. I was thinking like a design with subtle stripes.

If I had time to draw I would!

I really just want Cait to feel a little more tactical. When it boils down to who Cait is -- she is a law enforcement sniper. And the "sniper" bit only shows through her ult and AA range. The thematic falls short, and nothing else in her kit or appearance does any justice to fulfilling the Sniper archetype that I feel players want to associate with.

As far as piltover is concerned, Cait is horribly outdated fashionably. For the record, I hate the hat, and think she'd be a stronger character without it, with an emphasis again on the sniper rifle -- which is the real reason to play Cait or associate with Cait. She can be fashionable, but the hat is really limiting. She definitely needs to drop the hat, get dressed to be Vi's partner, and bring a new rifle to the fields of justice.

I like her outfit in general
I like the belts on her leg
There's room for improvement on the gun
I'm not a fan of hats and TBH, something like that which you can add on, shouldn't be a part of her base model. Can we get a hat toggle?
Her hair needs a new look. I like it long like that, but the styling needs changed. Her outfit is begging for either pigtails or corkscrews, but I think either would be wrong for her (pigtails are the better option)
Keep the boots and the fingerless gloves.
I love her current breast size/figure as is. Don't change a thing.

In addition to a VU, she also needs a cyberpunk style skin that we can buy to go with her rework. Something from GITS or whatever.
