TO WHOEVER DESIGNED VI

I dont know where this is supposed to go but i just want to say that whoever designed vi did an extremely good job,aesthetically i think she is one of the coolest champions in league and her whole play style and appearance really solidify the character vi ,everything from the her funny qoutes ,her play style of charging through the whole team with her ult and pummeling everyone with the shockwaves of her punches.even the smallest things like the thing she does when she recalls and she lifts her fist like a boxer in victory.Out of all the champs ive played vi fits the character of what vi is supposed to be ,Everything just feels really well thought of and lost of effort ,theres no generic video game cliches or should i say that the perfect use of some video game cliches make vi feel extremely unique

Just wanted to express my appreciation for this quality of work ,we need more champs like vi !

edit: Another champion who does this really well is ekko ,and just as i go to check who designed vi i see its the same guy who designed ekko ! this guys is a great designer,well done GYPSYLORD VI <3 <3

I'm not going to even bother commenting on her kit.

Because of her, I get to achieve my one dream:

Punching the hell out of everything.

actually it was somewhat of a failure with her design as she was supposed to be a top laner.

She is a great champ and I love to play her but the idea of what they wanted her to be was wrong.

Whoever designed Braum. Gameplay will always be amazing.

His character is just so much fun to play with.

Gypsylord is a God. All 3 Zaun champions he designed are awesome and fulfill their fantasy extreamly well, and only Ekko came out a little bit overloaded with his W.

I agree, she lines up on all fronts as Vi. The hextech-fist badass that is about to knock you into next week if you don't get out of her way. I haven't played Ekko, but I can say I haven't play another champ that lines up anywhere close as well as Vi.

I main Shyvana, but her lore is a half-dragon trying to find acceptance/home, her design is a half-armored woman who until she ults doesn't really look that much like a dragon, more like she has dragon-based armor, and her kit is attack something relentlessly until dead. Don't get me wrong I love my dragon-lady dearly, but there is a disconnect.

Vi? Her lore paints her has a rough and tumble scrapper whose first second and third options in ANY situation is to punch it. Her design are this two massive fists that if they connect with your face you KNOW that is going to hurt in the morning, and her kit is punch this thing into submission and then punch it some more. It all lines up to make a really nice champ.

Not to mention her login screen? Have you checked her login screen? No? Really? Ok here you go.

Funny I feel the exact same way for Gnar and I think I remember reading he was designed by the same dude as well! :o

only thing I dislike about her....is that dumb dance.... -.-

Most satisfying kit in the entire game hands down. Nothing feels better than crunching your teeth while you spam your ring finger on the W button on the poor bastard playing adc on the enemy team. Even better is ulting a stupid Vayne while she helplessly tumbles and tries to condemn you away only to die a painful death and type "durrrrr wow so much skill l2p phaggit". Perfect counter to the most annoying bitch on the game.

Lol she was basically a juggernaut before juggernauts were a thing. Build 1 damage item and instantly melt the carry and tank damage since you only needed one damage item to do so. Pure cancer.

Besides her no counterplay ult, I like her design a lot.

Gypsylord's designs are overtuned, but he's good...however, I lost a lot of respect for him after Ekko was released.

Huh, you praised the design of Vi and then Ekko, and I think both of their designs are some of the most shallow and uninteresting in the game.

Vi's design is a chaotic mess, with pink side shaved hair, giant metal gloves, a half of a skirt thing, a kind of boobplate breastplate, metal plates strapped to her thighs, and gear goggles on her head, with VI tattooed on her face. If I were to see someone walking down the street like that, I would say they were trying too hard to stand out. She reeks of "corporate cool."

Her kit is fun though.
