Katarina's new splash looks great, why are people saying it looks bad?

She's an assassin that's been in multiple battles over her life, she's not supposed to look like a beauty queen. She shouldn't look "pretty" she should look deadly and scary in my opinion. I think Riot captured that in her excellently, does no one else see that?

Because the pose is absurd and the perspective makes her look goofy as all hell? That's my best guess. All this dynamic "action pose" crap in the new art is getting silly.

Her face looks like she had a stroke. I could care less about them messing up the post with their new dynamic splash bull but her face looks horrendous.

I like it too, especially the portal swirl around her leg like she just shunpo'd out.

I like 90% percent of it. I just think her face looks dumb

I feel like you can look scary without being ugly.

I like the old splash, maybe the new one will stop people from playing her finally. I'm tired of fed Katarinas in solo queue.

How would you feel if your female or male who look like a beauty and gets a downgrade? Plus her face and her legs are way too awkward even for a battle feature. If you want to argue with multiple battles, then all champion except for few shouldn't be good looking. Plus she represent Noxious as basically as a queen so yea...Deadly and scary can be beautiful like Elise, Riven, Vi, Jinx, Annie, Le Blanc etc. Oh please Riot don't downgrade taric. Taric is too cute as he is now :(

Kat looks deadly and scary. She has an eye of an assassin and the eye liner/battle scar does her well.

Just because you been in war doesn't mean you look like an ugly skank.

Just sayin...

  1. There's some weird foreshortening going on with the action-y pose
  2. They changed her facial structure to a pointy-and-bony shape they've been using on a large portion of the updated female splashes (see: Janna)

it looks terrible, man.

It does look great, and I hope riot ships it exactly how it is. I'll play a lot more Kat if they do.

is it possible to be pretty and deadly at the same time? you dont need to look fugly to deliver action right thanks. maybe from now on we only need ugly champions
