Bad Postures?

Are there any champions for whom you like the concept, the splash, the model, but dislike the postures?

I really like Quinn as a champion, and I also really like her skin ideas, but every time I imagine the skin on her in-game model, I feel that it's not as nice, purely due to her weird posture.

I can't really put my finger on it.... maybe it's because how far apart her legs are, maybe it's because I don't know what her right hand is supposed to do, maybe its because of her hunch, but it's just a far cry from her concept art, and doesn't look half as cool.

Is it just me?

Does anyone have other champions they feel the same way towards?

Well, one problem with comparing her skins to her concept art is because in her initial stages, Quinn was going to be a melee assassin, as evident by her carrying knives in the above pictures. As for what she leaves her right hand free for, it's so Valor always has a perch he can return to if he needs it (her right hand is where she has the bracer to protect from his talons). Her hunched over posture is so that she maintains a low profile (she is a scout after all), and is harder to spot. Same thing with the spread legs, it gives a lower center of gravity and makes her harder to be knocked over.

Admittedly, her concept art does look far cooler than her in-game art, but that is something that happens with a lot of concept art. Also, just thought of this, but it would be awesome if we got Quinn's brother as a champ, and he looked like this art (the second one with the first ones swords). It would be really cool if you had both that interacted with a bird in a similar way, and bringing in a character that everyone thinks was dead would be really cool (maybe a cool Demacia/Noxus lore event, like the one that we had with Shurima, to bring those regions in line wiht the new lore? Would be a chance to bring in some new champs for both sides, and they could do some updates like they did with the Shurima event, new VO lines and the like).
