Why go this path with Fiora
I know there is a lot of post about Fiora already. But browsing Surrenderat20 i found out this picture:
You see when I first saw her new look I immediately though that instead that slim pice of cloth she now has and those strange shoulder pads, she should instead have a coat over one shoulder, or at least similar looking cloak. Now when I look at the concepts that are shown in that picture above. I can see that both options were considered and for some reason scrapped. (I am talking about concept No. 2 and 4)
What I am interested in is why did Riot choose this path, because in my opinion the coat gives her more grace and style. It reminds me of musketeers which is exactly how I see fiora. Great fighter with style and bit of high ego manifesting in show off combat style, dancing around her enemy and finally getting applause when she defeats her enemy (talking about ulti). Not even talking about how cool would it be if she threw the coat away when activating ultimate to symbolize that the shit is goinna go down.
