I'm here to release my item 2140 over the names of the new skins, Inquisitors were perfect, i was looking forward to buy them and play them, now i'm very disappointed with the name change, warden it's pretty dull, why would you do this? why rito!? Bring them back to the original name! item 3070 item 3070

Based on the whole "Burn nations to uphold law" description, I think "Templar" would probably be more fitting than Inquisitor or Warden.

Warden is not foreboding. You think of a Warden of the Forest or Warden of the Shire; Warden dredges up memory of protectors and defenders, not zealots who actively go out and burn down villages of "infidels." Inquisitor is a name that IS foreboding and ominous, as it brings to mind total and utter lawful good to the point that you would believe those people would slaughter their own families if they believed them to be impure.

From the PBE post:

We’re changing the names of Inquisitor Nautilus and Inquisitor Sivir to Warden Nautilus and Warden Sivir. We want these skins to feel imposing/foreboding when you play them and we think these names capture that fantasy more strongly than the previous ones. Again, sorry this is so last minute.

Yeh I like Warden more. Inquisitor has a bit too much religious meaning behind it. Not sure if that should be in LoL. Probably why Riot changed it.

I think it was because, Maurders by defintion means a person engaged in banditry. A warden is seen as an authority figure, like a prison warden. So i think its obvious that the 2 sets of skins were suppose to be counter parts to each other ( like the new voli/trundle and eve/twitch skins). Inquisitor however means, a person who is a part of an organization (inquisition) who eliminate people who commit acts of heresy and other anti religion stuff. So inquisitor and marauder don't fit together as warden and marauder, DESPITE inquisitor sounding more coooler.

Inquisitor brings to mind a religious police force, like the ones that the church used to have. Warden is more of the person whom oversees a prison.
