Has your company recently changed graphics designer(champion, skins, etc.) recently? I have noticed the newer champions and some of the reworks that have been done are getting very....cartoonish. In my opinion, it looks lazy, childish, and not well thought of. It appears, as if, there's no real time put in to making these newer champions and reworks(as well as some older ones). Like, you guys are just trying to rush through graphics, make them cartoonish, just so a new champion can be released.

When I first started playing league back at the end of season 1 and really became a serious leaguer at the end of season 3, there were new champions every couple weeks and the graphics and realism(which in my opinion, again) gave the game a real replay factor and almost makes you think you ARE that champion. I quit playing last year because of the simple fact it appeared the champions were becoming cartoonish and the newest champion just reiterates my fears and puts a dampening on wanting to keep playing. Don't get me wrong I love the competition and the game itself, however, the big reason I have played LoL, is because of the realism of the champions(mostly even the portraits themselves have became cartoonish). Your caitlyns', mf's and swains' of the league of legends realism world are dying. I'm sorry I just don't want to see this happen because THIS is what made league different. THIS is what made league standout from DOTA, Smite, and all the other moba's. Sorry for the rant and thank you for the time. I hope you guys take this suggestion seriously, I really do, for your players, and your fans sake.

Thank you.

some have while others haven't. kayn, Camille, and ornn seemed good to me while zoe and rakan seemed a little cartoonish for me.

yes I agree, look at zoe then look at mf, ziggs, zac, they are good, but zoe is very cartoonish, also, the new project skins are amazingly badass :)....

@metavolca what do 90% of video game developers and designers strive for? a realistic looking game. obviously all games are just games in the end but why produce childish looking champions when they have the ability to make skins and champs that look like the new project skins? IMO, zoe is TOO cartoonish for me and I don't need pointless comments like yours. I just wanted some honest imput.

so thank you @that one darius

Not everyone has the same taste as you,get your head out of your ass,i personally also dislike the cartoonish characters,but as a whole,League of Legends is 10X more cartoonish than Dota 2,and i personally enjoy the cartoonish graphics more than realistic ones but to a certain degree,for example how World of Warcraft graphics look,or how LoL looks compared to Dota2,also some people really like the design of Zoe,not every champion can look perfect for you,and thats the beauty of finding those few that do

You know a videogame is just a large interactive cartoon, right?

i think the new champs like taliyah, camille, orn, kayn, kled.. they all look pretty good, not really cartoony.. def fit in the runeterra realm, good designs in my book compared to some of the very first ones like annie and the yordles and obv rip-offs like mundo and ww being just hulk and a big bad warewolf... and niv is just a bird? fiddle is just a scarecrow.. so idk man.. i like the direction league has taken and i disagree with your opinion if youre gonna argue the latest champs are too cartoony and simple and feel cheap, you really should hate the old classics too, but come on, if the design bothers you so much.. why are you even bothering playing something you dont like?
