Here's why. http://i.imgur.com/MyFpGrc.gif http://i.imgur.com/iYnq19r.png http://forums.oce.leagueoflegends.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=5923&d=1383284586 http://i.imgur.com/syhbr3n.jpg

plus she has an awkward pose and needs to be changed, I'm sure a woman of her kind can toss/carry the weapon without looking so try hard.

and eventually all her other skins will have a splash art update also.

her mouth needs to look like her holiday skin cuz the mouth she has now in her classic looks awful. it makes her look like she has buck front teeth, http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/img/champion/splash/Sivir_6.jpg

look how beautiful she looks in this GIF http://33.media.tumblr.com/406dd034d07b157f6c3317e8b6e57249/tumblr_nc0pgqrvEg1qgms01o2_500.gif

She's bent over way too far. You don't need to get into that position to perform that throw. Let's look at how Cap does it.

SEKAIFeb 5, 20151 votes

You have different poses when you're preparing for a throw and after you've already tossed it, let's not mention the pose differences depending on how far you're throwing.

But ok.

Reynard the ƒoxFeb 5, 20154 votes

at no time should she be in that position no matter whether shes at the beginning or end of the throw

Why can't you just put yourself in her shoes for 2 sec?

You ran, you stomped the ground, lowering your stance and throwing the thingy the next instant.

What's so hard to grasp?

Reynard the ƒoxFeb 5, 20153 votes

you dont seem to realize the silliness of her being bent over that far

its simply not needed

stop being dumb

SEKAIFeb 5, 20153 votes

People exaggerate when drawing arts,

But there is nothing wrong in bending over to throw the thing.

Urgh. Need? Why you only draw when its needed?

in volleyball they do that and it's shows the same results and it's only a ball.

What if she's just ducked under something else, and is in the process of coming up into a throw?

that's a pretty good idea (:

Works for me, I think. And there's no particular reason she has to throw her blade horizontally; she could be aiming for a more diagonal or even a vertical throwing position, which seems like it would work with that windup.

i find just that position looking weird. Like it looks like she's falling towards the right but then when you look at her body it's straight o_O

Every time I see that splash, I think of Rob Liefeld, and only because of the mouth.

First what's wrong with her teeth again? It looks perfectly normal to me.

Secondly what if that is actually meant to be buck front teeth, do you have a problem with that?

it's the way its drawn. It's bad and the pose just makes it look weird. I would like them to make a newer better version of Sivir's splash art. The art can be improved for her I mean look at her when she was in that one video, beautiful.

SEKAIFeb 5, 20151 votes

It's a more active pose, if anything.

Throwing a thing that big requires your stance low which is exactly what she is doing in that splash art.

But I guess people prefer having a meaningless beauty shot over a pose that actually means something. It can have some improvements, yes, but saying it's bad means you have no idea.

Not to mention I couldn't care less if she doesn't have the best teeth, as if I care, as long as it's not simply non-functional.

well they did make a skin that resembles almost as wonder woman for her. Maybe she's like captain america who has superior strength so this kind of pose of her isn't needed but I agree with that dude who just edited his post, it SHOULD look as epic as the drawing he mentioned.

Don't be sexist thinking that all women are weak and can't carry something that large.

Wat

Firstly the thing is almost as big as her, secondly she is just PREPARING to throw it (which is why sand underneath is kicked up as she is stomping on it to get maximum momentum going), ofc once you toss it your stance will be higher it's only natural.

Whatever, think what you like and Riot will prob change it for you, I couldn't care less.

I thought that is a pretty decent art (I sometimes like when an action is beginning to be done instead of already in the motion), if only a bit awkward in loading screen sometimes but if consider the art as a whole it could easily get a solid 7/10.

Pretty sure Sivir can carry her weapon as if it was paper. It offends me that you find her pretty weak sir.

SEKAIFeb 5, 20152 votes

There aren't many League characters who can carry things almost as big as they are and still think it's a piece of paper, even Barum and Tryndamere have a hard time doing it. Unless ofc he/she is clearly not human.

Not to mention if you wanna toss and make sure it goes far and actually lands, and we all know that you keep your stance low.

so just because braum and tryn have a hard time carrying wep means that sivir goes through the same thing as well? wow you basically think that all champions are the same when it comes to carrying things. Each weapon is different and you shouldn't just say it's all the same.

Sivir is a warrior looking girl who's tough, she shouldn't be considered weak or have a "hard time" tossing her own weapon that she is a master with.

For christ sakes can't she be the only woman on league for now that is able to carry something heavy? I mean look at Vi she's a tough B*** and is able to handle it just find with lethal force. Same goes for caitlyn, do you have any idea how heavy it is to carry a sniper like that for a girl? really dude lay off the whole ideal of Sivir having a tough time carrying/tossing her weapon.

you even mentioned the sand lmfao like seriously? you can mark sand EASILY go to the beach and toss a ball like sivir is tossing her weapon.

SEKAIFeb 5, 20153 votes

LoL champion roster isn't a power fantasy list, the champions to some degrees still have some form of realism being left in their design nature.

Vi can have her 2 fists since you can always say it's technology (hextech is strong enough to port a human into a machine), while in Sivir's case it's nothing but just a hunk of metal. Riven has a magic infused blade, and her combat style revolves around a lot of rotation which makes absolute sense to why she can actually hold a blade bigger than her, her actual attack speed isn't also not very high, she also learned to manipulate wind.

Don't bring up the gender bs here please, there really aren't many character in this game who can lift a weapon as big as they are without putting down any effort disregarding their gender, except either they are accustomed to weight lifting like Garen who wears full armour 24/7 (his armour and sword are also enchanted), has some fancy excuses like magic or techs, or they're simply not human.

I watch animes where girls lift weapons bigger than themselves all the time, but you have to take into account the context and background of the physics in the said universe instead of just beaching all universe to have people wielding gigantic weapons like nothing. Or give in to some nonsense that there HAS to be a physically overpowered female to appear "equal".

Please, consider which universe it is and how it functions.

Throwing a fit over a champion splash art that isn't remotely wrong.

If anything this is the question I should ask you really.

No, I'm basically saying that Riot can do better than that. If they can make a beautiful Sivir in that video then I'm pretty sure they can improve/do better with her splash art.

SEKAIFeb 5, 20152 votes

Someone brought up the sexism idea into this thread, well there he got it, gender equality bro not all females should appeal to the eyes eh?

Really though personal taste differ as I have said before, the picture doesn't hurt my eyes and makes absolute sense to me so I would personally like to keep it that way (maybe slight modifications).

But ofc it's but my opinion.

I just realized you're the dude who gets down voted a lot in gameplay section. What am i doing arguing with you lol, blacklisted.

Downvote matters?

Oh well, be my guest.

EDIT: And I only legit got downvoted to hell once when I wrote a satire post but kinda failed to gain any recognition.

SEKAIFeb 5, 20152 votes

I only have 1 acc in all my 4 years of LoL (and only this season onwards I have it ranked), since I have never been intrigued by the leveling aspect of games so there's that, not to mention I am never as lowly to think online upvote system actually matters.

Just because someone is upvoting for whatever reason on an opinion that is currently not favoured, doesn't mean it's done by the poster himself.
