You'd be surprised how many people would hate on this for "anime" and "edge".

Wasn't aware edgy anime held the monopoly on the power struggle between a man and a living weapon market. Smh.

I was wondering whether or not that anime they're all furiously talking about and referring to is called Warcraft3: Frozen Throne.

The trope of the cursed object corrupting the hero with the promise of power is as old as fantasy (The Ring in Lord of the Rings?!), heck even antique mythology at some point. I think the market is a bit oversaturated, that's my view on it.

Nah, I don't have any problem with that trope.

I have a problem with this "too cool and awesome and badass" attitude. Really badass characters don't have that attitude, they don't need to announce how cool they are or wear the armour with most spikes in the shoulders they can find, because in fact they don't give a fuck about their reputation.

This Kayn is an edgy fashion victim that tries too hard to look evil more tan anything; Jhin handles the "I'm so fucking cool and psyco" much better.

Jhin isn't cool.

Jhin is the kind of guy who screams at you for liking comics instead of fine arts

I like the idea that an impetuous and arrogant youth with a big mouth is actually strong for once. The stoic badass that doesn't announce themself is fine and all, but sometimes we need the loudmouth that is actually as strong and skilled as he says he is.

So we can see them get stabbed by an equally loud mouthed scythe.

I think the shoulder spikes are part of Rhaast's corruption unless i'm misinterpreting things

Doesn't really explain why Kayn can't wear a sleeveless shirt.

B/c he has abs and the ladies need to know. Obviously.

Honestly, I think he's meant to come across as an edgelord, kinda gives him a "he's way over his head" vibe.

Plus, his personality ain't really all that edgy. He's not very happy about killing Shen or Zed, and seems to have a disdain for Noxian brutality.

TheMoralSupport1 votes

My favourite self-deprecated edgelord must be Reaper, Kayn can take a seat.

In his defense the spikes are only on the side that I assumed rhaat (if thats his name) has taken over

the living weapon really isn't what's anime about him. it's pretty much everything else.

You can thank Somnicidal for this one (with support from the rest of the illustration team as usual) High fives to him, because this was a challenging one to nail and boy did he nail it :)

Are you planning to fix the placement of his nipple on his model? It looks so painful and weird seeing where his nipple is placed compared to where ours are typically located... Unless that just comes with being a bad ass reaping man.

Yes, that weird nipple is the source of his power.

Because all adc mains are bad people and only adc mains are people who complain.

I like Rhaast personally. I think it's safe to assume that Darkin are now officially the "demon" race of LoL, so I find him quite enjoyable. His impatient and at times sassy attitude towards Kayn is really funny.

We have demons like Tahm Kench and Nocturne though.

Ya gotta be careful with the copyright man... (Although a Soul Eater inspired skinline does sound interesting...)

BLACK REALM GOD1 votes

believe it or not... copyright isnt as powerful as some people make it out to be. most of those things are generic. copyright really only protects patents for the most part.

exact combinations though are still limited, but you have to have very very very specific descriptions. otherwise there will be loopholes.

That nip

Sammystorm1 votes

people have nipples and no it isn't wierd.

Milodic Mellodi1 votes

It's the implication that guys can show nipples in art while women can't. If only ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Sammystorm1 votes

That is a cultural thing. People view boobs as sexual. Take it up with the culture?

Milodic Mellodi1 votes

Lol if only. Do anything about that and feminists will be all up in your grill for days XD

Sammystorm4 votes

Not really just feminists. Feminists if anything go the other way and say women shouldn't have to cover up their chests.

Ralanr1 votes

And badly written ones give dumb reasons to show it.

Like power girl's decision to make a boob window on her chest instead of taking the emblem. She could have just said no and walked away.

I am offended and feel the males in this game are over sexualized having to always show their chest, while others like Miss Fortune can't show their nipples. EIther put a bra on Kayn or free miss fortune ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
