What's wrong with Fiora's new clothes?

I mean.. what? I am really sorry, but this is a huge downgrade. What is going on? Is this for real? I'm kinda shocked. And more than that, the thing about "Fiora won't get any new skin because she will look really different after rework" means NOTHING. Reeeaally? http://lol-game.ru/attachments/fu-banner-jpg.81852/ http://lol-game.ru/attachments/image-4-jpg.81853/ http://ru.leagueoflegends.com/sites/default/files/styles/scale_large/public/upload/art/bg_champion_fiora_1920x1080.jpg?itok=YhRsQXmb

I wouldn't say it's a downgrade as much as "equally bad". They're pretty bland, and I don't think "nimble fighter" when I see her. I mean old Fiora had that Joan of Arc thing going on, which is bland, but this one...this one is kind of nothing.

THIS! Exactly this! I'm pretty sure that everyone was expecting something MUCH better than her current outfit, but we not only get nothing special about her new looks, but she even loses the details and looks even more tasteless.

I dunno how old fiora had that whole joan of arc thing going on. She looked a bit more knightly(despite her not being an actual knight),but thats about it.

I used that exact term just a minute ago. Downgrade.

The three-pronged shoulder cape, the red highlight, the stylish jacket. Gone. ALL gone. And replaced with... empty? Not digging the shoulderpad, either.

Not digging any of it. I really liked Fiora. I was really excited for this rework. But I didn't expect... expect.... this.

Hopes dashed.

I'm starting to believe that her rework is really rushed. They didn't have to to show Fiora that early or had to ask community about what do they expect from rework (like Taric), so they could change it in the process. Now we have to deal with it.

I really dislike her new outfit as well...

I honestly think that there really isn't much they can do to Fiora visually to make her less...Uh.Bland like?

She's a duelist/fencer.

They don't really wear anything that drastic. unless you want to see her in actual fencing clothes.

Which I doubt a lot of you want.

Honestly, the new look is slightly better, because it makes her look like a rich, stuck up bitch, and that's sort of who she is.

Have you ever seen any REAL LIFE fencing? Those clothes would be extremly impractical ^^

KrizalidJul 21, 20152 votes

Dude, this game is called League of Legends, not "World's Swordsmanship Championship Simulator". It's a fantasy game. FANTASY, CARL.

Guess Garen doesn't need armor. It is a fantasy game, after all. He can fight in his briefs.

KrizalidJul 21, 20151 votes

He got fantasy armor. But oh well, it's Garen, he can fight while being unprepared.

Justice is never unprepared.

Personally, I don't think it would fit Fiora that much, but if it's what most people want it's fine. Though imo, those match her older look more. I feel like armor would weigh her down, making her not move as fast possibly? (A weak argument, but I guess it would work that way?)

Her new look looks more sleek and fast movement looking.

Idk, I probably just like her new design more for some odd personal reason.

the clothes are almost the same...

I like her new look, she looks sleek.

GapyboJul 21, 20153 votes

Why did they age her for like 15 years!? That stereotypical mid 40's, plastic surgery face. EWWW. Also her torso looks plain now.

TheFancySkeletonJul 21, 20151 votes

I never liked Fiora. Atleast her face looked good.

GreenLoreJul 21, 20152 votes

Her chest and leg armor seems more simplistic,while her shoulder and arm armor(as well as her sword) look actually more detailed than before.

However I think we should keep in mind that "tons of little details" doesn't always equal good-looking,I think adding some small tidbits all over her armor would look simply out of place and giving her boots would make her look too knightly.

ShénzhìJul 21, 20152 votes

It's totally an upgrade,.. No sarcasm. a Grand Master Duelist doesn't wear the things that her old default had.

SukishooJul 21, 20151 votes

Look pretty much the same... there are very small differences.

Still better than the dagger on her back that pierces her skull every time she looks up.

I even saw a fitting image... oh well. Damn you internet.

SolideusJul 22, 20151 votes

From an in-game perspective, the new design is just as good or better. From a promotional front-and-center perspective I could see it look a bit bare. Over'all I like the new Fiora better, though. I'm really happy they scrapped the metal-boobs.
