Xayah's design;

Is the cutest thing I have seen since Ahri. Absolutely waifu-tastic.

Thank you Riot. Please, continue this direction, I know I said this recently but now that it has been fully revealed I mean it more than ever. After several misfires (Taliyah/Kindred/Illaoi/Poppy/etc.), we finally have a grand-slam with Xayah.

The aesthetic of her skills, her splash, her outfit, her cat ears (even though she's bird) are adorable.

EDIT: Just heard the voice.... sigh, why Riot? first good design in a long time and the voice lines and vocal performance absolutely ruins it. Oh well, at least Evelynn will always be Evelynn <3

It is really annoying that the character talks about compromise (Not compromising) but she reeks of it. They made a cute character but they had to compromise a large chunk of her character to the propaganda they've been fueling. Couldn't you just make ONE new champion that isn't pandering?

Just because you don't like a champion's design or aesthetic does not make them "misfires".

Taliyah and Illaoi are some of the most interesting female designs in the game in virtue of how unique they are among the cast. Having distinguished characters makes them feel real, recognizable, and memorable--both in game and out. If all you want is more "waifu" material, go play League of Angels or something.

WTF, Taliyah is an amazing and underrated champ, both in character and in game. Poppy is adorable. Kindred is extremely creative. Illaoi is annoying af to lane against but an imaginative concept nonetheless.

Just because they don't fit your creepy little anime waifu fantasies doesn't mean they're not good characters. Most of us like some TnA, but to say a character is a "misfire" because they aren't thicc or conform to your fetish?

Look up "Gabi Garcia" m8. Brazilian jiu jitsu champ. She would armbar you into Oblivion. And just admit it. "Good" to you is someone you would bang. Nothing else. You want big ol titties on a models body. "Unappealing?" You only use that word to describe appearance, and that is only a fraction of what goes into making a character.

And if you find illaoi, taliyah, etc "unappealing," then exactly what features are it that you find "appealing?"
