About this Malzahar touch up

It feels like you guys are going the Sivir/Taric route. Changing things that don't need to be changed. Malzahar's clothes are now pink, his skin is a pasty color and looks like a noodle. The changes just feel weird. When I stopped playing for a while and came back to play the Sivir update had already happened, I thought it was a new champion. Her whole being was replaced, like a stepford wives kinda feeling. Please do not do this to Malzahar when you get around to his model update(which I'm sure will happen someday).

Malzahar is from the desert, his skin has a darker tone from being in the desert, lightening it does not feel right or needed. His clothing matched his spells which are a shade of purple, now his clothing is a shade of pink, which do not match his spells. Its changing things that were fine. I do agree with the toning down of his bizarre muscle definition. His arms were clunky and weird. I don't mind the lack of diversity when it comes to the human champions, what bothers me is the replacing of them. (Sivir)

When Malzahar's model update does come, even if it is small( like Singed size) I think it should be modeled after the chinese artwork for his djinn skin. Its one of my favorites concept wise.

I like my evil prince of the void, and I'm unsure about the direction yall are taking him.

So just because he lost his tan and got some new clothes,he got replaced by someone else?You know that no one has to wear the same colour as his abilties?

But on a serious note,I also think that purple was more fitting and that he should have a tanned skin(before he actually looked like he was black,which was always odd,cause his splash arts depicted him otherwise)

Sivir didn't really change that much design-wise,she more or less just got a polished version of her old design.(her VO however did change a lot,which represents her actual character waaaay better)

No I mean in his future update which is inevitable. He hasn't been drastically changed yet. And I personally digged the rugged old Sivir. And his new splash depicts him lighter, his first splash looks like his ingame model.

Ya the texture update is a little.... to vibrant i guess. there was no reason for the pink and i del the should change it back to purple. That overlord skin though :D

Mali Zahar is just fine.

And chinese splashes are... not for the league.

A lot of the new splashes that everyone thought were new, are actually just chinese splashes. Malzahars default skin, and shadow prince are chinese art. There are a lot of them.

Nope. The only ones i know of are Crimson Akali and couple of XinZhao's skins. And none of adopted Chinese splashes ware labeled as "New Splash art".

And i did not said that they aren't any. But that I dont like them, more precisely i don't like how the represent the champs, hence not for league.

Does this very sexy! girl looks like she is saying : **Cut purse? No. Cut throat? Yes! **. Is she looking like she has grown in a harsh desert and is a cold blooded bandit leader - the one above looks like she is looking for a wi-fi hotspot. I don't see Sivir's character in that splash and i dont even Lore.

I just like Malzahar's chinese splash for his djinn skin. And bloodmoon Akali is also a chinese splash. Same with her Nurse Akali splash. There are a lot of them now.
