Changes for the sake of change...not a good enough reason?
Was anyone really dissatisfied with the way Morgana used to look? I though she looked great. I don't understand why they need to change the art.
Someone explain.

I like Morgana but I do prefer her wearing something that looks like actual clothes now instead of that weird Skirini (Skirt + Bikini) combo she had before.
That said, I wouldn't mind a Pool Party Morgana skin that was a reference to her old look with her in a bikini and a big towel wrapped around her waist.
Well, she doesn't look like a walking tent anymore. She also have a much interesting design now & is less generic.
I've been a Morgana OTP since season 1. Morgana is the only reason I play League. I was pretty disappointed with the visual update.
To me this is how Morgana should have looked after her update:

Although, that's obviously her exiled skin not the base skin.
I feel like Morgana has always had very unique eyebrows. They made her look strong/confident.
The new Morgana feels like an overly emotional teenage girl.
Oh well. This will probably get downvoted.
Her old visuals were lower quality due to being old. Like she looked like a walking tent and her wings were just waxy and shedding. So most certainly she needed updated visuals, but did she need an updated design? I think so, yes. She was too much of generic fallen angel with nothing interesting about her design or to tie her into the world. New Morgana plays into the seraph theme but she also binds her wings with chains which is pretty unique. Furthermore she has a lot more tie into Targon in her art and by extension Demacia too. There's a lot to her new design that makes it generally a better design, but I still think they could have pushed her further. Her lore explains how she rejects divinity and wants to embrace humanity. Regalia and royalty are associated with divinity and both concepts are "above" the common man and mortals.
It honestly would make more sense for Morgana to wear more commoner clothing and show just how much she rejects the magical and moral superiority Kayle embraces. One way you could also tie her more to human desires and humanity would be to make her a bit heavier as divinity is usually represented through beauty.
Either way, commoner clothes and less super idealistic generic sexy chick would help differentiate her from Kayle more even though they are twins simply because she is supposed to contrast in appearence and beliefs.
She needed change, but Riot are known to do change for the sake of change
Is it gratuitous sexuality, sure. Are the male characters super jacked, good looking and have killer abs often showing. Yes. Does anyone whine? No. Double standard.
She needed changes. Her model was bad. Naturally, her art followed. Her outfit was questionnable, her design wasn't that good... I'm saying this as a Morgana main. I like her before, but she needed these changes
