Don't Call It Death Blossom Kha'zix ffs

NinjaGuy69·Feb 25, 2016·1 votes·1,437 views

Seriously. Can we please avoid this effeminate bullshit with male champions please? Can you please just let the champion keep his decency and give him a proper name? He's a terrifying assassin from the void, not a sparkly flower creature from some hidden mystical woods. The fantasy for this skin doesn't even work with him. I know that having another Elderwood skin wouldn't be very creative but it would go well with the timing of Elderwood LeBlanc's release....and that's something.

EDIT: Just wanted to post this to stop the tears. I don't care about the concept of the skin at all. It's just the name that BUGS me. See what I did there? Anyway, looks like the trolls and basement dwellers are coming out strong tonight. It's been a blast so far.

Is your masculinity threatened by a fictional character having a flower motif? Really?

Kha'zix is a bug dude. I doubt IT cares much about gender and gender roles. Also, given that it absorbs qualities from the things it eats and evolves to be a more efficient being it's probably either genderless or a hermaphrodite. After all, being able to reproduce without needing a mate would be a huge asset to a creature from an evolutionary standpoint... ESPECIALLY for a creature that lives and hunts alone.

Do we need to staple some abs on him and give him a shirt that says "I love p*ssy" to make you comfortable?

Again, I don't care about the concept. The name just doesn't match his ROLE as an assassin. Read the thread, I didn't say anything about the concept. I was simply referring to the skin's name. Open your eyes.

It has "Death" in its name, how much more assassiny can it get?

....and then it has Blossom right next to that. It doesn't sound very intimidating to me all at. But, either way, I'll still tip my fedora to you for the comment, m'lady. I'm sure some of the Reddit trolls on this thread would appreciate the reference.

The Death blossom theme works extremely well since he's basically a praying mantis https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QdfGCscTMak/maxresdefault.jpg

That's great. They can keep his look the same. But I was talking about the name - it just doesn't fit him as an assassin.

Wow, even customers such as yourself can be a nuisance & so hard to please huh. Just because of a name. Not number balancing, but names.

It's like that guy you get in front of you at a store or something who spends twenty minutes complaining that his soda tastes like a coke when he ordered a pepsi... Then they give him a new soda and he approves... and it was the SAME DAMNED COKE.

I work in food service and no, I'm not bitter.

Agreed. Let's call it Bro Blossom Kha'zix.

Because death is too effeminate.

Oh jeez, someone's rather insecure about her sexuality. I guess we should give Kha Zix a grizzly beard and a brooding persona to achieve maximum "terror assassin".

Now where could the idea you hate the skin concept have come from?

Disliking the concept isn't the same as not caring about the concept and saying that doesn't matter. Riot doesn't give a shit what we think so why should we waste time caring about the skin concept? They took the time to make the skin, so they're gonna sell it. They don't have time to make huge changes to it, but they can make changes to something small - like the name. Read the title of the thread ffs.

Threads like this make me lose my faith in humanity.

You sound really insecure about yourself, man. Chill.

You sound like you have nothing better to do with your life than lurk around the boards while looking for others with legitimate concerns to troll. Move it along, kiddo. It's probably past your bedtime anyway.

BrutusnessFeb 26, 20161 votes

I should have expected that sort of comeback, you do seem to be a wannabe tough guy, complaining because a champion skin is associated with a flower. Have to show how badass you are by whining about it, and call me "kiddo" to feel big. It's funny, because anyone bitching about a champion skin name being too effeminate can't be much older than fifteen.

Aren't skins supposed to change the outlook of a champion?

Sorry, but you have no idea what the hell you are talking about.

Kha'zix is a Praying Mantis. He is a Void bug/man thing but he is designed after one. And it is pretty common for Mantes to be bright, flowery colors: blue-greens, gold, neon-pink, more than just that one species you see in a pet store.

This skin is to make him actually look like a real Mantis.

Keep the tears and the toxcity coming boyz. Rito will definitely love us for perpetuating stereotypes that the community is toxic. Kappa. This isn't just a thread - IT'S A MOVEMENT.
