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?

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

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".

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

Because death is too effeminate.

You sound really insecure about yourself, man. Chill.

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

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.

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.
