The Shadow Isles Green is Ugly and Kallista Isn't

First off, I hate the color of Kallista's/Thresh's/Karthus' abilities. It's ugly and distracting and I dislike how all of them are the sameish color, it can be difficult to distinguish in teamfights.

Secondly, why are all of the females from the land of undead monstrosities all attractive females? We have the male undead centaur, the male emaciated corpse, the male scarecrow, but all of the females look relatively human. Eve's just a hot chick with blue skin, Elise's human form is a hot chick in a halloween costume, and Kallista's a hot chick with weird skin and a weird hand. Why isn't she some sort of monster?

Nothing turns the boys on like an emaciated corpse with a spear-pierced sunken chest, an arched back, awkwardly bent arms, and massive bony claws. http://news.cdn.leagueoflegends.com/public/images/pages/kal/img/kal-wallpaper.jpg

Wait wait wait... "The Male Scarecrow" is NOT from the shadow isles... for now and a rioter said that he was not going to be from that place anyways.

Kalista seems kind of emaciated to me >.> So not really that hot. Male Scarecrow? Fiddlesticks isn't even from the Shadow Isles. No one knows if Eve is actually from the Shadow Isles, if you actually read her lore, it says it is speculated that she is from there, but she never says. Elise is supposed to be seductive so she can sacrifice people to a giant spider.

So here are the champions that are from the shadow Isles.

Elise Elise - Sexy lady to lure in men and sacrifice them to Vilemaw. Evelynn Evelynn - Speculated to be from the Shadow Isles, as of her old lore Hecarim Hecarim Karthus Karthus Maokai Maokai Mordekaiser Thresh Thresh Yorick Yorick

Here are the champions associated to the Shadow Isles, but not from there.

Lucian Lucian - Thresh took his wife, Senna, so obviously he is connected to the Shadow Isles because Thresh has his wife's soul, vengeance shall be his, yada yada yada. Nocturne - Physically manifested in the Twisted Treeline according to the Wiki Warwick Warwick - Obtained Silver from the Shadow Isles also according to the Wiki.

So in conclusion, there are only two current women from the Shadow Isles, Elise, who seduces men and Evelynn, supposedly her place of Origin.

So I personally find Kalista emaciated and looks like a corpse. I don't find her sexy. But really, that only makes three women from the Shadow Isles and in my personal opinion only two out of three of the women from the shadow isles are sexy.

I'm not sure I would call Kallista "hot". Attractive sure, but I don't find her sexualized like Elise and Eve. Probably the same reasons why female Yordles look more humanoid than the men.

It's a girl, making sure it's got breasts and is fairly human looking comes before all other design choices when Riot makes a new female character. That's why most of the female monster/animal champs turn into scantly clad sexy women.

got a problem with hot chicks?

tbh I wonder why she is so green ingame,she looks rather blue on the splash art and I also think that that would be more fitting and would help her to be more different.

About her looking human: well she is a ghost,I mean it is a bit jarring but ghosts are supposed to look rather human,so I can see why they decided against making her less human looking(However I think they should add a less human looking woman and/or a more human looking male to the shadow isles in the future)

Wait a minute.

She's an overly hot chick?

She strikes me as Amazon pretty. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AmazonianBeauty?from=Main.HotAmazon

But still creepy and undead.

She's not a random

#SOFT WOMAN

In a monster costume.

She's also clearly visually athletic, and I hedge my bets that she is from Rakkor tribe.

Ummm....are we looking at the same champion?

Those wrinkly "dried branches arms, that emancipated almost masculine face, the lack of any sex appeal whatsoever. She's no Urgot , but she definitely isn't attractive in anyway. She doesn't even show any boobs at all.

And keep in mind what role Kallista is supposed to fill and what the male Shadow Isle champions you have in mind are supposed to fill.

Can't say for Kallista. But I only agree with your opinion on Karthus. TOO green-ish. It works on Thresh though. But Karthus is far too messy.

You're right. We need a sexy, male, champion from the Shadow Isles. Besides Yorick , of course.
