She should kept the helmet on at all times, or only frontal mask part come off/widens, League already has enough of no helmet females, kayle was like the only one always wearing a mask. And hades almighty that giraffe does not suit the armor. Also the six wings are a bit overkill.

The reason behind it is that Seraphims (the highest rank of Angels in christianity) have 6 wings.

Well at least they have a reason for the six wings, I just personally find them too much because of their bright colours the same reason the more golden she become the more I dislike it but if the people that mained her like it im grand with it. I should probably have known that angel fact but it seems I know more of greek mythology than the religion of my country.

[sg-kiko] How did I not notice this when I made my early post, its perfection.

What the fuck is that hair?

What the actual fuck?

How does that hair style even make sense under THAT helmet?

Why’d she go from a Samus Aran look to Drug addict?

Marshbouy12 votes

I'm honestly not instantly opposed to it. It's unsettling, creepy even. It really sets her apart from other champions in the game. Angels are also known to be weird and disturbing.

Also, this might be a screen cap from mid animation, which can distort champions greatly (E.G. DARIUS ARMS).

Stars Shaper3 votes

Seraphims were winged head-balls, so yeah quite disturbing...

https://hagiasophiaturkey.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Seraphim-Mosaic-in-Hagia-Sophia-Featured-810x333.jpg

The screen cap is taken from her standing stil after the transoformanion though so nothing should be either stretched or compressed.

I don’t understand how they can get Morgana so right and get Kayle so wrong.

Karfuss8 votes

Kayle is missing that professional touch up, while Morgana has ass-wings and looks more dark angel, Xayah looking rather than her current tattered wings/fallen angel aesthetic.

But who cares? At least they didn't rework Morgana, and she isn't a walking tent.

Did they change any of her gameplay? I know two of her abilities are the same but don't know about the others.

Her Q, E and R are the exact same. These are visible in the teaser trailer with their new VFX. I'd make a sure bet on Morg's current passive not surviving the update, I'd be very surprised if it did (innate sustain in a passive is extremely dated now, unless you're Nasus). Her W is the big question.

As it stands... That ability isn't bad nor unhealthy, although Riot MAY change it to something that interacts with the rest of her kit or a new passive. I'm happy with either.

To me at least, Morg has always been a champion that has three completely separate basic abilities that are good in their own right, yet no real interaction between them (outside Q guaranteeing more damage from W, or increasing the likelihood of her R proccing the stun, but any CC from any source accomplishes that).

So I wouldn't consider more interaction or another mechanic to be a bad thing, but not changing it would mean she'd exist as she is now, which I'm also content with.

I think her Q Bind interacts with her E now based on the video

I personally would rather have her keep her helmet on, at least for her base skins and whatever other skins she does have with it. I just don't like the look of this as she evolves. Wings are fine but I want to see the helmet (and maybe keep adding armor instead of removing it).

Rune Ocarina5 votes

Huh, on closer inspection I like those thighs and the body suit. This snapshot changed me mind quickly about those :D

That neck though. Could also try to make the face prettier.

Stars Shaper1 votes

I have no issue with them too, I like the new design since it makes her also more "Targonian" and Demacian at the same time, I kinda like her new helm more than the one we have now too.

My only displeases are: the wings she gets early that are too small and too "puffy" imo, the neck (but it might be just a needed distortion as others said, and the face which is objectively bad.

I feel like Riot keeps less and less fidelity to the base visual concepts reworked champions had. Swain 's two most striking assets were his face mask and his bird transformation, who both got almost completely removed (even if nothing kept them from adding it post-complains). Aatrox 's whole silouette, posture and sword got changed a lot, which isn't that much of a deal, but the combination of all this created someone who wasn't visually pleasing for the same reasons (at least Rito added the placebo wings after that, but still). Irelia and Akali went surprisingly well, not gonna lie, but this change on kayle is waaaaaaaay too much.

The best thing they could do would be to keep her new effects and rerework entirely her body model except the wings. Everything just looks either weird or something that doesn't look like Kayle. But hey, its Riot, I highly doubt they're gonna do something about it so we are stuck with that goblin faced spandex wearing winged thingy with the haircut of Cloud Strife

TonyTonyMordecai3 votes

That may be because of model perspective (above angle stuff) and looking at it from a grounded perspective makes it look weird. But I do agree, the face could use some work

Valor Bot3 votes

Yeah, it needs a helmet.

Not sure why Kayle’s ascension should entail the loss of her helmet. Seems like such a random, arbitrary design decision to make her more sexy.

Helmets are typically associated with mooks, being helmless makes you an individual.

Arakadia5 votes

Kayle is about uniformity not individuality though.

Stars Shaper1 votes

Kayle is about Justice delivered, the idea that Order = comformism and the kill of individuality is an extremization born from how bad they handled the Garen vs Darius event.

Arakadia1 votes

This idea also applied to Kayle. This is more clearly seen when contrasted with Morgana's desire for freedom and individual expression.

idk if you and i are looking at the same picture but she is way uglier with that helmet off LMAO

Gotta say that neck game is strong af

In fairness, the neck is probably because we're meant to see them from up top view, similar to the Zoe's mouth thing.

I just want to know how BIG her shoulderpads are with Judgement Kayle. Can we purchase it hmm border for original ?

They're going to tell us once the full reveal comes up I guess.

Iota Theta1 votes

The neck at least might be an odd thing to get the appearance right at League’s usual camera, kind of like how Zoe’s mouth is abnormally large when zoomed in or at different angles so her expressions can be seen in game.

They made both of them cartoonishly curvy, and this Kayle has way more body tight armor than the previous one. Other than that, I feel bad for Wukong mains who got mediocre vfx updates while two champs got spanking new models and animations.

Wukong was released back in 2011, while Morgana and Kayle were released in 2009. So it makes sense they'd get major visual and gameplay updates before Wukong. So Wukong should be coming up soon.

VelvetCrotch1 votes

Well I agree with the hair imo long blond hair would have fitted mich better. But I like her angelic face which looks unemotional and heroic. The neck idk yet... the rest is dope

Stars Shaper1 votes

I'm fine with a stern and unemotional looking face, but she looks like she's been through anorexia.
