Fiora's Clothing Colors

I was a huge fan of Fiora's old design. Her new one just looks... off. Especially the colors. She has her nice pink stripe in her hair, and then the majority of her clothing is a blue that doesn't really go well with the pink. While I love her upper armor, the rest of her clothing is so boring and bland compared to her old model. I'm still curious as to why she got an art update. She looked perfectly fine and elegant beforehand. Now she kind of looks boring. Not to mention the splash art change is kind of a downgrade... (Her old splash was one of the best in the game IMO)

I'm not usually one to complain about Riot's art design choices, in fact, I love almost everything the art team comes up with. But... Fiora's change just really isn't that great at all IMO. They should have just kept the same design as before with some visual tweaks, like they did with . Maybe if they tweaked her colors she would look better.

Does anyone else agree?

They oversimplified her but the worst offense is her face and haircut.

I dislike that they turned her 3 part shoulder cape/banner thing into an actual half cape. D:

They made her distinctly less cool. Yes, she looks more appropriate as a head of a major house in Demacia but they sacrificed a lot of "personal" style to do it. I'll get use to it but I'm still pretty disappointed.

I raged pretty hard when I saw the art.

The Explora does not approve.

I absolutely agree, this feels reeeally weak and boring. I'd say this is the weakest rework ever.

I hope they deepen the colours of her outfit a little bit. I understand they want to make her look a bit more like the other Demacians with the white and gold palette, but even compared to other Demacian's outfits Fiora's costume looks faded and out of line. The teal of her leggings clashes pretty heavily with the pink of her hair and cape, making her look a bit more like a court jester than a noble duelist.

I felt like the sharper, darker colours suited her so much more. If you look at Lucian's art (which is a very close approximation of his in-game look) he has a more black/white pattern, with splashes of rose - she should too! I did a very quick re-do in photoshop to illustrate what I mean.

The face in splash art is too ugly! The skirt is just plain and boring. Given that many female champs are pink or red in hair color, can you make her hair light bronze (like Dansh race) please?

As noble as a grand master duelist should be, and that's fine ... and she's fine; so fine... mmmhm.

curious if they're going to change her lore..

I think the top part of her armor looks really awesome,the rest looks kinda bland,but I think it actually fits the overall design rather good.
