When is the "yordleization" of Corki going to happen?

Macilento··21 votes·2,044 views

I belive he is the last Yordle that need a big visual upgrade to fit his theme of being a yordle and not a little human like we see in game.

But no one said nothing about him,,,, soooo any news? I know it would be a little bit of a waste of time since it's not like he has a bad model or anything, but if he is a damn yordle, make him look like one. Otherwise change the lore and keep him the little fella he is

Last one?

All of them apart from Tristana and Poppy are in need.

If I had to pick, I'd say do Veigar next. He's basically just a black dot with a hat.

all the others at least have the fur an ears, Corki looks like a gnome.

Corki definitely isn't the last yordle in need of an update by any means. He's simply the one that doesn't appear like a yordle at all as he still looks like a generic old man in a plane.

As far as updates go, Veigar definitely needs a model update along with Teemo , Kennen , Rumble , and Lulu .

Ziggs too would probably need one as well by the time they update the former yordles as well - though all will come in good time.

what i meant, is that at least Kennen is furry like the others. Corki is a little human, he has literally nothing similar to a yordle

Wait....Corki is a Yordle?...

I'm actually really curious about this as well.

Now that Poppy has been given a great redesign, Corki is really the one "yordle" that really doesn't resemble a yordle at all. He still appears very human-like and it's hard to really compare him to the other yordles due to his very different design.

While he does need some number tweaking, his kit otherwise is pretty fine and iconic. It's just a matter of him getting a slight visual update in regards to his appearance as a yordle really.

He has the same old model from 2009, doesn't he? He's only gotten texture updates since his release, I think. Could really use a full upgrade if you ask me.

Likewise Kennen and Veigar, though Veigar is with Corki on the whole 'doesn't look like a yordle' problem. These three need a vu badly.

Also includes Amumu, if he'll finally, and permanently, be judged a yordle (or not).

Just wait, it turns out corki is a mermaid [zombie-brand-mindblown]

The problem is that riot currently does VUs alongside gameplay updates and I think corki isn't really in need of one right now,so he'll have to wait a bit.

Fuck yordles jeez i'm sick of seeing people talk about these little bastards as if they're worth anything

Who likes yordles? Nobody they are a sub species Noxians are superior in every way they're better than the idiotic demacians and the weak yordle midgets

I never knew you could be a supremacist of a fictional race

KrugLyfe1 votes

Damn right I am fuck those yordles Noxians are the greatest yordles should serve them! The stupid midgets spewing little poison darts at us do you think that hurts? Every yordle in the game except corki can't do shit against a mighty noxian such as sion

Your trolling sure seems on point. I'd give it an A-, give or take.

KrugLyfe1 votes

So suddenly hating yordles is trolling? Noxus is the best and they always will be all there is to it.

I still wonder from where this "Veigar is a cat" idea came from

even some fan art portrays him as a cat

GreenLore2 votes

Most likely because yordles do look a bit cat-like and since veigars face is shrouded in darkness,it makes sense to depict his head as a black furred yordle,which looks similar to a black cat,which get associated with dark magic quite often.

Thus some people simply depict him as a black cat.

Marbelara2 votes

My favourite art of him like that has to be this one:

http://orig10.deviantart.net/c802/f/2014/096/3/0/veigar_buying_by_racoonwolf-d7da9sb.jpg

It looks so natural.

Some like to nitpick that he had a cat nose in the old chinese splash, and that in his current splash, the shadow outline of his face via glowy eyes is ragged, suggesting fur. His FB skin also has a muzzle protrusion.

It's certainly more believable to imagine a black-furred cat face in a shroud than a completely human, blue smurf face (srsly where did that come from? to make him seem bishounen?)

Also, points for the black-cat = witchcraft association. This is exactly what happens.

He doesnt have a tail, or at least i think so... however, the "Idea" of "Veigar looks like a black cat" came from his original splash art where you can see his catlike nose, the Leprechaun splash art where you can see his catlike ears, the white mage splash art where you can see the contour of his face and the original model of Veigar... that actually shows his face or part of it.

So leprechaun does show ears after all! I was always unsure if it was a trick of light. 99% playerbase would easily miss or dismiss it.

We need Veigar with fuffly yordle ears ;__; IronStylus also wanted them.

Trolosaurus1 votes

Well when he was released, he wasn't a Yordle, he was a Dwarf Personally they should just go back to that

GreenLore1 votes

No he was always a yordle,his lore was never changed,not even in the beta...
