Colour change proposal for Fiora
Hi everyone,
I'm super excited about the Fiora rework; they've really paid attention to the criticism players had about her not representing the gameplay pattern of a Grand Duelist (mobility, riposte reinvention) and as someone who has mastered Fiora in ranked play I can't wait to try her out. I do believe however that visually, the reworked Fiora's textures looks a bit too flamboyant - her suit is a mismatch of gold, teal, and rose - and it all clashes far too much.
I did a very quick re-do in photoshop to illustrate what I mean.
Demacia is defined by a white-gold-blue/black palette, which you can see on most of the factions' champions. Lucian, J4, Lux, Garen all share similar colours. Compared to other Demacian's outfits Fiora's costume stands out, making her look a bit more like a court jester than a noble duelist.
I felt like the sharper colours found in her old outfit 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 gold and rose - she should too!
Edit: Maybe I'm crazy, but isn't her splashart also featuring black as the colour of her leggings? Why is the in-game model so different?
UPDATE: We are being listened to guys. You can view the reddit thread here. Don't forget to show us some love too, Riot! We'd love for Fiora to be as glorious as possible for her release :)
UPDATE #2: Since there's some confusion over how this would look in game, I did another quick paint job on her in the rift to show how it would look. You can definitely see that she sports the teal colours in game as well, and how dark/grey would suit her.
