What is this? What is Riot actually doing to Kat? Her hair is short and she's totally out of her personality with that "love" theme... Can someone explain what is this obvious hate towards her? The Ahri pictures are like quality higher and are more personality based while this is just... random emot with... WHERE IS HER HAIR? Her waist is shown so small that her hair should be visable on the sides, but there's none?!?!?! AND WTF is this pink eye shadow?!?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHERE IS KATARINA USING PINK EYE SHADOW? Idk who made it, but good job on screwing the most awesome champion in the game with an ugly icon... 10/10

you may be overthinking artistic license on characters riot owns and knows better than you

just a hunch

you may also be taking this a bit too seriously, as all of these look goofy [katarina-love]

There is a thing called artstyle and different artist's interpretation/illustration.

For example:

All of these are the same character (Sakura from Naruto), just illustrated in different artstyles. There are other more drastic panel comparisons but let's keep things simple here as you should get the point.

There is no need for overreaction here.

Didn't want to do this but Katarina is a bad character in every aspect.

Gameplay, 0 resources, cdr on kills and assists, stupid damage lane wide 3 person deleting ulti, simply obnoxious, not fun to play as or against.

Lore wise, to much of a punk to pursue her desire for garen, worthless assassin that either had her dad walkout on the family or got kidnapped which she did nothing to prevent, has a half snake harlot of a sister, and good knows how many other issues.

Her default splash make look like a tweaker, she ain't even that high on the league hotness level, her most redeeming qualities are she has green eyes and the same voice as the blood elf rogue valeera sanguinar or whatever her name is.

Be happy she got a sticker emote here while better champs did not. Give the artist a break perhaps it was just a fun project. Bashing kat was sorta fun. :3c ~~fin~~

Most of the Demacian and Noxian stickers are drawn in a... questionable style.

You're getting a lot of flack, and as a former Kat main and proud owner of a Katarina statue, I wanted to throw some love your way (and not in the form of dumb cartoon hearts).

The sword doesn't look like one of her blades, she's never had short hair, and why on earth would she be wearing make-up? if anything, they should've made one of her grinning evilly while having her blades crossed in front of her face like an X with shadows darkening her eyes. That would be far more fitting to her character and could still be made to look cute and fun with an exaggerated art style. Change of style doesn't mean change of character. In fact, Sekai in the comments here, who used varying art styles to oppose your case, is helping it. That's Sakura in multiple styles, but she's still the same character. Always has the headband, always has sparkling eyes, always looks adventurous, etc. This Kat sticker is literally a different being. I could even excuse the eye-shadow, short hair, and incorrect blade, but the heart and GIANT FUCKING LIPS are against her personality, which is core to any character.
