Personally I like the pigtails.

..also they're currently on the art we've made for her so far so.. I don't think they're going anywhere :P

Is she going to be shoe less like Tris >.>

That design is really lame imo.

I think that's a good fit for a "light" character class like Tristana. It also makes her feel more "rural"/"natural" in the same way hobbits don't have shoes. That being said there's no reason to think that *all *yordles will have that, a tankier one like Poppy will probably have boots. Literally all other yordles have shoes why would you think Poppy won't just because Tristana doesn't?

Because my assumption was that Yordles wore shoes because they were intelligent creatures. Gnar gets away with it because he's prehistoric. The Tristana update pretty much confirms that they aren't against making every Yordle look animalistic.

Uhm. Sandals=/=unintelligent. Either way Heimerdinger and Ziggs were both given boots. Yordles are varied, inflating a dislike of Tristana's feetwear to a statement about the future of all yordles is exceedingly hyperbolic.

lol I just said I don't like how it looks animalistic and you get defensive and start putting words in my mouth.

I don't think I misrepresented what you wrote, I couldn't know if you *meant *something else.

I think you misunderstand "animalistic" to mean primitive rather than anthropomorphic. They are just moving away from smurfs and gnomes in favour of fuzzy creature-anatomy, like TeemoRumbleZiggsHeimerdinger.

Good points here. As a mobile gunner, you gotta be, well, mobile. Sure you can have leather boots, but hey, even I like to go for a run outside without shoes/boots sometimes and feel the dirt on my feet. Don't know if that's relevant, just trying to say everyone's different. Again, you made great points, just trying to back you up ^_^

Solideus3 votes

Thanks, haha. Yeah, in summary, boots look heavier, her new design makes her look nimber. It's just an aesthetic thing! :)

Of she wasn't rocket jumping it might feel a little better. Handling explosives with open toed shoes just feels wrong on so many levels.

That is a very good point

I can see where the misunderstanding is coming from,

Additionally, male yordles will most likely be more stylized in a sense, though the whole race is a canvas for the wacky. Chances you'll see Poppy follow much more in the shoes (or lack thereof) of Tristana, as will subsequent Yordle designs. I would also even bring the philosophy back to champions like Lulu in terms of females. She might be smaller but she should still have a unification pass.

Just a misunderstanding of what Ironstylus said probably. Also though all other yordles besides trist and heimer are outdated, its hard to have any sort of solid expectations on what Riot's direction with them is.

Haha, I see! I'm sure that's not exactly what he meant, though. :)

Poopy's booties are probably safe.

as long as you have a VO that makes a joke/comment with both peace and death then I'm cool with w/e you do.

Solideus2 votes

Would you say her design is pretty much pinned down, then? Just curious about where you're at!

Just as long they're keeping the pigtails...

You know, that's what makes her quite iconic.

That's true. They're on all her helmets.

I think she could use a different shade in terms of hair colour. I mean her hair is white just like tristanas and I think having one blue yordle girl with white hair is enough,we don't need 2.

Maybe they could change it to some light shade of blond or something like that?

Dustogrei1 votes

Agreed, it should be a different color from Tristana's.

Burn Hazard3 votes

Why are you asking to have one of her most recognizable features removed from the game dude?

Dustogrei2 votes

Personally I would like to see her wear a helmet all the time; it can be designed so her face and ears are still visible, like in Scarlet Hammer poppy. To me her redesign should look similar to that. I've always loved how the Yordles are so diverse, one's a wizard, another's an inventor, another rides a plane, another a robot etc. So I like the idea of one who is always wearing a helmet.

Yeah but Kayle always wears a helmet and she's boring. I want to see her facial expressions when she goes into battle. I don't want her to be another unknown behind a mask. We have plenty of those with Kayle, Pant, and Nautilus.

Oh for sure not completely covered, indeed she shouldn't be a Kayle Yordle version. She could have a helmet like the one in Battle Regalia or Scarlet Hammer skin that still leaves her face/hair visible.

Yeah, I don't know. I like having some skins of hers not have helmets though. Take a look at this blue tree background.

I don't know if they could make it look as cool if Poppy was wearing a helmet. She's just less valiant with a helmet on. You can just really see she's going for it all the way.

For her skin I could see them using more teal-ish hues to differentiate her. I'm curious about her hair and what they will do to make that distinct from Tristana's. I guess they could just make them related or something to rationalize the similarities, though.

The MechE1 votes

I don't know how I feel about this. I'd be okay with it personally as long as they don't make it look stupid, but only if they can think of something better.

I mean what's wrong with her pigtails?

Dustogrei1 votes

We'll see how it turns out, but if they give her long ears like they did Trist, the pigtails might clash with the ears. Like the pigtails would have to be going backwards, otherwise if they stayed towards the sides then with her ears it'd be like an X. Or something. :P

I like the pigtails.

On a personal note, I have been known to hum the jaws theme as I move in to kill someone.
