A French white lady getting this skin makes no sense, the skin line is based on Chinese or Japanese folktales and asian warriors. Over that Fiora with that French European accent looks so ridiculous in this skin.
IMO, Shen would have made more sense than Fiora for this skin line.
Ebonmaw Dragon8 votesCongratulations, there are no "French" champions in the game.
Weiner the Pooh4 votesGet out of here with your SJW bullshit. You're gonna complain about this skin when the warring kingdoms skin are a thing? Those are so clearly Chinese as well and there's no problem with them. And it's a fucking videogame, so seriously, there's no room for that. And Fiora makes sense for it. Shes a fast, agile, and graceful fighter which fits the theme and the legends that the skin is based off of. Compare that to Shen who is not agile, not quick, and graceful. He is a slow tank with one dash, it wouldn't work. Fiora being the fast character who cuts people down quickly fits much better.

Beyond Legends1 votesWhat ignorant thing to say. There are plenty of sword technique in China that focus of thrusting and slashing. Most jian user in china are of the ine handed variant, you clearly don't know what you are talking about.

Yeah and a Viking bashing people with a ginormous sword is. Shut the fuck up. It's a fucking video game, the characters are made up, in fact the theme is simply inspired by stories, not taking a specific character and turning them into that.
Limrick2 votesOh yeah, magic sword Ionian skin for the magic sword Ionian champion, how original that would be.
SEKAI2 votesThis is kinda the same reason why say Yasuo and Jhin both got High Noon skin despite not being "western" champions. How many champs got Blood Moon despite them not being "eastern". Or how say why Poppy has a Noxus skin.
It's not like Riot doesn't know which champ is a stereotype of which real world or fictional region, they know that, they just switch things around to get some spices rolling.
Like, skins by its premise, do not have to adhere to the champs base design. That's kinda what skins are for, to experiment different iteration of the champion's aesthetic appearance in different themes.
Digielf1 votesYou can't identify LoL champions with earthen countries because its a different universe. Fiora has nothing to do with France.
