Wow that Hecarim description... any plans to make his visuals match it?

"His colossal form was a nightmarish hybrid of man and horse, a chimeric juggernaut of brazen iron. The plates of his body were dark and stamped with etchings whose meanings he only vaguely recalled. Bale-fire smouldered behind his visor, the spirit within cold and dead yet hatefully vital."

Hat's off, that's... incredibly evocative when compared to the in game visuals or splash.

Any chance next time we're revisiting his skins we can get this unholy man/horse thing really expressed in the base skin? Based on this, the lower face of his chest should be less Oni-like and more equine, and it would be awesome if you could make out some of the lines of his former leg armor along the flanks.

Think about it! (Also if there's some concern that it won't fulfill the Centaur fantasy as well in that form, I think that could be easily addressed in his skins.)

#When I see Hecarim:

Visual effects mimicking Black Mist: You know what would be cool is if he's used either [E] or [R] from out of the Fog of War; he pulls the Fog of War behind him ('Fog of Black Mist' trail does not block visibility).

I found that description quite fitting to his present looks.

What in it you think doesn't align well?

I kept thinking of Blood Knight Hecarim to be honest.

My number one question about Hecarim is why the guy has 6 faces. His normal one, his chest-face, and one on each leg.

Whomever wrote it is a fucking boss. I think it is McNeil? Regardless, the guys Riot got from the Black Library (aka Warhammer 40K writers) are some of my favorites. Their descriptions and writing style are some of the best. I love them.
