A small edit to make Kayle's armour look more like actual armour and less like a bodysuit

My suggestion to make it look less like a bodysuit is to add a few lines that gives the impression of the material consisting of scales: https://flic.kr/p/24dL8dn

This looks better to me and would not be too much work. It might be more feasible than starting with a new armour design this late in the design process.

EDIT 1: Added a new picture with the in-game model: https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7908/46425616234_9ddcdc8e80_b.jpg

I tweaked the lines a bit more so there's more room for the purple. It looks cleaner to me at least.

EDIT 2: Added an alternate pattern in purple for a more subtle style: https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7906/46435652564_2f6f08db72_b.jpg (The photo is there, it is just flickr's preview that is bugged)

Its funny that adding more armor makes it look better. But riot really should go back to the drawing board with this one.

Please just roll it back to the old design altogether. The new one is laughable.

wont work, the subset of people who will call this a "dumpster fire" rework are the same time of people who complained that Swain doesn't transform into a bird or Aatrox got mad with his voice.

this happens every time a rework comes out, Riot picks what to focus on in a champ's identity and anything that gets left behind is a "betrayal of their character." i'll admit I've done some similar reactions to some thinks but in regards to reworks i've just gotten tired of it.

however this is a good edit, hope Riot thinks of something similar.

It is a bodysuit though? The only armor she's wearing is the white/gold. Her maroon suit isn't armor.
