Akali's ingame model looks way to skinny vs her toned athletic physique in her Splash, please adjust

Personally, i think it might be a shader problem on the model, perhaps some shadows and/or some tan here and there might help better reflect her muscles. It bothers me that this athletic assassin, who both in her splash and pre-rework state has a well toned sexy body, yet her in game model in action and from a glance (but especially in action ) looks like Jinx in terms of skinniness (tattoo doesn't help either). Just wondering if Riot could make some slight tweaks to her Skin tone/Shadows to bring her more up to par with her amazing Splash art.

Side Note: Im also furious about the lack of boobs. Like, shes as flat as jinx as well. The side boob is gone because she HAS NO BOOBS to begin with. I also wont get into the lack of her ingame model's Ass since i understand sexyness isnt an all time factor despite the monstrously large hips she has in her splash but watever

She needs more muscles, I agree.

I think it’s perfect. I think it balances (no pun intended) it all perfectly

I feel like her athletic physique is meant to be lean, so you don't need to add thick muscles onto her frame. Doing so will read more "strength" as opposed to dexterous agility. Like, don't get me wrong. Akali can win arm wrestling contests, but she trains for agile and acrobatic maneuvers not to bust down doors and body slam people.

I don't really see the difference. I'm not saying "don't worry about it" I'm saying when I look between the two I don't really see a difference in "skinny vs her toned athletic physique". The splash has more detail than the in game model, but that's nothing out of the ordinary. In game models usually are low on detail to help with performance.

Akali has always had a lithe figure

More muscles means more polygons, and League is intended to be a low-spec game.
