I find Kai'Sa VERY lackluster in all aspects

Uninspired design from all things aesthetically. Tbh idk how this whole champion made it through to me this looks like the template you should START around maybe but definitely not finish.

When i look at her i see all the other female champions in the game in her, different pieces of all different toys to form a ... generic female champion.. well actually more like a template of another champions skin to be more precise. Harsh words are needed in dire situations.. this is a dire one indeed. I am no one but just a ranked player so my aesthetic judgement shouldn't raise no eyebrows but shit i felt so baffled at how uninspiring this new champion looks.

I have to come clean and be 1000000 with yall this champion does not look unique at ALL. The one thing this game got going for itself is how unique every champion individually looks, this is a step in the WRONG direction for the game period please do use skins as a template because that is for damn sure what the aestheticism is hinting at. If i worked for the art department team and i had leaded the team on this champion i would pulled this one back for sure.

Some pointers to help the artists and there imagination

  • We could use more non humanoid champions in the ADC role.
  • If your going void as a theme, go more monstrous, wild looking, alien looking.
  • Refrain from giving the impression of OTHER existing champions.

I agree with this totally. They could've made her some badass who survived from the void while being monstrous and attractive show her with the Void's corruption just in a lot better appearance then what they decided to go with keeping the helmet as a permanent thing and not on and off would be a lot better too even. But if they didn't like that they still could've made her corrupt like her father Kassadin with pale blue skin full purple eyes like all the things from the Void and even giving her a third one on her head like Malz or his voidlings. Battle damage to the suit and scars to herself to show she was actually going through hell in the Void rather then being some hot movie star playing a character in a alien movie. Make the suit talk to her would be a nice bonus too or even have it growl and what not. Overall though Kai'Sa is a terrible character (Don't care about her as a actual ingame champion so that's why I said character) who doesn't show the full trauma of what someone should look like while being trapped in hell and forced to live in there. We got Kassadin's daughter but instead of being something to rejoice for it's just disappointing and I will have to wait until the Aatrox rework or a new bad ass champion comes out to truly peek my intrest.
