Her gameplay design is something that's isn't quiet new, but it's refreshing enough for people to want to pick her up. However, I know I cannot be the only one that is bother by her nose bridge

http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/t_original/fkwzurmolwcjc81kt1bs.png I understand the thicker eyebrow with sharp but large eyes is the characteristic of Middle Eastern, which is the area that Shurima is based off of. What I don't understand is her straight tube nose bridge. I have look all over the internet, I have yet to found a race that have a nose that resemble hers. Every reference that I look, human nose is a slanted angle.

Taliyah have extremely small nostrils, it does not resemble a nose, which 2 nostrils suppose to pan out. Hers is narrow down to the point where it almost vertical if that make any sense. I do understand that people have different face, and somebody can look more special from the others and that's fine. In the case of Taliyah, nothing about her nose match up with each other. If the nose going to have a large bridge then the nostrils suppose to pan out, if the nostrils suppose to be narrow then bridge should be slanted and/or have smaller base toward the eye. Currently the nose look extremely award and desperately need some depth for it to look convincing as a face.

I can't believe you actually researched and compiled all of this bc u don't like the nose of a fictional girl character

The characters aren't drawn in hyperrealistic ways.

I mean by that logic you could argue that Sions whole body built is too unrealistic(I mean he isn't just tall and muscular,but he is also pretty broad with hands bigger than the heads of some other champs).

Also Taliyah is a shuriman and shurima is based of egypt. And Cleopatra VII was actually quite well known for her big nose(there is even the trope "Cleopatra nose" named after that),so Taliyahs nose might be a reference to that.

It's actually known as a 'Roman Nose' due to the fact that many Romans had such noses. However, anyone can have such a nose, and it is not unique to any particular race. Note that several other league champs have it as well: Swain Taric Singed Lucian Not as prominent, but still there.
