Not that I hate it; in fact the in-game model and the splash art looks awesome. However, I do have to ask ... why Vi ? The theme doesn't exactly suit her, and even though skins don't have to make sense or match entirely ... I can at least see why Garen and Azir share the theme (loyalty to their country, being a ruler of a country, ect.) yet Vi's just an enforcer, the one who beats up criminals on the streets.

I think champions like Cassiopeia, MonkeyKing, Irelia, ect. would of suited the theme more. Just my 2 cents, not mad about the result and i'll likely purchase the cool skin anyhow because Vi's a cool champion in my book.

He would be perfect with a lunar revel skin

So..., anyone have any thoughts as to who she's based on? As well as Azir and Garen?

My guesses are: Vi - Guan Yinping (Daughter of Guan Yu) Garen - Guan Ping or Guan Xing (Sons of Guan Yu) Azir - Liu Bei or even Liu Shan

Seeing as Cassiopeia has had 1 skin already for Lunar Revel, and Wukong has had one, plus another skin celebrating Year of the Monkey. I don't see why they ever need a Warring Kingdoms skin.

Dude - play Dynasty Warriors and read the legend. She can definitely fit into the aesthetic and dynamic of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

well warring kingdom Azir is based of off zhuge liang from the 3 kingdoms, warring kingdom JarvanIV is lu bu, XinZhao is zhao yun, warring kingdom Tryndamere is guan yu, warring kingdom Nidalee i think is sun xiang shang (mostly because the spirit animal of wei, which is the group that sun xiang shang is in, is a tiger) not sure about Katarina Garen Vi but i'm pretty sure they represent something

Where is the ingame model? I must know!

I suck at Vi but I will use this skin to master her!

How does being an enforcer disqualify her from this skin?

Also Wukong already has Jade Dragon- definitely wouldn't have been eligible to fit in this line, thematics aside.
