I was looking at Leblanc and Karma, two champions I love thematically and was wondering what this weird parallel was? What the hell are these?
Like seriously what is this weird make-up/tear drop thing that Karma and Leblanc have and why do they both have it specifically? Is it a lore thing? I mean they ARE both leaders in their countries I suppose.
Was it just a random design choice? I'm legitimately confused.
OverpoweredSoap7 votesI'm most likely grasping at straws, but the makeup may have something to do with the fact they're both able to "see" things a lot differently than other people.
LeBlanc is a trickster, who deceives others and manipulates them to get what she wants (as far as we know anyways, she's still a little bit of a mystery lore wise). She sees and knows more than what other people see.
Karma is Enlightened, she "sees" two paths and makes another in between, she sees not only two paths but many branching ones.
Of course this is all speculation but ya'know.
Sexy Jack Rabbit1 votesSpeculation is fun dw. I think that's a pretty interesting idea :)
UomoAfide1 votesNice thinking, that would be an interesting theory as well
UomoAfide2 votesA simple design choice, most likely it doesn't have any particular meaning. It might be nice though if Riot could come out with some fun theory about it.
Sexy Jack Rabbit3 votesTHEY'RE LONG LOST SISTERS insert other insane theories
Seems fair enough. Still seems really random to me though.
UomoAfide5 votesPersonal idea, Ionian symbol of command and/or for political figures which may be havily related to magic users and/or magic based sects. The Leblanc (let's not forget it's just a title, the current one being Evaine... at least according to what might be straight out outdated lore) as Head of the Black Rose dwells in all kind of sorcery and it's not weird to think it might have some insights on ionian arts.
TitusBlackwell1 votesMaybe the body she most recently stole happens to be from the same part of Ionia as Karma, and they're just a local cultural thing :P

Duchess Katarina1 votesPerhaps a reference to the Eye of Horus?
UomoAfide1 votesYou mean the Egyptian eyeliner that pharaos used to "wear"? That could also be an idea, we still don't know how religious beliefs works in Ionia, they may be similar to the more philosophical view of religion in our world's asian culture.
Duchess Katarina1 voteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Horus I mean it says on the Wikipedia that it was a symbol of protection, royal power and good health but that is Wikipedia and I'm not too familiar in Egyptian history. Or the Eye of Ra.
