Why "Super Galaxy" Kindred? Why not "Justicar"?

Here's Kindred https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1Of9RNGKTyY/Vyjq7GFk-PI/AAAAAAAA6ac/2zLJirpVmCId4fHfq8gU_FfQGpsCKhK_wCLcB/s640/Kindred_Splash_2.jpg

Here's Aatrox http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/6/6a/Aatrox_JusticarSkin.jpg

Contrast those two to Rumble (or any of the Gurren Lagann designs, from which Super Galaxy got its origin) http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/8/88/Rumble_SuperGalaxySkin.jpg

Seems to me like this Kindred skin should be a Justicar skin, not Super Galaxy.

It may be the lighting in the splash/pose, but she doesn't much resemble Justicar in game, especially with her particles.

The color scheme might look similar to Justicar Aatrox', but the shape-language is much more Super Galaxy. It also seems like it's a very flashy skin, particles-wise.

Because Wolf is based on the Gunmen from Gurren Lagann.

Now... can someone explain me why Shyvana is called "Super Galaxy", even if she seems more like a Power Ranger than something from Gurren Lagann?

Because Justicar isn't space-ish-y themed

I don't see any overt similarities to the Justiciar line.

Why would it be a justicar skin? Justicar uses a lot of gold(and blue in aatroxs case),but SG kindred is mostly orange. Aside from that there aren't many similarities especially since SG kindred is clearly a sci-fi skin,while the justicar line is more phantasy-based.

Another thread that I tend to agree with said it looks more in line with Neon Strike Vi.

No. Just no.

Justicar Aatrox isn't a robot.

Rumble's is Gurren Lagann, but Kindred's is Evangelion. They can't draw the inspiration from the same source every single time.

Fizz is definitely Super Galaxy worthy. But why not call the other two Neon Strike and put them with Vi?

Starforce Kindred.

So glad everyone noticed it's basically Neon Strike.
