I'm gonna be frank and say I dislike her haircut. I think its pretty random and doesn't match her. In all of her other skins and splashes, she doesn't have the sides of her head shaved.

Unless.... she always had a mohawk!, I cannot unsee her normal skin's hair without thinking about this now.

(For those of you who don't know, his hair doesn't grow on the sides.)

Of course, other people's opinions may differ, what does the community think?

I don't believe it's supposed to be a mohawk but the (recently popular?) undercut hairstyle? If you search for that, you'll see quite a few hairstyles very similar to what Pool Party Fiora is sporting.

(Please note, I'm not connected to the skins team, nor do I have a strong preference for her hairstyle - just helping clarify what I believe they were aiming for with her new poolside hairdo.)

Thanks for the reply!

I didn't know that was what it was called.

Well, I for once love those kinds of hairdos. Buuuut I dislike Fiora.

I'm conflicted.

Just take her head off and leave the rest :D

And I like Morde, but I have no idea how anyone can like undercuts. I'm also conflicted.

I'm a sucker for cute girls with undercuts.

Yeah, they're so ugly.

.... wait, how can you be sarcastic? That's shiver-inducingly ugly, along with their facial expressions (the first one in particular)

XIII VanitasJun 28, 20162 votes

If you think that Natalie Dormer is ugly, you're the minority.

Photos of GhostsJun 28, 20164 votes

I've always been the minority because I was right. Aaaaand look at her expression. That's ridiculous. If my kid looked at me that way I'd sell them as a slave or something.

It was sarcasm. You can't sit with us. You don't belong in the upper echelons of memecraft because you're way too opinionated and edgy.

Thats not an undercut..

XIII VanitasJun 28, 20163 votes

It appears under "undercut" on google search. I'm not an expert about undercuts.

Photos of GhostsJun 28, 20162 votes

Yes, and that undercut is horrendous. It makes my guts shiver.

Hey, a little offtopic but I'm just wondering what a Level Designer does in League? I wasnt aware that we had different levels? I can imagine a level designer's job in like mario or some game with different levels, but I'm not sure how that makes sense in this game.

Can you talk a lil about what sort of stuff you do?

Thanks

The 'trick' is, that I'm not on the League team. I work on other things instead, where a level designer's skillset might be more applicable. Nothing I can talk about yet, unfortunately!

Riot has a level designer that doesn't work on league of legends? I mean riot has people that work on something other then league?!

Congratulations! Riot Game has evolved into Riot Games!

I'd like to come work on unannounced projects at Rito. I have some great ideas for a League RTS (Armies of Runterra) and some arcade games.

Any tips on how I can get hired at RnD? Sounds like a blast.

R&D is one of the hardest parts of Riot to get hired into - you generally need to be a subject matter expert on the genre or type of project that is being worked on, and at senior level experience (so that you can help hire a team of more junior folks when you get out of the small scrappy team phase).

It can be heartbreaking (because so many experiments are thrown away - and you put your heart and soul into every one), but amazing.

So best advice is - go out, make games, get noticed! :D

I'm not particularly fond of it either. I feel like way too much is going on with her hair. I feel it transitions poorly? I really wish the skin had more of her default hair due.

Beyond that my other issue falls with the palette of the skin, I feel the color choices could be a little bit better. Either go all the way blue or go all the way purple. Going both feels weird. But it's minor.

VanjieJun 28, 20165 votes

I have to agree with everyone. The hair choice is a little meh.

OleandervineJun 28, 20165 votes

I think her hair is adorable, trendy, very light for summer, and exactly what a noble socialite would wear if she was going on vacation. I love the hairstyle, it's such a deviance from her normal hair, so it's nice to have some change.

I Came For YouJun 28, 20161 votes

Thanks for your constructive comment, it helped me think about the topic from a different perspective. I can kind of see what you're saying. And I agree, change can be good sometimes.

I don't follow what modern nobles/aristocrats/celebrities/upper-class/rich do so I can't say I'm experienced in their current trends. I also can't say anything objectively since this topic is largely subjective.

So what I'm about to say is pretty biased. When I think undercut, I think of Miley Cyrus or Draven , people who try to be (a lack of a better word) 'edgy'. When I think of nobility, I think of those old fancy European parties where the women wore a lot of powder and had big dresses. I don't think Fiora would get that 'edgy' haircut as it would risk hurting her noble family public image. She seems too elegant and self-restrained to do that as well. Fact is, the haircut breaks away from the 'normal' or traditional haircuts today, so its return was intended to make a statement or to 'stand-out'. Of course, maybe Fiora decided it was time for change.

Admittedly though, after looking at some of the images of undercuts from that Bioluminescence linked, it does look really cute on some women...

I don't like or dislike it, but I can see where you're coming from.

GenoXxJun 28, 20163 votes

Doesn't mean they are going to change it just because u said u dont like it.

SukishooJun 28, 20162 votes

Only if a LARGE amount of the community hated it like they did with her VU hair style, they'd change it. I see nothing wrong with this myself.

Exactly. In the thread I only voiced my opinion and thoughts about it and asked the community for their opinion on the hair. I never said anything about changing it. Only if there was a large percentage of the community who disliked it, would I consider making a thread about changing it.

PapaGreg21Jun 28, 20163 votes

I agree it looks pretty bad. The giant leg tattoo isn't exactly the best decision either.

Sexy Jack RabbitJun 28, 20163 votes

Honestly I don't see the biggie. I think it's really fashionable and quite cute. It's modern, it's Chic. Beyond plain personal preference I think it's a medium choice, but I don't see a point in changing it. The main reason I've seen people disliking it is because of 'SJWs' and 'Lesbian haircut' etc.

I Came For YouJun 28, 20161 votes

I didn't read anything about 'SJWs' and 'Lesbian haircuts', just some people who needed to pick their words better. Maybe I'm not good at reading in-between the lines. Anyways, thanks for your opinion.

To clarify, I don't have a problem with the haircut itself, I just don't think it fits Fiora. She comes off to me as being elegant and refined and doesn't need to make a statement with her hair. Again, maybe I'm just bad at reading in-between the lines. Maybe for summer she wanted to try something edgy. Maybe I'm too old and I don't know what is fashionable these days.

How can you not have a problem with the cut itself? Does it not make you want to kill yourself when you see one in the street? It does for me.

I Came For YouJun 28, 20162 votes

We're all entitled to our own opinions and my opinion is the cut itself is fine. In the original post, I stated that I thought it was random, as it did come out unexpectedly of her. Simply put, I don't think it matches Fiora.

I respect your opinion but my response is no to your question. I'd wish you'd pick better words to express your thoughts though.

If you do have a huge issue with it, you should ask a bigger community such as reddit for their opinion or you can start your own thread.
