Aurelian Sol's head?

Slaik··21 votes·2,326 views

Am I the only one that thinks his head is WAY to large for his body? I mean I was expecting this amazing BAD ASS dragon from space that would look like an evil dragon lord like in the cinematic. Well he does look like that in a way, but a evil dragon lord bobble head.

Why the giant head?

Actually, I think that skin looks goofy and awful too. Not really impressed by the april fools skins this year.

You're a disgrace.

For what? Not liking a skin? Sorry bro, I think they all look too cartoony and poor quality. Might change by release since it's PBE tho.

As for Draven... well... I prefer gladiator. Deal with it.

Poor quality? You fool, there's no quality at all! That is what makes it glorious. To insult this skin really is disgraceful though.

Are you implying that Draven wouldn't accept only the very best for his perfect face?

Unpaladin1 votes

Draven's face is already perfection. To make it bigger is to make himself more... himself than he already is!

I am so glad i'm not the only one that thought this champion was kinda ugly asf. He doesn't look remotely cool to me, and there's something about his face that seems really off.

For me , his face lacks the cunning that you see in the video. The model and splash just use a big head.

Yes, yes yes! SOmeone else has this issue! I actually think the problem is his limbs look too tiny and are too low in his body (the curvature where the ribs would be starts BEFORE the joint point of his arms). I mean, if you take a look at the amazing splash art, the propertions there seem really, REALLY right. I don't know why the decision was made to have such tiny limbs (specially the hands) with such a huge head. It really looks like a baby instead of a full grown, fearing ancient being.

Surprisingly, though, the Ashen Lord skin doesn't seem to be so outrageous. I'm not sure as to what's going on... It's really a shame because when I saw the reveal and the splash art I was like "They did it!" and then when I saw the in-game model in pics and on the PBE myself I was like "I want to really like this guy, but my OCD just won't let me"

crosses fingers so Riot notices the thread and does some work

EDIT: Splash art for reference:

It looks a lot better in motion.

The fact that it has to be in motion for it to look better is a downside to me :/

The impression I get is that the space/celestial dragon wasn't able to easily manifest itself physically, so Sol ends up with this dilapidated form (where it looks like the bottom half is still trying to materialize).

i see what you did here

While that is true, I think it'd look much better if they fixed the proportions a bit.

I guess this was necessary for his model.

His serpentine body would make him rather big really fast and considering that he seems to be a mage,it would really suck for him if he was too big,since that would make him a big target.

Can't wait to use him in the ascension game mode because that would be badass for him to get the ascension buff

Because if they made his body as long as it would need to be, he would be absolutely massive and never dodge a skillshot aimed within 45 degrees of him ever, or because LoL has an instant turning radius he would look like he was glitching 24/7 And if the head were made smaller to match the form, he would still look like he was glitching but he would also look like a little plastic toy on the rift.

I thought that they were going to introduce a turning speed for him to make the model work but I guess they cheated him out with a bobble head :P

His animations seems a bit borked already though. He doesn't really feel right, even some of the textures in some motions behave weird. If you play him on the PBE you'll know what I'm trying to say.
