...drunk or sick?

Basically first thing that came to my mind when I saw the post on S@20 was: "Why is her nose so red?"

Just a minor thing, but it bugs me like pre-nerfed Kha'Zix.

Plus, I can't see what was the problem with her hair being red. Revert please!

I REALLY preffered her former splash. She doesn't look at all the same and well...isn't cute.

The new one has the same pointy chin syndrome that the other new terrible splash arts suffer from. The same awkward facial features that everyone has complained about every new splash art.

That's called the style of the artist. Unfortunately, it looks like the majority of the community doesn't like it...

I'm going to be blunt in this splash she gives off the complete bitch look and in her old splash she atleast looked noble and deadly. I preferred the old one as does alot of people.

I'm not sure, the male champions look OK I think... Does this artist have problems just with females?

I highly doubt she cares about being cute she's trying to be the most powerful duelist in runeterra.

Dude. there is too great a reason why they aren't much gragas players even though he was op.

Because he got screwed over and released riddled with bugs for quite a while because he was rushed to coincide with the release of Pantheon?

Also not to mention he is a fat man in his 50's half naked with one of the poorest loremaking in the whole game that it was reworked...into something quite similar

i personally like her character this way; her character was never about being cute, she is a professional duelist. she's gotta look cunning, ambitious, and intimidating riot has shifted their foxus from sex appeal to actual character building. with personality (which isnt to say the old splash lacked personality, it's focus was simply different).

but its totally cool to like one splash over another. just make sure you give new fiora a good chanc---

OH GOD EVEryOne IS GeTTINg DOWNVOTED

I never saw the community in synch this strong lol Only if they managed to group this good around in their ranked games I would....oops.

You should see how in sync the community is when there's a Kalista, Riven, or Leblanc thread.

Remember Trundle's sync. That was madness. The forum community loves to hate.

Don't take cute to mean "pretty pink Princess Peach" but take it as "visually appealing", that there is things to like about it, which could be conveyed with cute or nice looking or whatever.

Because that's the reaction to this, that it is "visually unappealing". The splash's face is not done in a style that matches the aesthetic of League's other splashes, the previous splash nor does it look like what we have come to understand what Fiora looks like through all of her skins. All of her other other skins matched the shape and features of the splash, so that Fiora looks like Fiora. This one doesn't match any of them.

She honestly look more french now imo.

The facial features look better for that feeling.

Her nose is a little bit red, but they can always tone that down a bit if it's too strong.

Vistha Kai3 votes

Are you judging "frenchness" based on hair? Imo they should keep it red. I can't see what's the problem with it.

Still, that nose really is discolored as if she had a runny nose.

I meant her nose was a little red, my bad, I was typing a little too fast. lol

I noticed this too, it is not my favorite :/

I like it, I just wished they had kept the split cape, it just added to her elegance.

Xonra5 votes

Honestly her face looks like it was pulled from a stereotypical evil female from a Disney movie.

The evil stare, the elongated chin, I just really can't get behind this and take it seriously.

Sad because her kit is pretty good overall, but the splash art cooooooould have been better.

You people seriously. Does this look bad to you now? http://i.imgur.com/M6IYQVB.jpg

She look like a stuck up frustrated sexually unsatisfied and unempressed bored bitch instead of an extremely talented arrogant bitch

Vistha Kai1 votes

An extremely talented arrogant bitch.

We already have one Syndra.

Plus, unless they'll scratch Fiora's lore, she isn't arrogant.

Simonizer861 votes

You're right my bad it's because i'm so arrogant when i play her that with times i tought it was part of her personnality lol...But still, her new face just aren't nice

The old one was so much better, I really hope they clean this up (aka try again on the face and hair) Fiora

"Why is her nose so red?"

It's popular for artists who frequent tumblr; It's popular there.

"Why? " I have absolutely no damn idea.

A Superb Villain3 votes

It is extremely stylized, even more so than most recent splashes.

BUT THAT UNIFORM!

Vistha Kai5 votes

Dat Ass™ not visible enough.

A Superb Villain3 votes

It certainly is a shame, but the complete package more than makes up for it. I am a little biased.

Actually, I'm really biased.

Vistha Kai1 votes

I'm slightly hyped, but that will last only until I will learn if she keeps her current VO.

Cuz screw french accent.

A Superb Villain2 votes

I highly doubt they will record new lines for her. Then again, everything but her voice could be heard in the preview, so it may be possible.

Vistha Kai2 votes

Well, she's getting same level of VU/GU as GP does.

I can't really see a reason for them to not record at least a handful of new lines, because if not now then when?

A Superb Villain2 votes

I am not sure. Maybe when Viktor gets his?

i don't mind her cheek bones, but that hair HAVE to go!

Mogarl2 votes

The greatest losses in the new splash are her hair and the stained glass in the background, her hair being the primary thing that needs to be changed. As for her face I see why you think it's a little too red, looking at it it looks like maybe she started with a very pale face and then had colour added so she looked like she was a bit more active, I think toning it down to a lighter shade would help with that.

Looking at the background I don't think the stained glass can be redone without changing the whole atmosphere, but I think making the banners a bit nicer could raise the quality of the splash, the fuzziness of the banners kind of clashes with Fiora herself being very defined.
