Question: Why are some people in Runeterra disproportionately larger than others?

I mean, I know its probably for artistic sense to display their character, but it seems more of a curse than a blessing with real applications.

Can Garen even eat? Does he need special aid to perform more delicate tasks?

You can REALLY see it with the new Urgot. The poor man giving him a tattoo needs a LIFT to get UP THERE.

it could be more easily explained for URGOT the chemtech juggernaut to have that immense size, but Garen's a normal dude.

Is there just a bad plague of gigantism going around?

(P.S. i don't actually mind the height change, it's obvious it has a purpose, just poking to make sure)

I feel like humans in Runeterra can just get that big.

Garen I can't really explain but I assume it's got something to do with mordekaiser

The immortal bastion is the capital of noxus but it used to be the heart of mordekaisers empire, morde was a human conqueror and you could assume he took many wives throughout the empire and probably sired children,

Urgot and sion are gigantic brutes (augments and necromancy aside) I theorize that they are both distant distant descendants of mordekaisers mighty lineage

That's just my personal fan theory tho, mordes bloodline is the embodiment of noxian ideals

Garen really not as big as he seems. It's all just the armor really.

You an see in the background of PPF's splash.

He's buff for sure, but not as much as he first seems.

I mean Urgot looks like he was huge before getting augmented. I though Camille's thighs were thick, but they're nothing compared to Urgot's arm.

I feel like it has some thing to do with the naturally intense magic going around Runeterra. Probably some people are more "conductive" to it, but aren't really capable of using it for spells and stuff, so it just manifests physically in terms of size and stuff. Remember, Runeterra is a super magical wonderland with hobos controlling animal spirits Udyr , super advanced magical sci-fi SPORE people Pantheon Diana Leona Taric , and shapeshifting once-bad but now sorta not bad guys.

There's also the flip side, that some of the people in these art are simply just small people.

If I were giving Shaq a tattoo it'd probably look pretty similar.

Urgot is, imo, one of the best Reworks. Garen is, imo, one of the worst. (if u compare to the other older and new reworks he is the only one who really look out of place cause of the shape of an plastic/ action figure soldier - his proportions look just weird)
