Captain Fortune looks more like MF than Classic

See this? This is a pirate hunter. A badass lady that strikes fear in the hearts of even the most ruthless swashbucklers and isn't afraid of taking lives. That's my definition of Miss Fortune.

Her classic skin in comparison looks like a scantily-clad prostitute with a traffic cone perched ontop of her head.

I'm not necessarily appealing for a visual rework or anything considering she just got a TU (and I mainly use the Road Warior MF skin anyway), but it's quite a shame Riot decided to make this new look of Miss Fortune an optional skin for her when, in my opinion, it fulfills the champion's fantasy better than her classic skin does.

Upvote if you feel the same and maybe Rito-senpai will notice us.

UPDATE: In case you're familiar with the recent Gangplank changes, I hope you understand that they make my point even more believable. To recap the current thoughts: Miss Fortune does not look like the badass lady she is because the Classic Skin depicts her in a previous era, a time in which she was still gaining influence and power in Bilgewater and used her 'killer charme' to get things done. At this current point in lore, meaning right now, however, she is indeed Captain Fortune and ought to look the part. Gangplank, now, has recieved a base model update, changing his Classic Skin to depict him in the current time, after the events of Burning Tides.

Now I feel like Riot is just taking the piss. Gangplank's new look, post-Dead-Pool, is his base skin, but for Miss Fortune's post-Dead-Pool attire we need to pay? This just doesn't make any sense. Either update them both so their new classic skins are from the same time, that being after their respective events, or you leave them both with their genuine 'Classic' skins and then make skins for the current time in lore. But it makes no sense to just update one to what he would look like now and leave the other hanging in her past!

I've always been of the opinion that Captain Fortune should've been her default skin.

Agreed, specially since Burning Tides revealed that her flirty behavior is just a ruse, and she's actually a duplicitous, bloodthristy, vengeful hell Valkyrie.

It's a Visual Update that Riot is selling as skin

Isn't a bit frustrating how one character (Fiora) gets an unwanted visual rework while MF, doesn't get the same treatment? Captain Fortune_ is _Miss Fortune. Meanwhile Fiora looks far worse than she ever did before.

They are throwing barrels of oranges overboard, those monsters!

Honestly.

I'm not one to hate on Riot or anything but.

Let's be real.

Captain Fortune is only a skin because they don't do traditional skins anymore.

She had to disguise herself a "prostitute" while she was gaining influence in Bilgewater. Dressing like you own Bilgewater is an easy way to land on GP's shit list.

Both the classic and Captain skins are accurate depictions of Miss Fortune, just at different times in her life. For her career up until this point, classic Miss Fortune suited her perfectly. Its sexy and saucy, just like the facade she upheld perfectly until this pivotal moment. Captain Fortune is her in the moment she killed Gangplank and onwards. There's no longer a strategic need to hide her bloodlust, so her femme fatale persona- including the clothes- is gone.

I think Captain Fortune would have made a good new classic skin to show the transformation and maturation of her character. The previous classic skin could have stayed on as Bounty Hunter Miss Fortune to represent that period of her life, kind of like how Renegade Talon represents the life he spent on the streets before coming to serve General Du Couteau.

Wearing revealing clothes doesn't make you look like a prostitute what the hell

Riot doesn't understand that canon skins that depict the character in their usual clothing should be their classic skin.

OverpoweredSoap7/31/2015, 8:03:20 PM8 votes

I'm pretty sure the skin is suppose to show her after the events of Gangplank's "death".

Her classic is suppose be her on her rise up the bounty hunters and her way of gaining respect, I guess you could say.

Either one could work as the Classic though, I like 'em both.

end of the part 3 chapter 3 "“This is just the beginning,” she said. “I want everyone loyal to him to be brought to answer. I want the heads of his lieutenants mounted on my wall. Burn every bawdy house, tavern, and warehouse that bears his mark. And I want his corpse.”

Rafen was shaken. He’d heard words like that before, but never from her."

Boom captain fortune.

Her base skin should be a traditional skin and this should be the default miss fortune. I mean its to late now, because people have already paid for the 975 skin and everything. But I think this would have been a perfect time to make this her default skin and have the old classic that got updated a traditional skin.

Similar to Udyr. Her VU is locked behind a 7$(?) paywall.

Chromatic Eagle7/31/2015, 8:00:16 PM4 votes

She's not afraid to use sex appeal to get what she wants, and could easily be one of her previous costumes.

I also feel this is another case of "Should have been the visual update".

Since her new default model isn't all that different, just less blocky and outdated. But this new captain skin is pretty much how MF SHOULD BE. All pirate captain, bounty hunter-ish.

Watch Riot ignore the community on this one. We will not see a single red comment on here. Selling VUs as skins is a really scummy business practice that started with Udyr and should end with MF.

Same goes for Tryrant Swain...

Honestly with the changes they implimented they should have just called it "The Gangplank Event" instead of Bilgewater.

This should have been the VU.

This way its just "Oh, you want to play the "REAL" version of a champ and not just a sexist joke? Go and pay for that"

when I first saw the skin on the PBE I thought it was a art rework at first...

Getting sick and tired of these "premium" VU's
