Riot sends a worrying message with the Fiora and GP visual reworks.

What happened to Fiora and GP sent to me the message that I cannot depend on content I enjoyed remaining in the game. That content I paid for can be changed to suit the preferences of people who didn't like said content.

It sends the message that the enjoyment of people who have already spent money is not worth as much as the possibility of money yet to be spent in drawing in a new market to content you have altered beyond recognition.

I don't like this message, and I don't think I will be purchasing content with RP in the future, unless this is handled in a way that appeases the existing players and fans of Fiora and Gangplank.

Very few people actually had a problem with Fiora's art or models, funnily enough.

Only Riot knows why it was changed.

On the left, Fiora, on the right, a stranger who claims to be someone I know but who is clearly not.

What, only NOW you're realizing that? Need I bring up the Trundle/Karma bitchfest again?

Sorry, you only got this now?

Trundle calls Karma calls

THE ENTIRE OLD FREAKING LORE CALLS

That's the way Riot is now. They don't give a shit about appealing to multiple niche crowds, they only care about the massive androgenous mainstream blob of consumers that they THINK makes up their largest player population.

You're only seeing this now because it's affecting something you care about. "They first came for the communists..." and all that.

I'll give a standing ovation for the gameplay changes to GP, but I can't even comprehend how completely they erased the old GP's character and visuals. If that wasn't bad enough they changed his auto attack crit animation to a sword attack from a gun attack.
