Why suddenly Riot seems to have changed her poster girl Katarina for Miss Fortune?

Johnny El Rojo··8 votes·2,119 views

That's more of an observation than a doubt of mine. It's just that before the revamp of the lore, we would see Katarina at every chance given, in promotional material, and lore stories. Now, specially after all the character deveopment she has faced, MissFortune seems to have taken that spot. There's someone else that see's it like I do?

Riot should be changing their main characters every once in a while. Most people get bored of playing the same champions for months, so why would we want to stay with the same cast for our entire involvement with the game?

Getting bored of playing a champion for only a few months?

Pathetic.

would be nice to see actual cool champs in those teasers not fan service.

Guessing they think MF is a more exciting character these days, after Burning Tides she became like a bad ass pirate queen and bounty hunter. Imo that's very marketable and exciting

Yorick someday...

Not gonna lie, I saw the undead and was like "Yorick please!!"

But nope, just Lucian and Thresh again

Same with me when I saw the acid shots in the Ekko/Blitzcrank part.

Urgot someday, my friend. Someday we will see shotgunknees in all their glory.

Oh, absolutely same. Despite maining Sona I offmain both Yorick AND Urgot, so I felt blueballed TWICE by the vid, especially in the Zaun part

What happened to Ryze being in every cinematic?

Nothing, he is still there. They are just reworking him every time.

He got reworked into the tentacles

This is League of Ryze now. Every new champion or rework is really a Ryze rework.

Katarina's still a major poster girl for gameplay. But because of how awesome MF was in Burning Tides, I figured Riot's gone with her in the lore department.

Perhaps when Kat gets a lore update herself, she'll return to being a poster girl. But I don't mind seeing Miss Fortune getting some spotlight for once.

Because she's the better redhead.

I think it's because, when it comes to lore updates, MF's update in her lore as an individual had THE BEST turnout and reactions.

It delivered on everything that we wanted. We wanted her an updated. We wanted her to be more serious as was suggested in lore but never seen. She went from ditzy gal to being a gritty, hard knuckled buccaneer who will do what it takes to get what she wants. The expanse on her personality was a 180 or some random turn in a weird direction. It's what she was always meant to be, and that excited EVERYONE.

So yeah. She's poster girl now cause of all the females, she's the only one with general sex-appeal who is a straight up bad ass.

I feel like they have multiple poster girls. Miss Fortune is just the most recent to become one. I think Jinx in many ways is a poster girl (though not as used as MF or Kat), especially for new comers. I've heard multiple accounts of people who got into League because of Jinx's music video. Hell, that's part of how I got into League (along with Thresh).

Jinx was my reason to start playing LoL. Best poster girl there is.

Eternal7911 votes

I guess Jinx wasn't really the reason I started playing, that was more of my friends nagging me to start playing League. She's just why I kept playing, and she was the only champion I recognized when I started playing so I tried her.

Ye, i think that, despite Miss Fortune's appearance and all, Jinx is still their main face of recognition, nowadays. Which IS kinda cool. Having badass psycho who likes to demolish things here and there is always awesome (no matter how much i like hot pirate redhead girls) :D

Every guy likes a girl with a gun. Jinx has more and bigger guns than MF.

I noticed that kat hasnt been used a lot like she used to be (for promotional material and other small details like the shop loading icon). I dont mind it too much but i would love to have more lore/cinematic stuff for her

Warwick Main1 votes

Although I main Warwick, the majority of my (got autofilled) were in the video: Sup: Blitzcrank Mid:Ekko (off main) Adc:Lucian

So needless to say Riot wants me to keep playing.
