The splash looks damn amazing, Riot. It doesnt sexualize her, it doesnt have her in a "dynamic" (aka super impossible and awkward to look at) pose, it's just her casting her spell and looking like a super badass.

I especially love the color palette in this splash. The blues and purples look amazing and set an awesome mood.

Again, good job Riot, on this splash, on Wukong's splash update, and on pretty much every new splash you've made, well, this whole year (which is a LOT).

One. GLARING. Issue.

Why isn't she sucking the life out of helmet bro / attacking him?

I thought we already established this guys, the Reapers just have a really bad PR department, they're not all evil.

Joking aside, I kinda like this depiction of the reaper. She seems more of a benevolent ferryboat-woman who ushers them to the afterlife, she's not trying to make your passing any less comfortable then it is, in fact, she's trying to make it as smooth as possible.

I love the splash too. I feel the model itself is still wanting of some further iteration. But everything concerning the skin is coming along nicely.

Honestly it's a really beautiful and well done splash art, but I would (and apparently am the only one) rather her having a more grimy, malevolent kind of splash art.

I was afraid that Riot was going to go with a more intimidating or scary route with Reaper Soraka splash but they decided to go with a straight up "I'm a badass" pose, props.

Now for her ingame model, I would like that purpler cowl to be tone down just a tad more. But if the 10/29 is the final iteration, I'm cool with the current model.

Her thumb looks longer than it should

Nothin' wrong with some "sexualization" here and there. It just has to be appropriate with the theme.

she looks like a female two legged hecarim... which is a great thing, cuz hecarim is a boss.

Well I don't think most people WANT too see a "sexualized" goat unicorn lady ;)

I would disagree. That's a very dynamic pose she has there, with her fingers curled, and her other arm stretched beyond her body.

Props to the splash art department, I have to admit I've always checked the splash art section first for the glorious new splashes in every patch notes before anything else, and I always look forward to the next one. Well done guys!

Am I the only one still worried about her in-game hood color? It's a lot brighter than the splash makes it out to be.

I think only her original splash is sexualized. I'm pretty sure most of her skins show her in normal poses.

I think he tore off Karthus' fingers for herself.

I can say that as an humble gold soraka main that I will be buying this skin, as soon as I saw it on the PBE I knew I needed to have it.

yeh that would have been good

Except for her horn being ridiculously oversized (even compared to in game model) it's great. Just fix the horn please.

Agreed, it's amazing.

Shurle10/31/2014, 11:45:12 PM1 votes

I agree. Good job Riot, you managed to draw a female champion without a broken spine and gigantic cleavage barely contained by a battle-bra. Keep it up.
